Cuss Words That Won Quarters for Railroad Men
SOMETHING more than ten years ago Tom Harrison, railroad engineer,
leaned far out of the window of his engine cub one day nnd shot a steady
stream of profnnlty at Harry Robertson, the conductor of his train. The two
and Just returned from a saloon.
"Neither do I," snld Harrison, nnd
then ltobertson climbed unsteadily up Into the cab they were still half full
of whisky and they shook hands over the proposition.
Now the Itev. Thomas H. Harrison announces that ho has succeeded In
getting congress to make a law which will compel tho railroads to build at
their division terminals structures In which ndequate sleeping, eating, and
bathing facilities will be provided at cost for the men when they aro nl
"other end" of their runs.
"When I got off my engine that day I became a Christian man," he snld.
"Some time later I was ordained a Presbyterian minister In Atlantn, Ga., and
given n church In Nashville, Tcnn.
"But all through the seven years I was there I was thinking about tho
railroad men snatching Insanitary food and sleeping In cabooses and oil
houses at the end of the line away from home.
"Meantime I figured out a plan of decent quarters for my former com
panions. I took It up with B. L. Wlnchell, regional director In the Southeast
this was about two years ago nnd he liked tho plan and wrote to McAdoo
about It.
"Well, Senator Hoke Smith Introduced It In congress as a bill, and now
It has been passed and become n law."
"White Coal" in the Eleven Public-Domain States
MANY Interesting things are snld about "white coal" In the debates over
the water-power hills. The development of water power seems to bo a
subject attracting attention the world over. Here are some of the things
said by Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon :
Less than 3 per cent of the coal
of the United States Is contained In
the I'ncllic states of Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana. Nevada, Utah.
Arizona, nnd California, and yet while
theso eight states contain -M.000.000
horse power, or 70 per cent of
total water-power resources of the
tlon, but 2.8 per cent bus been
veloped. And this, while enormous
minorities of cni ni'c bolus sbinned
In from other far-distant states, and
shiploads from Cannda.
These stntes are like children stunted of growth because of lack of ex
. crcise. Thev contain the energy, the
stature as great as their custom sister
without cost of the parent federal government's harbors nnd other properties.
And yet. through withdrawals and restrictive laws nnd conditions, those
younger stntes of the far West have been unable to utilize the water powers
and other property of the federal government. Congress has not treated the
younger states with the generosity accorded to the older ones.
The totnl land-surface aren of the 11 publk-domaln states of the West
Is 755,915,500 acres, of which 471.0:U1,2127 acres Is In public ownership.
The electric energy " which could be produced from these water powers
would be within easy reach by transmission lines of vast nrens of lands, min
eral deposits, and other natural resources owned by the federal government.
Questionnaire Reveals Unrest Among the Farmers
WASHINGTON. Indications of widespread unrest among the farmers of
the country are revealed In 40.000 replies to a questionnaire sent out by
the post oillce department. The replies were summarized In n report pre
pared by George L. Wood, superin
The answers show the major com
plaints of the fanners In numerical order to be:
Inability to obtain labor to work tho farms, hired help nnd tho farm
ers' children having been lured to the city by higher wages nnd easier living.
High profits taken by middlemen for the handling of food products.
Lack of proper agencies of contact between the fanner and tho ultimate
consumer.
Many of the replies, probably as many as 50 per cent, Indicate that the
writers contemplate either leaving their farms or curtailing acreage under
cultivation because of one or more of the three major grievances and because
of the growing1 feeling against nonpioduclng city dwellers.
Writing from Palmyra, Mo., a farmer said: "I almost fear a famine.

Why This Mere Man Thinks Women Are Useless Lot
I T'S a fair guess thnt James Swinburne, the noted British engineer, does not
1 intend to visit America right olf though lie's in not water at home. Any
way. here's part of what lie has to say In print nbout tho ladles:

ROAD TESTS IN CALIFORNIA
Over Adobe Land Concrete lo Laid on
Sides With Macadam in Middle
Surface Topped.
An experiment In road construction
over adobe land Is being made In a
section of the county highway between
Bay l'olnt and Pittsburg, in Cali
fornia. Experience has shown that concrctoi
roads built over adobe land results in
the cracking and disintegrating of the
road In a few seasons and In an effort
to overcome this trouble County
Surveyor Arnold Is having the link of
the county highway constructed in a
manner, tried In several eastern states
and proved successful.
The concrete Is laid In two separate
sections, ouch eight feet wldo with a
two-foot strip through tho center. In
tills strip Is placed oil macadam which
Is rolled level to the surface of tho
concrete nnd the entire surface Is
faced with a topping.
GOOD ROADS ARE ESSENTIAL
Success of Motor Truck Express Lines
Depends Greatly on Character
of Highways.
Tho success of tho motor truck ex

on the character of the roads over
which the routes run. Had roads In

quently the rates to patrons, beyond
the point of economy. Trucks aro de
structive to roads unless tho roads

problem of Improving nnd developing
the marketing facilities for farmers

motor express lines Is directly con

MANURE CARRIER IS USEFUL
Cost of Handling Fertlllztr Is Mate

The cost of handling manure may
be reduced by the use of a carrier and
an overhead track. The usual plan Is
to throw the manure Into the carrier;
this requires but 0110 handling, Tho
carrier Is then dumped Into the spread
