come. New England rags are worth
almost four and one-half cents a
pound, while mid-Western rags sell
for three and one-half cents. On the
Pacific Coast, the market price is
only three cents. The explanation OF
this is that New England, with its
cold climate, wears more wool; con-
sequently, it's rags contain higher
percentage of wool~ which is the
most valuable commodity of the rag
market.
One of the points which the Asso-
citation was especially anxious to
make was that the standing of. their
connections with the manufacturers
of the country should be on higher
level. They wished to make it clear
that everything which the nlanufac-
turers made and sold was not to them

the same cars several times in NOV
ing spring shipment for the farmers.
Many farmers find early ordering
of advantage in other ways. In many
parts of the country, hauling on the
snow is important, as after the spring
season opens the roads become
muddy and almost impossible. La
Dor costs of hauling are less before
the rush of spring work and the
farmer is sure of an early start with
the first breaking of spring because
he has his supplies on hand ready for
use. If farmers will realize that
shipping conditions are far worse
than ever before and that the need is
urgent not only that they may secure
good crops and profits which would
be impossible without proper sup
plies, but that the prices for food
products next fall may be prohibitive
to many consumers unless general
large crops are harvested next fall,
their cooperation will be given at
once.
Larger acreages than last year and
more attention and more intensive
cultivation to each acre are other re-
suits of the higher prices for food
products last year that are also in
fiuencing the buying of larger
amounts of fertilizer and other sup
plies this spring. When prices are
double, the investments in plant food,
good seed, and other essentials pay
double, and farmers are ready to do
their part toward getting larger
yields and profits than ever before

work Of the state and not of it's mu-
inequalities. The time is rapidly ap-
preaching when the public demand for
such reservations will be imperative.
The commission believes that an ex-
penditure by the state in the next de-
cade of four or five million dollars
for this purpose would establish for
all time that which in the end the
public will demand, and the cost of
which, if deferred, will grow apace."
The report gives an assurance that
the tax burden, which the carrying
out of it's plans would involve, would
be so small as to be negligible, and
that the property values which may
be withdrawn from local taxation will
be comparatively small and such with
drawal will be largely compensated
by the enhancement of neighboring
values"
The report says that the entire cost
of acquiring properties should not fall
upon those who pay current taxes.
The commission suggests that this
cost should be met by an issue of
state park bonds. to run-say for thir
ty years, involving a relatively small
annual appropriation to cover inter-
est and sinking fund charges"

The first two articles of the diet

Fl. e., in such amounts as to supply
the, right quantity of muscle forming
foods in comparison with the energy

with the fruit, however, make a ra-
ton which is well balanced, not only
in the Older and more widely accept

ROMANCE OF THE WEST

A news dispatch from Denver, Col,
reports the serious illness at his home
in Denver, Col, of that ancient
friend of the American people, Buff
falo Bill. The news brings a reminis-
cent thrill. A very big section of the
American people used to go to see
Col. Cody in his famous show as Oft
ZEN as he made the rounds. To peo-
pie who dwelt in conventionalized
cities and towns, there was something
very romantic and alluring about it.
Young people become weary of
factory walls. whirring machinery,
ink spotted ledgers, and rafting type
writer's. The life among horses and
cattle and sheep and fruit ranches
and mining prospects seems one of
joyous freedom and boundless pos
sibility. The Buffalo Bill show
brought to Eastern and Central
cities as much of the atmosphere Of
that life, as could be transferred I'M
der a circus tent. No doubt it was
the agency that melted a great many
ambitious and energetic young men
to undertake pioneering.
The same sentiment is to-day ap-
pealed to by moving picture men.
MANY nlmS are rOmdnceS OF w eStern
life, stories dealing with mining and
lumber camps, cattle ranges and the
like. Cowboys, desperadoes, honest
heroes in search of a fortune, girls
who ride horseback over lonely
spaces with all the daring of a man,
are the figures that charm their mill
lions of spectators.
To-day the range Of adventurous
iS nj Ia
ranges are largely cut up, and great
corporation usurp the field Of the
individual prospector. But there are
great treasures as yet unseen, both
of minerals and of soil riches. Young
people who like adventure are still
leaving settled business to try these
chances. Buffalo Bill no longer tours
the country in person to make this
life seem attractive. though his fol-
lowers and imitators still draw their
crowds. In the movie theatre young
people still sit breathless while the
romance of pioneer life is depicted
on the screen

