western territory. The new rates,
designed to remove undue preju-
dice" in favor Of certain localities.
will go into effect June 30.
Memphis complained that the
present rate adjustment unduly

Southern Arkansas iobbers com
planned that 1t unduly preferred
Central and Western Arkansas Job

port and Natchez cOntended that 1t
unduly preferred New Orleans and
other river cities and certain In
terror jobbing cities.
There is no uniformity in these
rates, the commissions decision
said. Intrastate rates in Arkansas
and Southern Missouri are generally
lower than the corresponding rates
on Interstate traffic for equal dis
tances. bridge tolls considered. Diff

Receivers Under Use Of

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.--Dr.
John A. Kolmer, one of the heads Of
the Research institute for Cutaneous
Medicine and professor Of bacteriol-
ogy in the Graduate School OF the
University Of Pennsylvania, yester-
day reported the complete recovery
Of q patient suffering with sleeping
sickness after several injections q
the Mayo serum for the disease.

panies recovery from encephalitis, or
sleeping sickness, was entirely ab

The PhiladeIphia bacteriologist said
he still had some OF the serum DR..
RosenoW had entrusted to him and
would distribute 1t to phySicians who
might care TO use It In the treatment
OF sleeping sickness.
Seven New Cases.
Since Friday seven more cases Of
epidemic encephalitis have been re-
ported to the health department. pr,
"A. a. Cairns, CHIEF medical Inspector,

Handy lncinerator.

An incinerator in which to burn
refuse should be in every home, as 1t
lessons the danger of fire and prevents
burning papers from being scattered
by the wind. When it is full it is car
ried out away from the buildings and
set on fire.
A piece of small mesh chicken wire
about three feet high and ten feet long
will do for the cylinder part, rein
forced by pieces of heavy wire dashed
TO the top and bottom and four pieces
up and down the sides. Two pieces
three feet square will form the top and
bottom and may be fastened to heavy
wire circles and the bottom fastened
to the cylinder all around. The top
one, or lid, can be hinged to one side
and piece of loose wire placed on
the side to fasten it down when the
refuse Is being burned.

not taken the time to study the nature
of the currant complain that their
bushes have run OUT and no longer
give the results they formerly did.
The fault lies not so often with the
currants as with the person himself.
He has not used the pruning knife
properly.
Currants can be trained to grow in
almost any way desirable, even on
trellis work and stakes, but the best
plan is to grow them as bush. Half
a dozen good. sturdy currant bushes
properly handled should supply fam
lily all the currants needed.
They can be set to the best advan-
tage in the spring and when you or
der from the nursery be sure to specify
two-year-old bushes. Set them four
feet apart, if you plant more than one
row. The first two years it is neces-
sary to practice clean culture in order
to give them the proper start. Plant,
however, when they are dormant and
! If you can't do this, early fall planting
is advisable.
The currant does best in cool cor
ner and in retentive soil. A good clay
subsoil or even clay loan seems to
give excellent results There should
be few currants in every well-bal-
anced garden. With careful pruning
they will continue to produce good
fruit year after year.

BEST WAY TO CONTROL LICE
Spray Trees With Black Leaf No. 40,
a Standard Commercial To-
bacco Extract.

The most satisfactory way to con-
troll lice on fruit trees is by spraying
them with Black Leaf 40, which is a
standard commercial tobacco extract.
This tobacco solution can be purchased
at most any store handling spray ma
terials, and you will find directions on
the can for its use.
1t is little difficult to satisfactorily
control lice after they have become Sc
rious. In regular spraying this to-
bacco extract is added to the regular
spray solution, as it is just as effective
ewhen used in combination with other
materials as when used alone.

ducLlOn L-oM nxotc ineoner10 SuIrure
or from developing less desirable land
takes place slowly. Improvements in
our country which increases labor or
utilization of less desirable land in
voIve higher prices for food unless
the farmer is willing to take less
profits.
The greatest problem of our nation
is to have men on farms that can
produce food at prices that the con-
sumner can afford to pay. The farmer
has the job of feeding the world. He
cannot loaf on the job He must do
his best to select crops, livestock,
feed, bread and conduct his business
economically so as to furnish food at
low cost and at the same time he
should have a reasonable return if
agriculture is to be made permanent,
profitable, and comfortable.
Civilization Needs the Farmer
The solution of our food problem is
directly connected with the land prob
lem. II there is proper adjustment
between the value of land and the
other factors of production and the
prices, Of farm products then 1t will
be possible for the farmers to attack
this problem with the hope of arriv-
ing at satisfactory solution. II land
values are run up beyond their value
for production purposes in order that
the speculator, be he farmer or real
estate dealer, may make money then
the real farmer will find farming un-
profitable. The brighter and more
ambitious young men will be at
tracted away from the farm and the
farmers as a class will deteriorate.
This in turn will mean that our civil
ization will go backward instead of
forward
Every citizen is therefore interested
in the land problem and should use
his influence to see that spectators
do not run the selling value beyond
production value. Fictitious land
values spell higher cost Of living and
ultimately lower class Of citizens 80
farmers.
