LITTLE EASIER FOR GERMANS
Allied High Command Modifies Regu-
lations for Controlling Rail
Employees.

Coblenz.-The allied high command
has just modified the regulations con-
trolling German railroad employees in
the occupied territory in an effort to
restore satisfactory relations between
the military and civil authorities and
the railroad employees. A general
strike was threatened last week..
Under the new rules uniformed
agents of the civil service and rail-
road employees will not be required
to salute allied officers. Railroad EN-
ployees may organize committees of
workmen and employees as provided
by the German law Of January Is,
1919. Representatives of the railway
workmen will be received by the inter
allied railway commission for the dis
cussion of misunderstanding.

whc Invented the Telephone?

The first patent for a practical tele-
phone was granted to Alexander
Graham Bell by the United States
patent Office in 1876, but Bell had a
close rival for the honors in Elisha
Gray of Boston. whose caveat for an
invention ITO transmit the tone Of the
human voice through a ~telegraphic
circuit" was filed a few hours after
the Bell application for a patent.
Gray had described his invention In
d paper communicated the previous
year to the American Electrical so.
ciety.
The Gray and Bell telephones were
similar in many particulars. but after
a memorable litigation the honor of
the invocation was awarded by the
courts to Professor Bell. Gray con-
trlbuted many other important inveD-
lions to mankind.

Dead Towns Awaken.

Dead towns of the West are coming
to life IS a result Of the silver boom.
There were towns in Colorado and Ne
vada and Arizona, which, under the in
fiuence of silver in those days after
the Civil war, burst into wild, rich life
that has no parallel in history.
Clouds OF dust are rising along the
trails that lead across sagebrush'
plains. The mining engineer, present
day successor of the prospector and
his burro, is astir in the silver coun-
try.
They are going back to the old
shafts that yielded wealth when silver
was above a dollar. With the advance
in mining processes in the last four
decades the chances of profits are
many times multiplied.

Custer,s Island.

The town of Hays, Kan, has a nor
NAL school and a history. The two
naturally come to mind together, for
the normal school is built near the site
of the historical events which made
Hays famous, and the students of the
school have taken it upon themselves
to restore the spot to something of it's
old-time appearance.

eral Custer; the famous Indian fight

building Of the first transcontinental
railroad. His wife accompanied him

which flows past the fort is known as

that her body might be found after the
flood was over.
The engineering class of the Hays
Normal school has undertaken the
work of restoring the old fort and
blockhouse and has already erected a

in louisville, pledged themselves to
use every influence possible toward
stimulation of a nationwide move
ment looking to the construction Of
fish ponds upon farms in which desir-
able. species Of game and food fishes,
especially the basses and the sun
fishes, can be propagated for recrea-
ton and for food, at a comparatively
small expense when contrasted with
the vast benefits which will result
therefrom.

Keeps Windows Free From Frost.

In these days, when Jack Frost is
busy drawing pictures on the windows,
many beautiful works appear over
night, but when he completely covers
the glass, he is not so welcome. The
Russians have a very effective way of
preventing the o%bscuring Of the win
dows by frost. In Russia the walls OF
the buildings are very thick, and
double windows are fitted to the
houses. set about 10 inches apart. The
window sill between the outer and in
ner windows is decorated with bright
green moss, and hidden there is a dish
filed with calcium chloride, which abb
serbs all the moisture and thus effec-
tually prevents the formation of ice
during the long, cold winter.

True knowledge.

knowledge is more than mere sagac-
ity. Animals and sayages display this
in a remarkable degree. Real knowl-
edge is due to familiarity with mental
and physical properties. 1t knows the
relations Of materials and the reac-
tions of their mutual contact. Knowl-
edge is the child of experience and the.
product OF mental digestion OF facts.
This takes time and toll. IT submits
the learner to situations and submits
sions the average man revolts from.
That's why It II that few gain power.
They are unwilling to pay the price OF
mental growth.

All Dislike Red.

