train was near him until he saw 1t
after the accident. Before he had
realized what had happened he found
himself lying in Il ditch near the right
OF way fence and the train had stopped
and was backing up to the scene of the
accident TO See if anyone had been
hurt. The trainmcn state that they
were all surprised to see the driver
of the car walking toward them APP
.!arcntly u%niniured and in fact all his
injuries consisted OF 4 few minor
scratches and bruises.
The car was of the enclosed type
but the glass windows had been re-
moved. The train struck it just back
of the front seat cutting it entirely in
two. Part of it was left hanging on
the cattle guard fence, while the re-
mainder of it lay against the right-of-
way fence. 1t was so badly damaged
that there is nothing left of it to re-
pair, a part OF the motor being also
broken to pieces. Motor, body, chassis
aud Tenders arc one twisted mass of
wrcckage and everyone who has viewed
il wonders how the young man could
possibly have been in the car and escap-
ed with his life.

I have been bitterly assailed for
the Labor provisions i'll the railroad
law, and not alone for the provisions
which were adopted by the senate
but which were rejected by h house
Of representatives. 1t is impossible, l
think, for any IA who values the
truth 20 accuse me of any want or III
tcrest in the welfare of that great
body Of men and women ordinarily de
scribed as wage workers ma DC
mistaken, for no man is intallible; but
in view Of my twenty years OF public
life no decent man will charge me with
hostility toward labor. True loyalty TO
labor, however, does not involve dis
loyalty to the common interest OF the
hundred and ten million people who
comprise the republic Of the United
States. am for labor and always
have been for labor because fair and
just wages and good working condl-
items arc absolutely essential to the
welfare of all the people. but my SUI
prone allegiance is due to the people as
IA whole and ! intend to he loyal to that
allegiance, 10 matter what the con-
sequences may be. In the railroad bill
we have provided Il fair, impartial
tribunal for the adjudiction of all dis
Ipltes concerning fhc wages OF those
who are engaged in railroad employ
mcnt. For the first time in the history
Of the world we have enacted q code for
the protection Of the railroad wage
workers. We have laid down the prin-
lciples which determine what just COM
pcnsatiCn is and if these principles he
intclligcntly applied the workers upon
the railroads will always receive their
Just reward for the labor which they
eXDcnd. Never before has Il govern
mrnt undertaken To protect a body of
wage workers in this way. and firmly
believe that the law uShcrs in Il new

high that it is both Improbable II
impossible for the majority OF tenants
TO acquire ownership.
When conditions are such as are re-
vealed by the present study, the solu-
ton of the evils of tenancy would ap-
pear to require methods that will limit
the tendency toward the ovcr-capitall-
cation of farmland values in relation
to farm incomes. In part, this may be
accomplished by educating farmers in
alternative lines of sound investment,
and in showing them the folly of sacri-
ficing their standards of living III or
der to purchase land at excessive
prices. In part, it may be necessary to
employ more direct methods for he

demand for land which is the out
growth of speculative motives, or other

"I,ut he Amt Went Yit."

Every little while they tell us that the
horse has got to go;
First the trolly was invented cause
the horses went so slow,
And they told us that we'd better not
keep raisin' colts no more,
When the street cars got to noting
that the horses pulled before,
/ thOt it was all V for old Fan and
Doll and Kit,
S'poscd the horse was up and done for,
But he amt went yit ."
When the bike craze first got started
people told us right away,
AS you probably remember, that the
horse had saw his day;
put away their buggics and
went kitin' round on wheels:
There were lots and lots Of horses
didn't even earn their meals.
l used to stand and watch 'em with
their boomers as they'd fit,
And l thot the horse was goin,'
But he amt went yit"
Then they got the hOrseless carriage,
and they said the horse was
done,
And the story's been repeated twenty
times by Edison;
Every time he gets another of his bat
terieS to go
lie comes whoopin' out to tell us that
the horse don't stand Il show.
And you'd think to see these chauf-
feurs, as they go a-chautlin', 1t
Was goodbye to Mr.. Dobbin,
But he amt went yit.'
When the people get to flying in the
mir S'upSp they'll say.
As we long have been a-sayins, that
the horse has had his day.
And | S'pOse that some old Teller Just
about like nell stand
it's safe. and watch the horses
haUlin' stuff across the land:
And he'll maybe think rs l do, while
the crowds above him fit,
they say the horse is done for,
But he amt went yit."

