Traffic on the Missouri, aKnsas and
Texas railroad during July was 13 per
cent heavier'than in July last year,
according to local loading statistics,
Jack F. Hennessey, division freight
agent, said several days ago. Reports
show an increase of 4235 cars loaded
locally at M. K. and T. stations dur-
ing the month, with an increase of
3264 cars received under load from
connecting lines. Oil traffic was par-

Had All Qualifications
An application for a position as
teacher in Butte county, South Dakota,
has been received from a woman in
Wyoming. In part, the application
says: “I will Introduce myself as an
old-fashioned old maid school teacher.
I can ride horseback, am not afraid of
rats, mice or rattlesnakes. Will be
pleased to receive a position in the
wildcat section of your country. I do
not smoke cigarettes, use profane lan-
guage nor drink booze. Am so homely
that the men stay clear away from
me.”
Washington.—The shipping board
several days ago asked for $22,540,000
for the coming fiscal year and was told
by the budget bureau it need not ex-
pect more than $15,300,000.
For the present year, the apropria-
tion is $24,000,000, and last year it
was $30,000,000.
Of the total requested, $22,000,000
would go to the fleet corporation and
$540,000 to the board itself.
President Palmer had asked for on-
ly $18,000,000 for the corporation, but
not a member of the board supported
his estimate. Commissioner Lissner
was the only one of the six members
present who refused to vote for $22,-
000,000, and he favored $20,000,000.
President Palmer said the other day
that regardless what appropriation was
finally given the fleet corporation for
next year, it was his intention to op-
erate all of the 279 vessels now active,
while bringing out a considerable re-
duction in personnel of the corpora-
tion at home and abroad and the es-
tablishment of more efficient methods
generally.
Contrary to some reports on the Pa-
cific coast, he asserted, he has no in-
tention of changing the terminus at
Portland, of the Oregon-Oriental line of
10 ships, which runs to the Far East.
It has been indicated that an offer for
the purchase of that line might soon
be received from the Columbia-Pacific
Steamship Company, which operates
that service for the fleet corporation.

Woman Made Long Hike
to Appear in Lawsuit
It Is over 80 miles from Southampton
to London, but Mrs. Catherine Foyle,
sixty-four years old, walked the whole
distance, accompanied by her little dog,
in order to defend herself in the law
courts recently, says the London
Graphic.
In the chancery division she ap-
peared, with a bottle of lemonade pow-
der firmly clenched in her hand, to de-
fend a motion to restrain her from sell-
ing goods and soft drinks from a stall
in the New forest and from lighting a
fire without permission.
Other people were following her ex-
ample In the forest, it was stated, and
were creating a nuisance.
“We do not want to be hard on her,”
said Mr. Pollock, for the crown, “but
we want an order that we can show to
everybody.”
The order was granted, and it was
stated that the crown would pay Mrs.
Foyle’s fare back, as well as that of
the dog.
That caponizing pays but that
capons do not gain anywhere near
what is claimed by some, is indicated
by the results of an experiment con-
ducted by the poultry department at
South Dakota State college.
According to these claims, the
capon should gain twice as much as a
rooster of the same age and breed,
but a 10 per cent gain is about the
best to expect. The lighter breeds like
Leghorns, do not really gain at all.
Since chickens usually hatch late on
the farm and since there is usually
plenty of feed, caponizing will prob-
ably pay the farmer. The birds should
be caponlzed when developing wattles
and combs, or better when they weigh
about two pounds in the American or
medium-weight breeds. The capons
can be shipped in barrels holding 150
to 200 pounds, during January and
February, and bring a good price.
Two weeks before marketing, the
capons should be put in close quarters
and fed on fattening rations, such as
milk, corn meal, bran, tankage, etc.
Any combination like corn and milk is
very good. During the time previous
to these two weeks, the capons can be
fed on corn and can be allowed to
run with the pullets.
In dressing capons for market, only
the soft feathers need be removed.
The coarse feathers on the wings, tail,
etc., may be left on. The capons must
be dry-picked, if a good price is ex-
pected.
As capon feathers, especially white
ones, are in demand and will bring
from 85 to 90 cents per pound, the
farmer can afford to keep them clean
and dry and the colors unmixed.
To have capons mother little chicks
does not pay. This means that capons
have to be kept over winter. Three
or four dollars are thus invested in
them, whereas an old hen would do
better.

