The Day in HISTORY
APPLY TRUST METHODS TO FARMING. If the same method were applied to the production and distribution- of food products that are applied to the production and refining of petroleum by the Standard Oil company or the packing of beef by the beef trust, it is safe to say that the cost of, living would be reduced fifty per cent. Big corporations eliminate waste. Fifty years ago, before the beef packing industry became centralized, every village and town had its slaughter house. In the slaughter of a beef in those early days practically everything excepting the hide and the beef was wasted. Now the horns, the bones, the hoofs and even the blood is utilized. Beef sella for about what is did then and the packers make their profits out of the by-products. In the oil refining business in the early days there was also much waste. Today a score of different products are taken from crude oil and, in the process of distillation, millions of dollars are saved that were formerly
wasted. Besides a great corporation like the Standard Oil company is able
to buy tank cars and great oil ships which so reduce the cost of distribution
as to make kerosene and gasoline comparatively cheap, while the company
has been able to make millions of dollars out of the business.
Compare the scientific manufacture and distribution of these two great
products with the manner in which farm produce is raised and distributed
To begin with, in spite of the agitation in favor of scientific and intensive
farming, very few farmers are actually applying these principles to the
raising cf crops. The first waste, then, comes from a failure to get out of
the land all that it is possible to get out of it by the application of modern horticultural methods. Then after the farm has produced its crops the farmer thinks too little about marketing his products. In other words the
farmer has neglected his sales department and he pays absolutely no attention to the problems of distribution. While the centers of population are paying high prices for vegetables, fruits, poultry and dairy products, apples are rotting on the ground, the farmers are giving away tomatoes, cherries ripen on the trees and remain unpicked. It is probable that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fruits and vegetables were absolutely wasted this year in Indiana alone. This is a startling fact when one stops to consider that the food the farmers wasted this year would have fed every poor family in the state. And this condition exists because the farmer has not yet solved the problems of the sale and distribution of his products. Supply and demand do not satisfy each other. To illustrate: A Hammond business man who uses several hundred dollars worth of milk every month, formerly bought his supply from a local dealer who in turn purchased it from Lake county dairy farmers. In Chicago there is a firm which has highly specialized the business of handling milk and other dairy products. This firm has a number of large dairy farms in Michigan. Every morning a special train brings the milk from these farms into Chicago, the milk and cream is brought to an unvariable standard of rtchness in butter fat, it is reshipped to Hammond and the Chicago firm is actually able to undersell the Hammond dealer. The secret of it all is scientific farming and perfect distribution. If a Chicago firm can ship milk all of the way from Michigan to Chicago, reship it to Hammond and then sell the consumer a better product for a lower price, it is an indication of what can be done along this line to reduce the cost of living. - ' . . '
Waste is an economic crime and not until thje farmer determines upon
a co-operative plan for the distribution of his products or some great corpor
ation devises a scheme to utilize the surpluses and by-products of the farm
will the cost of living be materially reduced.

SHOOTING MAY RESULT FATALLY. Asserting that Wlllia Gentry cut the harness from his horse to prevent him from calling on his sweetheart, Henry Meyers, of Boonvllle. shot and fatally wounded Gentry at Tennyson yesterday afternoon. Gentry was attacked by Meyers while on his way home, being knocked on the head and shot three times. There is little hope for his recovery. Anna Forks, the daughter of
a Warrick County farmer, it is said, had transferred her affections from Gentry to Meyers. When Gentry endeavored to renew his friendship he was warned by Meyers to remain away from the Farks home. Meyers, who Is under arrest, says Gentry had threatened his life. Both men are farmers. x WOMEXS' LIVES IMPERILED. Mrs. John Mays and daughter Lizzie had a narrow escape from drowning in Gullett's Creek, east of Bedford. They had walked to church, and when they reached the creek on their return home it had risen so high they were unable to cross It, and walked up the stream more than a mile, where they attempted to ford It. The swift current took them off their feet, and they wore carriel down stream until they succeeded , in catching hold of the limb of a tree, where they were prisoners nearly an hour before their cries for help were heard. They were rescued by two young men who happened to drive nearby. Both women are prostrated today. FOISOXED EATIXCi BIVALVES.

