NUMBER AUTOMOBILES
 INCREASING IN ARK ANSAS

Little Rock, May 20.-If the number Of automobiles in use is a sign of prosperity financial conditions in Ar kansas could not be more favorable. At the beginning of the year State Highway Commissioner Owen bought H0o9 tags, and even that lie consid
 cred taking great risk. But all ex- cept about five hundred of these are gone, and he has sent in rush order Tor two thousand more. and is think Ing that even that may not be suffi- cent On account of the advance in 'Ae price Of sheet iron, the tage are costing about twenty-five per cent more than they did a few months ago.

How to Build a Campfire.

In the July Woman's Home Companion
are the following directions for building
a campfire:
III you add the contents of small
bag of charcoal to your wood fire as soon
as it has a good start, the fire burns
with steady glow conducive to cult
nary success.
1--WE have a way of building a fire
which has proved most satisfactory:
With a stick or fiat stone dig a trench
about eighteen inches long and four
inches in depth and width. Build the fire
in this, placing two fiat stones across
the top, one for the frying pan and the
other for the kettle. Bacon can be broied
by holding it on the ends of green point
ed sticks. Potatoes. corn and apples can
be roasted in the same way. One of the
chief charms of this fire is that there is
little danger of its spreading. Then, too,
1T can be easily extinguished. Be sure to
carry matches and an old newspaper to
start the blaze"

long decline in meat production i'll the
West and explains why there is reason
to believe that this Is now thing of
the past. In addition it includes detailed
studies of the present cost of producing
steers and lambs.
Between 1910 and 1914. the year in
which the investigation on which the
report is based were made, the numbers
of live stock in the eleven states OF Ari
IONA, California, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Mexico. Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming, de
clined about IL per cent. For this de-
cline the report holds the settlement OF
public lands and the consequent reduc-
ton of the range primarily responsible.
A number of other causes have contrib
uted to the downward movement. but il
is pointed out these have been more than
offset by high prices and therefore more
profitable range animals, and the general
agricultural development which have ia
vored production by leading to more
adoption of the practice of |
winter feeding and winter pasturing on
alfalfa and cultivated crops. /
The prediction that this decrease here ,

Mediate Rather Than Strike.

Negotiation between managers of the
railways of the United States and theil
employees, union and non-union having
! failed. the labor leaders, with apparently
! sincere regret, are now conducting a
strike referendum the outcome of which
it is assumed. will be favorable to eX-
treme measures. At least it will put in
the hands of the tacticians of the labor
forces a weapon which they can use in
the last resort.
Meantime what of the people who trav-
ell, and ship freight, to whom free move
ment of themselves and of their goods
are essential factors in the daily routine :?
They have been steadily watching the
course of the negotiations carried on in
New York City, with concessions chroni-
eled now and again that seemed to point
to peace with honor. They have noted
the temper with which the protagonists
have carried on the process, one com
mendable on the whole, be it said. They
know that in all the sparring and play
ing for position that has taken place
there has been the common desire to
avoid a form of civil war such as a
strike of this sort would practically be,
with its hold-up of the land transporta-
ton business of people never more
eager than now to have its trafficking ex-
done The public, therefore,
doubts whether such war will open;
but it is convinced that it should not,
and shall not, at least until there has
been a test of the mediation methods
provided for in the Newlands law, en-

when lady exlaimed:

She pointed to Jackson's trunk, por
ter shouldered it and was about to car

Certainly. Don't you see my initials

Those are my initials, and / am

GO on, porter" said the lady, and
off they went, leaving Mr. Jackson
gaping after them. He was about tc

an official pointed to another trunk
with the same initials on it and asked
IF II his Tariysnn yvo

less there is some familiar mark on it
However, it was evident that there
were two trunks with the same initials
on them, and Jackson argued that this
one was either his or hers. So ht

is said, is TO aid in the change by work
ing out system which will make sucl
agriculture profta BILE.
In addition to this increase in the
numbers OF farm stock. there is little
doubt that the carrying capacity of the
existing ranges can be greatly enlarged
| This has been demonstrated in the ma
tional forests where improved methods
and regulation have increased the ca
pscity of many ranges from Is to 80 per
cent, This process should continue for
at least ten years more and should re-
suit in building up the carrying capacity
of the national forests as a whole BY per.
haps Is per cent
If similar control could be exercised
over the public domain outside of the
forests. it is estimated that the capacity
of these ranges could be increased about
30 per cent About half of this would
result from the improvement in the
range itself after oyerstocking and pre-
mature grazing were prevented and nat.
ural reseeding facilitated. The remain
der would follow water development, the
construction of fences and the introduce
ton of methods of handling stock which
are out of the question as long as ire
improvement of conditions on the range
merely provides an incentive for new
men to crowd in and undo by overstoek
ing whatever good has been accomplished
The carrying capacity of these ranges
has greatly diminished in the past and
under the present system there is no
reason for supposing that it will increase
in the future.
Other factors, though of less impo:
lance, that should tend to increase the
future production of live stock are great
err economy in the use of forage Doth on
the range and on the farm, the use OF
