From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Gen. Corbn may point for vindication to
the rather severe regulation of marriage of
officers in the British, German and French
armies; but let US not forget that these
countries are under forms of government
very different from ours. Many of the rep
resentatives of the United States who are
sent abroad to gain by observation and
contact bring home stock Of information
that is not applicable.

James A. Funkhouser, the we'll

cattle industry when serviceable
bulls of the Hereford breed were

He thinks this a good indication

they are no harder to raise, in

ordinary cattle for the reason,
that being hornless, they cannot

here last week looking for steers
for feeders. He purchased from
John Kennedy, near FIT. Nc

steers, paying S25 around for 3's
and As and $50 per head for top
two's. He also looked at some

mitted bid on them. These
cattle will be shipped to Came

them. principally on corn for the
market next spring.
Mr.. Finn said there would not
be as many cattle fed at the Came
ron oil mills this year as in form.
er years. He said the price of
cake was too high taken in con-
nectlon with the prices asked by
the stockmen for feeders, The
corn crop, however, having been
large in that section and the price
of corn being low, there will be a
good many cattle fed on corn.
The steers purchased by Finn
will be fed on corn he raised on
his own farm. He is also feeding
carload of hogs there, having
raised both the corn and the hogs.
He says at the present price of
corn, n man can make more
profit feeding corn to hogs and
cattle than by selling 1T. Mr.,
Finn believes there is Il good OPP
portunity to feed steers this fail
and make good profit. If the
steers are bought Mt reasonable
price and fed oil cheap corn,
there is bound to be profit in the
operation for the feeder. Where
Il man has raised his own corn,
he Is still more certain of profits,
and where he has raised his own
corn and hogs, as Mr. Finn has
done, he can very protitably feed
porkers for the market.

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.
Grains and Good Department n WIN
ming Combination.

The value OF brains In business can.
lot be overestimated, of course; but
neither can the value Of manners.
Don't make the error of supposlng that
brains are everything. You may have
the best set Of brains in the town bur
II you haven't the manners Of n gentle
man nobody Is going TO appreciate
you. Your manner Is the outward in.
Ilication of what you are within i'm the
estimate of most people, and If the
manner is disagrecablc few will take
the trouble to examine into you any
further.
Inc consensus of general opinion Is
that the man who goes about with
porcnplne quilts as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothcring about Did
you never notice that the men who em.
ploy large forces OF intelligent people
look ut an applicant closely. ask Il few
seemingly unimportant questions and
promptly employ or dismiss him? They
don't sound his brain depth; they don't
obtain his biography; they don't inquire
Into his social standing; they size him
up from his manners, and IL he is brass
on the surface they don't look for gold
within.
The employer knows that if an april |
cant's manner strikes him favorubly II |
Will also favorably strike people with
whom he comes In contact In his work.
And nobody knows better than big
business man that favorable first i'm
'ression means half the sale. People are
lpt to think that If there is any place
where manners are of little consequence
is In business, where cold calculation
o largely takes the place of feeling
'ut the truth Is that nowhere else are
manners Of such importance as In ev-
ryday dealings. There Is no capital
nd equipment any young man can
ave that will pay him better than
ood manners. There is no possible
llling for which this does not better
him. If he has brains the world
ives him something, but unless he has
BOD manners he Will have hard time
