Good Old Oregon Railroads Picking Up

| at the Puget sound hayward at Bre-
merton, Wash.
EFFICIENCY of the railroads has
increased greatly since their return
TO private management, according TO
summary of operating statistics
made public by the Interstate COM
merce commission. The report is for
the first seven months of 1920. five
months of which were under private
operation. Comparisons are made
with the same period of 1919. when
the roads were under government con-
troll. 1t is declared that the average
OF 769 net tons per freight train in
July not only exceeds the train load
in any month since the government
relinquished control, but is greater
than in any month during federal op-
Grafton.
IOWA land increased in value on an
average of $63 an acre from March
1919, to March. 1920, according to fir.
ures Just given out by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. a
committee from which has recently
completed an investigation of the re-
cent land boom.

American Hen Is a National Institution

THE American hen may have her
i weaknesses as an individual, but
collectively she is a national institu-
ton. If you doubt this, poise that
appraised knife over the matutinal
boiled egg and consider these facts:
Americas hens cackled 23,4S4,O00,-
600 times last year in proud an
nouncement. There were 1857, 0OO,-
600 dozen eggs produced in the United
States. For these, the farmer received
an average price of 43.8 cents a dozen,
or about $S5O,OOO,OOO.
Uncle Sam says himself so officially.
He furnished the information to the
delegates to the National Poultry, But
ter and Egg association convention,
which met recently in Chicago. These
delegates were quite swelled up with
just and fitting pride, for they rep
resent the men who collected the hen
fruit, handled it with care and brought
the enormous crop to market.
The data was complied for the pro-
duce men by the bureau of markets of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t further shows there were

the then king of England, received
the commission of deputy postmaster
general for the American colonies,
with the yearly salary of $4,000.

Farm Tenantry Increases in Middle West

III. HI. Shutz, federal statistician for
the state.
"The percentage of rented farms
has increased somewhat in the south
ern half of Wisconsin," Joseph A.
Becker, agricultural statistician at
Madison, Wis.,, writes. However, the
large number of new farms being
opened up in the northern part of the
state, practically all of which are op-
Grated by owners, has more than kept
up the percentage of owned FARMS"
Farm tenantry increased per cent
in Illinois in the ten-year period from
1909 to 1919, according to figures COM
piled by the state department of agri-
culture at Springfield. Tenantry in
1919 was estimated at 45.5 per cent.
Farm tenantry in Ohio will show
only an increase of per cent over
1910, in the opinion of A. Q. Falconer,
head of the rural economics depart
ment at Ohio State university.
Farm tenantry in Minnesota is stead
lily increasing because Of the advanced
prices of farm lands and a hesitancy
on the part Of many retiring farmers
to relinquish title to their lands. ac-

WASHINGTON
SIDELIGHTS
And Whole Case Might Cause War"

United States, some people think. Our
government has to deal with these
nOtables and agents from other parts,
and it deals with them to promote
the interests of the United States.
They are mad when they are sent
here, preferring to go to Roumania,
Monaco, Sweden, or other livelier
parts-even to Albania, Armenia, or
Liberia-and it is unwise to make
them madden.
A quart of liquor taken away from
diplomat might wreck treaty, and
a whole case might cause a war.
Be this as it may, the customs serv-
ice receded from it's position with re-
spect to the Importation Of liquor by
the diplomatic representatives of for
eign countries. Officials said that not
only could the diplomats bring liquor
in, but that liquor consigned would
have to be admitted. Such cOnsign-
ments already in the country, how
ever, can be removed from the port
only by diplomat or member of his
household, it was held.

In 1774 he was ousted from office
by the king for his very much pro-

was not jobless long. The continental
congress knew, perhaps from past OBJ
servation, that the services of a pos
tai chief were necessary, and he was
appointed by them in that capacity the
next July.
1t was not until July, 1851, that the
first of the higher value stamps came
out.
In the early days of the postage
stamp fewer letters were written than
today. In those days one stamp rep