Early in the year it was thought
that the pecan crop in the Burnet
section this fall would be a complete
failure. It is estimated now that
Marble Falls will ship six to eight
cars, which is about 15 cars short of
a normal crop.
Application for $20,000 in state and
federal aid to be used in constructing
11.2 miles of rock asphalt from Uvalde
to Knippa, was filed several days ago
with the state highway commission by
Uvalde County. Estimated cost of the
project is $60,000.
The construction train of the San
Benito and Rio Grande Valley rail-
road has entered the city of Hidalgo,
near Mission, work on the road hav-
ing progressed that far, according to
George Winsor, general manager of
the road.
An organization known as the Unit-
ed States Army Press Association has

An experiment is now in progress
near HebVonville looking toward the
development of that section as a date
growing area. Mrs. Lorine Jones
Spoonts has planted more than 100
date palms on her ranch, six miles
north of Hebronville and announces
if the experiment is successful a large
additional acreage will be devoted to
raising of dates.
M. E. Ludlow, one of the leading
melon growers of Gregg County, has
carried 30 giant watermelons to Mar-
shall, where they will be kept in cold
storage until the opening of the Mar-

exhibited. One of the melons weighs
105 pounds. Ludlow will also exhibit
melons at the state fair of Texas this
year.

nouncement a short time ago when in
Alpine making arrangements for the
survey.
A state gasoline- tax of 3 cents a
gallon, revenue of which is to be de-
voted entirely to highway construc-
tion and maintenance, will be pro-
posed in a bill to be submitted by him
at the next regular session of the leg-
islature, R. S. Bowers, state senator
from the Fourteenth District,, toid the
Associated Press a few days . 30. Gus
Russek, state senator from the Fif-

such a bill.
Actual construction of the Houston-
Gulf Gas Company's line from the Re-
fugio gas field in Refugio County to
Houston will start the first week in
September, according to W. L. Moody
III, director of the company. The
Hope Engineering and Supply Com-
pany, which has the contract for the
complete construction of the line has
completed the survey from Refugio to
Edna and is working towards Hous-
ton. The Youngstown Shett and
Tube Company of Youngstown, Ohio,
is rushing work on the manufacture of
the pipe, and delivery along the right
of way will begin at an early date.
New York.—Clewiston, Fla., has been
definitely selectet as the site for the
national monument to the late William
Jennings Bryan. Announcement to this
effect was made by Miss Dion-
essa Bryan Evans, his goddaughter.
The monument will stand in a plot on
the southwest shore of Lake Okeecho-
bee. Florida was the Commoner’s
adopted state. Miss Evans said, add-
ing: “I feel that it is the place the
memorial should be. He was not
primarily a politician, but a crusader,
and he believed that there is a future
for industrious folks in Florida.”
The site for the monument was do-
nated by one of Mr. Bryan’s firmest
friends, Miss Evans said, and contri-
butions of several thousand dollars al-
ready have been received toward
cost of erection.
Houston, Tex.—For years Texas cot-
ton crops have been subject to
the scourge of the boll weevil, for
many kinds of poisons have been used
at a great expense and the boll wee-
vil lives on.
Now comes H. M. Madison, new
agricultural agent pf ?the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San1 Antonio Rail-
road, offering the simple expedient of
fall plowing to rid the fields not only
weevil but^of^ thatother
greMHH^he cut worm.
starve the weevil^H
eats only green food; and turlWM
out into the could world with no nWffi
for he lives above the ground duri^B
hibernating time.
It also puts the boll worm in an
embarrasing position, for he lives on
the roots of plants, makes his home
there. When the roots are torn lip and
exposed they are no longer attractive
to the boll worm and just for that he
lies down and dies.
There is a third benefit, according to
Mr. Madison, from fall plowing. It
fertilizes the land. The stalks of the
cotton are still green when the plow-
ing is done. Dead plants do not fer«
tilize, he says.
Yoar OruMlat —
Fill Summer Egg Basket
“Hens wp not lay eggs in the sum-
■ithey are supplied with-aii-
can eat,” says Duncan
W' the poultry department,
A’ffljjnf Wisconsin. During the
Hnths, the wet ground and
full of insects which pro-
vide plenty of animal feed for the
hens, but when summer comes the in-
sects disappear and this lack of ani-
mal food must be supplied through the
mash.
A good ration recommended by Mr.
Reid consists of 100 pounds of ground
corn, 100 pounds of ground oats, 100
pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounds of
wheat middlings, 100 pounds of meat
scrap, and 5 pounds of salt. When
milk is fed with the mash, the meat
scrap should be cut in half.
“A hen should receive two ounces
of grain a day and all the mash she
can eat,” says Mr. Reid. “The grain
ration should consist of corn supple-
mented with 25 per cent wheat and
oats. This is contrary to the gener-
al telief that corn furnishes too much
heat. Tests have shown that the best
results are obtained when this ration
is used. The grain should be fed a
little in the morning and heavy at
night The Tnash should be changed
at least once a week. A lack of oys-
ter shell during the summer months
wftl cut egg production in half. Green
feed, such as clover, when mixed with
the mash, has a decided advantage
even if the green feed Is growing
in the yard.”
Antifog Device
The fogging of show windows, if
they are of the boxed-in type, may be
prevented by placing a flat glass or
porcelain dish containing calcium
chloride in the window. This chemical
substance quickly absorbs moisture
from the air with the result that the
moisture is prevented from congealing
against the outside glass, says Popu-
lar Science.
The contents of the dishes must be
renewed every two or three days, and
the moist calcium chloride thoroughly
dried, after which it may be used
again.
