ONE BOAT IN FIVE
is PASSENGER SHIP

Statistics compiled by the United
States Shipping Board show that one.
fifth of the ship tonnage of the en-
tire world is made UP of vessels with
passenger accommodations. Accord
ing to the research bureau of the
governmental shipping body, the
worlds passenger ship tonnage totals
12,275,000 gross tons, and numbers
2,100 vessels, flying the flags Of 33
nations. and possesses total accom-
modations for approximately 100000
passengers.
This bureau also claims that the
steamship Leviathan, of $3.50 tons,
is the largest vessel. in the world--a
claim that from time to time has been
disputed by those who assert that the
White Star Line steamship Majestic,
British vessel, is the larger. The
Leviathan, however, is the only Amer
lean ship OF over $4,000 tons, while
Great Britain boasts of eight ships
well over this tonnage, while France,
Germany and Holland each have
one such vessel.
According to the statistics the
United States can boast Of only 81
vessels out Of passenger fleet Of
297 which are in overseas or offshore
service. Great Britain has tn YES
sells OF this class in overseas trade; ,
France has 2O4 such vessels; Japan,

That the situation is alarming was
found by R. S. Bristol, assistant ex-

Poultry Raising Now
Bona Eide Industry

AT one time, not So long ago, it
was thought in Idaho that poultry
raising was not an industry" remi-
nisces Prem Moore, University Of
Idaho specialist, in survey Of de-
velopments in his field. 1T was re-
garded sa provider of pin money for
women. The general order of poul-
try production in Idaho, until recent
years, was small flock Of hens with
no particular care.
Poultry production now he con-
tinues, "is regarded as a part of tht
farm operation and by many is being
considered as major source of in
Z come. New and modern poultry
houses of large dimensions have re-
placed the old chicken coops. The 100
hen flock is no longer recognized as
an economic unit. 1t has been found
that the labor necessary to properly
care for 100 henssas nearly as great
as that required to handle 500 hens.
The housing cost is not much less.
Poultry bears the same relation to
agriculture as that of any other crop
or farm product. A good flock of hens
on the fam may be the source Of a
substantial income. The flock should
be large enough to justify the invest
ment in labor and equipment. A small
flock may be menace rather than
an asset. Large flocks when properly
bred, housed, and fed, will produce
sufficient income to justif ythe neces-
sary investment which will make the
work of caring for the fowls interest
ing as well as profitable.
Mr.. Moore is now recommending a
flock Of 400 hens as a minimum unit.

FIELD OF ELECTRICITY IS EXPANDING ONE

p The electrical industry will lin
creasingly demand men who under
stand the principles of electricity and
who are also trained in some allied,
specialized industry.
How to Gain Preparations?
How can the farm boy prepare him
self to enter this new division of cleo
tricity's opportunities? It, depends
upon his present stage Of preparation.
1t is first Of all positively necessary
to know the broad laws pertaining to
electricity. No one can know too
much, nor experiment too intensively
on the nature of electric current and
it's peculiarities.
Handling of electric equipment
small dynamos, switches, batteries,
radio sets, etc.-and getting literal
obsession for electricity gives a
groundwork. By the time this stake
is passed it will be known whether or
not electricity is liked we'll enough to
study 1t for a profession. For from
this time on electricity must be keen
ly liked by one who would follow the
profession.
II the interest is deep enough, good
texts are available and can be used in
preliminary book learning" on the
subject.
High schools lately are providing
good courses for the general study Of
electricity. Trade schools and col
leges are other sources Of training for
the advanced student. 1t must be
borne in mind that the degree Of
study is almost limitless. Studying
is lifelong requirement in the field
Of electricity and one can advance
only in accord with the amount of
preparation he acquires
Must Combine Other Subjects.
AS in other specialized occupations,
however, the study Of electricity alone
is not sufficient. A good plan Is to
make mental appraisal of what you
would like to hook up with your cleo
trical training. For the farm boy, this
may be combination of electrical en-
ginering, specializing in agriculture.
Or the preference may go to sales
manship managership Of rural sub
station, or any one Of hundred
things.
Should Seek More Information.
The more information and discus
sion Of various types Of work in cleo
tricity, the better Directors of cleo
trical education are usually willing to
offer this assistance and advice. But
the prime essential for the boy who
has determined to study electricity IL
to keep on with the idea until he
proves his aptitude or finds himself
disinterested or unsuited to the occu-
patton II his liking for 1t persists,
there is nothing to do but keep on
keeping on, which really isn't applica-
BILE to electricity alone, but to almost
any occupation.

