THE PROFESSOR AND THE PIG

What we eat comes from sunshine earth and air. Only one of these clements costs anything, and it supplies less than either of the others toward costly nourshment Rain, the precious solvent, nues to descend, alike the just and the unjust without entailing a penny of expense.
 Nature takes her time in the manufacture of food stuff, and requires much for her processes. So Harvard professor is plotting to improve on the methods of food production which have prevailed our planet for several millions of years.
 Dr. Winthrop John vanlenven Osterhout Ph D. head of the botany department, has assembled air and sunshine, together with a few earthly deriva- lives and rain water, and from them generated the essentials of human diet.
 Iron rust exposed to the rays of the sun through water throws off formaldehyde. Certain forms of sugar obtained from this chemical.
 Carbon dioxide and ammonia, both of which are found in the air. be combined with water to pro. duce protein.
 From sugar and protein, fat be made.
 Protein and fat are sufficient to support life, Sugar is something of luxury.
 Dr. Osterhout has evolved a short cut but tha food materials he has manufactured cost more than the most brazen profiteer would dare to charge The professor makes promises but reminds us that for long time electricity was nothing more than scientific playthng.
 You may let your imagination wander as far as it likes into the future with the results of these Harvard experiments.
 But while the laboratories of man are snatehine at the secrets of nature other laboratories are ob- scurey turning table necessities at the usal rate
 Corn is ripe through the joint efforts of Farmer Brown and Mother Nature during long, hot sum. 
 cynical pig in Farmer Browns barnyard is perfectly willing to turn the corn into fat and tein for us.
 All praise to the professors in their campa;pn for painless grocery bills, but for the present we must continue to place our full faith in laboratories the pig.

HOW PLANTS TRAVEL

crowded out every other kind.
 From Illinois to the foothills of the Rocky mountains stretched the largest grassy meadows of the world, known as the prairies.
 'The question why these great fer tile regions remained treeless is not easily answered. Over a part of the prairies the rainfall is insufficient to meet the great need of trees for water. Nearly all the prairie grasses and flowers are perennials, well fitted to resist annual or occasional severe droughts. Nor could millions of graz ing buffaloes and the fires started by lightning or by primitive man harm the underground root stock of these plants. To seeding trees, however, q fire means almost certain destruction.
 Leaving out of consideration here the rather complex problem of plant distribution over the Black Hills, the Rocky mountains and the great basin we reach the Sierra, the Olympic and the Cascade mountains, the grandest and most remarkable forest of the world, which stretches from California northward to the limit of trees in Alaska, through more than two thou sand miles of latitude.
 | From California to Puget Sound is a forest of enormous redwoods, yellow pines, Douglas frs, western hemlocb and other evergreens, including the re- markable isolated groves of giant SC. quoias containing trees of almost in credible size and age. And not only the great sequoias, but also the red woods and frs are giants, often reach ing height of two hundred to three hundred feet. In these forests tn, little Douglas squirrel and number of small birds live permanently in tn, tree tops and can only be studied through telescopes
 "In extent, in density, in the kind. and size of their trees, these forests have no rivals on our planet.
 "The length of life among plants va ries even more than among animals
 "The edible inky mushroom pro duces it's umbrella shaped column over night. A few days later tn whole plant has deliquesced into patch of black ink and within weel not a trace is left of it's existence.

Opportunity Retires Today

This is the last day of the intensive campaign for membership of the Roosevelt Memorial Associa- tion- It is not the end, of of opportunity to join association, but after today the opportunity win not be presented; it will have to be sought
 Until tonight it will be at the door of every home in the valley the door of home in this broad for Americanism.
 It is as we have taken pains time after time to explain not a money raising movement. That is only incidental those in charge value names much more highly than they do the money subscriptions which accompany them. Many names with a small aggregate of money much more highly esteemed, than a few names with a much larger aggregate.
 Money means only that a memorial. that is physical memorial will be erected to Theodore Roose welt Many names mean that his principles be- ing cherished by the people and that they will become the principles of other generations; that the foun dation of our national life will be laid upon rock rather than upon the shifting sands which have lately threatened to engulf Americanism
 That is what this membership campaign means. It was instituted by patriotic and of both parties, of whom intimate personal friends of Thedore Roosevelt, and some of whom not, but recognized the soundness of his doctrines and the need of the country at depressing stage, of such inspiration as the life and character Roosevelt lords.
 We hope that those who have neglected to enroll themselves in the membership of the Association will do so today; that they will call at the places where enrolment may be made It has been impossible that all could be seen by the campaigners.

