DEMONSTRATING
Independence

A few years ago met farmer
who told me that from his earliest rec
objection he had never worried about
how he was to get living or make
money. He always felt competent to
handle those subjects without any
special mental effort.
There were other subjects over
which he worried. and no doubt many
who worry a great deal about how to
get living are free from trouble
when IL comes TO subjects that wor.
ried the farmer.
II a person can be born so that max
Ing money or getting living does not
cause any trouble, there must be a
mechanical path to follow In reaching
these desirable conditions.
One rule for earning money Is to
find out what you can best do, and
then seek the right market for your
work, and study supply and demand
and competition.
Naturalists tell us that In n school
IF fish those In the fore part are fat,
while the fish that bring up the rear
are always lean This was true In a
certain locality on the subject of
small fruit. Those who began raising
berries made nice sums OF money
from their investments, but In few
years, when everybody was raising
hem, there was no money in II.
Commercial sense enables one to
anticipate conditions and wants, and
be among the first to supply those
wants.
I noticed a few months ago shoe
maker selecting very desirable loca-
lion. one that would grow better with
each succeeding year, and he illus
trated his foresight in looking over
The field and securing the place which
ne did for his shop. Selecting a
location is one of the main sources Of
success.
Just after the war, friend told me
that he went West looking for loca-
lion. He studied two cities, and at
that time he was unable to see any
difference between them, but since
then one has grown but very little,
while the other has doubled several
lines in population.
From the way In which some men
select wisely nine times out OF ten,
there must be signs or principles to go
by in this important part OF prosper
ity

Youth and Vacation.

A youth, remarks Success, should
not choose a vocation merely because
he thinks he will attain distinction or
make money in It. Above his ambition
to become great merchant, lawyer
statesman, physician, artist or must.
clan, should be desire to become a
noble man. Other things being equal,
he should choose that vocation which
offers the largest opportunity for
growth, and which will keep pushing
his horizon little farther and farther
away from him. There are many call
ings that do not tend to develop a
man and keep him growing after the
first few years. The discipline In
them is only repetition of the exer-
else of certain faculties. There is no
pushing out, no variety OF experience

the mild-looking party stopped, and
gazing at the solitary figure, address

"Old man, wouldn't you like to

taking his quid from his mouth, and

Automobiles and Potatoes.

Rapid progress Is being made with
the preliminary plans for the produc-
ton of alcohol on large scale In
ireland for motor purposes, to which
the department Of agriculture In Ire
land Is now turning its attention.
Early next year 1t Is hoped that what
Is practically a new industry-the
making of alcohol from potatoes on a
large scale--will be in full swing In
Ireland. With one exception all the
petroleum consumed in this country
Is foreign product and the supply Is
limited. Alcohol, on the other hand,
Is much cheaper, can be produced In
unlimited quantity from the potato
and will drive a car just as fast. IL
the mechanism be slightly modified.
1t is probable that an international
alcohol competition" will be held In
Ireland next year, each car to use
alcohol of its own country's manufac.
ture. ...

EMPLOYERS TO FIGHT THE MEN
Meeting to Be Held in chicag, to Plan
Federation DISRUPTION.


Chicago, ILL.,, special: Il hope the
National Employers Association will
grow so strong that it can disrupt
the American Labor Union and the
Western Federation of Miners"
]. c. Craig of the Citizens Alliance
of Denver expressed the above desire
after conference with Secretary Fred
w. Job of the Chicago Employers as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Craig was one OK the leaders
that engineered the Citizens alliance
fight against the Denver labor unions
last spring, and was one of the or.
ganizers Of the National Employers
association. 'aa
"All the members of those organiza.
tons are anarchists or socialists"
call them the Western Federation Of
Murderers.'"
While the National Employers as
ISOLATION was organized, according to
its members, to crush all trade unions,
Mr.. Craig's statement was taken tc
mean that the struggle would be most
bitter in the West.
Arrangements have been made
by Mr.. Craig and Secretary Job for
the convention of employers. 1t will
be held Oct. 20 and 80 and during
the proceedings particular attention
will be paid to the National Civic
Federation, which holds convention
Oct. 16 and II in Chicago.
The intention, according to Score
tary Job, is to expose the Federation
and declare to the world that it does
not represent any one except its own
members.

WEATHER AIDS
CORN TO R|PEN
Conditions Are Exceptionally
Favorable for. Maturing
Late Crop.
LITTLE DAMAGE BY FROSTS
Drought Continues in the Ohio Valley,
Tennessee and the Central and West
Gulf States-Spring Wheat Is Damp
Cotton Goes Back.

