On March u, 1904, Andrew Carnegie
turned over to the Carnegie Hero
Fund commission $5,OO0,OOO in bonds
of the United States Steel corporation.
The provisions of the gift are too nu-
merous to be given in detail here, but
in general it is provided that where a
person is injured in performing some
act of bravery the commission may
provide for him until he has recoY-
cred, or for his family, in case he dies
as the result of his bravery. 1t also
provides for medals to be given to

FARMING CONDITIONS
DEMAND COST FIGURES

East Lansing, March 9.-Constant-
ly increasing demand for accurate
figures on cost of producing farm
products is brought out by the uni
versal emphasis being placed on fair
prices for the farmer. Agricultural
leaders are agreed that the future
welfare of the nations food producers
depends upon an early determination
of what constitutes fair price.
"The basis for all this work must
be the records kept by individual
farmers throughout the country" de-
clares c. H. Graves, Farm Manage
ment Demonstration at the Michigan
Agricultural College, "but unfortun-
ately the number of such accounts be-
ing kept in Michigan is not great
enough to furnish a comprehensive
background for cost estimates.
eff the agricultural organizations
of Michigan are to aid in the estab-
lishment of fair prices for farm pro-
ducts, they must be supplied with a
greatly increased number of accurate
ly kept . individual farm accounts.
Every farmer in the state owes it to
the agricultural industry to start
keeping farm account book this
spring, for in no other way can this
major farm problem be solved"
Farm account books designed to
meet this demand are available
through the county farm bureaus of
the state, or may be had directly
from the Farm Management Depart
ment at the Michigan Agricultural
College, East Lansing.

SYRUP MAKERS TO
ASK FAIR PROFIT

East Lansing, March 9.-Demands
for price which will place the maple
syrup industry of the state on pay
ing basis are being made by members
of the Michigan Maple Syrup Makers
Association, who are expecting to re-
ceive from $3.50 to $2.75 for their
product this spring. A good market
for syrup at these figures is reported.
eff the maple syrup industry In
Michigan is to survive, and the sugar
bushes continue and improve, the price
must bring to the grower his cost Of
production plus fair profit" says
Prof. F. N. Sanford, of the Forestry
Department at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, and secretary of the
state association.
Michigan ranks third among the
states which are large syrup produc-
ers, only New York and Vermont ex-
ceeding our total output. There are
between two and three thousand MAX
ers in the state, and these producers
must be guaranteed a fair profit.
"Maple syrup is no longer consid-
cred necessity, and it does not have
to compete with beet and cane sugar
in any way. Today, maple syrup is a
luxury-a CONNECTION, and it is in this
field that the future of the industry
lies. The syrup can be used on the
table economically by anyone who
can afford candy"
Signed contracs for large orders at
better than $2.75 a gallon have al
ready been secured by the associa-
ton, through its secretary, who acts
as a clearing house for orders. The
association has standing market for
all syrup which can be produced, and
can guarantee minimum price to it's
members. This minimum is Sits a
gallon in barrels, the equivalent of
about $3.50 in cans, when the extra
cost of canning is considered.
A further market of $1.10 in bar
rels is offered for all syrup which is
"buddy" or scorched, which places a
premium on running the bush to the
limit this year. These prices are
available to all members of the state
association.

What is perhaps the most striking
, example of the high regard in which
the thinking people Of Michigan hold
Major-General Leonard Wood, candi'
date in the forthcoming Republican
primary for the nomination for the
presidency, is to be found in Ann Ar
Dor where members of the faculty at
the University-some Of them life.
long Democrats-have declared them
selves his supporters.
Men who might reasonably be ex-
pected to have kindred telling for
the pedagogue, rather than for the
man on horseback, have-after having
weighed Leonard Woods works in the
balance of cold, scientific analysis
come to the conclusion that the practi-
cal things he has accomplished argue
for an efficiency of performance.
These men have subjected General
Woods record to laboratory tests, as
1t were, and found but little dross
amid great amount Of pure gold.
And, having done so, they are not
loath to give their support to him.
None has been half-hearted in that
support, either. Every endorsement
that has come from faculty men at
Ann Arbor is unqualified, because that
which General Wood has accomplish
ed leads them reasonably to expect
greater work from him.
These men have found that Gen
eral Wood is:
A Capable Administrator.
Primarily. an administrator who,
having brought order out Of chaos in
Cuba and in the Philippines, can be