CITY JEWELLERS AND
COUNTRY FOLK WILL
FEEL CAR SHORTAGE

The present congested conditions of
fright traffic on the railroads and
the alarming and growing car short
age will affect the entire country, If
shipments for spring use by the
farmers are delayed and crops next
season delayed in planting, fertilizing,
spraying and handling through the
early and critical stages in their
growth. Early ordering and shipping
of the supplies is the only solution
offered by the manufacturers and the
railroads, and farmers who expect to
get their fertilizers, lime, seeds, gar
den and farm supplies and other
equipment are urged to ''do their
spring shopping early" Three hum
dred thousand freight cars are need
ed for the moving of the 100000
cars of fertilizer alone that is nor
mally used ON spring crops in the
United States, and the manufacturers
of this important and necessary item
in crop production find that unless
shipments are ordered early the rail-
roads will not be able to move their
goods promptly
In past years over 90S per cent. Of
the spring fertilizer has been ordered
and shipped over a period of six to
eight weeks If farmers will order
their supplies much earlier, thus ex-
tending the shipping season over
three months, the railroads will be
able to use the same cars several
times and the farmers will be sure
of getting the same cars several times
and the farmers will be sure of get
ting their plant food and other sup
plies in time for spring use. The
month of January is not a rush
month on the railroads, but the
period just before the coming Of
spring is one of the greatest rush
ing of all kinds of farm supplies is
expected this spring throughout the
country as a result of the high prices
which farmers received for their
crops last season.
In a statement just issued, Presi-
dent Horace Bowker, of the National
Fertilizer association, points out that
this year the cooperation of the
farmers, dealers, manufacturers and
railroads is necessary, and that such
co-opertion will help everybody. He
urges the ordering of as near maxi
mum cars instead of minimum ca
Dacity cars whenever possible as
another way in which the railroads
nay be helped in the moving of the
spring fertilizers. BY earlier order
ing the railroads will be able to use

Urges State to Buy

Hartford, Dec. 22.-General Edward
E. Bradley, president of the Connect
cut state park commission, has pre-
sented to Governor Holcomb the re-
port of the commission for the two ifs
cal years ending Sept. 80. During the
two years the commission spent near
ly $4,000 in the purchase of land for
state parks in Westport, East Hamp-
ton and Litchfield.

ton of land for park reservations and
says Gin meeting the demands for

TREND OF U. s.
POPULATION Is
TOWARD CITIES
Census Bureaus Estimates
Show That Big Centers
Attract People.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The popula-
ton of the United States continues to
shift to the. cities, according to esti-
mates announced today by the census
bureau. The estimates, based upon
the rate of population increases from
1900 to 1910, disclosed that 4O.9 per
cent. of the country's inhabitants now
live in cities of more than 5000 as
against 1896 per cent. in 1900.
Ten states have taken censuses
since the last federal census in 1910
and seven show population increases.
Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming
decreased from 1910 to 1915, the
greatest reduction being in Wyoming,
2.96 per cent. The least increase
was in Iowa with a growth of but 6
per cent. The greatest increase was
22.56 per cent, in Florida. In Flor
ida, Iowa and Massachusetts, the per-
centage of increase from 1905 to 1915
was greater than from 1900 to 1910,
but in the other seven states it was
much higher from 1900 to 1910 than
from 1905 to 1915. In Kansas, North
and South Dakota and Wyoming the
rate of growth from 1900 to 1910
was nearly double that from 1910 to
1915
In Iowa a decrease of 7.OS was
shown from 1900 to 1910 and an in
crease of 14S,O16 from 1910 to 1915.
In New Jersey, New York and
ERODE Island, slight decreases were in
dicated by the state returns of 1905
and 1915 as compared with the in
crease from 1900 to 1910. In the past
six years the growth in the white pop
ulation was 100000 and of the ne
gro population about three-fourths of
a million.
The populations of some leading
cities, as estimated today, are: New
York. 5,602,S41: Chicago, 2,497,722;
Philadelphia, 1,7O9,51s; st. Louis, 49,
300; Boston, 756,476; San Francisco,
463,516; Providence, 254,960; Worces-
ter, 163,314.
Census officials were. careful to- eX-
plain that these estimates do not take
into consideration local conditions and
that they are based solely on the rate
of the population increase or decrease
in the past.

