A Pinch i'm
Coal.

At the beginning of November a
manufacturing concern was paying
six dollars a ton for soft coal that
had cost dollar and a half ton a
few months before, and could get so
little, even at six dollars, that it
might be compelled to shut it's plant.
One day Cleveland got ninety cars
of coal in lieu of its usual allotment
of some seven hundred. Various in
dustrial centers were talking about
coal famine.
There was supply of coal at the
mines; but the railroads, with over
burdened equipment, could not move
1t as usual. The roads are prosper
ing just now. Gross revenues in the
year ending June thirtieth were
about three and a half billion dollars
and net, after paying a hundred and
nifty million dollars in taxes, exceed
ed one billion. So they can order
equipment on a liberal scale, and
are doing it. But prices are high and
plants busy. 1t will be good while
before equipment ordered now is in
use. And for some years the rail-
roads were not prosperous. They
had little surplus revenue to buy
equipment with; and because they
were not prosperous their credit was
low. We feel the effect of that now
in scarcity of coal and slow move
ment Of freight generally.
Even now, in the face of a billion
net last year, railroad managers and
investors in railroad securities are
wondering what the situation will
be after the boom II public regula-
ton Of railroads is applied in as
narrow and jealous a spirit as II was
for some years before the war.

when a particular rate they are in
terested in is cut down. Farmers

The prohibition subcommittee of

Judge S. Il. Thurman, one of the

get rid OF them. He expressed the
belief that in many Other American
cities the dealers find II difficult to
get rid Of large potatoes. as the
people EGreially demand a ~ -diSun-
sized one. But he has recently
learned that Canada is buying big
potatoes and paying premium for
them, and he proposes TO seek that
market with his big potatoes. On
discussion it developed that in sone
sections of the United States big
potatoes sell better than small or
medium-sized ones.
Some localities still want their po-
tatoes put up in barrels, while other
localities are demanding that the po-
tatoes sold them come in boxes. It
all depends on what buying and sell
ing habits have grown up in the diff
ferent sections. AS to the size of
the potato, the fancy of the house
wife has a cash value As to the
size OF the package, living condi-
tons cut a large figure. In places
where many of the people have cool
sellars in which vegetables can be
kept a long time, the storage of
potatoes in barrels is natural, as
barrels, on account of their shape,
can be more easily handled than ev-
en- bushel boxes. The barrel can be
rolled on its chine, while the box
has to be carried. One man can thus
more easily handle vegetables In
barrels than in boxes, though the
box contains only about one third
as much.
But living conditions in cities and
villages are tending to abolish the
cool cellar, and therefore the box
is coming more into demand. A
box OF potatoes can be eaten before
sprouting or becoming soft. Also
the fiat dweller has no room to spare
for barrel, which cannot be packed
into 80 small a space as can a box
This change in living conditions Is
largely affecting the style in which
vegetables must be put up.
This fact Is bound to affect mark
ct conditions even more strongly In

Culture.

Culture is a by-product of good
living. 1t is the deepening and wild
ening and refining and ripening of
the human soul that comes from in
telligent living, from skillful ser
vice and labor, not for selfish good
but for the good of those with
whom we associate and of all the
world. He who fails finally to at
tain it, though he may have accum-
ulated the wealth of the Indies, or
gained power or fame, has failed. He
who attains 1t Is successful in life,
though he may have gained neither
wealth nor fame nor power. Thus
culture comes from service and from
duty we'll done. 1t is the product of
unselfish, intelligent living, intelli-
gent performance of daily duties

The Sex Factor
in Murder.

Chicago just now is following
with much interest the trial of
woman there for the alleged murder
of her husband. In the last few
years nearly score Of wives in that
city have answered similar charges
in court. Not one Of them was found
guilty. although the damning evil
dence in some of the cases seemed
complete. AS a result of the long
monotonous series of verdicts of
mot guilty" prosecuting attorneys
have almost given up hope of find
ing male jury that will convict a
wife of numbering her legal spouse.
1t has mattered not what flaws in
the characters of the defendant were
laid bare, what motives were estab-
lished, or how nearly perfect was
the chain of convicting evidence; al
ways 1t was the same story-acquit-
tai. 1t has come, therefore, to be a
trite saying in Chicago that no wo-
man need fear the machinery of JUS
tice IL she should execute a wish to
rid herself of an unloved husband
by violent means.
1t appeared there was in the male
juries enough sentiment or chivalry,
or something akin thereto, to defeat
the plain ends of justice. Some of
the prosecutors have said they
would rather rest their cases with
juries of women, on the theory that
women would be much less prone to
consider the accident of sex. and. by
like token, more disposed to return
verdicts in accordance with the
plain preponderance of evidence
That there is merit in this theory
seems to have been demonstrated in
various trials in California wherein
women served as jurors

dency to the opposite direction from
that now prevailing.
At the convention mentioned, 1t
was urged that every raiser Of veg
etables, before beginning to ship
vegetables to any city market, should
first ascertain what the require
ments of that market are. If he has
a lot Of large potatoes to sell and
finds that they are at discount
in the market to which he intends
to ship, then he should investigate
other markets before doing his ship
ping. What is true of potatoes is
also true of many other things ship
ped in from the farm. A vegetable
grower must educate himself on the
market demands If he would sell to
advantage.
Also, markets often change their
fancies, and some vegetables and
fruit growers do not learn soon
enough of this change in demand.
One instance of this is seen in the
New York City demand for New
Jersey peaches. The New York mar
ket has in the past been receiving
these New Jersey peaches in bask-
cts. During the past few years,
however, peach growers in other