Washington special: The wealth
er bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions for the
week ended Sept. % were generally
favorable, although cool nights were
detrimental in the south Atlantic,
Eastern and central Gulf states. while
light to heavy frosts, for the most
part causing no serious injury, were
reported in the most northerly dis
tricts eastward OF the upper Missouri
valley,
A marked feature of the week was
the absence of rain, or the lack of any
thing except light showers, over much
the greater part of the country east
OF the Rocky mountains, there being
only a few areas, of comparatively
limited extent, in the upper Mississip-
pi valley, the lake region and the
coast districts of the middle Atlantic
states and southern New England, in
which the rainfall exceeded the aver
age. .....-..... ......
Drought in Ohio.
Drought continues in the Ohio val
ley and with increased severity in
Tennessee and the central and west
Gulf states.
No unfavorable conditions are re-
ported from the Pacific coast, although
rain in southern California possibly
may have caused slight injury. South
ern Arizona and southwestern New
Mexico received unusually heavy
rains for that region, more than two
inches being reported from several
stations.
The principal corn states expert
enced weather conditions exception
ally favorable for maturing late corn,
and while frosts have been quite gen.
eral over the central and eastern por.
tons of the corn belt, no material
damage is indicated. Probably less
than 20 per cent of the crop in Iowa
Is unmatured, and while the proper.
ton yet exposed to injury in South
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin is
greater the immature will make good
feed. Farther south only small part
OF the crop Is still soft. Cutting Is
general in all sections, and some new
corn has been marketed in southern
Kansas.
Thrashing Advances.
While the conditions have been ia
vorable for thrashing spring wheat in
the spring wheat region, reports of
dampness of grain in shock as a re-
suit of previous rains continue. Har-
vest is now completed on the north
Pacific coast and thrashing has ad.
vanced.
With generally seasonable tempera.
ture and practically no rain over near
ly the entire cotton belt, cotton has
opened rapidly and picking has been
actively carried on, large part, of the
crop already having been gathered.

EXPRESS TRAIN
Stays QUINTET
Five Men Are Killed and
Nine Are Wounded in
the Crash.
FAST TRAIN STRIKES TROLLEY
Fatality at Fifty-second Avenue is
Laid by the Motorman to the slip
perry Condition OF Tracks.

Chicago, ILL.,. special: Five men were
killed and nine injured when the Wis
consin Central limited" running
at high speed, crashed into and
demolished a Forty-second avenue
trolley car at the Fifty-second avenue
crossing of the Illinois Central. The
trolley car was squarely across the
railroad tracks when the fast train
flashed into sight. There was no time
for the doomed passengers to escape.
The warning cry of the motorman,
struggling with brakes that refused to
hold on the wet rails, came too late
and In a moment the ponderous loco
motive and its heavy train had plunged
through and over the frail trolley car,
leaving death and wreck in its wake.
The trolley car was approaching
from the south on its way to the city.
The occupants, nearly all of whom
We're connected with the Harlem race
track, were discussing the days races.
A slow passenger train toward the
city was passing the car approached
the railroad track, the motorman
siackening speed to allow the train to
pull across.
Car Slides on Tracks.
When the track was cleared he start
ed ahead at full speed, unconscious of
the approach of the swift express
train. Conductor Enright saw the
headlight of the locomotive and shout
ed warning, John Luney, who was
seated at the end of the car, repeated
the cry, and, with the conductor
jumped to the street. The motorman
sought to stop the car, but the slip
perry rails prevented the brakes from
being effective.
With sickening crash the heavy
engine struck the car near the center,
cutting it completely in two and hurl-
ing passengers and wreckage to either
side. Screams and groans filed the
air as the survivors hurried to the aid
of their stricken companions.
On the opposite side of the track
was another trolley car, which had
not attempted to cross. The crew and
passengers Of this car FASTENED to aid
tue injured.
The express train stopped and it's
crew Joined in the work of rescue.
Quick calls for help were sent and
patrol wagons and ambulances from
the Lawndale and other police sta
tons hurried to the spot.
Four bodies were taken from the
wreck, with the crushed and senseless
form of Joe William, jockey, who a
few hours before had narrowly escaped
riding to victory on Carat in the last
race at Harlem. William died in the
ambulance on the way to the hospital
and the body was taken to the county
morgue.
Motorman Gilveney declared the
brakes would not work and he could
not stop his car when he saw the dam
