Legislators.

Albany, Jan. 29.-City Magistrate
Francis X. McQuade of New Y DIRK is in
Albany in the interest of the Sunday
baseball bill introduced by Assembly,
man Owen M. Herman of New York.
He said last night that he had talked
to many legislators and found that
there is less opposition to this measure
than ever before.
While Magistrate McQuade expects
considerable opposition from the rural
districts, he declared that he is rea-
sonably certain that the measure can
pass the legislature this year. He has
found a growing sentiment for 1t both
among republicans and democrats
and said that the socialists will be for
it to a man.

FOUR DEATHS BY

The industrial accident board
is now confronted with no less

settlement on which must be

the dependents of the men killed
i'm three instances funds will be
raid by the reciprocal company

killed, two were accidently so in
lumber camps. The average pay
ment that is made under the
compensation act in case of
death. TO the dependents, is
$500. The accident board, how
ever, requires surety up to $500
to cover death by accident, for
i'm many instances the compensa-
ton is that much. In other cases
it is lower than $500.
"The number of accidents re-
ported to the commission in the

existence is not as large as l had
expected" said Commissioner
Barnes, NOR is it as large as the
number reported i'm our neighbor-

pensation, however, is not car

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
FARMER


In his message of January 81
to the farmers of America,
President Wilson points out the
great governmental agencies and
Observation-Disclosures i'm the field of
agriculture.
Our department of agriculture,
he states, is the greatest practical
and scientific organization i'm the
world and its total annual budget
of four to six million dollars has
been increased during the last
four years more than y per cent.
It's staff numbers $4,000 and in-
cludes many highly trained eX-
perts. The agricultural colleges
and experimental stations of the
country have a total endowment
of plant equipment ofS172,0O0,-
600 and an annual income Of
more than S35,OOO,OOO. Ten
thousand two hundred and seven
ty-one teachers with $4,000
students, together with a vast
number receiving instruction at
their homes, evidence what is be-
ing done in the way Of agricul-
tural training, and to these may
be added the 255 men and women
working under the Smith-Lever
Act.
The banking legislation of the
last two or three years, the Presi-
oent shows, has given the farmers
access to the great lendable CAPT
tai of the country and through
the Federal Reserve banking sys-
tenn and the Farm Loan banking
system farmers can obtain the
credit, both short and long term,
to which they are entitled and
which it is imperatively necessary
should be extended to them to
enable them to perform adequate
ly the tasks which the country
now requires Of them.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as a basis Of comparison.
There was shortage of 17G,O00.0OO
bushels, or 1913 per cent. The potato
crop was only within One-third of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed n
deficit of G7.9 per cent. Her meat
herds I'm the early fan showed a short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are few OF the reasons
America must feed her associates i'm
the war They are no longer able to
feed themselves. and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat in the war.

AIR MAIL SHOWED IN?

 Now that military censorship has been removed, it may be stated that last winter successful experiments with skids fitted to machines in the rlace of wheels. No difficulty was experienced in alighting or in ascend ing from the heaviest carpet of snow.
 Lieutenant B. s. Eytinge of the Royal Air Force, who has done more winter flying than any other aviator. tells me that the pcstoffice need have no fear of blizzards keeping air post men on the ground.
 As matter of fact he said when the fast mail trains are showed m in big drifts the airmail carriers will probably be called upon to re 'icve the railroads.
 The skids we use in Canada are shaped like tobo2gan, long and wide. They slip cn the aXel like a wheel We have tail skid, in ad diti0n. which besides preventing the tail from cutting into the snow and ursetting the pane, acts as brake
 When the ground is covered with sncw it is rather difficult to judge height. Black or red strips of cloth should. therefore, be laid on the snow fo- landing marks.
 Men on airdrome or forced landine duty should be equipped with snow shoes.

 A DEBT 0F HONOR

Phoenix, Dec. 23.-''If the peo- pie of Arizona who have given pledges to buy definite quantities of War Say ings stamps during this year would all live up to those pledges Arizona as state would find it's task of meet ing it's quota for investment in these securities far easier than it is." said Harry R. Tirtle, state director for the War Savings stamps in state- ment made public today.
 Because of the epidemic of influ- enza,' continued MT. Tritle, "and the consequent fact that many of the war savings societies did not hold meetings for some weeks, scores. of secretarys of such organizations were not able to keep in touch with mem- bers to see that they did live up to their pledges and so with a number of exceptions, these societies have Jagged behind.
 "The pledges to buy certain defi- mite amounts of stamps during tine year were forwarded to Washington months ago and the government has counted upon that money. The hon. orable thing to do is to live up to the pledges thus given for on the strength of such pledges. the government has made expenditures that must be met. "We have all taken pride in the fact that the American army was the best clothed, the best fed and best equipped army in the field and now our ambition is to bring that army home when it's work is finished. It takes money to do all that-billions in money, and the war savings stamps in the aggregate bring in hundreds of millios for the cause. Because the men are not actually fighting, for which we are truly thankful at this holiday season, does not mean the cost of war is over by any means. We are still keeping millions of men in service, operating hundreds of great ships and doing scores of things that are equally necessary and ex- pensive. That is why we should Ill meet our debt of honor-our pledges to buy war savings stamps
