A THANKSGIVING STORY.
A darkey named Dick was known
as a notorious thief, so much so, in
fact, that all the thefts in the
neighborhood were charged to him.
Finally one man had all his Thanks
giving turkeys stolen and he had
.Dick arrested.
"You stole Mr. King's turkeys?"
asked the judge. '
"Well," said Dick slowly, "I'll tell
you, sir; I didn't steal dem turkeys,
but last night went 'cross Mr. King's
pasture and saw one of my rails on
de fence, so I jes' brought it homo
and, found It, when I come to look,
dar was nlno turkeys settin' on de
rail." National Food Magazine.

THE ROADMAKERS
Gives Advice on How to Build
Right Kind of B".ads.
Model Hiflhway Built In Sections Made
of Diffftrent Materials Helps Deter-
mine Exact Value of Each Under
Certain Traffic Conditions Millions I
of Dollars Wasted In the Past.
So fur has the government advanced
In the problems conuectcd with road
construction that efforts are being
made to teach the country that the ex
penditure of large sums of money on '
certain types of roads may result al-1
most In a total waste. A road built of
materials which would be Weal In one
locality may not servo the purpose at
all elsewhere, and the money expend
ed may bring scarcely any result In re- j
ducing the cost of hauling.
In order to aid farmers who want to
build their own roads and to assist va
rious committees that desire to Im
prove their roads near by, the office of
public roads of the department of ag
riculture at Washington has employed
experts to test all materials and study
their usefulness on roads subjected to
certain traffic conditions.
In Advisory Capacity.
The office of public roads is acting In
an advisory capacity to many states
and counties, giving a most practical
form of national aid. On roads where
there Is a very hard traffic it has been
found that certain kinds of materials
are better than others, and that, while
one kind of binder may not serve the
purpose nt all, another kind Is Ideal
und preserves the road Indefinitely.
Millions of dollars doubtless have
been wasted in tho past because of the
absence of scientific knowledge which
Is now being obtained. Thero is no
longer any excuse for any community
building tho wrong kind of road, It is
declared, as tho office of public roads
stands ready to furnish any Informa
tion that may be desired as to tho
courso that should be pursued.
In discussing the now scientific
movement in road improvement Direc
tor Logan Waller Pago of tho office of
public roads says:
"There are two ways In which tho
engineer may avail himself of tho In
formation necessary to a proper selec
tion of road material. The first and
only certain one Is to make an actual
Bcrvlco test on the material under ob
servation and under tho same condi
tions of traffic and climate to which
tho proposed road will be subjected.
Method Usually Impractical.
"This method, however, Is Imprac
tical except In certain rare Instances,
duo to the lapse of time which must
elapse before definite results can be
obtained. Tho Bocond method Is by
means of short tlmo laboratory tests
to approximate as nearly as possible
tho destructive agencies to which tho
material will bo subjected on a road,
supplementing tho knowledge thus
gained by a study of tho results al
ready obtained In practice on material
of a similar nature."
Tho office of public roads constantly
uses both methods. At Chevy Choso,
hear Washington, a model road has
been built In sections made of different
materials, whllo In tho laboratory of
the office tests are constantly being
made with sciyntlflc accuracy to deter
mine the eialt value of certain ma-

