South America
Prepares For The
Opening of Canal
Washington, Dec. 19.—Forsee
ing a rapid increase in traffic on
the west coast of South America
on the completion of, the Panama
canal, shipping interests on that
side of the continent are maging
elaborate preparations to command
it, according to a report from
'American Consul Alfred Winslow
at Valapraiso, Chile, made public
today by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. Valpa
raiso alone, says the consul, is
‘making ready to spend $13,000,000
on its harbor. Several lines, many
of them now plying directly from
South American ports to European
points, will build vessels to care
for the western coast traffic
through the canal, and, according
to Mr. Winslow, are planning to
route their vessels by way of New
York or possibly some more south
erly port in the United States, ‘
The Chilean congress is consid
ering Mr, Winslow adds, ‘‘the
grant of subsidies for the establish
ment of lines to ply through the
canal.”
A Chilean steamship corpora
tion has cffered to put on a line
between Valparaiso and Europe
by way of Panama and New York
on a guaranty by the government
of six per cent return on the in
vestment. Congress, says the con
sul probably will sauthorize the
grant,

Woman, With Pass,
Ejected From Train
Gets $l,OOO Damage
Rome, Ga,, Dec. 19.—Because
she was put off a train ‘n a corn
patch, Mrs. F, R. Morris, of
Birmingham, Ala., will get $l,OOO
from the Central of Georgia rail
road unless a higher court decrees
otherwise,
Mrs, Morris boarded a Central
train December 26, 1911, at Rome
with a pass as her medium of
transportation, as her husband at
that time was an engineer on the
Central. Conductor Ruff refused
to honor the pass on the grounds
that it bore the date November
30, 1911 and was out of date. Soon
after leaving Silver Creek the train
was stopped and Mrs. Morris was
put off in an open field, she claims.
““She sure did give me a tongue
lashing,” said Conductor Ruff on
the stanc.
Indignant and enranged, Mrs.
Morris claims she had to walk to
Lindale, a distance of two miles,
and from there catch a train back
to Rome. She had a photograph
made of the pass and 1t was intro
duced in court. It bore the expi
ration date of December 30, 1911.
““He talked to me like a dog,” ¢
she said, referring to the conduc
tor.

From Five Bushels Cf
Corn to 100
We cameto Virginia from Kan
sas ten years ago last March,
We paid for our farm, but had
no working ecapital, in fact no
money at all, and it is hard any
where to do anything without
money. - We started to work and
got some good corn on creek,
bottom, and a house uf tobacco,
but the upland corn was nothing, 1
I think five bushels to the acres
or hardly that, we did not real
ize at the time what was wrong,
but we soon saw that there was
no humus in the land. So
we started with peas, then oates
for hay, and crimson clover, and
now we can raise 100 bushels of
corn to the acre. We have al-
ready got more than 100 bushels.
This year we realized a good
crop of corn, tobacco and seven
tons of oats and white-blooming
crimson clover hay on two acres
without any rain. One of my
sons got a $25 premium for rais-l
ing the most corn onone aere in
the county, and six months sub
scription to the Progresive Far
mer, and a blue ribbon at the
State Fair.—Fred Herring, in
the Progressive Farmer.
