fe THE PUZZLED CITIZEN.
Voicing the plaint of the farpier over .the contrasting price of retail food'stuffs and the price paid at the farm ,for such products, a farmer signing ^himself "Honey Creek Grange" writes the Tribune to indicate that the government ought to seek a remedy for ithe situation. The same thing puzzles the farmer elsewhere. Qollier's ^Weekly says:
Mr M. G. Nixon, a farmer of Water"ford, Ohio, writes that "sorted apples gsold here last fall for from 25 to 30
Jcents a bushel yet we ar6,told to increase production as the greatest thing Iwe can do to alleviate farming conditions." And the Jackson, Miss., News, Jt ^fcorfnnenting on a report that "potatoes gelling on farms in Wisconsin for 25 Icettts a bushel cost $1.03 at retail in phicago," adds:
In Michigan live many farmers "who fcet even less for potatoes. Many can't pell their spuds at
any
price and are
feeding 'em/to the pigs. But in Chicago, a few hours' ride away, the "Jrice is half of the average man's daily wagp #nd 'while! very many men fcren't getting
any
wage, the price of
spuds is steadily going higher, i. Of course everybody knows that this isn't & local but a widespread condition, applying to most food products &nd almost every large community yet here's the queer part of it:
Though everybody knows of it and is grouching About it, that old scoundrel, Nobody, corrects it. A few good Bouls are trying hard to bridge the jphasm, but they aren't succeeding. 'J The main reason why the farmers of this country suffer so much from exertion'is that they fail to grasp tremendc/us power that is within their reajh. They have the sympathy of the great mass of consumers—fellow victims of middlemen's greed—and the taw. recognizes their right to organize ind fight for their rights. All that farmers as a class need do to become ^far stronger than the biggest trust is get together and pull together for their common cause, to put their
Shoulders to the hames of progress instead of throwing their weight against the breeching.
Tt# PULLING THE LOAD.
A
On the Tribune's auto page Sunday Was the information that one ice cream factory manufactory here had •relegated six teams to less strenuous ork than delivery and had replaced iTt-s them with light trucks, a field which the motor is fast claiming for Its own •™toy reasons of economy and efficiency.
At the present time there are about •1.500,000 automobiles and trucks in the 'United States. At best the figure is but the result of a consensus of opinion among automobile men, but it is as nearly accurate as the census figures. The value of these automobiles and trucks, again roughly estimated, is s^bout $2,100,000,000. In France, which :-'is credited with having the most superb sj stem of roads in the. world, jbuilt at a cost of $625,000,000, a great .-international road congress was sanctioned by the French government and held at Paris in October, 1908. So •great were the effects of motor traffic ton toads built solely with a view to

withstanding horse and wagon traffic thalt the purpose of the meeting was announced to be "The Adaptation of. Roads to the Modern Methods of Locomotion."
In the United States the problem is yet a Vital one ortly near the great centers of population, for the reason that but a small percentage of \he total mileage of roads is improved and the motor traffic is mainly confined to small areas of country. But the problem Is becoming more important with the constantly increasing use of the automobile, and the government is viewing the .subject progressively.
There is no doubt that motor traffic rapidly is replacing horse traffic and the roads of the present and the future must be constructed with a view to withstanding this particular kind of traffic.
THE MANLY ART
A squint at the sporting page supplies the contrasting information that the new ma.yor of Chicago favors boxing and that the senate of Cuba has decided that one dose is enough and that it will report a bill to prohibit prize fighting there in the future. Cuba's one experience in first-grade pugilism seems to have been quite enough. The .fight, it appears, was no more disgraceful than such contests usually are. There was not much disorder at the ringside. The little brown policemen with their sabers were about as effective as ihe slouchhatted deputies of Reno or the police of a large American city. To be sure, the excited promoter of the fight did assault one policeman, but this was a mere incident.
What Cuba did not like was the quality of the Americans who came to Havana to witness the battle. Cuba is very fond of American dollars. Cuba edcourages American sojourners, because they always bring many dollars with them. But the prize fight crowd, even though free with its dollars, was too much for Cuba.
Prize fighting is generally tabooed in the United States. New Tork has its legalized pugilism deodorized and con-' trolled by a government commission. Other states do not permit pugilism at all, even in modified and expurgated form. The general opinion is that the professional sport is brutalizing and demoralizing. But Cuba, which is not known as a peculiarly humane country, was scarcely expected to take a Stand in opposition.
Boxing, of course, is all right, but when it gets to be prize fighting it colonizes a set of individuals to whom you wouldn't give your watch to hold.
It Is reported that rain falls every day in the year in South Assam. And yet some folks complain because .certain villages here are wet!
Out in Kansas City, Dr. Hyde's trial has been continued again. The appearance of Mr. Jekyll is being momentarily ejxpected, no doubt.
Maine is reported as the only state in which business conditions are not improving. What's the main trouble up there?
'Tas ever thus. We have driven Billy Sunday out of America, and are now begging him to come back from NewJersey.
There's one good thing—if the country goes dry, those cocktail cherries will be left on the branches.