The return of the American railway
system to private management was
greeted with nothing less than a ma
tional burst of rejoicing. 1t is an
incontrovertible fact that this country
ought to have the best railway service
in the world, as it once did have.
American business judgment, practi-
cal experience and horse sense reach
ed the conviction months ago that
Government railroading was hope
less proposition. So the American
people were ready, eager and deter
mined to get the operation of the
carriers out of the hands of the Gov
eminent.
But practical railroad men charged
with the responsibility of restoring
the morale of the workers, improv-
ing the quality of the service and re-
establishing the credit of he roads do
not, and the general public should not
ignore the very serious condition of
the carriers, now that they are out of
the hands of the Government.
The public is paying directly in in
creased traffic charges two billions of
dollars a year more in round numbers
than it was paying little while ago
for transportation. But the payrolls
of the roads are up hundreds of mil
lions and their other operating ex-
penses are up still other hundreds of
millians beyond the increased gross
receipts represented by that two bill
lions of dollars of increased traffice
charges. The increased costs, in plain
English, are up far above the limit
of financial safety.-New York Sun.

tions and engender neither the hostih

Such a man these leaders In Mich

Lawrence Bigelow, professor OF physi
cal and general chemistry; Professor
Edward d. Campbell, director Of the
chemical laboratory, and Professor
William ]. Hussey, director Of the OBJ
servatory.
Men sometimes regarded as more
practical than these have given their
reasons for supporting General Wood,
but none in business, on the farm or IN
the shop has yet advanced any reason
that Is more practical than these.
Wood sentiment in Ann Arbor is
by no means confined to the university
circle as is attested by a statement
recently made by G. F. Allmandinger

gan Milling Co. Mr.. Allmsndinger
speaks in glowing terms OF Gen

RAILROADS ON TRIAL
(From the N. Y. World)

The railroads had to be taken over
by the Government as a war neces.
sity. That is not debatable. The in
crease Of % per cent in fares and 81
per cent in freight rates is burden
some, though not in proportion to
other price increases. The business
has grown.
But the people are less concerned
with post-mortems than with pros
poets. The capital expenditure of
81, 163,000,000 on the roads in two
years, though substantial, is INSULT
cient. They go to their owners, as
President Smith Of the New York
Central says, weakened by their VIC
issitudes."

All hope that Vermont would rati-
fly the woman suffrage amendment
before the presidential election van
ished when letter was made public
from Gov. p. w. Clement to Col. j. E.
Paddock, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, in which the Gov
ernor refuses the committees request
that he call an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose.
Governor Clement takes the same
position he took year ago, when he
vetoed the presidential suffrage bill
which had passed both branches of
the Legislature. He contends that
such legislation infringes on the Con-
stitution of the State and is in fact
an amendment to it, and that the
question must be referred to the peo-
pie.

(From the Moline (Ill.) Dispatch)

On the whole, if this Paris version
is true, the presidents position, voic-
ed by Colonel House in the presence
of Mr.. Wilson and the other confer
ees, was an unbelievable assumption
of power over the whole conference.
This in the face of the fact that Mr..
Wilson had no commission from the
people of the United States to rep
resent this country at the peace con-
ference, but had appointed himself on
the assumption that his election to
the presidency by a minority of the
voters and by minority of the states
gave him supreme power to speak for
the, people, beyond and above any
power that the king would be author
lied to exercise in the name of Great
Britain. {.

Barney Baruch, who knows as much
as any man in Washington, except the
President, says living prices have
reached their limit and predicts that
they will soon come down. The public
will hope that he is better prophet
than the Attorney General, for it has
become rather tired of all the talk
about what is going to happen, when
nothing happens. These predictions
are no doubt intended to boost the
Administration and perhaps carry it
over the next election, but they are
rather too flimsy to serve either pur-
pose.-Philadelphia Press.
