Frank Rockefeller was a brother of

associated with them in the oil bust

they.
Born in Richford, n. Y, in 1916, he
was the youngest of the three Rookie

became identified with them, serving
for time as one of the vice-presi-

wealth, but relations with his broth

business connections with them. In

raising, purchasing 10000 acres at

WILL RETAIN THEIR
HOMESTEAD RIGHTS

Those who have taken up home
steads under federal regulation will
not lose their rights to the home
steads if they enlist in the army or

rights as time in the army or navy

cause n number of inquiries to be
made of local attorneys in regard to
the matter. 4 resolution adopted by
congress and signed by President
William Mckinley at the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war gives to
the president the power to suspend
the operation of the homestead laws
in time OF war so far as those who
enlist are concerned.
The resolution states that those

companies with their forty.fve thous

companies with their forty-6ve thous-
and employees are today alingned
with the United States government
for the mobilization of troops and
| supplies, acting In concert with the
federal authorities under an arrange
ment worked out by a committee of
railroad executives.
President Sproule has named G. F..
Richardson, Southern Pacific super
intendent OF transportation, as his
personal representative and assistant
in the work of handling government
work in the western district.
Some time ago the American Rail-
way association appointed four com.
mittees of executives under the d.
rection of Fairfax Harrison, president
of the Southern railway. The COM
mittees represented the eastern, west
ern, Southern and Central parts OF
the country-William Sproule, presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific company
is chairman of the western department
with E. p. Ripley. president of the
Sante Fee system and J. d. Farrell,
president of the Oregon, Washington
Railway and Navigation company, as
associates. L. T. Loree is chairman
of the eastern department, II. II. Ash
ton in charge of the central depart
ment and w. B. Scott chairman OF the
southern division. Each chairman has
associates representing all the lines
in his territory.
The experience of the roads in the
Mexican expedition last summer has
given the railroad officials an indica-
ton of the requirements of the coun-
try in time of war. The movement of
| 100000 men, with attendant fuoG sup
plies, artillery, horses, motor trucks
tents and other equipment was han,
died with dispatch by the carriers.
Since that time the lessons of the mo,
bilization have been studied by the
executives with view to just such
a crisis as now confronts them.
The Southern Pacific company
which handles the burden of traffic
from the western district to and
from the border has made all arrange
ments for duplicating the feat on {
larger and more expeditions scale.
With wage controversies no longel
a disturbing factor, the railroads ar,
in better condition to meet TIL
strain of the war than they woul,
have been n month ago. With tn
approach of the warm weather, con
gestion has disappeared to a grea
extent and the rules they hav
adopted are showing good results.
To further the cooperation betweel
government and railroad authorities
the transportation executives hav
detailed special corps of their men t
work with army officials at all import
ant centers of mobilization, and
will be the duty of these men to assis
in working out all problems of trans
portation that come before mllitar
chiefs.

WHAT PRESIDENT
WILSON SAID

The president makes 1t very plain
that we have no feeling of enmity
against the people of Germany and
will make no war upon them, but
only against the militarism which has
long held Germany in subjection;
against an irresponsible government
which has thrown aside all considera-
tons of humanity and of right and
Ia running amuck." We are, says the
president, sincere friends of the Ger
man people and shall desire nothing
SO much as the early re-establishment
of intimate relations of mutual ad.
vantage between us. I'VE have borne
with their present government through
all these bitter months because of that
friendship. exercising n patience and
forbearance which would otherwise
have been impossible. We shall hap.
PLY still have an opportunity to prove
that friendship in our daily attitude
towards the millions of men and
women of foreign birth and native
sympathy who live among us and
share our life, and we shall be proud
to prove It toward all who are in fact
loyal to their neighbors and to the
government In the hour of test"
There can be perfectly natural ma.
tional sympathies without divided ma
tlonal allegiance; we can heartily
sympathizo with the peculiar situation
In which some Of our loyal citizens
ind themselves and we should be con.
sidcrate of them; but, as the president
says, disloyalty will be dealt with with
firm hand OF STERN repression. The
safety and security of the country re-
quIre that this should be and must be.
With the German people OF our own
land or OF the fatherland we have
only kindly sympathy. Our quarrel
IN with the Prusslan dynasty that
President Wilson says has thrown
aside all consideration OF humanity
md is running amuolt"--san Antonio

LEAVES FROM LAWNS
A VALUABLE fertilizer

Many tons of valuable fertilizer are
wasted every year through our prac-
tice OF raking the fallen leaves from
lawns and parks into the streets and
burning them. We destroy one of the
best of natures fertilizers, that on
which she relies for the renewal of
the vegetable humus in the soil.
All natures protection is removed in
the interests of tidiness. Then we won
der why lawns must be so frequently
resodded and why grass seed won't
catch" The fallen leaves protect the
roots of grass and shrubs from the
freezing and thawing of winter and
deposited in corner of the back yard
with little earth thrown over them to
prevent their blowing away, in a year
or two are converted into what the
forester calls duff" on organic ma
terial which makes the loan that
grows the farmers best crops.
1t is an excellent top dressing for
the lawn and enrichment for flowers
and shrubs and, mixed with a little
ordinary earth, a most desirable soil
for filling the window boxes and re-
potting plants, something hard TO get
in town. 1t is invaluable to the anna
tuer gardener, who utilities his back
yard. and yet is almost invariably
wasted. We pay thousands of dollars
every year for phosphates and nitrates
and overlook this valuable product of
natures laboratory.