This is an uncertain day. Astrology finds that Saturn rules strongly good, while Neptune is adverse.
The planet that is believed to have sway over the riches buried in the earth gives promise of success for agriculturists. Crops that will bring fortunes are promised in some of the states, but unusual dangers from pests and disastrous storms are foretold.
This should be a favorable day for miners, potters and masons. There is an omen of great good fortune for dealers in leather. Shoemakers will gain wealth, if they mane uie. most of'theii* opportunities, it is said.
The benefic aspect of Saturn is fortunate for leasing and for beginnings in building Oftprepairing.
The influences today are encouraging to the attainment of positions ot trust and responsibility. While success may be slow it will be lasting, according to the interpretation of the seers.
Persons whose birthdate it is should be wary in dealing with acquaintances of opposite sex. In business they will have anxieties but they will succeed.
Children born on this day will be ambitious and persevering. These subjects of Aries may be self-willed and egostical, but they are likely to be trustworthy.

SCHOOLS TO OBSERVE ARBOR DAY FRIDAY
Programs of Songs, Readings and Recitations to be Given—Fairbanks to Speak at Normal,
Practically all of the schools of the city will arrange some exercises for the observation of Arbor day, which will be Friday. Very few trees will be planted and no elaborate programs will be planned, but in nearly every room the teacher will have some entertainment for the children. These will consist of songs, readings and recitations by the pupils, on subjects appropriate to the day and the teachers will give short talks on the advantages of planting trees and the care of them.
The birds will also come in for their share of attention and many of the talks will have to do with the building and placing of bird houses and the protection of the song birds of the country.
A special program has been arranged for the Indiana State Normal school. Former Vice President Chas. W. Fairbanks will address the students in the auditorium at 10:30 o'clock in the morning and other exercises including the planting of some trees will be held.
At Wiley high school there will be no special exercises.

PASSENGERS OF MINNESOTA TAKEN FROM STRANDED SHIP
No Panic Aboard Steamer When She Hits Rock and Rescue Vessel Soon Reaches Scene. 1'
KOBE, April 13.—There was no panic on board the steamship Minnesota when she ran on a rock off Iwajima at the entrance to the inland sea of Japan Sunday night, according to passengers brought here by the steamer Oanfa. The night was calm, but the weather was thick and foggy when a grating sound was felt at 8:45 jp. m. It was found that vessel had grounded three miles out of her course.
Some of the women aboard became hysterical but excellent order was maintained and many of the passengers even returned to their berths upon the assurance of the owcers that there \was no danger. The Oanfa, which the 'Minnesota previously had passed, arrived about a. m. to render aid in response to distress signals.
About one hundred passengers'were transferred to the Oanfa without accident and arrived at Kobe today. Among them was Mrs. Francis Burton Harrison, wife of the governor-general of the Philippines.
Fifty steerage passengers still are aboard the Minnesota with the Yakumo standing by to give assistance if it is