everything and inilicts untold hard
ships upon millions OF people. a sus-
pension for two weeks begins Il serious
inroad upon food supplies and health.
\ suspension for four weeks means
starvation in a country filled to over
flowing with the products OF the SOIL.
1t means death and indcscribable ca
lamity. The millions Of people who
suffer this cruel punishment are with
out fault. What then, is the duty of
the government toward these multi
tudes of helpless men and women!
Plainly, it must do whatever it can
to secure continuity and regularity in
the movement Of commodities from
place to place and from state to state.
It's first specific duty is to provide IA
tribunal for the adjudication OF the
disputes which may arise between the
railroad wage workers and their en-
p@loycrs: it can not in justice interfere
with the wage workers until 1t is
ready to do justice to the wage work
crS and obviously it can not Interfere
with the right Of any man to leave his
employment il he desires to do so, for
in a free country that right must be
respected. Having, however, created a
tribunal which will render to the rail
road wage worker Il surer and higher
justice than they can ever hope to Sc
cure through the strike, it Il and it
ought to say to these workers, en-
gagged ms they are in Il public employ
mcnt, You must resort to this tribunal
and it shall hereafter be unlawful for
YOU TO enter into Il conspiracy the OBJ
ject Of which is to coerce your en-
pIo%2rs by intlictins upon an innocent
public the infinite cruclticS which
spring from il general cessation Of
transportation" 1t is impossible for
me to believe that the, civilization Of
this day can not devise some plan
which will at once protect the wage
workers upon railroads and the public
as well. | believe the age of the strike
in public utilities has passed. The
railroad bill as it came from the sen
ate made the conspiracy OF which |
have spoken unlawful: and while l
suppose ] need not say so, | desire to
say that | am mistaken IN the convic-
ton that the senate provision should
have remained in the law.

BATTLE BUGS NOW. 4

Right now is the time to step into
Americas army of bugs and get action
saws the American Forestry asSocia-
ton which calls on every good American
citizen to enlist to make it Il big year
against the insect pests that destroy
five hundred million dollars worth of
your property every year. The BIRDS
are the great front line army III tins
warfare, but folks cannot work rs fast
as birds so they must resort to other
means.
Bear in mind there are two big di-
visions to the advancing hosts. These
are the chewing and sucking insects.
Plans to get them differ as will he
pointed out. The plan of campaign is
determined by the kind of in'"ry done
for you are only wasting timo apply
ing the methods for chewing insects
to those that suck their food.
Bordeaux mixture does not kill in
sccts it only prevents and controls
damage by dicseasc. Chewing insects
are generally controlled by poisoning
what they feed on. while sucking in
sects are only controlled by spraying
the insects themselves. Determine how
the creature secures its food-u
whether by chewing and swallowing
portions of its food, or GU by sucking
the juices Of plants through IL tin!
bcak inserted In the plant tissue.
The first group. usually called chew
ing insects, can generally be con
trollcd by poisoning their food at az
advantageous time with some of the
well known arsenical compounds. The
work of chewing insects is usually rec
ognized by the ragged or perforated
condition Of the foliage.
The second group, composed of suck
ing insects, can he controlled by oily
Or corrosive contact sprays applied
directly to the bodies Of the insects. 1t
Is useless TO attempt any contiol of II
sucking insect by the application OF Il
stomach poison either to the surface
Dr in the sap of a food plant. The work
Of sucking insects Is not so easily rec
Dgnized as that of the preceding group
the affected plants show little
external injury. Gradual weakening.
or shrivcling Of the attacked
plant IS generally evidence of attack
by sucking insects.

DON'T SELL LIBERTY BONDS!
X 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 < 4 4

The market price for Liberty
Bonds is quite low. Evidently
many II of bonds are selling
these securities. If they are not
compelled by dire necessity to let
go their holdings, they are foolish
to sell. for the bonds are worth
100 cents ON the dollar and will
bring that if they are held. In adj
dition. they yield interest at Il fair
rate, and no pledge on earth is
more sure. If the United States
lives, the bonds will be paid in
full, interest and principal. Or
what other security in the world
can this he said with equal asSur-
ancc?
A decrease in market price is
often misunderstood by holders of
bonds who are not familiar with
financial matters. They take
alarm and feel that they must
sell their bonds before they go
lower in price" That is false
reasoning, and if adopted it auscs
Unnecessary loss to individuals
who cannot afford to lose even Il
dollar.
All that is necessary is to hold
all bonds. The market price is
partly manipulation and partly Il
result of excessive selling by per
sons who may be ignorant or too
hard pressed. But the. market
price need have nothing to do with
any bondholdcr. He is not con-
ccrncd with the depth Of a rail
road cut il he is on u stout bridge,
his only concern being the, journey
across the bridge. Similarly the
only concern of Il bOndllOldcr is to
collect the coupons and the bond
in full when due. The price might
sag to nothing, but that means
nothing if the owner does not sell.
The United States is u strong
bridge that will carry the bond
across to maturity, exactly IN the
level and without regard - the
depth of the chaSm that is crossed.

alton in the family diet. In many fam
lilies eggs are seldom served except at
breakfast, but they furnish just as
many possibilities for d%electable dishes
for luncheon or supper as they do for
breakfast. They can well take. the
place of Il meat dish, for, like meat
they furnish protein, fat, and mineral
matter and the yolk is also a good
source of vitamin. A few recipes for
%attrative dishes suitable to serve in
place Of meat for the midday or even

tested in the experimental kitchen OF
the United States department of agri-

Combinations of eggs with bread
