Mr.. John D. Rockefeller must have
been much edited by, a sermon which
his pastor, Rev. Dr., Johnson, preached
in the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church
last Sunday. The subject of the dis
course was Money Madness and the
preacher declared that oney-getting
WAS the passion of life to-day, and that
it was a grievous mistake. "'Put
money in thy purse is the philosophy
Of the age" he said, and further: IF
man is to make the accumulation of
a large fortune his sole aim in life,
then most Of us are miserable failures. 4"
Nevertheless he tempered his remarks
so that they would not wound Mr..
Rockefeller. Remember, after ALL"
he admonished, 1.-THE delight of life lies
in a contented disposition and a trust
in God" Mr.. Rockefeller declares that
he gets much consolation from his re-
ligion, while piling up the greatest
fortune in the world.

The natural conditions that bring

a coat Of grass as IL man ever saw.
But there are other things in the way
that block the road to prosperity.
Some mighty big chunks are living
along the path that the stockman
has to travel in the future. First OF
all comes the unsettled conditions of
the school land. There is demand
FOR this land for actual settlement.
ana however strong we may fight
legislation of that kind it is coming,
and let us tell YOU now. ifindications
count for anything. it is coming
right away. This will leave many
OF our ncighbors in Il hard shape: it
Will force lots OF cattle on the mar
ket and thereby lower the price.
Then comes that quarantine legis-
latlOn proposed in oklahoma, keep
lng cattle out OF that Territory. |
That Will be another severe blow,
and will without doubt have II low
ring tendency. Couple to that the
threat OF northwestern buyers and |
northern feeders that they will not
gay last years prices for steers, and |

tie in Texas at this season OF the
year is that they have had their
hammers too much in evidence,
While the average Texas cowman is
prepared to concede that some losses
have occurred in the Northwest this
winter, he does not understand why
that unfortunate fact should he
steadily pnraded as the paramount
reason why he should take from r.
to 50 per head from the real value of
MS cattle as an incentive to the
Northwestern man to buy. 1t is
morally certain that Texas cowmen
are not responsible for climatic con-
ditiOns that exist In the Northwest
ern range country, and there exists
no valid reason why they should be
called upon to assume even small
proportion OF such losses as are said
to have occurred.
Our Northwestern friends have not
manifested the proper spirit i'm their
dealings with Texas cowmen. For
two years now they have persistent
ly hammered on prices. They have
filled the Texas range country with
cmissaries at certain seasons of the
year to report upon the number of
cattle held upon the |
ranges. II the number has appeared |
large, they have been quick to raise
the cry of eXcess-tllnt the supply |
was much greater than the demand.

In all this crowd there was
but one woman who as the say.
ing goes, "walked likea queen.
Much taller than average, her
stately, graceful carriage is the
more striking. She has never
studied the "art Of walking, "
you would know that it was not
a result of training. She is one
OF the very few whom Nature
has blessed with grace Of mo-
ton, and it is only one in tbous-
andS who is so favored. Have
you ever noticed how few are
the people whom you have to
watch, walk because of especial
grace? You will admire a hun.
dred pretty faces while you will
find but one who's walk attracts
you. 1t is the rarest Of gifts.
Most people Of today carry
themselves we'll, but the perfect
grace cannot DE had just for the
trying. Yet Canyon City can
boast Of one woman so favored.
This is not all about straight
shoulders. Anybody can have ,
straight shoulders. Unlike
pretty face they will not fade if |
you will to keep them. They |
are more than skin deep, and .
since ''pretty is as pretty does,"
the man or woman with straight
shoulders feels straighter. When
you feel lonely and downcast |
-disc your shoulders and your
spirits will rise. 1t is the best |
Medicine you can take and
mark of beauty that is in the
each of all. Let US strai~hten

THE GRACE OF BEAUTY
Straight Shoulders an I'M
pOrtant Feature.

