ESTIMATED crop losses decrease
daily as more recent reports come in
July heat evidently had a more dis
astrouseffect on crop statisticians than
any other GLASS of people. and judg-
ing from their bad guessing, the heat
affected their minds much more seri-
ously than il did corn. Farm hands
are now in great demand in several
parts of Nebraska, and in many places
corn will yield 20 bushels to the
acre. Statisticians said a few weeks
ago that under any conditions the
maximum yield of these same dis
tricts would be three bushels TO the
acre 1t is gratifying to know that
the crop guessers' gesses are not to

YET HE WILL NOT BE SO UNHAPPY.
William X. Vanderbilt is to be
pitied. He declares great wealth,
and especially inherited wealth. is q
bar to happiness, as "sure death to
ambition as cocaine is to morality"
The millions bequeathed to him left
him nothing to hope for, seek for or
strive for
Has Mr.. Vanderbilt ever thought
how much good he could do with his
inherited miIlions?" asks the Rock
ford Star. 'All over the land are
young men, ambitious to secure an
education. but who lack the means.
Thousands of them must leave the
public schools and 90 out into the big
world to battle for bread. Has he ever
thought how many of these he could
put on the highway to happiness? In
his own city. indeed not far from his
own palatial mansion, are scores suf-
fering for the bare necessaries OF life.
Has he ever thought that he could let
the sunlight into their darkened
lives? In his home city hundreds die
annually in hot, unwholesome, un-
sanitary tenements. Has he ever
thought that he has the power to tear
down these disease breeding spots
and erect in their place comfortable
homes for the unfortunate? If Mr..
Vanderbilt is living a sad, unhappy
life it is not because his father left
him too many millions. but because
he puts no portion of these millions
to good uses"
He should "hope for, seek for and
strive for" the betterment of the poor
and lowly instead of outstanding and
adding to his unearned wealth and
ultimately dying. as Carnegie puts it,
''disgracGd by riches"

WHEN Gov. Beckhsm, of Kentucky,
objected to the erection of q colored
church near the capitol in Frankfort,
the northern press condemned the
young official with all severity. The
south has waited one month and has
been given an opportunity TO retail
ate. In Brooklyn, y. Y, a colored
minister recently moved into a white
neighborhood to be close to his church.
and has not had peaceful moment
since. Night and day his white
neighbors, who denounced the obiec-
tion Of Beckham, gather in front of
the preachers home and sing:
Coon, coon, coon, I wish my color would
fade.
Coon, coon, coon, 1 Ike different shade.
Coon, coon, coOn-morning, night aud noon,
wish was a white man instead OF q coon,
coon, coon
Of course there is no comparison
between the Kentucky and the New
York incident. One is in the north,
the ether in the south; one is ina re-
publican community, the other
among democrats.

KTTIEs IN A JUNKsHoP.
They Are Old Sewing Machines That Are
Bought For 81.

They Are Old Sewing AIaehines That Are
Bought For 81.
"Got any kitties?''
The junk dealer looked startled, for
the question betokened an intimate
knowledge of the jargon Of his kind.
"Why, yes, guess so, " he responded
when he could get his breath. What
the buyer meant was an old sewing ma
chine which could be turned in to the
sewing machine company as part pay
ment ON a new machine. The company
allows 50 on an old machine, and some-
times the agent or canvasser allows So
more out of his commission ON the sale.
The public imagines that in some
way these old machines are valuable to
the company, but, in truth, they are OF
use only as arguments in forcing a sale.
In the standard makes of machines there
is supposed to be absolutely no cut in
prices, and the only way that "a seeming
reduction can be made is by taking IN
an old machine and allowing for it.
The company does this not for the sake
of getting the machine, but for the sake
of making trade. Once the old timer
is in their possession il is broken up and
sold to a junk dealer.
The companies know, of course. that
n large number of the families who
turn in old machines said To have been
bought by them before the flood really
come from the secondhand stores and
cost only 81. At this rate the buyer gets
an allowance of $40, which. deducting
the 81, leaves net 50. If there does hap
pen TO be an old one in the possession of
the family, the whole SO is realized.-
