In view Of the recent decision of
the supreme court of tho state of
Iowa, the saloon keepers Of Nc
Gregor concluded to stop business.
Every saloon is closed, the sigus
taken down, and the business prac-
tically at an ond. The recent de
cision that is playing such general
havoc with the dealers in the ar
dent holds the present law consti-
tutional and in reality deprives the
saloenkeepsr Of a trial by jury by
holding that the keeping a saloon
where liquor 10 sold in violation Of
the law may be enjoined and abated
as a nuisance. This is by far the
severest blow the saloon men have
received, as their faith in jury,
towns along the Mississippi, was
unbounded. To have all these
cases submitted to 2 court that de-
cides cases according to the law and
evidence leaves the saloon men no
chance whatever, and they are lit
orally compelled by this decision to
90 out of the business. An effort
will no doubt be made by the sa-
loon men TO secure the next legis-
laturc, so that the statute will be
repealed.

York with $4,000 in cash. and
bought bill of dry goods amount
ing to over $4,000. This was nine
years ago. His sales the first wear
were $4,000, and increased steadi-
ly until lastyear they amounted TO
1924, 600. The first week OF this
March he visited New York for
spring goods, and brought with him
statement Of his affairs, showing
that he could close out his business
Immediately and have a cash capi-
tai of $4,000. He is the largest
customer Of the salesman who help
ed him at the start, and he does
not forget the friendship and favor
that in the beginning was the foun-
dation of his business.
Wherein lies the secret of this
young merchants success? In his
answering and undertaking hon
esty. 1t was his honest upright
character that gave him credit at
the start, and it abides with him
still. 1t is said of him that in all
the years OF his business he never
made but one claim for q short
age OF goods, but that often he
has reported mistakes in favor of
the jobber, which he corrected and
mailed the difference in money.
This is certainly a refreshing side
in dry goods history which jobbers
would be glad to appreciate, but
seldom have opportunity, as mis-
takes in the jobbers' favor are not OF
frequent occurrence.
There is no patient right for this
young merchants success, the way
is open for every boy and clerk in
store-for where is a will there
there is way. Try it, young clerk
behind the counter; work for
it and aim to be an employer your
self.

be and that business is quite as
good and the situation Of the coun-
try quite as encouraging as we
ought to expect. There are many
workers out of employment, and
hardly any enterprise is making
much money; yet most people are
getting enough to eat and enough
to wear, and are living along in
happiness with reasonable economy
The country is rich and sound at
the core; and when all inflated and
delusive concerns are settled up
and cleared away, we shall find
that we are great deal better of

1t is q fact much to be regretted
that many Of our farmers are too
careless about providing good wa
tering places and good water for
their horses. Very often farm hor-
ses are compelled to drink from
creeks and brooks, which are liable
to run low in the summer season,
when the water becomes warm and
unfit for any living thing to drink.
Even this may do for horses that
are in pasture, but when horses
that work hard are compelled to
quench their thirst at such places it
is not only inhuman but unprofita-
BILE as well. Not only wells of good
water should be provided, but
troughs so arranged that the water
left in from one time to another can
be drained off and a fresh supply
furnished before the horses are al
lowed to drink. Good, pure water
is as essential for the welfare of the
horse as good food, and no other es-
sential is so easily provided.

Kind Words.

In an article headed "Memphis
and the country press" the strong
and steady Appeal has some good
words for its country brethren. 1t
has this is say to the readers of the
country press: The smallest coun-
try paper is invaluable to the home
people; it does more for them for
nothing than many a high official
does for salary. The first duty
of the people is to support their
country paper. 1t is their represen-
tative-an index to their character.
If is permitted to languish it shows
that the community is not progress
siye. But if it be bright and newsy
and full of hope, and its local col
umns sparkling, the people may be
regarded as thrifty, intelligent and
prosperous. 1t devolves upon the
people to make such a journal.
Such a paper without appreciate
readers casts pearls before swine
and will languish and die. Capt.
talists and immigrants appreciate
enterprise, and are often governed
in making sinvestments and locat-
ing by the standard of the coup try
paper. Every citizen should con
slider it his first duty to subscribe
for his country paper before sub
scribing for the daily or the nam
moth weeklies published elsewhere.

Exchange: At first the watch
was about the size of desert
plate. 1t had weights and was
used as a pocket clock" The
earliest known use Of the modern
name occurs in the record of 1852,
which mentions that Edward VI
had 'larum or watch of iron, the
case being likewise Of iron gilt, with
two plummets of lead" The first
watch may readily be supposed to
have been Of rude execution. The
first great improvement-the sub
stitution of springs for weights,
was in 1860. The earliest springs
were not coiled but only straight
pieces Of steel. Early watches had
only one hand and being wound up
twice day they could not be eK-
pscted to keep time nearer than
fifteen or twenty minutes in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver and
brass, the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and
were four or five inches in diameter.
A plain watch cost more than
81 800, and after one was ordered IL
took a year to make it.

A norseman of experience argues
in an exchange that the food of a
horse is not designed to make fat
but rather muscle. Corn and other
heating food should not be given
when hard work is expected. 1t
makes fat which exercise runs of
as rapidly as it is made. AS the
horses stomach is relatively. small
er than that Of any other domestic
animal he needs little at a time and
often. When at hard work, grain
or meal is neces sary, as hay alone
is too bulky and not sufficiently nu-
tritious to give requisite strength.
Horses can be kept on good hay
alone, but a grain ration daily is
better economy. If they are never
fed grain their stomachs becomo
unduly distended. If an attack oi
heaves will be incapactiated for do
ing full work, especially on the road
or where activity is required.

Three were killed outright, one being
blown out of the back door, crushed and
broken to Il mass one other was so badly
hurt that death was but the question of n
few hours two others were seriously
hurt, with probability that they will live
only few days, while one escaped with
but little injury. The building Was about
15x3O feet. The Cinnamon slept in the
rear part. The first charge was placed
almost under the upright piece midway,
where the two sections nrc joined, and the
second charge was ut the rear of the
building. They were judicously placed
to dcm0lish tho building and kill the oc-
cupants, and the hellisli purpose of the
ficnd who planned 1t was highly success
ful. The building was entirely destroyed.

The Sullivan.Ryan Fight.

Sporting men OF Butte and others in
that city who feel interested In seeing ex.
hibitions of the so-called "manly art" are
very much exercised over tho fact that
the prohibitory prize, fighting law passed
Mt tho last session of the Legislature will
prevent the Sullivan.l.yan fight from com.
ing of in Butte. Unwilling to give up
the show, which would probably attract
many spectators to their town, they are
now trying to look up some scheme for
evading the law and allowing the fight to
take place in Butte. If this cannot bc
done they wish to make that city the
gathering point, and to have the fight
come oil across the line in Idaho, only
few hours ride from Butte. They think
this can be arranged satisfactorily and
special trains run for the occasion. A
representative to Arrange matters has al.
ready left New York for Butte, and when
he arrives there the Butteites will spring
this scheme on him, and ii it works they
will be made happy. That town needs
boom OF some kind, and no wonder they
are anxious for the fight.-Herald,
