WILDERSVILLE, TENN.

This little city, as is generally
known, was destroyed by fire on last
may 18th and scarcely six months
have passed-but we find the town
pretty well rebuilt. In spite of the
depressed conditions that have exist
ed since that time. The new buildings
are very commodious with every mod
ern equipment, making them enticing
to the travelling critics eye, and es-
pecial mention should be made of the
Wildersville Hardware Co.'S building
which will cover more than 5000
square feet of floor space with six
main entrances, as it will contain on
the first floor the postoffice, the
Beauty Ice Cream Parlor," ladies'
rest room and one of the most up-to-
date barber shops to be found any
where, together with toilet and bath
rooms and 5000 pound capacity re-
frigerator. From this floor the Com
panys' customers may ascend to the
next floor eithey by stairway or eleva-
tor where they will find choice lines
of hardware, china and glassware,
cutlery, etc, and possibly other lines
will be decided upon. Everything will
be arranged in the most picturesque
manner.
Besides the rebuilding that has
taken place here since the town was
incorporated last March, the streets
have been widened and graveled.
Walks have been made along some
streets, the school has increased its
enrolment from 100 to 1877, its term
from five to nine months and many
more minor improvements have been
made and still many more improve
ments could be made-but we have
enough confidence to believe that
whatever improvement problem may
yet arise, her citizens viii be able to
solve il.

GOVERNOR HARDING
DEFENDS HIGH SALARIES

Governor w. p. G. Harding, of the
Z Federal Reserve Board defends the
high salaries paid officials of the
Federal Reserve Banks running as
high as $4,000, which sum is paid the
governor of the New York Bank. To
get quality in men or merchandise, in
this country, good price must be
paid-hut $50, 900 does look high
and there are many as competent
men who would give the service for
less. However, what the monied men
say do, must be done-then why kick,
as certain Democratic Senator's haYe

DECLARES STRIKE
CAN BE AVERTED,

Colombbus, o., Oct. 15.-"The rail-
road strike can be averted even now,
provided the railroads give the en-
ployes satisfactory assurance that
they will reduce rates proportionately
to the reduction in wages" l.. A.
Watson, general chairman of the rail-
road clerks union for the Hooking
Valley system. declared tonight.
II am confident that the officials
of the unions would agree to accept
the July cut as well as the proposed
cut of IL per cent suggested by the
rail executives, if they could be as
sured that railroad rates would be
cut proportionately," Watson told the

HIGH FREIGHT RATES
BLOCKING FARMERS

Arthur Capper, United States Sem
ator from Kansas, has the following
e say about high freight rates
High freight ratese today not only
are blocking every effort of farmers,
manufacturers and business men to
get back to normal, but are eating
away the very roots of business and
national prosperity.
e There's no more opportune time to
cut these excessive rates than right
row. The railways proposed wage
seduction win net them saving of
&zO0, 100000 year. That should be
lppped off the freight rates.
A cut right now, coupled with the
BUSINESS stimulous of rich harvest,
would put every class Of business
back on its feet. But if the present
rates are maintained, business cam

Here's what freight rates are doing
20 you, to me, to everybody:
Farmers.
/ Hay, hide and sheep production is
titled. Cattlemen say their only sal
ration hes in keeping cattle out of
freight cars. When 1000 steers reach
market, the railway owns 1000.
Corn cannot be shipped with profit
from many localities. Sheep must be
Shipped at loss, if at all.

and apples will rot in the fields this

Industries.
Il Bituminous coal output is 10000
900 tons below normal. Steel produc-
Ition Is at its lowest ebb since May,
1911. Construction is being held up
|Ieverywhere.
/ The packing industry is being driv-
len into the ground. Canadian packers
with the benefit Of low freight rates
are taking away our export meat

/ The farm machine industry is
j sleeping. Freight rates on the aver

i $72.04 to header, $4,000 to a pow
Ter hay press and S243.10 to thresh-
Ting machine.
Railways.
Excessive freight rates are acting

sion says the carriers hauled $1,000, !
600 tons less freight in the first six
months of this year than in the same
period last year. The Middle West
shipped $4,000 fewer cars of hay to
Kansas City, the worlds greatest hay
market, thi sseason than last.
High freight rates are one Of the
greatest factors in the unemployment

Explaining the pro- cedure adopted by himself and his companion, he said that they stole an automobile at Sioux City, drove to Curlew. where they committed the robbery, returned to Curlew, ditched the car little out of town and caught a train for the west.