Eoreiqn Labor

Reports of strike disorders from different parts of the country where attacks made upon worzmen almost invariably mention that the disturbers are foreigners. They usually armed with or less offensive weapons and do not hesitate to use them training. They came from countries where rioters are shot down like dogs by armed troops. Amer jeans a rule do not resist constituted authority
 It is useless now to fix the blame for the pres ence of the foreigners That is not the problem. Of course they brought here, their bringing was encouraged by large employers, mining operators and manufacturers. It a foolish and shortsighted thing for them to do Seeing the rising strength of organized labor these employers believed they could break it by the importation of foreign labor which not organized It is strange that the employers organized and become the disturbing factor it has become.
 If no but the employers were hurt by the homng of these chickens to roost we would not worry very much But it unfortunately happens that the whole country is disturbed So it sufficient to inquire how why the foreigners came The fact that they here and the question what dispo- sition is to be made of them if they do not behave themselves.
 We think that very good thing do would be to legislation for the wholesale deportation of of the peace We may need their labor for there is
 labor shortage but if they will not only not work but persist in keeping others from working, by at- tacking American citizens who want to work their room is better than their company.

To the Editor of The Republican, O. Anv Person Concerned.

To the Editor of The Republican, or
 Any Person Concerned:
 As to the drainage question and the practicability of steam power cleo tric generator, as well as the proposed entry of the Salt River Valley Water Users association into the cement business.
 As to the latter, I am heartily in favor oa leaving the question to the board of governors, and as to the for mer, there is a question involved as to whether it is advisable to commit the governors to steam plant or leave the matter open, so that we can take advantage of water continually dropping from 1000 to S,0oO-foot level to a 1,500-foot level through all the streams flowing towards the Salt River valley.
 Having had personal contact with all these streams, both in and through their watersheds, having run levels along Oak creek from it's source into the Verde valley, I found at least fall of 200 feet per mile Fossil creek is still greater. The Salt river above the dam has a great amount of fall, so why commit ourselves to an expen- sive steam plant when cheap power from falling water can be had?
 The drainage question is the most vital of the three, having probably 10000 acres of land up for drainage having valuation of at present ap- proximating S100 per acre of a total value of s4000,000.
 As soon as this land is properly drained it is reasonably worth S400 per acre, making the owners a neat little sum of s12,0Oo,oOO, estimating that the 10000 acres here considered as being one-fourth of the land in the valley falling under the proposed levy. We find these few water dis turbed land owners are unloading five-sixths of their debt of, say, s5,000,000, or more than s4,000,000 on the other fellow, and making a net profit of s11,000,000. Those of us out side of the menaced area occupy the same position as the Indian with a white man killed and divided a buzzard and a turkey.
 Now that the Tempe canal stock | holders have had vision, after grap- bling with the drainage question single handed, evidently conceive a plan to bring their 10000 acres of water menaced land into the project and by joining their strength with the 40,000 acres aforementioned, intend to vote the drainage scheme through. It was ever thus. It takes, however a majority of the stockholders in any corporation to manage the corporation whether for the good of the majority r or for it's destruction.
 How many railroad mines and stock companies have been ruined for the minority stockholder. It was J Gould's favorite scheme to buy up a controlling interest in railroad and then heap up debts and pay ruinous salaries and run the railroad behind until the minority shareholders were frozen out
 When this occurred, the road imme- diately became profitable investment until another crop of suckers were caught.
 The burning question is. in thi; case, who is going to be the sucker?

By Edmund Vance Cooke The doctors car was parked beside The door of neighbor Jones. I phoned at once and he replied In genial jovial tones: "oh, all is well with us. Why not? There's not an i'll to blight us. We find our daughter hasn't got
 Acute appendicitis. 'Orr sons condition all last year
 Did, as you know, alright us, But now, we're sure we need not fear Tubercular bronchitis. My aged father feels so well
 His spirits quite delight us, Though he was threatened for spell With-let's see-per -toaitis. "We1l soon be such hardy lot
 That no disease will bite us; Aunt Cynthia has quite forgot
 She ever had gastritis. "So all bad luck has passed us by,
 And germs all seem to slight us. We're feeling fine. Why even
 Hove last all my nephritis. "So now there's not a cloud in life;
 All sweetness and no acid; I was just saying to my wife
 We never were so placid. Could we come out to dinner? Oh, It's bully to invite us, But wife can't speak word, you know; She's got the laryngitis!!

