Oystermen report thai their early
shipments are heavy enough to war-
rant the prediction that thla will be
a record breaking seuBon for the In-
dustry. The demand from the weat
la heavier than uanal because of a
restoration of confidence In the oy-
ster through Improved methoda of
shipment. Thla confirms the judg-
ment or thoae who advised a revolu-
tionizing of methods in the direction
of cleanliueaa and sanitation to aave
a rapidly declining trade. Consumera
will rebel In the end if they are not
treated fairly, and tradesmen Bhould
take warning from the experience of
the oyatermen, who have just been on
the carpet, to their financial loss for
at least two aeaaons of poor bualneaa,
while they were trying to discover
why people were losing their hunger
for sea food.
In harmony with the policy of con-
nervation, the farmers are learning
that to Increase the fertility of the
soil is to produce results formerly at-
tnincd by bringing a larger acreage
under cultivation, says Denver Re-
publican. The value of land for
agriculture is measured by its produc-
tive power, and thus 40 acres may bo
as valuable as 80 if it produces as
much. The old methods are giving
way to new and better, and thuB
through intensive agriculture the peo-
ple will be provided with farms, the
larger tracts of earlier days being
divided into smaller, while the total
product of the country will be in-
creased in the same ratio as the fer-
tility of the soil is made greater.
Beef threatens to be higher than
when the cow jumped over the moon,
butter is advancing strongly, eggs are
going up as though the hens were us-
ing their wings for soaring into the
empyrean and the grocer's and butch-
er's bills are acquiring new terrors
daily, says the Troy Times. But let
us be thankful that all food articles
are not mounting heavenward in price.
The oystermen say the crop this fall
was never larger nor better, and this
means a cheap and abundant supply.
To be sure, a steady oyster diet might
lead to qualms, but it Is something
to know that there is a food article
which can be bought and eaten with-
out straining the resources of the
family purse.
Col. GoethalB, chief engineer of the
i'anama canal, reports that good prog-
ress is being made and explains why
ihe quantity or excavated material
thows a falling off. Four sections
have been completetd, and this less-
ens by so much the necessity for dig-
ging. Meanwhile other work is go-
ing on satisfactorily. The finish is
in Bight, and it looks as though the
canal will surely be completed In 1915,
the time fixed for the finale.
The plan, announced from Boston,
pf solving the problem or Illiterate
and impecunious immigrants by edu-
cating them and getting them into
profitable employment is undoubted-
ly a good one, and would be effective
if it could be executed, saya the New
York Tribune. But bow such work
is to be done for the scores and hun-
dreds of thousands who come hither
is another problem of appalling diffi-
culty.
Koads like those proposed In Eng-
land, on which there would be no
speed limits for motorists, would set-
tle the speed problem for good and
nil. Sensible persons would all use
the other road, and the speed maniacs
would soon bring themselves to their
lit end.

proved feasible and advisable, the
present administration would favor
the Issuance of government bonds to
defray the cost.