Former Forester Makes Success
 Of Running Stock In Brush Range

Despite many unsuccessful at tempts by cattlement to run and work stock in rough. brushy coun- try, attempts that have usually re- suited in their giving up in disgust, it has remained for C. F. Rae, a former deputy forest supervisor to demonstrate that not only can cattle be maintained in the toughest of brush country. but that they can be handled effectively under adverse conditions.
 This statement was made to the Arizona Star by Robert Hill, director of the Santa Rita range experiment station, which is cooperating with MT. Rae in his experiment.
 Believing that the brush range of approximately half of which is util- ized, could be used by stockmen to it's full capacity, MT. Rae two years ago resigned his post with the for estrr service and went into cattle raising. He secured an allotment of about 10000 acres in the toughest section Of the Chiricahua range and bought bunch of cattle. He start ed with strain Of Angus cattle crossed with Durhams. and is achiev- ing a hardy strain of rustlers with the use of Pole Hereford bulls.
 His allotment Is in Fuckers can- yon," said MT. Hill, ''in a big cowl- shaped section on the southwestern slopes of the Chiricahua. His first move was to divide the allotment with a fence, later building drift fences to hold the cattle in the rough country.
 "He then began brushing out trails through the canyons in order to give his cattle free access to all parts of the range. When completed he will have a trail system of ap- proximately 30 miles built at s25 a mile.
 He next developed the water

seeps on his range. changing them from mud holes to cement troughs, where his cattle may drink clean water at all times. He also put salt at points in the bacl, of his range. to further induce his stock to keep away from the lower levels, where he pastures his bulls in winter.
 "One of the greatest difficulties experienced by cattlemen is the working of stock in country of this kind. When cattle are thrown out in the brush country they usually become so wild that they can only be handled an animal at time, and then with great loss of time, and much trouble. Mir. Rae almost immediately began tanning his cat tie, and now has them so used to him that they can be driven without diff ficulty.
 "He accomplished this by riding among them frequently. crooning to them as COW punchers have crooned to cattle since white men invaded the range.
 "'Soo COW. 500 COW. where's your little soogey'' Or Little soogey. where's your mammy?' There is nothing that will quiet cattle more surely than singing to them.
 "Other outfits who have had this land have given up trying to run cattle there as a bad job. While MT. Rae has only been there two years, too short a time to predict the certainty of the venture, still the success with which the eXperi- inent has been met so far indicates that the plains thoroughly feasible.
 "when MT. Rae took charge of the allotment the range was only avail able for 360 head of cattle. With his fences and water equipment 1t is now adequate for 500 head, and when all his plaLs for distributing the stock have been wholly developed it is believed he will be able to run $50 on the range"

Mischievous. rollicking youth that blithely forges it's way to happiness in spite of all obstacles is the prin- cipal ingredient in the swiftly nov ing Mary Miles Minter comedy, Moonlight and Honeysuckle," which opens a two-day stay at Mauks Co., lumbia theater today.
 Miss Minter is always best in those parts which call for pep and viva ciousness and the role of Judith Baldwin certainly gives her plenty of opportunity to exercise those quail ties Complications galore arise when she proposes trial engagements with couple of her most ardent wooers in order to see which one of them will wear best as a potential hus- band. Of course, it's all strictly con ventional, as far as trial engagements can be. and before the final adjust ment there is a world of super humorous situations.