Red has been called the king Of
color. The bull is not the only crea.
ture that resents red; the elephant,
the. horse, the dog, the cock, are all
alike in this respect. It is sufficient,
for example, to owe the doors and
skylights of a kennel with red ma.
terial to cause incessant barking and
commotion among the dogs confined
therein. A spider and a wasp, con.
fined in a glass case, are reported to
have dwelt happily together until a
red cloth was placed against the sides,
when the insects tackled each other
at once and a fight to the death

ALLIES ASK ARMisTIcE


Having to appeal to the despised
Bolsheviki for mercy for Poland must
be painful to allied governments, in
Guiding our own. Press writer's are
endeavoring to explain away some Of
their chagrin by e%nlarging on the Po-
lish madness of attempting to seize
territory rs to 80 per cent Russian
and about 8 to 4 per cent Polish. But
it would seem that the Poles can be
blamed chiefly for allowing them
selves to be used as cat'spaws.
The first Polish drive was insti-
tuted to embarrass the Russian gov
eminent with war and to d.
vert it from fighting Denikine's ex-
peditton in the south, and from Per-
STA, India and Kolchak in the east.

RAIL OWNERS SCARED


Railroad officials appear to be
alarmed lest the public will not toll.
crate their inefficiency much longer.
About W. months ago a general ap-
peal was made to the Interstate COM
jlerce commission to take a firm hand
j the matter and more particularly to
4 ~ priority shipments. Congress,
ho:"eve.. cid not give the commission
power to enforce It's orders and the
different railroads have not been obey
ing them. Hence a hurried confer
ence Of officials of the more important
roads In New York the other day to
see If the roads could not agree to
obey the commission.
The assembled magnates appointed
nine wise men to act as a committee
charged with the responsibility of
preserving private ownership. At the
conclusion of the secret session of
railway executives Thomas De Witt
Cuyler, chairman of the association,
issued a public statement in which he
said:
1T was clearly the purpose of con-
gress, as expressed In the transpor-
tation act of 1920, that private own
ership and operation of the railroads
should continue to be the established
policy in this country, but your COM
mittee is firmly Of the belief that in
the final analysis the test of private
ownership which the public will ap-
ply will be the ability of the carriers
to render efficient service to the coun-
try as a whole and under all condi-
tons"

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Success Of
the attempt of many progressive or
CARNATIONS to form a third party is
not yet In sight, and even if all fac
lions get together on national candi-
dates this will not necessarily mean
the kind Of success which third party
boosters have In mind.
Success implies getting the votes
Of all citizens not really represented
in or protected by old party machines.
Outside of Nonpartisan league terri
tory the farmers, while mostly dis
gusted with the treatment they have
received, are not organized for poll
teal action.
On the other hand, it looks as if
the Democrats. in choosing Cox, have
picked a nan with a record which
will appeal to the leaders Of the Amer
loan Federation Of Labor and give
basis for their following the "Nonpar-
ttsan policy" of picking what appears
to be the better of the political ma
chine offerings. The danger that Cox
may have purchased" his nomination
with this record and secret agree
ments will not be given proper con-
siderat1on.
Between the appeal of the politi-
CLANS to give the old method n more
trial and the more advanced laborites
who will swing to Debs, a third party
would have to be most favored by new
Developments to get far.
Perhaps realization of the farmer
and labor position in states outside
of Nonpartisan league territory is the
chief reason why the League did not
send delegates and rather decided to
continue to conflne its efforts to state
action.
If the third party can be organized,
however, and make a big showing this
year it will be in a splendid position
for victory by 1924. In the past great
movements have sprung out of SEEM
ingly great difficulties and it is not
impossible that the faith of the third
party boosters may be similarly pro-
ductiye of great results.

MANY DESERTED FARMS

5000 idle farms in that stationary

Michigan reports 1882 idle farms and
the disappearance of $4,000 farmers
and farmhands within the last three
years.
Many another state could make
similar reports, and no state except
North Dakota, where the farmers have
control, can claim any practical effort
toward meeting the farm problems
which such figures disclose. Our fed
eral government, which controls great
factors affecting the farmers, has like
wise deserted their interests.

Railroad Valuation -

Again the Minnesota Railroad and

NAL protest against a tentative valu-

ties propose to give this little railroad
a value of S299, 691.14. The state
contends that the property covered
by the appraisal is worth only 1884,
1892. Furthermore the state de-
clares that it has certified statements
from the railroad which it's engineers
have verified in the field, to prove
that its figures aer correct.

largely from the remains of an aban-
dened logging road, by Armour &