Everybody admires pretty
faces, and the great majority o
people would be happy, indeed
to wear one, but like so many
other things, standards differ
The face you call beautiful your
friend may not admire at all,
and where your friend finds
beauty you see no attraction.
We read too, THAT beauty fades,
that it is only skin deep, that
pretty is as pretty does" and
many more little thoughts to
console those who are not bless
ed with good looks. In spite Of
this, beauty continues to attract,
and most people endeavor to
present the best appearance they
can, which is everyhodys' duty.
Few are so ugly but what lit
tie thought and time will i'm
prove them.
There is one mark of beauty
that no one denies, one that is
universally admired.
All nations and all times have
delighted in staight shoulders.
The woman with plain, or even
homely face, is attractive if she
walks with a body properly pois-
ed, and is more admired than Il
pretty face that appears above
stopped shoulders.
Straight shoulders are not on
ly mark of beauty, but they |
give an impression of health in
body and mind. Even though
man or woman be poorly or shah
billy dressed it never occurs to
you that they need help or sym
pathy if they carry themselves
we'll. Low spirits and despUnd-
ent mind arc not associated with
straight shoulders and quick
energetic step.
While your sympathy goes out
almost involuntdrily to the man
or woman who Shuffles along the
street bent and stopped, it be
speaks a burden of mind and
body, or both.
1t is interesting to watch the
people walk. Not many weeks
ago several women were idling
time away by watching from an
office window, the people going i
up town from a matinee; the OBJ
ject of all seemed to be to get

Good News For The Deaf.


1t is heartily wished by lovers
5 of the race that the new device
which is said to enable the deaf
: to hear may be entitled to- all
that is claimed for it. OF course
there must be some cases beyond
: mechanical or other relief. The
inventor of the new piece Of
mechanism believes that if there
has been no destruction of the
mechanical devices in the ear
and no paralysis of the auditory
nerve, the deaf person can be-
made to hear.
The apparatus differs from
others previously tried in the
use OF Il battery to intensity the
sound, and in the constructions
OF transmitter collects and
transmits sound waves. the bat.
terry intensifies them and the re-
ceiver delivers them to the ear.
1t is Il we'll known fact that
many deaf people can receive
messages by telephone whicr
they cannot hear as well as.
otherwise.
The experiments thus far
made seem to have been WITH
the young, and it is probably
the child who will reap the
greater benefit from the new
discovery if it is perfected for
pracital use. The invention
will facilitate the education of
the deaf, and as a means of
communicating with Others il
Will add much to their enjoy
ment of life. The worst incon-
venience of deafness will be-
overcome, and with the restora~
ton OF bearing in Childhood

AN EXPENSIVE CHANGE.
VIII Cost Many Thousands of
Dollars IN This State.
Old WindmiIIs viii Be Retained

In view Of the announcement OF me
teorOlogists that Kansas wind is de-
creasing IN strength and persistence, q
recent action Of the Union Pacific rail
way Is significant and tends to confirm
the statements Of the scientists
Orders have been issued by the Union
Pacific management to install gaso-
line engine at every water tank IN kan
sas where the water is pumped from
wells The gasoline engine win be kept
in readiness TO do the work which the
company has depended on the wind
mills TO do and which they have treaeh-
erously failed to do at critical times. In
short, the Union Pacific has found that
1t cannot take the risk of waiting for
the wind to pump its water.
The cost Of making the change viii
be heavy. The company win NOT en-
tireIy abandon the windmill equipment
at its water tanks. but viii put n the
gasoline engine in addition TO the wind
mill When there is wind. it win be
made to do the work But when the
old reliable Kansas zephyr fails to put
in it's appearance, gasoline viii take its
place.
There are probably twenty-five sta
lions in Kansas where the Union Pa

motors As the installation of a motor
involves the construction Of an engine

several hundred dollars at each Of the

thought that tne change can be COM
pleted. and then the wind can blow or

supply is concerned
Several times during the past summer,
Union Pacific locomotives have run

enough wind TO keep the pumps going.
and that the supply OF water was there

been pumped BY hand to supply the

casions where a serious tie up Of traf-
fec was narrowly averted. because OF
the failure Of the wind to keep the
pumps going.
