Mysteries Vanish

A great many years ago every
boy in the country looked on at the
the men who operated railroads
with awe and wonder. From the
president of the road down to the
youngest freight brakemen, there
was an air and tone of mystery. No
body was supposed to know any,
thing about railroads If they were
not railroad men" The railroads
set the standards in all kinds Of
ways The railroad Office in the
country village, with its telegraph
instruments and its other parapher-
MALTA. was the one new-fashioned
business establishment, while every
thing else was run upon eighteenth
century methods. But all this has
been changed, while the railway
people themselves are hardly aware
of what has happened. Almost
everything else is more up to date
than the railroads. The most SLOW
enly place about the country town
nowadays may perchance be the
railroad station. A much more en-
terprisine. establishment is the
garage" on the main street. 1t is
nothing now for farm hoy to
operate stationary engines, to plow
with gasoline or kerosene tractors.
to drive motor trucks, or to run
into town on errands with automO-
biles. The steam locomotive is
not an awesome thing in this new
age Of engines and machinery, and
of airplane motors All the mys-
terry and romance of the railroad
business has disappeared.

The Tory Element

In every country there is always
a large element that does not move
with the currents of times. Vast
changes may take place in popular
sentiment and belief, but those peo-
pie are not aware of it. They still
think in the terms of a generation
ago They imagine that the social
beliefs and customs of25 years ago
are still in existence and will re-
main permanently so.
When this country secured its in
dependence, people of this type Of
mind were called Tories. They had
been comfortable and prosperous
under the German descended king
then governing the British empire.
They did not feel the ground swell
of power and self assertion that
was loading the new republic to as
sert its independence and shape its
own destiny. They remained loyal
to past order, and were overwhelm-
ed in the rising tide of Americanism
So this country has to-day its
Tory element. who like their name
sakes of old cling to ancient and
outgrown ways of thought. To day
these people cling to the old idea
concerning wealth They think that
the capitalist has the right to run
his own business in his own selfish
way. regardless of his duty to the
community. without thought of
service to the community and the
welfare of his workers.
Whereas modern sentiment has
reached the point where it sees that
the only justification of a business
is its service to the community. If
it can't work for the welfare of the
community by producing a condi.
ton of welfare among its workers,
and by offering its product at fair
price, it is not serving the communi-
ty. Sooner or later its character
will have to change, or it will be
swept out of sight.
The Tory spirit is very powerful
in the Republican party. You can
see evidences of it in almost any
days debate at Washington or on
the stump.

Rye as a Crop

From 1849 to 1909 rye production
in the United States was practical
ly stationary. From 1909 to 1918
production was almost tripled. the
greatest increase coming in 1917
and 1918
Five years ago there was approx
imately one acre of rye for each
twenty-one acres of wheat in the
United States. Ia 1918 the acreage
was approximately one acre of rye
for each ten acres of wheat.
More rye -four is being eaten than
ever before. Rye and wheat are the
only two grains from which light
bread is now made. Substitutes
may be used up to certain point,
but the basic element must be eth.
er wheat or rye.
On many farms rye will soon re-
place the growing of wheat, as it
will on a ten-year average yield
more per acre. 1t is harder than
wheat. is less liable to winter.kill-
ing requires less fertilizer, and is it.
self an aid to fertility in storing up
nitrogen. 1t may be planted earlier
or later than wheat, and makes a
most excellent pasture.
While rye does not make as good
silage as corn, if it is cut when the
when the grain is in the late milk
stage one acre will yield from four
to ten tons of silage of fair quality.
Aside from the many uses of the
grain, rye straw is highly valued
for bedding live stock, packing
crockery. furniture and nursery
stock. for manufacturing purposes
and especially for stuffine horse
collars.
In 1918 Missouri grew $4,000
acres of rye. averaging ID bushels,
totaling 476.000 bushels, worth
$776,00000. The 1919 crop totals
100000 bushels. averaging IL
bushels.
The 1918 crop Of rye in the Unit
ed States amounted to more than
100000 bushels. The world pro-
duction was about one and two.
thirds billion bushels, which is
somewhat less than half the wheat
production. The 1919 crop is a.
100000 bushels.
Rye is increasing in favor in Mis-.

 Birmingham, Ala. June 12.-- Since the third annual meeting of the Bankhead National Highway Association at Min eral Wells, April 18th and 18th. a great impetus was given in arousing interest in building the Bankhead National Highway. Many counties are voting bonds and securing Federal appropri- ations to build their link of the Highway. Most encouraging re. ports are being received at head quarters, where various counties desire to straighten out their links, erect new signs and build their part of the Highway in ac- cordance with the plans and spe cifications of the United States Government, and the 3ankhead Patdfinding Com mission.
 J. A. Rountree. Sec'y of the Bankhead National Highway As sociation has been officially noti fled that Dallas County, Texas carried bond issue of S6. 800. 900 May 24th by a two thirds vote. Forty miles of the High way through Dallas County is to be built from the funds derived from this bond issue. The road is to be 20 feet wide and built of concrete.
 Secretary Rountree is also in receipt of telegram from Miro copia County. Arizona, stating that last week the people of that county voted S4,OO0.00O worth of bonds, that they would build 130 miles of the Highway in that county of concrete, standard specification road.
 The Board of Revenue of lief. ferson County, Alabama an nounces that bids will be open in the next 30 days for the pur- pose of building the High Say across Jefferson County of con crete and asphalt.
 A contract has been let for building the Highway from lief lin Alabama to Calhoun County. Alabama line and contract is pending for the building of the road from Heflin, Alabama to Talapoosa Georgia. Contractors are already at. work building the Highway from Bremen, Georgia Jo the Carroll County, Ga. line below Temple, Ga. Similar re- ports are being received by Sec retary Rountree from nearly every state along the route from Washington to El Paso, Te xas.