The Old Woodpile

In the back yard under he'maple tree,
That's where the woodpile used to be,
The rickety saw-buck, the battered
edge,
The second best ak, with the blunted
edge
You'd spit on your hands, and saw
and saw
When your dad was around! His
word was law!
Dad, maybe, drove for the mail to
town;
Then a window opened and Nav
looked down
And you on the saw-buck, moppin
your head,
Sayin' by jimmy, visit you was dead!
And then Nav smiled and told you
OF young Abe Lincoln, a-splittin' rails,
But you reckoned you wouldn't be
President,
II you chopped for a lifetime! Then
Nav went
Hollerin' back, fore you could begin:
"Tm bakin' puddin' with raisins I'M"
Twas dusk and the crickets calm,
when
Dad drove up the lane from town
again;
The big box back Of the stove over
flowed
With the wood you'd chopped! The
fire glowed!
And supper was ready! You took
your place,
Between the two, and your dad said
grace;
You gulped your vittles, SO you could
begin
Eatin' the puddin' with raisins in!
If you could go back to the maple
tree,
Back where the woodpile used to be,
Wouldn't you make the old chips fly?
Wouldn't you pile the wood-box
high?
What would you do when your dad
said grace
And you saw the light on your
Mothers face
If you were offered one golden day,
Out Of your Boyhood- what would you
say?

WHO PAYS THE. SUGAR TARIFF,

WIN FAYS III. SOGAh TAkIFF
In all the extensive propaganda
which the refiners. and other capital
lists who control the great bulk of
Cubas sugar industry issue for the
purpose Of persuading the American
people to abolish or reduce the i'm
port duty on this foreign grown sugar
the claim is always advanced that the
tariff is added to the selling price of
sugar and that the consumer pays the
bill.
aInstallking to Gubans about the. tariff
the propagandists say that the reason
the Cuban sugar producer cannot
make larger profits is because he must
pay 1.76 cents a pound to get his sugar
into the United States.
Both of these statements cannot be
true. If the American consumer pays
the tariff the Cuban sugar grower and
manufacturer do not pay it and vice
versa. AS to who actually does the
paying the best possible evidence is
afforded by the fact that the COM
panies engaged in producing Cubar
sugar for the American market are
willing to spend money lavishly in an
eort to ffhave the tariff removed
Facts About Sugar.

Electricity! What fascinating,
practical study it permits. Is there a
farm boy with soul SO dead, who never
to himself hath said, II want to know
all about it?" It's doubtful if there
is such boy.
Often the flaming curiosity to know
all about electricity fingers. Grammar
school interest grows into high school
interest in the subject. Smatterings
of knowledge gained in wireless
classes, radio classes and physics
classes in high school serve to whet
the pervading inquisitiveness about
electricity.
This Is an Electrical Age.
For boy so engrossed in this in
teresting field, larger opportunities
are in store. This is an electrical
age! Or it might be said that it is
only the beginning of an electrical
age. New Steinmetzes, Edisons and
other electrical geniuses are still
wearing knee trousers, figuratively
speaking.
But the farm boy who is interested
in electricity need not be discouraged
because he fears no genius is present
in him. There are thousands of inter-
mediate inches to be filled before
even one electrical genius is dis
covered.
Student Must Specialize.
Much has already been studied
about electricity as a science. The
present great opportunities lie in the
field of applied electricity, in putting
electricity to work. lit is a day Of
specialization in electricity, as in
other professions. And in the appli-
cation, the Harvesting of electricity
for practical work, there will be
need for hundreds Of thousands Of
trained workers.
Sometimes an electrician" is
thought of only as some one who fixes
the lights in the city houses or one
who works in an electrical shop.
How circumscribed in this conception.
Many Needs for Good Men.
Think of the automobiles, the 'ra-
dos, the industrial plants, the cleo
trical laboratories, the electrical
equipment concerns, the power
houses, the manufacturing plants, that
require the services of trained cleo
tricians. And there are hundreds of
similar fields that each year eagerly
call for young electrical workers.
OF extreme regency is the. study of
electricity in its relationship to agri-
cultur. Why not extend electric pow.
er lines to every farm in the country
and aid the farmer with modern
methods? There are immense posi-
bilities here for the farm boy who is
inclined toward electricity.
Rural Mindedness Real Need.
When the time comes for greater
use Of electricity on the farm, who is
going to design new electrically-oper-
ated machinery? Who will be capable
Of advising genuine needs and practi-
cal ideas? 1t will be the trained cleo
trician who has the agricultural point
of view--the insight into agriculture's
needs and willingness to adopt electri-
cal equipment.
So it is seen that present-day study
of electricity offers more, and in
reality demands more, than mere
study of electricity and it's elementary
characteristics. !.

No more thoroughly economically

ed in the form of oil road-surfacing
recently removed from around the

at the new plant were chronicled-
the lamp-black salvaged from the
gas and used as fuel, the oil wash
ed out and used to make more gas,
to say nothing of system for US
ing even the necessary water over
and over.
The surfacing was about to be
discarded when it fell under the
eagle-eye of the plants efficiency
expect. An idea was born and put
into execution, and now the old
boiler fills it's lungs with steam
generated from dead pavement. 1t
