PLEA FOR zoNING ORDINANCE
Kansas City Newspaper Makes Strong
Arguments for the Universal
Adoption of Plan.

Protection for the homes and boule-
cards of Kansas City, Kan, can be
had only through zoning, Roy r. Hos
ford, city building inspector has con
cluded. Such evils as Mr.. Hosford
enumerates, the placing of shops or
stores on boulevard and residence ter
ritory, the building of garages in front
of homes and the failure to set back
residences certain and uniform dis
lance from the street, call for general
regulation which only zoning ordi-
nance can give.
1t is possible for group of property
owners in some sections of city to
yet together and secure restrictions
that will protect their buildings for
Il period of years. Where this action
has been taken not only more beauti-
full homes or better business structures
have been the result, but property val
ues have increased or have been stead
lily maintained. But this kind Of ac-
tion is haphazard and often is only of
temporary value. The question may
be settled once for all, and for the
whole city, by the working out of o
Zoning ordinance.
1t Is such an ordinance that Kansas
City, No., must have soon, and that
Kansas City, Kan, is planning to OBJ

Prairie DOGS Litter,

Statements are often made by ranch
men and others that prairie dogs raise
more than one litter in season. but
we have no evidence to substantiate
these statements. From records we
have in the office of the state entomol-
ogist the young of the plains prairie
dog are born during the month of
April, and possibly the first part of
May. The number of young varies
from three to six. The breeding sea.
son may extend over period of three
or four weeks. In number of gravid
females examined on the same date,
the size of the embryo varied from
that of currant to that of an Eng
lish walnut. Prairie dogs. at the pres
ent time, occupy about 100000
acres In the state and occur In 55

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
That the business of the nation Is
turning more and more to highway
transportation is indicated by statis-
tics on motor-vehicle registration as
of July l, compiled by the bureau of
public roads of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. Registration
of passenger cars, taXis, busses, and
motor trucks totaled 10,620,471 on this
date, an increase Of 1915, which is
healthy growth, as the first half Of
the year Is the off season for registra-
tion of new vehicles.
The surprising fact, however, is that
Of the 1914 increase in registra-
ton; motor trucks constituted 116, ,7O1,
against 33,O3O passenger cars and 5,443
taxis and busses. This means an in
crease of over 16 per cent of the num-
ber OF motor trucks at the beginning
Of the year. Figures are not available
to show what part of the increase of
SAB, or nearly II per cent, in the taxi
and bus registration is due to the in
crease in the number of busses ,travers-
ing rural and suburban routes, but 1t
is very probable tat n considerable
part of the increase is due to the de-
| velopment of this new form of trans
pOrtation.
1t has been frequently said that the
traffic is always ready and waiting
when good roads are built, and that
the commercial vehicle as n class Is
more handicapped by lack of good
roads than the pleasure vehicle. The

PASTURE REQUIRED FOR HOGS
Sufficient Grass for Sow and Her Lit
tor Should Not Be Expensive to
tho Farmer.

The economy OF having plenty Of
meat, lard, sausage and other products
from hogs seems not to have occurred
to many farmers, else more would raise
their meat. But it is fact in some
communities very few hogs are raised.
Z For best results pasture is required
for enough pigs to be raised for meat
enough to do the average farmer. But
sufficient for a sow and her litter
should not be very expensive. A small
area of land fenced so the land may be
sown to two or three different crops
will go long way toward furnishing
economical pork for the farm home.

SAYS HABIT CLAIMS

Industrial Commission Chairman
Blames Many Accidents To
Tendency

SAN FRANCISCO, July Cts
habit chains" more than careless
ness.
They're to blame for most acci
dents, according to Will J. French,
chairman of the California Indus
trial Accident Commission.
And they're as old, he declares,
as human nature itself
"There's a growing tendency to
regulate our actions to habit"
French explains. "Thus the chains
are liable to bind us more and more
as the hurry and confusion Of mod
ern life increases.
"A person meeting new condi-
tions constantly must think how
he'H face them. But where some
thing becomes a habit, hen proba-
bly act without thought
Perhaps a man crosses n certain
street for years, always glancing to
the left for automobiles before he
leaves the curb. Then one day ss ! e
is about to step into the street, he
hears a fire engine siren. Before
he becomes mentally alert to his
danger, he starts across, And tht
engine runs him down.
"a corners jury viii aseribe his
death to carelessness But that's
all big mistake. 1t is ? case where
the natural action of the muscles
trained through years of habit
functions more speedily th2n the
brain.

ing needed. Everybody got out &

ton, Mr.. Oliver says, and farmers
there fully realize the danger. Very
few, if any cotton growers there,
are experimenting with the Florida
plan, most of them having used
either dry calcium arsenate or mo-
Iasses mixtures as poison.
Mr.. Oliver estimates the increas-
ed acreage this year in Plains com
munity at around 10 per cent, and
believes that with perfect weather
from this time until the harvest
season the farmers will produce
good crop. Without good weather,
he believes there will be practical
ly no cotton made in that part of
the county.
w II. Anderson, Leslie banker,
was asked about conditions in his
section, and was pessimistic in his
views He says that few farmers in
that section have equipment with
which to use dry calcium arsenate
and that they have been using mo-
lasses mixtures exclusively. No one
so far as he knows, has tried the
Florida plan in that community,
except f. A. Hines, who has an
experimental plat of 2 acres, where
the plan is being demonstrated by
agents of the Seaboard Air Linz.
The poisoning season there has
about ended, Mr.. Anderson says,
with farmers devoting their entire
time to picking up fallen Squares
and blowing their lands rapidly. In
continuous hot sunshine lies the sal
walton of farmers in that part of
the county, according to Mr.. An
derson, who states that one promi-
nent farmer told him recently that
he was able to pillow in his fields
only 4 1-2 days out of a week, be-
cause of continued rains. South
of the railroad at Leslie, Mr.. An
derson says, the cotton is very
small, a weak stand having been
secured, and the plants are at least
three weeks late, due to the rains.

Dawson entered the South Georgia

ming good portion of their games,
she is now third in the list, having
won six, lost five and tied one.
The Dawson Baseball association
has endeavored to so pick players
as to secure the service of good
players, those who field well as well
as being good hitters. Several new
men will don the Dawson uniform
this week, among them, Clarence
Rawson, brother to Eddie, Daw-
sons catcher. Clarence will assist
Eddie in receiving. Drummer and
Borroughs will be given tryoul
at shortstop, and both are report
ed to be exceptionally good ball
players. Center garden will be oc-
cupied by Rosenfield, a boy who
has made good in his profession
and has a reputation as an excep-
tionally good fielder. Vanguard,
formerly with Columbia in the
South Atlantic League, takes up his
duties at second base for Dawson
and his playing at that position in
Albany for the locals Saturday was
exceptionally good. Comisky will
handle all that wander about third
sack, and is said to be a good hit
ter. Blunt Morrison will arrive ear
ly in the week to assist the present
pitching staff. With a few days
play, it is generally thought that
very noticeable betterment in the

dent. Dawson has had no bad
team, but it is thought an improve
ment will be shown this week.