Love Vs. Gold.
The Spugs, an organization to fight
the useless giving of Christmas pres
ents, have a song beginning:
Remember In December
That love weighs more than gold.
Which suggests tho following train
of thought to a reader of the New York
Sun:
Remember In December
That love weighs more than gold,
Weighs more than In November
By tons and tons untold.
Beginning with September
Gold takes a sudden drop.
And In the bleak December
Love tips the scale on top.
The weight of love Increasing
Beneath the winter moon
And weight of gold decreasing
In value as a boon
Suggests unto' the giver;
This sound and "whoterfome tune:
Oh, save your love tlllChrlstmas
And spend your gold' In June I
CROP PROFITS PAY FOR
LAND, LATEST SCHEME.
Small Farmer's Success on Irrigation
Project Attracts Government.
Inspired by tho success tknt has at
tcnlled a private experiment on tho
government irrigation project in the
Uucompahgre valley. Colorado, tho of
ficials of tho federal reclamation serv
ice are contemplating an extension of
tho plan over many Irrigation areas of
the west to attract the small farmer to
the regions.
Tho scheme us put in operation by u
largo landowner on the Uncoinpahyre
tract aimed to make it possible for
men of small means to establish them
selves on small farms nnd have the
maximum of opportunity for success
nnd tho minimum of responsibility and
expense in their now venture. Tho
settlers take up plots of Ave to twenty
acres nnd pay for tho laud at tho rate
of $200 an aero on a unique Install
ment plan by turniug back to tho orig
inal owner part of tho proceeds from
tho sale of crops.
Co-operation between the owner of
tho laud and tho -small farmers is
worked out on a fine scale, nnd every
thing possible is done to make for tho
new landowner's success. In order
to save expense for tho newcomers tho
owner agrees to do the plowing and
cultivation. A cold storage warehouse
Is provided for the products of tho
farmers. No money Is required of the
settler until the crops come. Half of
tho proceeds from the sale of products
Is given to tho landowner encbyear
until tho land Is paid for. Many set
tlers In order to hasten the time of
payment make extra money by accept
ing employment from the owner In the
co-operative cultivation of tho land or
do part of the work of looking after
tho storngo warehouse.
These financial arrangements nre
such as not to burden tho man with
small capital and enable almost any
man with any knowledge of agricul
ture and with a fair degree of energy
to get a foothold. Tho original experi
ment on which the subdivisions were
made was confined to 480 acres, but
tho demand for tho flvo to twenty acre
plots has been such that tho experi
ment is being gradually extended to
cover now territory on the Uncompah
gro project
FRESH TURKEYS FOR ALL
Cold Sorage Supply Exhausted Tariff
Aids Foreign Competition.
Exit the cold storage turkey. For the
third time In twenty years we are told
that tho supply kept In tho freezers
from past years Is quite exhausted.
With Oils announcement comos tho
further good news that the fresh stock
for tho holiday season Is larger than
last year and that thero will bo a re
duction In price by Christmas.
Tho recent tariff revision has oncour-
aged foreign competition in supplying
tho demand In America for holiday tur
keys. The import duty, which hereto
fore has been 0 cents a pound, will be
2 cents hereafter, with competition
from other countries as a result.
Part of the seasonal supply for the
past two or three years has come from
Russia by way of Liverpool nnd from
Canada. P. Q. Foy, editor of tho Dally
Market Report of New York, places
Texas, Kentucky 'and Ohio as among
our present chief, turkey producing
states. Texas turkeys are more plen
tiful than those from any other ono
state. Texas is peculiarly adapted to
raising turkeys becauso of Its broad
acres, giving them wide range. It Is nt
Cuero, Ter., where they have an an
nual live turkey exhibit and a parade
through that city of thousands of live
turkeys herded by drivers going to the
slaughter pon.
Jewish peoplo demand live, turkeys
for their Thanksgiving feast, and the
shipments aro usually henyr tho week
before that holiday, Lasvyear live tur
keys, too, wero late arriving, and the
loss suffered by live poultry shippers
nveraged $500 a car. Receivers notified
shippers that tliey must deliver tho
stock early this year.

