ADVENT OF WOMEN
into POLITICS IS
SPLENDID THING

Senator Irving l.. Lenroot, repub.
lican, of Wisconsin, has introduced a
measure providing for unification of
the railroads of the country into one
privately owned system with earnings
guaranteed, the management shared
by the security holders, public and
employees, and with provision for shar.
ing excess profits between the public,
the employees and the government.
Under the proposed plan the man,
agement, while private, would be un-
der the supervision of the interstate
commerce commission, but conducted
by board of directors appointed by
the president and confirmed by the
senate, consisting of two employees:
two representing commerce, industry
and shippers as represented by the
United States Chamber of Commerce:
two farmers, three security holders
and one each from the interstate com.
merce commission and the state rail
way commissions Dividends of per
cent would be guaranteed by the gov
ernment on all stock issued, but must
have the approval of the interstate
commerce commission. In distribut-
ing the earnings a maximum dividend
of per cent would be fixed for new
stock, while 40 per cent would be paid

BOY SCOUT. TROOP
WORTHY OF SUPPORT

Did you ever find yourself thinking
about the good times you had when
you were boy? An ideal swimming
hole, place to fish, just lots of small
game, or maybe, it was gathering
pecans in the fall, hunting persimmons
and climbing for mustang grapes. Pos
sibly, long hill, a good snow ano
a splendid sled; all depending upon
the locality in which you lived. How
forcibly we are reminded of these
things we did in those days when we
seek recreation in the open, in our
immediate vicinity, today. Then We
wonder what a boy finds to amuse him
here. To be brief, there is little.
There is no reason why a boy in
Ray should be deprived of all that
goes to make food for pleasant recol-
lections in time to come.
The Scout work takes the boy in his
idle moments and teaches him to
make the best of what may be his lot
and to really enjoy it. He is taught d
code of morals that interferes with
no religion, but will make him better,
regardless of his creed. He is ini-
tiated into all of the mysteries of the
great outdoors and around these his
games are played in such d way as to
bring his every faculty into play. Even
the sciences are simplified for his un-
derstanding and made to serve him
for pleasure and profit.
The greatest men of America and
Europe have come TO, realize that it is
upon superior men they must depend
for a superior nation, consequently
they have combined their efforts to
make the boy more efficient by show.
ing him how to enjoy himself and at
the same time learn things that can.
not be taught in the schoolroom.
The Scout troop in Ray does not
contemplate the reformation of incor-
rigibles but it does stand in readiness
to take the live boy who is just at
the age where he wants to be doing
something, but lacks initiative, and
show him how to employ his time in
such a manner as to make him vat-
liable asset TO any community.

A WORD To THOSE
Who MOTOR OVER
OUR MAIN STREET

If you live in Ray and drive an au-
tomoEile, we desire to have a little
heart-to-heart talk with you. You know
there is but one highway in these parts
and most of the road is pretty rough.
However, there is a stretch of smooth
road between the court house and the
Ray Consolidated Copper company's
offices. Of course, you know about
that, else we would not be writing
this article. You not only know that
there are no other roads for you to
travel over but, by the same token,
there are no other roads for pedes-
trians to walk upon. And those of us
who are less fortunate than our broth
ers who ride in automobiles desire to
call your attention to the fact that as
pedestrians we enjoy almost the same
rights you have. You don't need to
chase us off the road entirely, and
you don't need to step on your accel-
orator every time you drive over that
road so the speedometer registers
forty-fve miles an hour. Most of you
don't even blow the horn That's
pretty dusty road, and when you go
speeding along at forty-fve miles an
hour with the muffler open, it makes
i; pretty disagreeable for those of us
who walk
Play the game and manifest a lit
tie consideration for the pedestrians.
l. may be that one of these days you
won't re able to own car and you,
too, will have to walk Maybe some
OF us who now walk will be riding,
but We'll pick you Hp and help you
along, for mans inhumanity to man
makes countless thousands mourn.

Cuba Prospered More
Than Other Countries
As Result of the War

Cuba prospered more than any other
country as a result of the war, according to
pamphlet entitled the Island of Prosper
ity," now being distributed by the Mer-
c3ntie Bank of the Americas, IL Pine street,
New York.
During the four years the struggle lasted,
Cuba prospered perhaps more than any other
country. Her exports increased to over
$3.50 600, 600 Q917.) At the same time her
purchases abroad amounted to $260,000, 900,
or just double her previous imports.
statistics for 1918 are not vet COM
Lleted, but from present indications it is
safe to estimate her exports at 1915 200, 600
which is the islands foreign purchasi sing
power today. 1t is expected that in 1919
the S4OO, 900, 900 mark will be reached.
THE population of Cuba is not quite
!, 000, 900. Therefore the expectation of
1915, 000, 900 is an average of 1925 per cap
est country, were to export $125 worth of
goods for each of it's 100, 600 inhabitants,
our exports would total $4,000. 900, 600 as
against the actual expectation of little
over half of that amount or $4,000, 900 600
ir, our record year of 1917. Cuba's export
ing power is, therefore just double our own.
And yet the island has not reached any
forty-four thousand square miles there are
still opportunities for augmentng produc-
ton to more than double the present figure.
''0f the $500, 600, 900 of foreign purchases,
Cuba spends nearly $225, 900, 600, or rs per

1919 WHEAT CROP
PROMISES TO BE
LARGEST YET
Total Is Estimated to Be
100000, B US h e | S
and 1t May Run Beyond
This Figure

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The
total spring and winter wheat crop
grown by the American farmer this
year promises to be. the greatest
produced by any nation in the worlds
history, agriculture department fig
ures showed today.
To the estimated winter yield of
S37 100000 bushels announced d week
ago, department estimates on the
spring wheat crop bring the total
for all wheat up to 100, 100000
bushels this year-and it may run
beyond this figure.
The only crops ever apprOXimating
this were the 1913 winter yield in
Russia of $685. 100000 bushels and a
single billion busheI yield in the
United States.
The promised 1919 yield with the
guaranteed price of $2.26 per bushel
fixed by the government, means
return of approximately $4,000, 900,
600 to the farmer. Should the price
of wheat drop, it is pointed out the
government would have a big sum
to make up.
Little likelihood, however, is seen
for such a drop this year. Russian
production which in years past has
been about the same as the United
States does not now figure in the
world market. Hence the worlds
supply will still be far short of needs
until Russia resumes it's former
place as a wheat-producing nation.
Another factor which officials here
say will tend to prevent a drop in
wheat quotations is the cheapening
Of money in every part of the world
The dollar, for example, is worth
only half as much as it was in 1913.
according to government statistics,
and the pound. franc and lire have
dropped as much or more in value.
Therefore, officials are confident the
government will not be obliged to buy
millions of bushels of wheat at a
loss.
