NO HOPE OF SETTLING STRIKE
Operation of Motor Buses Planned In
New York-Surface Traffic
Virtually Stops.

New York.-The failure of Mayor
Mitchell and the public service corr
mission to induce the street railway
officials to arbitrate differences with
their employees leaves this city still in
the grip of the transit strike. Sus-
pension of traffic on all surface car
lines in Manhattan and the Bronx at
night and infreQuent cars during the
day has packed subway and elevated
lines
Mayor Mitchell said that something
would have to be done Immediately,
and that he hoped to devise some
means by which all cars could run
again. The mayors plan to have the
board grant a franchise to the New
York Motor Bus Company, permitting
omnibus traffic throughout the city,
did not give much hope, as 1t takes
80 days for the franchise to be grant
ed and to put busses in operation.
VIM. B. Fitzgerald, organizer of the
carmen's union, accuses the transit
company of fearing defeat by its re-
fusal to arbitrate the strike. He de-
clared arbitration would be the
"surest way to prevent both misun-
derstanding and public deception"

MOUNTED POLICE ON BORDER
Mounted Border Patroi-Danaer
In Dual Authority.

New London-A suggestion that the
Mexican government create constab-
ulary for border duty similar to the
rurales of the Diaz regime was made
during brief session Of the Ameri-
can joint commission, concluding the
second week of it's deliberations. APP
parently the plan for joint police
force previously discussed was aban-
doned as impracticable after the COM
missioners had conferred with Maj
Gen. Bliss, assistant chief of staff Of
the United States army.
Gen. Bliss, it was learned, made a
dispassionate statement of the situa-
ton he believed would follow Gen.
Pershing's withdrawal from Mexico
before properly constituted constab-
ulary is created to relieve his troops.
1t is understood he pointed out the
difficulty of creating a border police
under dual authority.
The withdrawal of Pershing's troops
and their relief was discussed. No def
mite assurances were given by the
Mexicans that the places of the Amer.
leans would be taken by Mexican
troops, but it is known that they re-
gard it as beyond question that a suf-
ficient number of Mexican police
would be placed in the district now
covered by the mericans.
The police could check up the COM
ings and goings of every man in sus-
pected community. Moving swiftly
and unhampered by women camp fol-
lowers, who form the commissary Of
Mexican military force, the rurales.
it is believed, could do much toward
putting permanent check on bril-
ganda5e.

FINE INVESTMENT IN CALVES
In Buying Up Young Animals-
Feed Cost but Little.

Now Is the time for farmers who
have more hay than they can feed, to
buy calves, for they will make a fine
investment. At least my experience
proves SO, says a writer in an ex-
change. Three years ago we bought
IL calves, as we had more hay than
we could use. 1t was cowpea hay.
Usually at this time of the year some
farmers have one or two calves for
sale for about $40 to SIS each, which
is the price we paid for ours. We
turned them on pasture, and by the
time pasture was gone they were In
fair shape, as they were very poor
when we bought them. That winter
all we fed them was cowpea hay. In
spring they were nice, sleek and fat.
Then about June and July we bred
them to fine registered Jersey bull.
All the calves were part or all Jer-
seys.
The manure was worth as much as
the hay, for it is the best Of fertili-

THE UNIVERSITY
IS DOING THINGS
SYSTEMATIC INSTRUCTION WILL
BE GIVEN STUDENTS ON WIRE.
LESS TELEGRAPHY.
MODERN SYSTEM IN EFFECT
Mississippi's Great University Strictly
Modern In All Courses-Students
Thoroughly Qualified When
They Get Sheepskins.


The University of Mississippi at Ok.
ford possesses one of the few wire
less" receiving stations in the state,
and perhaps the only station in the
state at which systematic Instruction
is given in the principles and practice
Of wireless telegraphy. The advan-
tages of such instructions are many.
In the first place, wireless telegraphy
as means of commercial communica-
ton 10 being greatly extended on land
and sea, and is offering increasing op-
portunities for skilled operators at
good salaries. The demonstration of
successful communication by wireless
under conditions such that all other
means of communication fail Is SUI.
Iicient guarantee that wireless meth.
DDS have come to stay. Wireless meth.
DDS embody many of the laws and the
cries of physical science and almost
all of the principles of electricity, and
for this reason its study offers to the
student many avenues for advance
ment in applied electricity other than
that of professional operator.
The university feels that it is work
ing in keeping with the spirit OF prog
ress and utility in offering its students
the opportunity to become familiar
with this scientific achievement which
is destined to play such an important
role in our civilization.