Kavanaugh Opens Convention.
William K. Kavanaugh of Missouri,
president of Ihe association, called the
convention to order Saturday morning
and set forth briefly the alms and
plans of the organization. He said the
deep waterway work is now in this
condition:
1. The sanitary district of Chicago
has built the deep waterway, practi-
cally to .loliet, nearly 40 miles, and
$60,000,0(H) have been spent thus far
on the work.
2. The entire route of the lakes-to-
the-gulf deep waterway from Joliet to
New Orleans, through the Des Plaines
river, the Illinois liver and the Mis-
sissippi river, has been surveyed un-
der direction of congress by United
States engineers, who have officially
reported to congress that the building
of the deep waterway is feasible.
3. The people of the state of Illi-
nois have adopted a constitutional
amendment providing for a bond is-
sue of $20,000,000, the money to be
spent in constructing the deep water-
way southward from Joliet.
4. A bill Introduced by United States
Representative Richard Bartholdt of
Missouri is now pending in congress,
providing for the issuance by the
United States government of bonds to
the amount or $500,000,000, the money
to be spent in constructing this deep
waterway from the lakes to the gulf
and other meritorious projected river
improvements.
5. it is intended to ask the Sixty-
first congress to pass a bill providing
definitely that the United States gov-
ernment undertake the construction
or the deep waterway i'rom the point
where the Illinois work will end, to
the GuU of Mexico.
In the afternoon, following the ad-
dress or President Taft, Clifford Pln-
chot, head of the government forestry
department, made an address on the
conservation of the nation's natural
resources.
In the evening the delegates to the
convention were entertained at a stag
smoker by the Progressive union of
New Orleans. This evening all the
delegates and the ladies accompany-
ing them were the guests or the Pro-
gressive union at the New Orleans
Opera house, where "La Juive" was
given by the French Opera Com-
pany.
His Politics at Home.
A political canvasser called at a
home the other day and inquired as
to the political affiliations ol the man
of the house.
"Oh. well," said the housewife,
"he's everything. He's nice when he's
away, and he's not so nice at other
times.'
"But about politics." Bald the can-
vasser. "Is he a Democrat or a Re-
publican?"
"Well, it depends on who he is
with." said the lady, "ir it's policy
to be a Democrat when he's with Dem-
ocrats, he's a Democrat, and when
he's with Republicans he's a Repub-
lican."
"I understand." persisted the can-
vasser. "but between ourselves, what
is he' at home?"
"Oh, at home he's a perfect terror."

In Durant Saturday. While on Main
street Bacon dismounted from his
losd of baled hay. While he was
climbing back onto the load the
mules became frightened and ran
away. The driver was thrown for-
ward onto the wagon tongue. In
this position he was dragged nearly
a block. One of the front wheels
of the wagon collided with a tele-
graph pole, throwing the mules, the
driver and the hay into a con-
fused mass on the sidewalk. But

at less depth. The company has
3.000 aerts* of leases in the vicinity of

sanguine of finding oil at a much

Congressman Reodar Thinks Conaorva-
tion of Rainfall Would Bo of Ma-
terial Help to That Roglon.
Topeka, Kan.—Congressman Boed-
er of Kansas, chairman of the house
committee 011 irrigation, wanta the
glvernment to widen its work In re-
gard to the establishment of Irrigation
projects In the semi-arid district. He
will endeavor to get some legislation
this winter embodying his ideas.
"It is all right for the government
to build ibe big projects in the far
West," said he. "Such planta are ab-
aolutely necessary for the development
of that section. Rut money also ahould
be spent establishing suitable Irri-
gation projects east of the Rockies,
The same amount of funds spent there
will open up three times as many fer-
tile farms." .
It is simply a catch basin proposi-
tion east of the RocjUes. Enough water
falls during the year to ralpe crops, if
It. were conserved. The trouble is It
falls at the wrong time of the year
and runs off before the crops need it.
Then when they need rain it doesn'f
come. In recent years endugh moisture
has fallen at the proper time In West-
ern Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska,
Eastern Colorado and Northern Texas
to produce fairly good crops. But with
the water which falls on that section
all conserved there would never be any
excuse for a crop failure.
Mr. Reeder's plan Is for the govern-
ment to supervise the construction of
Btorage reservoirs in the territory east
of the Rockies and catch all the water
that falls.
NO MORE CHAUTAUQUA SALUTES
Tha W. C. T. U. for Sanitary Reasons
Will No Longer Wsve Pocket
Handkerchiefs.
Omaha, Neb.—While the W. C. T.
U. is on the trail of the liquor evil
it Is going to take a side swat at the
Demon Germ. A beginning was made
in the national convention when it was
voted to do away with the "Chautau-
qua salute." The Chautauqua salute
is given by rising and waving a pocket
handkerchief.
Now, no better method could be de-
vised, according to expert medical
opinion, to disseminate the causes of
all the ills to which flesh is heir than
the same Chautauqua salute, and on
that advice the W. C. T. U. decided to
do away With it. The giving of the
salute In closed halls waa an especial-
ly dangerous procee'ding, the doctors
aald, so "for sanitary reasons" the con-
vention voted to discontinue It.