TELEGRAPH LINES
Public Ownership Aimed at In
Lewis Bills.
PART OF FOSTAL SERVICE.
Maryland Representative Has Been
Gathering Data on Telegraph and
Telephone and Intends to Push Meas
ures Has Conferred With President
and Postmaster General.
Governor ownership of telegraph and
telephone lines is to be proposed In
bills Representative David J. Lewis of
Maryland la drafting now for Intro
duction In the house, probably within a
month, accordlug to dispatches from
Washington.
Though the measures, which would
havo these public utilities taken ovdr
as a part of the postal service, havo
not been made an administration poli
cy, the president is known to, have dis
cussed the idea with Representative
Lewis and others Interested in the
project
Mr. Lewis bus collected a mass of
data on the subject of telephono and
telegraph operation and has prepared
estimates as to their cost to the gov
ernment, their availability as a sourco
of revenue and cost of maintenance,
and also has worked out a tentatlvo
plan for their acquirement und opera
tion as government' public utilities.
Besides laying his plans before Pres
ident Wilson. Representative Lewis
lios consulted frequently concerning
them with Postmaster General Burle
son. Intends to Press Bills.
When the Maryland congressman re
viewed his plans with the president
tho latter, it Is reported, evinced con
siderablo interest, but It Is known that
consideration of tho mntter had not ad
vanced sufficiently for the project to bo
designated as an administration plan.
Representative Lewis, however, pro
poses to press the projected legislation
vigorously, and already ho has procur
ed the Indorsement of tho proposal .by
many members of congress.
In advocating the government pur
chase of telegraph lines Mr. Lewis is
emulating Frank H: Hitchcock, who
was postmaster general In tho Taft
cabinet. In January, 1012, Mr. Hitch
cock publicly announced that ho was
In favor of this step and that he
would recommend it to congress. Mr.
Taft, however, decided not to Indorse
the policy nt that time, and Mr. Hitch
cock did not send the recommendation
to congress.
In his official announcement from
tho postofflce department Mr. Hitch
cock said:
"Postofflces are maintained in nu
merous places not reached by teie
aph systems, and the proposed con
solidation would, therefore, nfford a
favorable opportunity for the wide ex
tension of telegraph facilities. In
many small towns whero the tele
graph companies have offices tho tele
graph and mail business could be
readily handled by the same em
ployees. The separate maintenance of
the two services under present condi
tions results in needless expense." ne
added that, in his opinion, government
ownership would mean reduced tele
graph rates.
Authority Under Constitution.
That the federal government has au
thority under tho constitution to mo
nopolize tho telegraph, telephono and
express business has never been ques
tioned. Between 1844 and 1847 the
government did operate tho telegraph
systems of tho country.
B. T. Chamberlain, United States
commissioner of navigation, more than
a year ago recommended that tho gov-
ernment purchnse and operate all
wireless stations in the United States
in tho interest of economy nnd better
regulation.
Sentiment In congress without re
gard to party lines has been grpwlng
In favor of the proposal during the last
eighteen months. At first It came as
a surprise, but now It has many nd
vocntes not only in tho Democratic
party, but especially among the Pro
gresslvcs. Although wary about ox-
pressing their opinions publicly, tho
Republicans are also leaning that way,
It, Is likely that any legislation that is
enacted will provide for their, gradual
acquisition rather than purchase out'
right at once.
CLARK FOR DISARMAMENT.
Speaker Deems It 8urest Means of
Guaranteeing World Peace.
Champ Clark, speaker of tho national
house of representatives, declared for
international disarmament as the sur

at tho closing exercises of the Perry
centennial celebration.
He praised tho valor of tho American
soldiers In the war of 1812 and declar
ed the crowning glory of their heroism
was tho 100 years of peace which have
followed between Great Britain and
the United States.

LARGER TIMBER SALES.
Total for Last Year From National
Forest in Threo States Was 115,-
010,000 Feet.
"Washington. A substantial in
crease in sales of timber from na
tional forests in Washington, Oregon
and Alaska has been made during
the past fiscal year, according to fig
ures given out by the United States
Forest Service.
With the close of tho year ended
June 30 last, the reported amount of
Government timber cut In the States
quoted, aggregated 115,046000 feet.
Tho number of new sales was G73.
The amount of 'timber actually sold
reached a total of 482,828,000 feet
board measure. These figures show
an increase over tho previous year of
3,529,000 feet In amount of timber
cut. The number of new sales In the
fiscal year of 1912 was G.5G, a3
against G73 last year, while the
amount of timber sold was greater
by 282,980,000 feet.
In addition to timber sales nroner.
3,403 permits were issued to settlers
and farmers for the free use of .na
tional timber for domestic use. This
use took 14,756,000 board feet.
The largest single cut of timber
on any Oregon and Alaska was 30,-
781,000 feet of the national forests
in Washington, from the Tongass
forest of Alaska, and the largest
amount sold was 163,842,000 feet on
the Umpqua forest In Oregon.
The average stumpage price was
$1.82 per thousand board feet, an
increase of 16 cents per thousand
over prices received in 1912. A feat
ure of tho 'timber sales business in
the States reported on was the large
proportion Of small sales made.
These were sales to men of small
capital to supply the needs of peo
ple living in or near the national for
ests and to furnish business oppor
tunities to the small operator, In
pursuance of the avowed policy of
tho Forest Service to provide first
for local demand before selling tim
ber for transportation to distant
markets. Only 11 of tho 673 sales
covered by the report wero for more
than ?5,000 worth of timber, while
92 per cent, of the total number
consisted of sales involving less than
$100.
