"Mr. Sun said 1t was nice and
warm. for he was working hard and
seeing that everyone was warm. Then
MIR. Wind said 1t was 3 fine cold day
for he was blowing hard. They al.
most had quarrel about it, and then
they overheard some Grown-Up say:
Its warm in the Sun today. but
otherwise it's really quite cold for the

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.


Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States?, This ques-
ton was asked by doubling federal Of
flcials after they had investigated the
report of W. ]. v. Deacon, state regis
trar of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.8
per 1000. The answer Of Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel L. Rogers. direc.
tors of the United States bureau OF
census, gave this reason among 9th
ers:
Kansas is a prohibition state and
has been for q generation. and in Kan.
sas. prohibition really prohibits. do
not mean by this there II no alcohol
consumed in the state, but the abb
sence of the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who, In the absence Of any bar room.
find more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition is that the
wage of the laborer or mechanic Is not
disslpated, but goes to supply those
necessities Of food, clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the wellbeing Of
their families and themselves"

Some genius conceived the idea of throw ing the fire hose into the caisson and sending in water with press ure of up to one hundred pounds. The water rose very little in the pipe at first, but at sixty or seventy pounds began to reach the level, trickling over at ninety and going over freely at one hundred. The experiment is considered a success and to prove conclusively in the estl- nation of it's promoters that the waters reaches to the ocean from the crevice in the bottom of the drill hole.

URGES RAILWAY EXTENSION TO

Washington, Nov. 23.-An increase
of the nations transportation facili-

railroads, told the Newlands congress
siOnaI railroad investigating commit
tee today.
Thorn argued that the railroads
now are under a burden which pre-
vents successful marketing of their
securities and a consequent lack Of
development.
There has been less than 1 900
miles of new railroad constructed in
the United States during the past
year" he said. ''This is less than any
year since 1848 except the period of
the civil war, and yet the cost Of liv-
ing is daily advancing owing to a
shortage or supplies. ms mlgnC pc
remedied by securing access to new
areas of production. Railroad IA
cilities must grow if the commerce
of the country is to grow, and all men
of affairs recognize that this requires
constant influx of new money"
Railroad regulation, he held, '1is
the result of a spirit of anger that
grew out of real or fancied abuses in
the past" Thorn contended that the
time has come ''for the proper ele-
ment of heIpfulness to be introduced
into the system"
Railroad regulation is a permanent
part of the American government, he
said, and the railroads realize that
their first duty is to the public.'
Adequacy Of facilities rather than
cost is a primary public considera-
ton, he declared, pointing to the
