saw in The Times that they are
trying to put Al Smith up as can
didate for President.
The stand he takes on the prohi-
bition question ought to settle that.
He isn't fit for President. The PEG
pie Of Indiana want Sam RaIston for
our next President, not only Demo
Gratis but Republicans as well, for
we know he is a straight man. What
he did for the Hoosier State when
he was Governor proves he is a
straight, honest man and will do the
right thing if he gets to the White
House.
Boost RaIston for his honesty, up
rightness. good principles, for this
surely is the sentiment of Morgan

I have been a reader of The Times
since it was a little Sun and 1 am

Science

Shipments Of livestock on Ameri-
can railroads are large in volume,
and uneven owing to seasonal fac
tors. Consequently the care of the
stock in transit is one Of the big
problems entering into the prepare
ton of the Nations food supply.
A citizen of Maiden, Wash, observ-
ing the difficulties of feeding the car
loads-at times almost train loads
Of hogs passing through that point,
devised a method of automatic feed
ing that is likely to have wide adop,
ton. A locomotive pushes a car, car
rying a supply of shelled corn, along
track adjacent to the stock train.
Compressed air from the locomotive
passes through hopper Of the feed
car into which grain is fed by work
men or by gravity. The compressed
air picks up the grain and shoots it
out through a nozzle inserted be-
tween the Stats of the stock car.
The hopper serves as a, measure.
Railroad officials expect it will be
possible in the future to provision
stock trains without hating them.
