Plains Farmers Can

By Raising Sudan

The plains are the natural home Of
Sudan grass To Is raised extensive

over the state the seed Is In good
demand Planters of this row crop
usually realize a good profit from
this crop and Is raised in some
quantity by most every farmer in
this country
From present indications the
opening price on Sudan grass seed
will be around what it was last
year, or possibly 25c TO soc per
hundred higher The crop Tex
as. Of course. will be quite short, but
there IS an enormous Kansas acre

Is anywhere normal at all, il viii

still matter Of weather, and it de-
ponds upon how the situation viii

hot weather continues we may look
for a greatly reduced crop. How
ever, from present indications We
can bank on az least seventy-five
per cent yield, with prospects of inn

II the farmers in this county
must sell their seed as soon as
threshed. as he usually does. he has
not lost anything by having il con-

he might as well sell as thresled

are complete failure. He also
stated that in the mountains west

WHEN ENGINE WHISTLES AS THE TRAIN PASSES
 THROUGH ANCHORAGE

They are telling a good story around Anchorage on Colonel Fred erick Mears, head of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. At din- ned attended by both Colonel Mears and w. Foster Bain, director of the Bureau of Mines, shortly after MT. Bain had thrown cold water on the hopes of the Anchorageites for big coal field, Colonel Mears tWitted Mr. Bain over the resentment which the Anchorage people felt towards him for running down the coal prospects. He told MT. Bain that they would probably railroad him out of town. That's nothing," replied MT. Bain, wait and see what they will do to you when they learn that you are going to install through train ser vice from Seward to Nenana, and all they will know of the trains will be when they hear the whistle as it flies through Anchorage"

VISITORS WIN
 CLOSE GAME
 FROM LOCALS

Old Jupiter Plubius shut off the flood gates long enough yesterday afternoon to allow the Radio ball team to defeat the Cordova club, by a score of to 4, and now each az gregation has two games to it's credit. It was a fine exhibition of the na- tional game, and thoroughly enjoyed by the fans.
 Morgan and Steel, of the local team, were the battery for the Radio boys and put up a good article ot ball. Morgan struck out eleven men and allowed but six hits. Anstis pitched for Cordova, giving the yis- itors eight hits, walking six and struck out eight. Lopez was behind the bat and his right arm was all to the good In the error column Cor dova is credited with six and the Radio three.
 HOW-THE RUNS WERE MADE
 The first score was made in the fourth inning, when three Radio men crossed the home plate. Tracy was walked, but caught off first base. Anstis also walked Morgan and Steel. Lewter drove out a two bagger, scoring Morgan. While Lenahan was at bat and before he struck out Steel scored on a wild throw of pitcher Staten drove a ball to Van Houten at third who fumbled it, then threw ball to pitcher, who shot it to second, where Frederickson made a misplay and Lewter scored. Egan walked out and Glossian struck out.
 In the sixth inning Steel and Lew ter made two baggers, but the latter was thrown out while trying to steal third. Steel scored on Slaten's two bagger.
 Radio scored again in the eighth. Egan walked, steals second and thpd and scores on Glossian's hit
 In the ninth Morgan sent hot liner past the pitcher, second base man and left fielder Steel again soaked the pill for two bases. Lewtef hit to pitcher reaching first on his error while Morgan scored.
 For the Cordova team the run-get- ting started in the sixth, with three

tallies. F'rederickson singled. Tay- Tor hit two bagger. Gilbert flied to center. Lopez placed one in same place and reached first on second baseman's error, while Frederickson scored. Taylor was put out at home plate. Anstis singled, bringing in Lopez. Van Houten made two base hit scoring Anstis.
 One more run secured in the sev- enth. Hill hit grounder to second and thrown out at first. Jackson drove to short and reached first on a wild throw. Frederickson banged the ball for two bases. Taylor hit to short and beat the throw to first. Jackson scored on Gilbert's sacrifice, tieing the score.

Their inability to give adequate serv-
Ice is the one thing which has re-
tarded business most during recent
months. They are in need Of every
thing that money will buy to make
the extensions and improvements
needed to give the service a returning
prosperity requires. Any one who
has studied the trend Of security
prices during recent years must have
been impressed with the reluctance Of
the inventor to venture into railway
securities. But until the railroads are
able to tempt the investor back by
reasonable assurance of fair earn
ings, the transportation systems of the
country will continue to hamper
business by inadequate service.
Car loadings during the fall indicate
that transportation capacity has stood
still for two years, most striking evil
dence of the seriousness Of the rail-
way situation. In his Bulletin Of
Transportation, dated Nov. II, Brook
mire points out that during the past
ten years the industrial capacity of
the country has been mounting rapid
ly, the estimated increase being thirty
five per cent. During the same period
railroads have been unable to add to
their rolling stock, and there has
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1922-12-30