ARE YOU ENVIOUS? "There Isn't a happy face there." That Is what Miss Leonora Brokaw, society girl, says about the faces
she knows in the high society circles
which you and I know about only
through the Sunday newspaper features. .
Miss Brokaw is not deceived. She grew so tired of the social life
of New York she went out to Mrs.
Belmont's farm, donned overalls, lived
the simple life and says she has had
the only good summer since she was a child.
There's Julia French. Miss French Is heiress to a good
share of the Vanderbllt fortune. A
few weeks ago she shocked the Fonr
Hundred by her elopement and mar
riage to Jack Geraghty, a chauffeur.
She says of the millionaire circle:
I always hated that society. The
people are too vapid for me. Real men
are a rarity among them. The wmen
are superficial ana heartless. They
haven't time even to be kind."
Another witness:
Mrs. uertruae unman, wno was a
social leader in an eastern city, who Is cultured and traveled and counts her
wealth by millions, says she can find
no real pleasure In society. She has
given it all np to be a nun. And another:
Miss Marie Hirst, daughter of a rich Phlladelphlan, who has every chance for social advancement, will exchange
its gayety for the veil of the sister
hood. One more:
Mrs. Louis Bryan, wife of a Chicago millionaire, is suing ber husband for divorce because he does not give her money enough, whereas she has received ?40,000 & year pin money and there are sixteen automobiles In the
garage at her service. Now
Are you who think yourself unhappy
because you are poor really envious of
such people? Not a happy face there.
Of course not. The choice of these
people Is between idleness and dissipa
tion two roads both of which lead to
satiety and world weariness.

poseful endeavor and sacrifice. I

(Fifth Article.) One of the most interesting of the
conservationists who attended the de
liberations of the National Congress
recently at Kansas City was Judge Ben Lindsay of the Juvenile Court of Denon,
who in forcible and eloquent language
declared that there Is bond of sympathy
between the problem of the child and
he conservation of our natural re
sources. That children have been prime factors in the movement who es
tablished by Judge Lindsay who said in part:
The history of the first ten years
of the twentieth century, as finally
written, will be the recording of two
great revivals, conservation and the
hild. The children are the most im
portant factors In whatever the future
may hold in store for us.
"The cry of 'Back to the soil,' the
stimulus given by the conservation
movement and the various activities that have grown out of it to promote
the pleasures, advantages and opportu
nities of farm life, together with all
modern inventions, telephone, electric
ight. rural mall delivers', the trolley
and the automobile have not served to
check the onward march to the cities
The proportion of our people living in
rural districts declined from 63 per cent
n 1890 to 53 per cent in 1910, and our
experts in social economy assure us
that In all probability much more than
halt of our population will be in urban communities before 1920.
'Unless some new and unexpected
change shall come it is reasonable to assume that the next generation will
find more than half the children of the United States in the cities and towns. There is a temptation to follow that diversity afforded by a subject like that assigned me, which might lead us more
into the pleasantries that are supposed to be part of the Ufa of all country boys. The pity of it is most of the legends of the country boy are too

Otherwise we can scarcely account for
the growing disposition of country boys to flock to the cities.
"I believe the call to the city thai ia

It Is paternal. If the nation is to do its real duty to its children, it should pass the bill that has for the last six years been repeatedly offered in congress providing for the establishment ot a children's bureau in the department of commerce and labor. It is a kind of protection that is sadly needed in this country. "The fight for the childhood of today is the fight for the manhood of tomorrow. It Is the supreme battle of the century. It means a day of better things, a happier country, a more perfect civilization -
Forty-four States have adopted an age limit for the employment of children. The average wage of school teachers in Kansas has more than doubled in the past ten years. During the last two years the International Brotherhood of stationary Firemen has gained 9.900 members. Organized labor in Atlanta, Ga., hapurchased a site and will soon begin the erection of a $30,000 labor temple. The highest oriental wages are paid in the Philippines, where the ordinary laborer gets from twenty to f.fty cents a day. Fewer women over sixteen years of age are employed in the southern cotton mills than in the mills of the New England States. During the last year the Boot ano Shoe Workers' International Union has paid In sick, disability and death benefits a total of $S9. 297.23. In the various metal industries of Belgium nearly half the men work from nine to ten hours a day, and the majority of the rest from ten to eleven. Alabama, Florida, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana. South Carolina and Tennessee all have laws requiring all employers to provide seats for their female employes.
