That many farmers in the United States have been making a living at a loss, seems like a most anomalous assertion, until the explanation is re- ceived. When land is cropped, year after year, without any plant food be- ing restored, it gradually becomes so impoverished that almost nothing will grow on it. This may go on for years and the farmer seem reasonably pros porous. In the end, though, the farmer has to move. as a matter of course, and one more is added to the list of rundown and abandoned farms. Most often these are tenant farms. as re- ports. official and otherwise, show If the government, in providing for its soldiers, can cause a larger proportion of the farms of the country to be owned by those who work them, a momentous reform will have been set under way.

Mocenigo is a masterpiece executed by the family LOmbIrdO, who created so many jewels of the Renaissance in Venice, such as the stairway of the giants in the DOges Palace, and the Church of St Maria dei MiracOll in Venice. The several statues repre- sent the virtues of the man and the saints to whom he was specially de- voted and it is interesting to consider how different was the feeling and the expression of the times two centuries later-fOr instance. the magnificent monument to the Doge Valier in the

ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL

The other night the editor of the Citizen had occasion to go to Phoenix and planned to leave on the Douglas Phoenix sleeper, departing at 2:40 a m. On calling up the station, he was advised that there were two No Ss that night, that one would arrive at 11:3O D. m. and the other at 5:3U a. m and that the Douglas sleeper would probably be on the first No. 3, although definite information could be obtained at the Fl Paso & South western. Several calls over the tele- phone finally resulted in getting the operator at the Southwestern, who said that while they did not have posi- tive information, they thought that the sleeper would be on the first No. 5 at 11:30 p. m. So the editor rushed to the station for it was then near train time, according to the bulletins. After waiting an hour, first No. 3 finally came along, but there was no Douglas Phoenix sleeper. Neither the Southern Pacific nor the Southwestern had been advised as to which train would carry it, but now, it would cer- tainly be on second No. 5, which was due at 5:SO a. m.
 On telephoning to the Southern Pa cific at a. m. the editor was ad- vised that the train would certainly be in at 5:30 but on reaching the sta tion and asking the dispatcher. he was advised that it would not be in until 6:30 When it had not come at 6:45 the agent at the Southern Pa cific telephoned the Southwestern de- pot and was advised that the train had left the junction about two miles out. It did not arrive until 7:15.
 The fact that the company officials knew all along that it would not be in until about that hour was evidenced by the fact that the train crew was called for 6:55 a. m.
 This is only a single instance, and is merely cited to show the kind of service that the railroads are render ing these days. This is not finding fault with the company because the trains are late. due to weather con ditions, but certainly they know where their trains are and can tell approxi- mately when they will arrive, but they continue to give the public lot of transformation as to the time of arrival and the patrons of the roads are wasting hour supon hours daily, waiting for trains, when they might be devoting the time to some useful oc- cupation.
 MT. McAdoo's bureau of complaints is as inefficient as the railroads under government direction. The situation has been growing worse instead of better and arrogant employees who pur- sue the public be damned" policy, are becoming more intolerable.-l Tucson Citizen.
