MAN WITH THE SC00P8II0VEL llnrrittilp of IUHhmmI Mrwnan's lA(f Told at Arbitration Hear lug In (lilm( ldit Wct-k Chicago, Dec. 24 The man with Ihe Droop shovel, and hi hardship and poverty, was under the spotlight at the arbitration hearing. In which 6 5.000 employes of western roads figure. In Chicago last week. The roan In the locomotive cab who shov els coal Into the fiery, red maw of his pet engine hour after hour and day after day, sometimes as many as thirty tons a day, told his story for the benefit of the arbitrators. And besides him at the hearing was the railroad hostler. The host ler Is the Inconspicuous fellow who grooms and oils and cares for the lo romotlve while It rests In the round house. It is said that few people ever hear of or see the rialroad host ler but, according to testimony at the Inquiry, If the hostler is Incom petent or Ignorant and turns the lo comotlve over to the engineer In an unsatisfactory condition at any time a serious disaster may follow. It whs the scoop shovel artisan however, who perhaps attracted the most attention. There was Henry Koie. a fireman on the Chicago and Northwestern road, running out of Esranaha, Mich., who told the story of frequent lay-offs, loss of seniority long and tedious trins reaulring vast amount of shoveling, and low pay. It was Koae who said he had not been able to get work for a month or six weeks and If It had not been for aid given him by relatives he and his family would have been in a starving condition. A typical hostler was I'. J. McClo- ry who works for the Chicago June Hon Railway. He told of laboring twelve hours a day and getting 16 1-3 cents an hour, or $2.00 for a day's work. He wunted more mon ey and needed it but was forced to work twelve hours each day (to ob tain nis meager iz.ov. Another hostler, Frank Halloway of Chicago, working for the Burling ton road, test I tied that he receives $3 a day but Is forced to work twelve hours t oacqulre that sum. Mr. Hal loway said that in 1913 he had work ed every Sunday but three and had kept o nthe Job all holidays includ ing Christinas day that he might support his family. This witness said he had tried to keep up the pace this year, that the strain had been too great of late, however, and had caused him during 1914 to lay oft a total of thirteen days. An epitome of the points made by the flrerfien and hostler witnesses follows: Their occupation Is exceedingly precarious insofar as steadiness of employment Is concerned. They are under paid even during the periods when they do work. The installation of heavier loco motives has reduced the earnings of Individual firemen and likewise has cut down the fireman's working force by from 50 to 60 per cent. During the last two or three years the cost of living has materially in creased not only at home but away from home where firemen must be when their work keeps them out on the road. There is more Catarru In this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be In curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with lo cal treatment, pronounced it incura ble. Science has proven Catarrh to e a constitutional disease, ana .therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cur', man ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To ledo, Ohio, is the only Conbtliutionul cure on the market. It Is taken in ternally. It acts directly on the blood nd mucous surfaces of the system. 'They offer one hundred dollars for .any case it fails to cure. Send for .circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J. Cheney & Co.. To ledo, O. Sold by druggists. 75c.

Uy bis de termination of this fact and bis sub sequent designation of the lands as of this character, they become en terable under the enlarged home stead law. The states of California. Idaho, Oregon and Wyoming have been chiefly affected by action taken dur ing November, areas ranging from 120,000 to 285,000 acres having been designated in these states. The total area thus designated In the 12 western stales to which the enlarg ed homestead laws apply was some what more than 228.400,000 acres at the end of November. During' November nearly 17,000 acres of lands lu Colorado that bad been Included in con! land withdraw-j ais were rpwiorrw iu rini, u umio than 16.000 acres In Wyoming valu- ble for water power were with drawn from entry. The total restor ations during the month were 17,76 atr8 and the total withdrawals dur ing the same period were 18.095 ac res, the withdrawals for this period thus slightly exceeding the restora tions.

Some of the most promising varieties of these are Kat lr, feterita, dwarf milo, and kaoli ang. These crops are well known for their ability to withstand dry conditions. In fact, they have been adopted rs standard galn crops in large portions of western Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas, where thy yield better than corn. One r eh Ron why they have not been introduced more extensively In western Nebtas ka is because of a lack of sufficient early maturing varieties. The diffi culty has now bee npractlcally over come by the selection and introduc tion of new and earlier types by the United States Department of Agri culture and different experiment x,;i tlons. The feeding value of the grain produced Is practically equal to that of corn. Farmers are advised by the Nebr aska Experiment Station tp grow a small plat but not to be too ready to grow large acreages of the new grain sorghums until experience has been had regarding their methods of cul ture and local adaptability. The de partment of experimental agronomy at the station would be glad to bear of the results secured.