In view of the demonstrated value
Of the system to the banking fabric
Of the country during the stressful
period of 1920 and 1921 this is strange
talk. But there is, unfortunately. ba-
sis for 1t. People demanded for years
an elastic banking system, one that
would meet the demands Of rapidly
expanding business, as our Federal
reserve system did in 1919. But these
same people forgot that what is elias
tic Is also necessarily contractile from
the very law of it's being. If it were
not 1t would of necessity break, and
the damage would then be much more
serious. So when the system began
the contracting process, and the de-
fIation of business ensued, those sim
pie souls who believe that the bubble
viii never burst were grievously
shocked. They haven't gotten over 1t
yet, though, thanks to the beneficent
operations of the Federal reserve sys-
tenn, the banking position Of the coun-
try has undergone betterment which
has placed 1t In a position almost I'M
paralleled in the annals Of finance.
Fortunately for the country radical
programs rarely materialize into &C
tual legislation. But even the "ges-
ture" is serious. and we shall al

breathe more easily after the next
Congress has demonstrated it's true
character 1t is to be hoped that the
President will not find it necessary
to call 1t in special session. In the
meantime the high pressure generated
by the fervor of campaign oratory
will have had an opportunity to sub
side.
In the meantime 1t is undoubtedly
true that the record Of accomplish
ment during the past year has super
imposed upon many minds, recently
permeated with gloom as a result Of
the process of deflation, a distinctly
hopeful spirit. Confidence in the fu-
ture has taken the place of brooding
over the ills of the past. Unemploy-
ment is no longer a problem; the iron
and steel industry, that safest index
of industrial conditions, is improving;
the farmers position is becoming rel
atively more favorable; the banking
position is secure; conditions abroad
at least show hopeful signs of i'm
provement. 1t Is accordingly reason
able that most business men and
bankers should feel that the first half
of 1923 will witness prosperous bust
ness, and are hopeful that the whole
year will prove a good one.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1922-12-30

such fool proposals as that all school
children who want to take a look at
the President shall be carried to
Washington free. The average Con-
gresham seems to feel that one of the
easiest ways to convince the people
back home that he is on the job is
to take a whack at the railroads. How
long will the country continue to per-
NIT this harassment of one of the
most vitality necessary services to
prosperous business? Just so long will
the investors money go where 1t can
command more secure returns.
Radical Legislation
1t is curious, but significant, fact
that in most of the talk of radical
legislation, of which we have heard SO
much since the recent election, those
agencies which are most prominently
to the fore as objects of condemnation
are the railroads and the banks.
George w. Norris, governor of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia,
recently declared that the Federal re-
serve system will be in peril unless
every citizen lets 1t be known that
he is absolutely opposed to any repeal
of the act or to any statute that
would impair or destroy the independ-
ence and utility of the system"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1922-12-30

been an actual decrease in total mile
age operated-an alarming condition.
He goes on, ''it Is at present impossible
to attract into transportation the
capital needed to increase facilities to
a point commensurate with the indus
trial position Of the country. It is
impossible under existing conditions
of transportation for industry as a
whole to expand to any marked ex-
tent. This problem is so directly
connected with future prosperity
that 1t is time for business men of the
country to forget any past causes of
animosity against the railroads and
to unite to use their best efforts in
seeing to 1t that the carriers under
reasonable government control are
given fair conditions of operating
rates and costs. 1t is the only way
in which the transportation field will
once more attract the capital so ur-
gently needed for its rehabilitation
and development"
Attention has been called this week
by the Association of Railway Execu-
tives to the fact that there are pend
ing in Congress no less than 134 bills
affecting carriers, ranging in subject
from important rate changes and reg
ulation Of relations with employees to

during the past year and startling
improvements in design. construction

America in the forefront Of progress
stve nations. We now hold the worlds
records for: Speed, 224 miles per
hour; altitude, $1,000 feet; endurance,
thtrty-five hours, and distance in non
stop flight, 1850 miles.
BY scientific research the national
advisory committee for aeronautics
has for the first time developed means
of determining performance and meas
uring the forces and loads on an air
plane in flight, which will lead to con-
tipued improvement in design.
The air mail service. in flying over
1000. 600 miles without fatality, and
safely carrying 100000 letters, has
demonstrated the practicability OF or
sanized air transportation. at least IN
the day time over regular route and
schedule.
The Navy has developed catapult
and an arresting device for the TAX
ing-off and landing of airplanes on
tho decks of airplane carriers and bat
tIeships. This development viii per
nit the use of small landing fields
and roofs of buildings as air ternn-
mails. Increased reliability of aircraft
engines is evidenced by the adoption
Of a 3OO-hour full speed test without
adjustment or replacement, as com
pared to the previous standard endur-
ance test of fifty hours.
Commercial aviation has made sub
stantial progress. The aeromarfne
airways on its New York-Atlantic
