CONVICTION OF LOOTERS DEMANDED (Fruin tlie Roeehurg Review, March iS7, IMWU.) Engineer Jaw Wall-', who for many years ht pulled (he overland be t wm-n Rosetmrff and Grants Fass, will take a daylight run on the thru 1 freight between those places, r-ngi-newr Connelly will take the overland run. Perhaps the strongest arraignment of war time, and even recent profiiteering, that has yet been made is being published in the American Legion magazine, the articles are by Marquis James, and jrrafters are handled without gloves by the writer. Startling conditions are brought to light, and dilatory methods of the government officials in prosecuting the leaches who rob bed the irovernment during the war unveiled. Red blooded Am- ericans will be glad that this thing is undergoing the light of publicity, and will demand that men who robbed and stole, or connived and conspired to fill their own pockets during the war be punished and the boot" returned to the treasury. Attorney General Dougherty has finally attempted prosecutions, but not ', until legion men in Congress practically forced the issue, and i speaking of the actions pending in the United States courts the ' I Philadelphia Record says: ' 1 ! j "Millions are in the loot ; millions will be freely spent to xro 1 tect not only the loot but the reputation of the looters. The pub lic has no conception as to where the remifications of guilt may lead. They may involve and bring to ruin men now leaders in ' high finance, leaders in national politics, leaders in society. , Ex posure may send a shudder through the body politic of the Con grass itself. Prosecution must meet legal talent of the most for midable character. Everything from blackmail to murder may be undertaken in desperate defense." , ; . . ' o ; " ; h ! i ; The Producer, a weekly publication owned by the North west Wheat Crowers' Association, published at Portland, alleges tlie present price of wheat is only eighty to ninety cents to the ! firmer, and that this is from ten to fifty cents per bushel below ' ! cost of production. Unless something is done to relieve the situ ation, says the paper, farmers man conclude to let the financiers S aiid Congress do without wheat and incidontal'y bread! j Tlvere ! is no question of doubt that flour is way out of proportion to the price of wheat and it is admitted that farmers cannot go on ! raising crops at a loss and survive economic disaster. Market ' iig facilities. aro not adequate; freights are too high; the, system ; of distribution Is faulty milling costsj warehouse ind "storage expenses, insurance, interest and handling tolls more than they j should be, and so when these various agencies take their certain I profit out of the wheat and the finished product reaches consum i ers, the wonder is that the cost is not higher. If the farmer were ! paid more these middlemen would take more. Perhaps the real , problem is not that the grower gets too little, but that "over- i i head" is out of all roason. - i . .. . : o j Kansas reports have Indicated that many farmers' wives and ! daughters h:iv turned M.t tir's year to help the men of the family harvest the crops. Feeling that imported labor costs more than it was worth, about 200 women around Parsons, Kan., went cut ! in the fields and performed the toilsome processes of harvesting. ' These girls did not have to use any make-up in order to produce ! good color in their cheeks. The farmer is hard hit by the present I price of wheat, but there is much resourcefulness in the farm family which helps meet the situation. A lot of girls and women ! ni-A HreA of the idea that a woman is physically inferior. Some j of them seem to be disproving it, by giving a demonstration of their ability to do things. ' ; o It is rumored that Chas. Hall, lato caudidato at the primary election for the nomination for governor, will run as an inde pendent candidate at the fall election. It's a cinch that no straight Republican candidate can win out against a combination like Hall and Pierce. Looks very much like somebody or something is alter Olcott's scalp. o The wets and tlie drys ure battling in Milwaukee today for nunremiicv Milwaukee was one time quite famous for its wot products, but of late years has been considerably "dried up j and will quite likel remain in that dry loft. ; o This is the month of slalo and county fairs, roundups and various other amusements for the populace.

The city of Mex- iro. capital and metropolis of the re public., according to an announcement by the director-general of statistics, has a population of 6ir,367. This com pares with 471,068 In 1910 and 368, H!IS In Jflft. The limits of the City of Mexico nro tlRhtly drawn and beyond thm are suburbs containing several hun dred thousand additional population The city Itself comprises rnly a small part of the federal district, which cor responds politically to the litrict of Columbia in the I nited States. An interesting feature of the Mexico City population figures Is tho great disparity between the number of nu n ;ind women. In lf'OO there were 173.- 617 men and 195.!ril women. ' In 1910 thera were 21S.77t men and 252.292 women. Last year's census gives 271, 9f5 men nnd 343.412 women. tie- Ralph Downing, a neuhew ot J. A Fable of Russian Rubles. Here Is nn Incident of the regime of the soviet, snys the new ior une. A certain inhabitant of Moscow who had succeeded In saving a few rubles decided to go into ouaui, and so converted his fortune Into 500 kilos of sugar, which he sold again. The operation was so good that be found himself In possession ol sev eral million ruble Again he bought sugar, but this Ume, though his enpitnl bad become tenfold, he could buy only 400 kilos, because meanwhile the price of tills commod ity had considerably Increased. He wild It again, and his fortune reached hundreds of millions of rubles. This he once m-re invested in sngnr, but got buielyT00 kilos, the sale of which, however, considerably Increased his fortune. Thus he continued to buv nnd sell, until one day. when he had hundreds of millions of soviet rubles, he could no longer buy more than one lump of sugar. Then he was com pelled to pawn It to buy a rope nnd a nail with which to httng himself. What Our Soldiers Protect. In eoniDurlsun between the national wealth of the United States and the number of soldiers nuw maintained in the reeulnr army, each American sol. dler is charged with affording protec tion and national security to $1,735,- 597 of the $350,000,000,000 total of the national wealth. Likewise, each doliller Is at present protecting 25 oiinre miles of territory of the main land and dependencies, and giving 848 of the people ,of the country se- nirltv against foreign interference with their constitutional right All n,ia at a cost of $3 per capita of population. .

MADE OF, DUST That and Not Water Is Found to Be tha Predominating Element In Them; What do you think Is tha predomi nating element of the great clouds which flout high above our heads In the sky? WaterT No-; dust, the little motes that we may see dancing In any sunbeam. Without dust there can be no clouds, and without clouds rain can not fall. ' Most of England's rata comes from the hot sens on the const of America. Here water rises Into the air In the form of steam, whose tiny particles adhere to tlie little dust-specks, or motes of which the atmosphere is full. If It was not for the motes the steam would simply full back again at eve ning time- when the temperature dropped. Hut as It is, each mote at- j tracts a certain number of Tnpor par- tides, nnd retains them. In this way j great clouds are formed which are carried rustwurd over the seas by the wind. ! So long as there Is no great fall In the temperature they will continue to be clouds; for water-vapor Is lighter than air and will not sink In It; but should the temperature' be reduced rap Idly, the particles of vapor begin at once to condense Into drops of water ur( beamier han, air. .The motes can ho' lunger" sustain tlielr" ourden' 'antf rain begins to fall.'

He characterised tho nrtlon of Attorney General Imugherty as "exercising a power never dreamed of in tho his tory of the republic." The veteran labor chief said the Injunction was wrong In prinrlple and fact anil was a confession that the shopmen have nearly won their strike.
