Kitchener Wheat.

Some years ago Lord Kitchenar's
name was given to kind Of wheat
that was introduced by him into South
Africa. The story is told In the Daily
London Chronicle. While Kitchener
was in India some of the acquaint.
ances he had made in South Africa
wrote to him that their wheat was suf-
fering from rust and that they had
heard that Tibetan wheat was immune
from this disease. Could he send
them few bushels7 He sent the
wheat and that was an end Of the
matter, as he thought.
Some years afterward he was at
Nairobi, and saw a few acres Of
growing wheat, named Kitchener
wheat. He learned that the seed had
come from part of South Africa,
1000 miles distant-the offspring OF
the marriage Of his Tibetan wheat
with a native variety. 49," said Lord
Kitchener, ''just as my grandfather
Doctor Chevallier, gave his name to a
famous barley, mine is now attached
to special kind Of wheat"

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The plan proposed by President
Wilson for settling the differences
between the railroad companies
and their employees is in no sense
a compromise. It is q demand
that the companies concede every
important thing that the men ask.
Il is charged that the president is
playing politics. That he can see
chance to win more votes by
courting favor with the men than
by siding with the companies. If
this be his purpose he is losing
sight Of one important point. How
will his plan affect the public in.
terests? It seems inevitable that
to accept his plan would necessa.
rily mean a general raise in rail.
road rates, and unless the president
is prepared to show that such raise
is necessary in order to do justice
to The railroad men, he will antag-
onize the public and possibly lose
more votes than the railroad men
can deliver. From any showing
that has yet been made it is
not apparent that the railroad
employees in general, are suffering
any injustice as compared with la.
borers IN other lines. There may
be isolated cases of this kind, but
If 80 the remedy should be applied
only where the need exists. Justice
to the men and justice to the com.
panles is essential, but justice to
The public is just as essential, and
the public should not be forced to
submit to injustice in order to grant
special fayors either to the compa.
MES or their employees.

birds are of a great variety in

thing possible to protect them on
account Of their. value and beauty.
Birds are of value because they eat
worms and hnoa that are harmfn
to plant life. If we did not have
the birds to rid US of these crea-
lures the farmer would soon notice
a vast change and there would be
possibility of famine. Another
cause why the birds should be pro-
