Some men will put in one-half
their time abusing the existing
trusts and the other half they
devote to trying to study some
means of organizing a trust in
which they can occupy a place on
the ground floor. If a trust is
wrong, it is wrong, and organizing
another will not make it right.
But then, that is human nature,
you know.

400 and wasn't approached by anyone
else. This is all very interesting to the
Omaha fans who used to whoop 1t up
for George when he was premier swat
artist on the Omaha team two years
ago. Stone is an ideal base ball man.
He is built stoutly like a trip hammer.
His hands are large ad expressive ana
along in the middle of the summer his
neck burns down to a beautiful Tuscan
red which spreads over his face until
his smile looks like a streak of white on
a brick wall. Stone doesn't talk much
and he isn't fancy batter. He just
comes in from the field when his team
comes to bat like a hired man coming
to dinner, goes right up to the plate in
an honest, open-faced manner and hits
the ball with his club. Sometimes the
fielder gets back with the ball in time
for supper, but more generally they put
in new man to save time. 1t was
this business-lilSe way in which Stone
used to pick out a likely spot on the
ball and hit it with a. crack that
sounded like the giving way Of stay
bolt in large ladys costume, that won
the Omaha heart Another nice thing
about Stone was the way in which he
always came up to expectations Five
thousand people went to see him bat
one Sunday In a game with Kansas
City and he dubbed out four hits He
was business with a large robust B.
The batters with whom Rour'ke has
tried to fill his place have ratified
around in the cavity like hazel nuts
in wash boiler. Omaha has never
gotten over mourning for Stone. May
be the city will grow up large enough
to win him back some time.

heed Men who would throw OFF the
place a smoker who carried lighted
pipe or cigar into their barns, often
fail to listen to simple advice that
might save them the value of two such
barns in a year. Too many farmers
hold the impression that the only way
TO kill hogs is with an AK and a butch
er knife. These should pay attention
to Mr. Morgan when he tells them
that to stuff a herd of newly yarded
hogs on the heaviest feed is to invite
cholera The entire state is interested
in the prevention and cure OF a
scourge that costs the people of Iowa
more than all its fires cost the insur-
ance companies.