SOLD HIS JUNK
RAILROAD Line
TO The ENGLISH
r
"Can,'' Made in America,
Shipped In Entirety to
Great Britain.

New York, Dec. 22-Three rail-
road presidents attended the meeting
of the National Association of Waste
Material Dealers yesterday at the Ho-
tel Aston. One of them was Herman
Sonken, president of the Chicago,
Anamosa & Northern Railroad and
the Iowa Short Line; another was
Theodore Hotter, president of the
Buffalo & Susquehanna. Mr.. Son
ken, who admitted that he was the
youngest railroad president in the
country said his experience as a rail-
road executive was not limited to
these two roads, for he had been
president of half a dozen others since
he started in the waste material"
business. He pointed out that to re-
fer to him as junkman was very
indicate, approaching vulgarity,
and not in the least in keeping with
executive dignity.
The price of old rail material has
advanced to such an extent that it, is
going to be a very profitable thing,
according to President Sonken, to
tear up his SO miles of the Chicago,
Anamosa & Northern, often called
the "Can" road, and ship the whole
thing to England, to be relaid over
there. With the rails will be includ-
ed six freight cars, two combination
passenger cars, three locomotives
and six steel bridges, all ready to
bridge any creek worth crossing. His
other, property, Is miles long, but
Boosting Il freight cars, one locomo-
tive, and one caboose, is now "prac-
tically disposed of.
World Using Up It's Waste.
Steel rail and old iron are not the
only things that have advanced ma
terially in price in the last year, say
the officers of the Association. .Ac-
cumulations of waste matter all over
the world are now lower than they
have ever been before, and the de-
mand is greater than ever. The Sun
day newspaper, reputed to be worth
five cents unread, is worth one cent
as waste paper, even after the chill
dren have finished with colored sup
plement. Old black stockings are
now going at about one cent a pair
In fact, there is nothing which the
public discards which has not some
value to the waste material dealers,
with the possible exception of cor
sets and WORKOUT shoes.
The waste material business of the
United States in 1916 has amounted
to over one billion dollars, say the
dealers. Rags are being shipped from
the most remote points, where the
freight rate alone is higher than the
old value of the rags before the great
boom came. The rag market is worry
strong to-day and a pound of woollen
rags is worth 16 cents to any waste
material dealer. Mixed rags are go
ing at record prices, with thirds and
blues and Country mixed rags
leading the market Waste paper of
various sorts averages from one to
two cents a pound. Bagging alone is
suffering from a bear raid, and there
are those who think that prices in
that commodity have been manipu-
lated.

here were 1877 homicides and the rate

been decided retrogression.'' 1t says
that murder, if not decidedly on the
increase, has certainly reached la
mentable proportions, with no indica-
tions of a return to an earlier condi-
ton, when murder was more rare and
drastic punishment more certain"
While the rate for New England Is
20, it is 4.S for the Middle Atlantic
states, 1871 for the Southern states, AZ
for the North Central states, 81 for
the South Central states.
Firearms were employed in the larg-
est number of murders, 81 per cent. of
the deaths being caused by them. Cut.
ting and piercing instruments were
next in favor by murderers.
Out of 20,465 deaths caused by hon.
icide from 1910 to- 1914, sc per cent
were of persons under Is years of age,
and 2.9 per cent. of persons under 8
years. ut is hardly necessary to

the deaths at ages under 5, a large
number are criminal abortions. In

persons were murdered by persons

Although there has been a slight
