M. E. Ingalls. president of the Big
Four -Chesapeake & Ohio rail
roads , is quoted as saying that "If
this thing of merging railroads
keeps up and the logical end is reached ,
It means one-man ownership of rail -
roads. That intolerable condition
would necessitate the government buy
ing out the roads and government own
ership , in my opinion , will be a calam
ity. " What would be a calamity to the
railroad presidents would be a good
thing for the people and the quicker
the end is reached the better , though
the interval bo hard on the public.

awkward position , but points out that

public lands was enacted seventeen
years ago , there has been no attempt m
put it into eil'ect until the present time

law is enforced as is proposed by Sec
retary Hitchcock , " said Mr. Bartleti
yesterday. "Many hmall cattle owner *
would buffer , ub well as the large own

clusion that the supply is short.

I've been shining now for agei
On the paints that people use ,
lad my pleasure is to spoil them.
Bat meUiinks I've got the blues ;
For I struck a kind thhnorninr
That would net grow qnlcUf faint ,
And I found by nking Venus
That 'twas Patton's Sun-Proof Paint. "
Vhy , I shone and shone upon it
So's to make tho paint degrade ,
And I nearly had a inn-bnnt
O'er this stuff that jon hare made.
When I saw my work quite useless
Then I called on erery Saint ;
Bnt they , too , eonld not affect it
Twas jour "Patton's Sun-Proof Faint. "
And now , sirs , here's my order :
Fifty gallons send tonje ,
Of yonr brightest golden color ,
And please send it C. O.D.
Yon e the Sun needs painting
And I wanted something qnaint !
So I thought I'd send an order
For jronr "Patton's Son-Proof Paint. "
