Garrison Independent

A very successful Illinois farm
er who visited in this section Of
the state for several days mar
veled at the possibilities in farm!
ing and stock raising. Naturally
he compared methods of farming
in Illinois with those practiced
by North Dakotans and he point
el out what he considered some
mistakes among our North Da-i
kota farmers. For Instance, the
average North Dakotan does not
pay enough attention to manur-
ing his land. He knows he has
the most fertile soil on earth and,
that it will continue to produce
big crops for a good many years,
to come. The Illinois farmer Of
forty years ago thought his sDil.
could nevers wear ont, but il did,
and the farmers had a hard time
getting back It's fertility by,
means Of manurng the soal ana,
growing clover, sweet clover
and alfalfa. He considers that,
every load Of manure he can
spread on his illinois farm is
worth five dollars and it ought
to be worth just as much in,
North Dakota. The Illinois
farmer who would be caught,
burning his straw would be. up
Before the insanity board or
else shot at sunrise. According
to this man s ideas, the North,
Dakota farmers cannot be in
too big hurry to place a hog
tight fence around their farms,
Thousands Of dollars worth of
grain in the district that was
hailed out this year will be lost
for want of fences, which would,
have provided pastures for hogs
sheep and other stock that ought
Ito be turned in to pick up the,
Valuable grain.

ARE WELL PAID LABOR
No Other Glass of Labor as.
Wall Paid as Engineers
and Conductors.

SlasOn Thompson, director OF
the bureau of railway news
and statistics, got out his re-
cords yesterday and elaborated
on the offhand figures given out
by President Ripley Of the Santa
Fe on the wages and working
hours of the railroad brother
hoods, just before he left for
Washington at the call of Presi-
dent Wilson.
"What do these men who are
threatening strike actually.earn.
and how many hours do they
have to work a Cay to earn their
wages?" he said. "We have the:
figures, the authenticated pay
roll figures Of western railroads
making up the territory west Of
the Mississippi river for a typi-
cal month for the answers.
Here are the data:
"All engineers earned $l49.6l
each per month.
"The earnings OF all firemen
averaged $84.34 each per month.
"The average engineer work
ed 22.2 days Of 1O.5 hours per
month, for ga cents per hour, or
1913 per day.
"The average fireman work
ed 1913 days of 1O.5. hours per
month, for Al cents an hour, Or
1927 per day. -
Engineers in passenger SER
vice, excluding. those not avail
able for duty and extra men,
earned on an average $7.68 a day
of IL hours, and $18O.75 per
month, for 235 days.
Engineers in through or ir-
regular freight service averaged
$7.37 a day Of Ill hours, and;
$164.93 a month, for 22.4 days.
Those in local or way freight
service averaged $7.15 day of
IL hours and $l68.11 a month,
for 23.5 days.
The firemen in passenger ser
vice averaged $4.88 a day Of rs
hours and $113.66 month, for
1913 days.
Firemen in through or irreg-
alar freight service averaged $4.-
80 day Of IL hours and $1O5.59
month, for ~ days"
Mr.. Thompson turned to sta
tistics gathered from the 1912
payrolls Of the eastern lines,
SINCE which time, he said, there
had been a futhar increase Of
about z per cent to prove his
figures about the conductors and
trainmen.
ACCORDING to the 1912 pay
rolls he declared, ''the 1875
men working entirely as COM
lductors received an average Of
81, 1856 for the year. The maxi
mum was $2Q28.79. In passen-
ger service the average was ST.
500 and the maximum was $2,-
O46.21. In freight service the
average was $l,299 and the
maximum was $1,915.77. In yard
service the average was 81 1926
and the maximum 1,745.8O.
"Other trainmen, a total Of
28,l75 men, averaged $957 for
the year, and the highest pay
was $1,798. In passenger SER
vice the average was 1886, in
freight service $3.50, and in yard
ssrvice $1,O62.
Baggage masters and flagnen
averaged $82.64 a month, flag,
men. in local freight service
1895, and flagmen in through
and miscellaneous service $8O.23.'
'Brakemen averaged, $76.18 q
month and all who worked over
20 days a month averaged $89.-
o." !,
"The railroads have. already
charted out the working hours
and wages Of trainmen," he
continued, citing the following
figures in hours which he states
have also been taken directly
from the actual payrolls Of east
ern lines in 1912:

the extreme tendencies of those who
would place US on a war footing and
the advocates of peace at any price.
Senator Burton has no sympathy with
preparation for offensive warfare. He
believes in such degree of prepared
ness as is essential to our national de-
tense, and opposes the creation of a
military spirit which shall dominate
all the affairs of our national life. He
advocates the enlargement of a regu-
lar army and the reorganization and
development of the national guard as
an effective adjunct to our regular mil
itary establishment. He also lays
stress upon the need for available Of
ficers, thoroughly trained in the theo-
ry and practice Of warfare. For this
reason he advocates charging the mil
itary and naval academies at Annapo-
lis and West Point, although there Is
much opposition to such course.
Burton's attitude is of particular in
terest because he is president Of the
American Peace society. While he ad-
vocates a proper system OF prepared
ness he has not lost sight Of the ulti-
mate ideal in the settlement of inter-
national disputes by judicial methods.
But however varied the views OF
preparedness leaders, none have lost
sight of the more practical question
that the United States must be pre-
pared to defend itself against agrees
sion from any source.