out the time in feeding the II, which
was not much, as all we had to do
was to stuff hay in the hangers
twice q day and salt them once a
week. Water was plentiful. The next
winter we fed them clover and cow
pea hay, also corn slower, no grain,
and they were in fine shape.
In the spring they had calves, OF
which we kept the females and sold
the males. The calves were worth
more than the handling of the cows.
Then we had young, fresh cows for
sale, which after the sale brought over
$50 each. Before selling we bred to
our registered Jersey bull, which was
one of the best to be had.

WATER AND SALT NECESSARY
Important Requisites for Proper Manu-
facture Of MIX, Says South Da-
kota Professor.

Don't stint your dairy cows on wa
tel, If you want them to keep up the
milk supply, suggests Prof. G. Lar
sen Of South Dakota State college.
He states that the amount Of water
needed by a dairy cow is in proper
ton to the amount Of milk she gives.
The average cow will drink about 70
pounds per day, while some very large
milk producers drink 200 pounds per
day. The dairy cows should also have
free access to salt. The right method
of feeding salt is to have water-tight
box 10 or IL feet long in the yard,
raised about two feet from the ground
on solid posts. Then put whole bar
rel of salt in the box and keep plenty
Of 1t there all the time. The COW
needs salt not only for her body but
for the manufacture Of milk.

CLEANLINESS is BIG FACTOR
Special Care Should Be Taken to Pre-
vent Meal in Corner OF Boxes
From Fermenting.

Cleanliness is one of the most inn
portant factors in feeding young
calves. Clean feeding pals, troughs,
and stalls are safeguards against d.
gestive troubles. milk should be fed
only in clean pals, which should be
washed and scalded after each feed
ing. All feed boxes should be kept
clean. Special care should be taken
to prevent meal from fermenting in
the corners of boxes. Fermented or
moldy feed will often upset the diges-
tive system of a calf and endanger
it's life. No more grain should be
fed than will be cleaned up in a few
minutes. The bedding in calf stalls
becomes wet very quickly. The calf
should by all means be kept dry, and
it is therefore necessary to keep the
stalls well bedded at all times.

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR ARMY
Improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob
nailed for Service in
Mexico.

The war department appointed a
shoe commission in 1912 to design a
model embodying the best points OF
all the army shoes, surprising them,
if possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials. well
made on a rational last designed by
the department. The interior is per-
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
is flexible and without metal shnnk or
other asifEening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle it Is wide
across the ball OF the foot and has q
high toe cap. 1t Is comfortable. neat
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
AS soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes of the type which they are now
using on the border they will be refit-
ted with the new type which the gov
eminent has ordered, says writer In
the Outlook. The newest shoe Is hob
nailed and weighs three pounds seven
ounces. 1t has been adopted for Mexi-
can service because the present type
has not worn we'll in mountain climb
ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe is
similar to that in use in the italian
army.
Whether this model will be perma-
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight of the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather used de-
tract from the comfort of it. 1t has
some disadvantages, therefore, but the
severe usage in Mexico made it desir-
able to give this type thorough try
out in regular service.

New York.-Eighty thousand work
ers in crafts closely affiliated with the
operation of New York's traction lines
are expected to go on strike Monday,
1t was announced at the close Of the
meeting of Central Federated
Union. Representatives of 100000
unionized employees were at the meet
ing. 1t was said, and passed resolu-
ton calling on each trade to ascertain
the sentiment of members regarding
q general strike in sympathy with the
car men here, who quit their places
September 6.
A referendum has been in progress
among many of the crafts for several
days, and If the sympathetic strike is
authorized, union leaders predict, it
will be the most effective blow that
could be dealt in the Garments strike
In progress since Sept. on the ele-
waited, subway and surface transporta-
ton lines.
The trades in which the referendum
has been in progress, 1t is said, in
clude longshoremen, teamsters, power
house employees. stationary engineers
and f1remen and machinists. Figures
are available only from the machin-
lists, and it Is said their vote shows
about 70 per cent in favor of sympa-
thetic strike.
Union leaders attach much impor-
lance to the action of the machinists,
most Of whom are employed in plants
manufacturing munitions OF war for
the entente allies, and say strike in
that trade would be direct blow at
the Morgan interests.
