KANSAS SELLING HOGS.
DiSposing of Swine Because of Poor
Prospects For Good Corn Crop.

With prospects of a profitable corn
crop in Kansas on the wane, hog
raisers Of that state are seeking a
market for their stock other than
that of the pork packers.
A R. Corey, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, has received an
appeal from ]. c. Mohler, secretary
of the Kansas state board, requesting
the names of Iowa farmers and stock
men who will buy Kansas hogs.
Because of poor crop prospects for
corn and the small amount of Old
corn on hand, Mr.. Mohler wrote,
many of our hog raisers are seeking
a way to sell their pigs without send
ing them to market"
Secretary Corey has sent Secretary
Mohler the names of more than $50
stockmen who are raisers of swine.

ROB PUBLIC ON GLASS JARS.
Department of Agriculture Ascer-
tains Neither Manufacturer
nor JObber Raised
Price.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Telegra-
phic reports to the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, today indicate that retail deal
ers in many localities are advancing
prices on glass jars for canning and
preserving. This advance apparently
dates from the beginning of the
emergency campaign for the preser-
walton of perisha bic fruits and vege-
tables.
Representative of the glass jar
manufacturers stated, il confer
ence held at the department on July
II, that there is no shortage in glass
jars. One declared:
I'VE have not received enough or
ders to take care of our daily capaci-
ty, and have even offered to sell job
bers jars on consignment, to be paid
for as sold.
I'VE have sold to the jobbers their
usual supply, what they usually pur-
chase in year. They have sod to
the merchants the usual supply and
they are not ordering any more until
they begin to sell and reduce the
stock on hand. BY the middle of Aug
ust we should begin to ship very
freely for the fall trade"

Bows Clean I'd Roads.

If there are mothers who have sons
anxious to become -highwaymen, let
them follow the example of the order
of the Modern Highwaymen of
America" unique organization of
boys at Fayette, Iowa. No order of
highwaymen is more popular than
this small but efficient club, which
has made a statewide name for it
self.
Thirteen boys, divided in to gangs
of six and seven members, are enroll
ed in this unusual but highly profit
able organization. The club has a
three-fold object-the improvement
of the highways, the inspiring of
habits of industry and the providing
OF long automobile trips about the
State for the members. 1t was organ
lied some months ago by an attorney
interested in finding some work for
Idle hands to do, becoming a reality
when he suggested that he would see

cepted by the original thirteen, rang

who began the work of cleaning up
the roads for miles around at ten
cents an hour, payable in automobile
rides charged at the rate of fifteen
dollars day for each car.

CONSUMPTION OF LABOR IN
SIGHT NOW

Washington, December 11-Labor
CONSUMPTION to prevent interference
with war work is regarded as unnec-
cessary by James Wilson, secretary
of labor, in his annual report sent
to Congress today.
Nothing Sudden and energetic"
increase in the number of labor dis
putes with the beginning of the war;
the secretary blamed most labor
lawlessness on employers who per-
NIT organization by their workmen
only on the pain of dismissal" Will
son Endorsed aborSanions.
But should labor CONSUMPTION final
ly become necessary he declared in
favor of making such workers gov
eminent employees rather than COM
polling them to work "for private
profit"
by simple and fair systems of col
lective bargaining between the gov
eminent labor organizations and
business organizations labor disputes
(prejudicial to an effective prosecution
of the war can be eliminated prompt
ly, said Wilson.
Mother in industry received spe-
cial mention, the secretary favor
ing pensions and allowances rather
than permit the increased iLfant NOR
tality which follows employment of
nursing mothers away from their in
fants."
Recommendation we're renewed for
old-age pensions for government EN-
ployees and colonization land grants
for soldiers and wage earners in
general"
Wilson praised the new immigra-
ton law, containing the literacy tests
as an eminently satisfactory law des-
tined to be of great benefit to the
country.
'The tests showed 4.3 per cent IL
literacy," he said.
Total immigration was 362,S77, a
decrease of per cent from the last
year.

ARMY DELAYS Is THREATENED

Washington, December 11-Delays
in construction Of cantonments, diff
ficulties in arranging transportation
for men and supplies and in Or
ganizing the work in the training
camps, have so hampered the move
ment of the men in the first select
i've service army that today, eight
months after the declaration of war,
only about rs per cent Of the first
army Is under training.
AS result, considerable confu-
sion has arisen as to the status Of
the remaining rs per cent already
drawn and designated !, for service
who are not yet in camp.
In some districts, however. the full
quota is N service, as in all Of Ohio,
where the men have been sent to
Camp Sherman.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
hopes the full quota in all districts
may be sent to camp before December
10. in order that there may be no ap.

tens.

GUARANTEED DIVIDENDS"

The principle of profit is essential to promote industry and trade.
 But the idea of making "guaran- teed profits" d sort of fixed charge is entirely another matter.
 For instance: The Indiana Union Traction company, operating an cX- tsnsivc system of interurbans out of Indianapolis, asked the state public service commission for permission to increase fares, claiming that $935 ,00O yearly interest on bonds and guaran teed dividends had to be paid. The company said it was proper to charge this money to operating expenses.
 Considerable debate has ensued in financial circles regarding this thew principle cf high finance. The service commission, 1t seems, is inclined to stick to tine hide bound conviction that the rights of the public comes ahead of the rights of the stockholders, and that profit dces not beg.n until ads qaate service ends.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
 RAILROADS.

While some are inclined to doubt that the transportation situation in the United States will be improved by government control of the rail- roads, it must be evident to all that there are great possibilities for ef- fecting economies and increasing ef- ficiency by the operation of all the railroads as one system. Under gov ernment control it will be possible to send cars where they arc most need ed, eliminate much clerical work, and abolish some big paying jobs.
 "It was necessary for something to be done,' says the Memphis Conner cial Appeal, which continues;
 Secretary McAdoo, the strong man of the cabinet, the man of intelligence, the man of courage and lightning de- cison, is peculiarly fitted for the work, not only because of his general qualifications, but because he has been a railroad builder and a railroad iinancier.
 "The situation leading to the gov ernment control is not the fault of the railroads, but it is the result of short sightedncss, both of the people and politicians.
 "The railways of the United States have to answer to bosses in every state and to bosses in Washington.
 "lt is said in Holy Writ that no man can serve two masters.
 Glow, then, can the railroads serve l9 masters?
 ''lf there were 1000 carloads of freight to go from Memphis to St, Louis. under the present system, and the Illinois Central, the Louisville X Nashville. the Frisco and the Iron Mountain should agree to prorate this tonnage, each line to take so many eais, those making this agreement would be dangerously near indict- nient.

He accepted the legacy. had the skin removed from her shoulder, and used it for binding of a copy of one of his own books which had been the dead girls favOritc among his writings.
