RAILROAD HAS WATER WAGON
Contrivance Said to Work Success
fully In Minimizing the Dlscom-
forts Of Dusty Tracks.

An appliance for sprinkling the
right-of-way over the dusty stretches
Of track has been invented by w. H.
Whalen, superintendent Los Angeles
division, and Is being tried out with
apparent success by, the Southern Pa
cific on its lines between Indio and
Palm Springs. heretofore very dusty
section Of track. According to the Lit
erary Digest, writer in the Southern
Pacific Bulletin (San Francisco says:
1.-THE sprinkler consists Of perfor-
ated pipe attached beneath the water
tender of the locomotive in such way
that water is sprinkled on the track
as the train passes over it. According
to Mr.. Whalen the experiments have
proved very satisfactory, and South
ern Pacific is planning the installation
Of these sprinklers on all its passenger
locomotives operating In desert coun-
try. The scheme is an innovation In
railroad operation. The Southern Pa
ciflc has made various attempts to
allay dust by sprinkling oil over its
right Of way in desert country, but
none Of them has proved as effective
as the railroad water wagon"

Dream Of Death Fulfilled.

To dream Of an accident three times
and then witness Its fulfillment has
been the unhappy experience just re-
corded OF a Hobart (Tasmania) man.
A laborer employed by the Hobart
city corporation was turning the hand
winch OF crane The jib of the crane
swung around and wire rope came
into contact with the high tension cleo
trio wires overhead. The result was
that the laborer was electrocuted. A
week before the accident one of the
mans workmates was uneasy in his
mind. He was troubled by strange
dream that was repeated three times.
In his dream he saw fatal accident
at the crane. 1t occurred in exactly
the same way as that which caused
the actual accident He told his mates
OF the dream, which had made such a
deep impression upon him. and 1t was
the subject Of considerable discussion
The fulfillment Of the dream came as
a shock to those who had been made
familiar with the story.

FREE SEEDS KILLED.

BY a narrow margin of three
votes, the appropriation of $360,O00
for the distribution Of free seeds
was defeated in Congress.
Free seeds have been opposed by
Secretaries of Agriculture for many
years. but this is the first time since
the precedent was established that
the free-seed forces have met defeat.
Many people will miss this little
courtesy, but they will be satisfied

Really Only one Occasion.

. 1t has often been a matter o. specula-
ton as to when, if any time, a man
would feel perfectly at ease carrying a
doll. This perplexing question, one that
has no doubt disturbed the mental equi-
librium of many psychologists. was
solved the other night by two gentle
men who had given the matter much
thought. The solution Of the. prob
lem was that the only time that
male biped appeared unabashed while
transporting a doll in his arms was
when he was returning, In triumph,

CAUTION no AUTO owNERs.

It is better to breathe cold air
than carbon monoxide gas in the
opinion of r. w. Carpenter, profess
sor of farm engineering at the Uri-
versity of Maryland, who cautions
automobile owners against the dam
ger Of shutting garage doors on cold
mornings while starting their MI
chimes.
Al considerable number of people
are killed every year, says Mr.. Car
penter, because they do not under
stand that the exhaust gases from
an automobile in cold weather often
contain large amounts OF carbon
monoxide gas which is a deadly
poison. Carburetion is poor in cold
weather, explains Mr.. Carpenter
and instead Of complete combustion
which would result in carbon dioxide
gas, the gasoline is only partially
exploded and produces the deadly
coloriess and odorless carbon mon
oxide.
The simple remedy OF opening the
garage doors while the engine IS
running, Is Mr.. Carpenters sugges-
ton for preventing talities-

NO WONDER.

Statistics show the average Amer
lean farmer will get this year a net
income Of s465. That's a little
better than 81 a day. 1t isn't the
pay of one man alone. It repre-
sents the earnings of himself, his
wife and children. 1t is the pay for
getting up before daylight and
working until after dark, in the mud

REoRGANIzING FOR BUSINESS.

REORGANIZING FOR BUSINESS.
A very fine program has been ar
ranged for the annual meeting OF
the Maryland Agricultural Society
which convenes in Frederick, Janu
airy 10, II and IL. There will be
numerous speakers who will have
worth while things to say to tbs
farmers Of Maryland and in every
way the scheduled features promise
help and inspiration.
The vital part of the program,
however, will be wrapped up in the
reorganization Of the Maryland
Agricultural Society to take al
vantage of the great opportunities
which have arisen as the result OF
the formtion of county farm bu-
reaus. The opportunity ahead is
big. 1t is pretty safe prediction
that the Maryland Agricultural So
ciety, the Maryland Farm Bureau,
will be able to take on functions and
to render q service to the farmers OF
the State which formerly have not
been possible. Never before in the
history of farm organizations IN
Maryland, has there been the sup
port from county units which is now
guaranteed to the State association!

SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG.

Coal is the most efficient of our
great industries. There are not
enough miners part Of the time,
and too many miners the rest Of the

and yet the American public has to
suffer or be robbed. Coal profits
Of the operators are seldom normal

teller and he put the oil products in

Dear Brother Tagg: Perhaps you
will remember that when | was at your
home last February, some excitement
was caused by the loss of mF tooth
pick; after Mr.. Tagg found it, | eX-
planned it was made from the tail bone
of a sturgeon. / remarked at the time
that | would send you M this spring;
YOU will pleased find inclosed a tooth
pick, made from a very large stur-
geon by Brother Leslie d. Wood eX-
pressly for Brother Tagg.
As Brother Sinkinson and | have
just returned from a three days So
journ in the fishing camp Of Capt. b.
G. Wood, it may not be out of place
to set before the readers of the Pro
testant some facts concerning this I'M
portant indusery. Captain Wood has
two fishing camps, one at Bay Side,
on the Jersey Shore, about seventy
miles below Philadelphia, and another
at Cape Shore, about six miles from
Cape May, on the Delaware Bay.
At the latter named place is located
the finest sturgeon fishing and cavaire
packing plant on the Delaware Bay.
What makes this camp of special in
terest to us is that its owner is a loyal
Methodist Protestant and that a large
percentage of the profits find their way
into the several treasures of u de-
nomination. Brother Wood began his
career as fatherless boy, without a
dollar; by sheer merit he has worked
his way from the bottom until he is
said to be the largest operator in stur-
geon and c~aviare on the Delaware
Bay.
In early life he consecrated not only
his voice and spare time, but also his
talents and pocket-book to the service
of the Lord Jesus; always ready to
help in the work of the church, he has
found "there is that which scattereth
and yet increaseth;" so that notwith-
standing the general hard times, his
additional expense for improvements,
he has given five hundred dollars for
our new church. But | must hasten,
for I have written very little about
sturgeon fishing as yet. In passing
want to add, however, that although

delegate to the New Jersey Annual
Conference, and although We might
