proving bill by the county commissions
ers and questionable practices by the
district attorney. Mr. Pollard said the
county Is broke and that something
must be done about ii. His sentiment
met with loud approval by those pres
ent. Some one suggested that the

NEW MEXICO LOSES
PASSENGER RATE CASE

Washington, March 5.-Henry G.
Keene, examiner, recommended TO the
interstate commerce commission today
that passenger rates between points in
.ArizoRa, New Mexico and Nevada be-
found not unreasonable, unjustly dis
crimlnatory or unduly prejudicial
Complaint was made Of the rates In
effect by the Arizona corporation COM
mission the public service commission
Of Nevada, and the state corporation
commission OF New Mexico.
This Recommendation is In reply to
the order of the state corporation com
mission of New Mexico last August not
to increase the intra-state passenger
rates because Of the fact that the rate
were already four cents mile and
that an increase In conjunction with
that Of the interstate commerce com
mission would bring the rate up 10 five
cents a mile.
New Mexico joined with Nevada and
Arizona In petition to the Interstate
commerce commission to reduce the
passenger rates In these three states
To the level Of such rates in other states
which would make these passenger
rates SO cents a mile.
The railroads secured an order, how
ever putting the increased fares in eff
iact This order IS sustained iy the

Famous Old London Bridge.

London bridge reached the height of
its glory in the reign of Queen Eliz-
abeth, when the city built a gate and
tower three stories high at Southwark
end, and the wonder of London, Nom
such house, "a huge wooden pile. four
stories high, with cupolas and turrets
at each corner, brought from Holland,
and erected with wooden pegs instead
OF nails" reared itself over the seventh
and eighth arches, on the north side
OF the drawbridge- The whole bridge,
In those days, was one wonderful street
Of shops and dwelling houses, with a
chapel built or restored with great
splendOr." Yet, but a hundred years
or so later, the scene is changed In
deed. The houses and shops and the
chapel are still there, but a hundred
years Old.-Christian Science Monitor.

Nova scotia's Sheep Industry.

The sheep industry in Nova Scotia
is more than 200 years old, records
Of 1893 telling of 1921 sheep in Ar
cadia. The province now ranks fourth
among the provinces in the number of
sheep, with 20O,979, standing second to
Quebec in price received for wool.
Nova Scotia owes its superior quality
to its low shrinkage, as compared with
wool from other parts of Canada. The
climate on the mainland demands shell
ter for sheep during the winter months,
though on certain islands along the
south shore they are out the year
around and feed on the sea kelp
washed up on the shore. These are
the wild sheep descended from those
brought In by early settlers. Enter
prising farmers on the south shore,
seeing that they fed OF the kelp in
winter, cOrralled them on nearby is
lands.

KNIFE WEEDERS

''New Model 21" Is Now Ready
Twenty-one years ago, Mr.. Clayton
lived on a farm and made his first
knife weeder. It had wooden run
ners, the knives were hard to adjust,
it was heavy and pulled hard, but it
did good work. Every year that he
stayed on the farm he made a new
model, aiming to decrease the draft,
increase the strength and decrease
the weight, and make all adjustments
simple and easy. Steel runners re-
placed the wooden runners, and from
year to year important improvements
were placed on the machine, mate
rally increasing its efficiency and
value. While on the farm, Mr.. Clay
ton worked up quite business max
ing these machines and selling them
to his neighbors. After he left the
farm he still continued to make a
new model every year, until he has
now perfected his ''New Model 21"
for the coming season. This new
model is a mighty fine machine for
killing weeds and saving moisture in
any listed field, and it would hardly
seem possible that any further i'm
proVements could be made upon it.
1.-The Weeder Factory, Hill City,
Kan.," is where this machine is now
made, and any farmer, within driv-
ing distance of the factory, can easily
take his car to Hill City and haul one
home. They are SO easily taken apart
that two of the double-rOw machines
are frequently hauled in a Ford car.
The one-row machine weighs 95
pounds, the two-row $50 pounds, and
the three-row $50 pounds. The one
row machine sells for $50, the two
row for $50, and the three-row for
$50. These prices are for machines
without eveners, and with 4-foot side
knives. Longer knives can be fur
nished as extras, and also eveners, if
desired. Most farmers have all the
eVeners that are necessary for these
machines. All of the older models
will be discontinued after this sea-
son. Two-row machines of last years
model may still be had, while they
last, at $500 to $1,000 less than the
above prices.
