The trusts strike against the
people when they control the
product and the people must
pay or perhaps starye. That is
lust what the highwayman does

formula OF robbery is different
but the thing is just the same.
Both demand your money with
out an equivalent. For if either
gave an equivalent neither would
be richer than before the robbery.

trusts. They are having the
widest publicity and seem to
thrive on it, If the profits OF
The Standard Oil or the coal

year, what good would that do?
Would that help the people they

The shortest story is this; the
trusts eliminate Unnecessary
competitor and labor. This in
sreases the army OF the nnerrn-
ployed. The army Of the un-
employed decreases the wages Of

trusts raise prices, latter killing

The average homesteader has
an idea that if he can evade the
requirements of law as to resi-
dsnce and cultivation ofthe land
he files upon, he has done some
thing that he can tell with pride
in his declining years, much the
same az his foreiathers told
about beating the revinue cutter
or custom house officer, when
they we're young" This 10 .
fatal mis- AXE on the part of the
person who files on piece Of
land. Filing on land is simply a
contract between tho entryman
and the government. The filing
fees paid by the entryman are q
pledge to bind the bargain on
his part, and the receipt given
by the land office for the money
paid is the first act Of the gov
eminent toward fulfilling it's part
OF the contract. The govern
ment agrees to sell l6O acres OF
land to the entryman at $l.25
per acre on condition that he
establishes and maintains resi-
dence on the tract for fourteen
months, or if the entryman
chooses. he may live on the land
for five years and get his deed
for nothing. In either event the
conditions OF the contract re-
auires residence and cultivation
of the land entered by the claim
ant, and if the entryman does
not comply with his part OF the
contract, then according to the
fundamental principal OF law, he
has forfeited his right to demand
OF the government to comply
with it's part Of the contract.
Surprising that the entryman
does make proof and his resi-
dence has not been up to the re-
qnirements OF law, his entry may
be contested on charges offraud-
ulent proof for two years after
a patent has been issued, and if
the charges are proven he will
loose his land, and If he has sold
the same the purchaser is put to
the expense and trouble of de-
Tending his title, secured through
the original entryman. So it
behoves homesteaders to bepar-
ticular to maintain actual resi-
dence on theft land, if they do
not want to beknown i'll common

It Is always the case when any fashion
becomes universally popular that some
thing in direct contrast at once IS made
the leading style. Long coats have for so
many months been fashionable that It is
not surprising short Jackets are now COM
ing into favor. For the cool days Of late
summer and early autumn the short Jacket,
either on the bolero or Elton order. is ex-
tremely smart, and there Is a wide range
CT choice in the different designs.
In yelling, serge, cheviot and light
weight cloth, silk and the heavier weaves
OF linen are made most OF the Jackets:
One popular style has rounded fronts and
reach the waist line. There are three mar
row collars overlapping one another. the
lowest finished with deep fringe . which
falls wei over the . at Inc sleeves hso
the elbow, with three pleats gathered into
a narrow cuff, the fullness Of the sleeve
falling over the cuff.
at the back and with short square fronts.
A fitted shoulder cape that Is finished with
pleated ruffie edged with ball fringe: 1t
Of this description have a sad tendency
toward making the wearer's figure look
short and thick, but when woman is tall
and slender enough to wear them she looks
uncommonly well.
Broad draped belts of silk, satin or vel
vet are again in fashion and look especial
ly smart when worn with the short jacket.
It is fashionable also to have the belt or
bodice made Of some contrasting color or
black, and this emphasizes the fact that
the jacket is short, but that the wearer Is
long wasted and has small waist. A
favorite model Is the short jacket with
fitted back and loose fronts. deliberately
trimmed with braid and with full under
sleeves Of embroidered muslin and full
front Of the same embroidery; the Jacket
is slashed in the back and Is also much
shorter in the back than in front. A light
weight smooth cloth, either in black or
TAM looks the best for this model.
Elaborate braiding is very fashionable
on the short jackets and both wide and
narrow braid is thought smart An inch
wide Hercules braid with a narrow SOU
in small circles or scallops is most effec..
tive, but the plain inch-wide Hercules used
in fiat effect always looks well. This
braiding is used both on jackets made
