HOGS WOULDN'T EAT CORN
Animals From Louisiana Had Become
Accustomed TO Their Diet Of Nuts,
and Wanted Them.

One of the strangest sights at the
Kansas City stockyards in recent
months was the arrival of six car
loads Of hogs from northern Louisi-
ana, about six hundred in all, that
did not know what corn was. Sew
cral bushels Of corn were thrown into
the pens where they were yardcd. and
the hogs cracked a few grains. tried
to extract a kernel, and gave it up
as a bad job.

crn hogs tried to discover the source
Of their food supply by looking
through the cracks in the fence.
Statesmen and yardmen. looking
over the fence, threw grains Of corn
into the air and let them fall among
the hogs. They followed the sound
to where the corn fell. but refused
to accept it as food. The hogs we're

Of the razorback type, with heads as
long as the rest Of the body. Some

been worn into grooves by cracking
nuts.
These hogs were shipped from
northern Louisiana to Kansas City.
The small amount Of fat they carried
was gained by eating nuts, roots and
leaves OF mast. They ranged in
weight from 30 to 175 pounds.
The prices bid for them were Sc
to $3.50. This class Of hogs is said
to make an excellent kind Of lean

Under these circumstances has not
the time fully come that when one
enters this great army of laborers, he
too should thereby become subject ia
the same body the Interstate Com.
merce Commission and be guided and
controlled by its decision, 90 this all the
more because of the unqualified respect
its decisions demand and receive? Pos
sibly as long ~ capital and labor are
mutually essential to the successful
employment of each other fears will
exist that the one or the other is getting
the lions share of profits; but in the
great line of industries in question,
where the interests of all are affected,
nothing could be fairer than that the
duly selected representatives of all
should hold the scales of justice. When
An issue arises between two parties and
one refuses To solicit and acquiesce in
the action Of an impartial court the
evidence is conclusive that he fears to
learn what true justice demands of him.
With wars all about US and industrial
conditions growing out of them 80 I'M
certain that the safe conduct of business
is well nigh impossible, the people of
this country will not willingly stand Il
strike which would still further unsette
business; and If railroad men are wise
they will do all in their power to settle
peacefully question which it does not
appear should have been raised at this

me THREATENED RAILROAD
STRIKE.

The public is considering with deep
interest and undisguised alarm the re.
cent demands Of II class Of railroad EN-.
ployees for an increase in wages which
will add an additional cost Of 800, 600,
600 per annum to the roads expense &C.
count for transportation charges. This is
no ordinary demand for increased wages
first, because the parties seeking il are
unquestionably already very literally
paid; secondly, can the railroads pay
more; and thirdly, what is the most eff.
fective remedy by which to settle the
issue
The contest to bring railroads to q
proper relation to the public has been
30 holly fought in all legislative assem-
blies, both state and national, that only
very recently most roads were unable
to operate on dividend paying basis;
and it would be sad indeed il this ad-
ditional drain were to set them back to
their standing Of two years ago.
DO those who pstroniZe railroads,
whether rs passengers or freight carri-
ers, wish to pay more? for only out Of
their earnings can expenses and divi-
dends be paid If not, what is the
most feasible solution Of the problemY
During recent years both our state and
national governments have been apply
ing an iron hand to these media Of com.
merce and travel, holding that in virtue
of their public rights sndprivileges they
owe equivalent duties to the public.
As consequence capital never in the

NE NAIVE POET.

We are publishing elsewhere in this
issue poem entitled "The Bird That
Sung in May. and brief sketch of it's
author. William Cromwell. The fresh.
ness and simplicity of sentiment run
ming through the poem will commend it
to our readers and that Harper Bros.
should have published it over half a
century ago is a further evidence of its
poetic worth. In these days of war
war with the pen as well as with the
sword. it is something very soothing to
become child Of nature for even a
little while, and learn our lesson from
the song-bird. Is il not also well to
keep fresh recollections Of n class of
Maryland producers. poets, who are
growing all too scarce in this painfully
practical age2

REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS AT
HOWE

II gives us great pleasure to note
with what sympathetic energy the va.
rious relief committees appointed to
inquire into the domestic situations
created in some cases by the sudden
call of our soldiers to the field Of duty,
have taken up the work. These com.
mittees, with carefully prepared data
covering each case have gone promptly
into the field and taken up and disposed
OF their cases with even greater zeal
and care than would have been given
to personal friends. Comparatively
few require aid. In certain cases house
rent has been paid. and nurses, physi.
clans and medicine furnished, but
generally relatives and friends have
come to the rescue and insisted upon do.
ing what generous public WAS willing
to do
In determining the reasonable
amount to furnish, committees aim not
to exceed the difference between a
family's ordinary income and the salary
the head will now receive regularly
from the government; it cannot be expect.
ed that family will actually profit by
the absence of it's head, and besides the
utmost economy will be necessary tc
exc out the available funds during ar
indefinite future.
In this connection il is worthy OF
note that notwithstanding the gener
Gus hand already shown, only q yer,
small proportion of our people have YET
contributed, This voluntary tax is JUS
rs much duty on the part of all n
paying ordinary taxes is duty, and il
Is many times more appealing in il
nature.
One Of Il committees most important
duties is to organize public meetings
at least one in each district where tn,
subject in all its bearings may be fully
laid before the community. and there i,
good reason to believe that the spiri
will be healty and responses hearty, -
there are other ways Of helping besidei

EARLY CLOSING OF STORES.

The recent effort made by the Civic
Association Of this community to bring
about shortened day for merchants
during the heated season has been
favored 80 nearly unanimously by pro.
prietors Of business houses that il would
be well for the minority to consider well
whether they should not make the vote
unanimous. We are advised that only
four merchants oppose closing their
stands four nights per week during
ing July and August. While this many
can block such a proposition, does 1t
pay them to do so? That the general
public is voluntarily asking to be cut off
from the convenience of night shopping
shows AN admirable spirit on their part
and manifestly il all close none will be
the losers, 80 why not gladly accept the
chance to sell in twelve. hour day what
is now dealt out in fifteen hour period?
Such course is universal in cities, with
an added half holiday on Saturday
afternoon.
The proposition is in no sense an eff
fort to interfere with proprietor who
wishes to conduct his business according
to his own inclinations Though the
right to interfere under certain circum-
stances is unquestioned both by law and
by CUSTOM; it is a move for CO. operation
between buyers and sellers to tighten
the hours and hence increase the eff
cheney of employees during a period
when the exhausting effects of long
hours are universally acknowledged. 1t
Ia worth while for those declining to
accept the proposition to consider (a)
whether it is not right in principle. (b)
whether it would not be wise in prac-
tice; (c) and whether it would not in
the end enure to their financial benefit.
The world is moving on, progressive
moves are being made daily which our
merchants are keen to catch onto, why
not gladly join the professions in this
one?

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

eThe nervous system is the alarm system
OF the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network Of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tirrdness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Rmul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cclls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. II is free from alcohol.