The Coal Strike

It will take all the firmness set out in the state ment of the president avert the consequences of the threatened strike. How strike itself is Ito be averted by force cannot conceive but we can easily how the government may keep the mines open and let such work want to work. Undoubtedly that will be done, for imagine that many of the miners will go out unwillingly and many more would be quickly driven by necessity to some sort of employment In these times of the rec ord cost of living there comparatively few who can live long without work Coal miners, as a rule are not forehanded and would be unable to maintain ldleness for long period
 And it being settled that they will have to have employment of kind, there will be little for them or any others engaged in industrial pursuits to do with the coal mines idle Coal is the life blood of the industrial world
 Sc we think that in very short time after the inaSguration of the strike there will plenty of men who win want work in the mines It will only be necessary for the government to exercise as much force as may be required to that workers are not disturbed and that the coal carrying roads are kept open
 la tf The government which has unntentionally en- couraxcd these encroachments may with great dis
 taste to the of force but it must do it if it xishes to avoid industrial revolution. Now we nve peyer entertained fear that an industrial revo ntion m this country might be successful but we see low were allowed for appreciable time to run without Interruption 1t might become very disturb

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-The ways in which plants travel about the world, getting into all sorts of situa- tions where you would not expect to find them, is one of the phases of plant life which still puzzles scien- lists.
 A special study of plant travels has been made by D. Lange, a well-known botanist, who recently visited the American Forestry association. In his study of plants, MT. Lange has been in almost every part of the world. He has made especially valuable observa- tions of the various methods of seed distribution, and has added a num- Der of new paints to the worlds list.
 About a quarter of a million differ ent kinds of plants are now known co science, MT. Lange says. The identi- fication of this enormous number rep resents the labor of thousands of sci entists. In the days of Linnaeus but ten thousand varieties had been iden- tified.
 MT. Lange thinks of the world as a great garden of plants. He describes America vividly in terms of its plant life. Did you ever think of it that way?
 Before white men found America, said MT. Lange, ''the eastern half oi the continent was one great forest ot hardwoods, centering in the Ohio val ley.
 This forest consisted of an asso- citation of many species, and il stretched almost without a break from the Atlantic coast to western Mime. sota.
 North of this broad -leaved fores extended a belt of evergreens to tht limit of trees into subarctic regions and westward to the treeless plains In it's southern region the white ant Norway pines were the dominan trees. They grew taller and livet longer than any other species, ant where fires or storms had not inter fered for a century or two they ha,

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
THE STEAM PLANT DEAL

To the Editor of The Republican:
 The construction of steam plant by the water users under existing con- ditions such as a reserve plant, seems obviously a bad business propo- sition; that the more it is analysed, the worse it becomes. The prosperity of this whole valley depends upon the prosperity of the farmer, and if the Water Users association follows a policy which is certain to cause big financial loss to the association, this failure will be at once reflected in the pocketbook of the farmer and the prosperity of the valley.
 We have no interest in building power system to provide cheap power to the mines of this state. They can well afford to take care of themselves. We generate electricity as a by product of our irrigation system. We must not waste water to generate electricity, nor must we operate steam plants at loss to provide power for others. Everyone is agreed on the above points.
 In the letter recently issued to the association shareholders it is stated that by the installation of a steam plant the gross revenues of the asso- citation can be increased from s410,000 to S085,000, or an increase of S175,000 per year. This is all a wild guess, but even if these widest dreams are true, what will be the cost of increas- ing this revenue? The interest, in surance, depreciation fund and repairs on this plant, costing s60o,O00, will be at least IA per cent of the cost, or $64,000 year. If the plant is to gen. crate electricity for part of four months, it win cost a minimum of 1K cents and an average of IF cents per k. ". for fuel, and this will be $105,000 for the generation of only seven mill ion k. W. hours, which represents only one-half load on the steam plant for four months. The total cost, even without labor, is seen to be at least S169,O0O, which leaves no profits and means that if the steam plant is to be paid for in ten years it will have to be done by assessment of the share holders. Unless the wild dreams of increased revenues are actually real ized, it will also mean a continued heavy loss in the operation of the plant.
 There is a big nigger, and a we'll hidden one somewhere in this steam plant deal.
