Railroad Retrenchment


Talk of retrenchment on other lines,
notably the Baltimore & Ohio, and report
ed heavy reduction In working force by a
large locomotive company were regarded
as indica tive Of business contraction. Con-
illusions to be drawn from the weekly
crop bulletin proved rather battling, but
the fall In wheat left no room for much
disturbance over the crops. London re
ported prospects for a revived market
with the passing Of the stock market set
Element and of the half yearly settlements.
Readings statement of May net earnings
was poor, and that of Chesapeake & Ohio
better than the average. There were no
gross earnings report by important sys-
TENS. An advance in the price of re
fined sugar met no response in the stock
market.
The dwindling of the bond market is
disappointing to those hoping for improve
ment starting from that department.
Movements of many dormant issues sug-
gest investment search, but the usually
active list of bonds shows some declines
in prices and a number of gaps where no
transaction is recorded. Total sales, par
value, s., 095. 600. United States govern
ment bonds were unchanged on call.

The Girth Of Man lncre asing.

An excellent illustration of the value
Of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question Of physical degen'
eracy. A firm in the north Of England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations ago
with those of to-day, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
nients are now three inches on the av-
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. The same conclusion is reached
by the experience Of the ready-mads
clothiers. These facts. whatever may
be their generality. do not quite dis.
pose of the question of degeneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
of the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings; but
the testimony regarding the unfitness
Of recruits and progressive lack Of
stamina In town, and especially manu-.
featuring, populations cannot be disre.
garded. The girth Of man may be In.
creasing. but, like a fatting hog, is not
corpulency bringing clumsiness?

For Compulsory Athletics.

Rev. DR.. Percy s. Grant. speaking
before the League for Political Edu-
cation, at New York. said that the
coming New Yorker would be 6 feet 8
inches high and have the chest meas
urement of prize fighter. Judging
from the increased standard of mo-
rality and intellectually In our uni.
versities since athletics became univer-
sal and popular, DR.. Grant says that
physical training should be an impor-
tant part Of the public school system.
He had noticed that % per cent of the
national guardsmen were too poor
physically to pass the doctor.

and asked them their price on coffee.
They quoted it to him. Then he asked
that reduction could be made on a s.,
600 pound lot and the coffee men fgur-
ed discount. He asked for rates on
10000 pounds, and was offered little
larger discount. Then he staggered the
firm by asking for rates on 10000
pounds, and they thought he was bluff
ing, but allowed him a very low rate.
He said he'd take 80. 900 pounds. A
few weeks later, coffee advanced 8
cents, and the grocers who were in the
10000 pound deal about doubled their
usual profits on Coffee
There are two cooperative wholesale
houses now doing business, one at Chi
cago and one at Philadelphia. A third
is being organized at Boston. At pres
ent, the SIS cooperative stores in Kan
sas buy their goods from the regular
wholesale houses.
Ultimately, the cooperative union
expects to have its own factories. But
that is one of the dreams of the organ
iZers which is somewhat Utopian- It
is not expected to be realized very
soon.
The largest cooperative store in
Kansas is the one at Olathe, which also
conducts four branch stores. This store
was organized originally by the Grange,
but it is a strictly cooperative propo-
sition. The store at Hutchinson is also
doing a business of about 1900 a
month. There is one cooperative gro
Gerry store in Topeka, which also has
an agreement with Is Topeka mer-
chants in different lines of business by
which these merchants take the CO.
operative trade coupons the same as
cash. The trade COUPONS are then re-
deemed by the Rochedale association
The following are the points at which
cooperative stores are now in opera
ton, all in the list being Kansas towns,
with one exception, which is just across

CHILDREN'S DAY.
Midwinter Sample Booths Will Serve
the Little Folks Saturday.

Saturday afternoon will be Children's
Day at the Midwinter exposition
The little folks who have been slight
ed by the people who have things TO
give away, and samples of stuff to eat,
will be the whole thing on Saturday
No grown-ups viii be allowed to eat
anything during the afternoon.
Mana ger Brigham started the move
ment by suggesting that the ego See
booth serve the children on Saturday
afternoon and no one else. The man
ager agreed to this. Then the Mokaska
booth and the Kist1er- Metzler Mercan-
tile company followed the lead 1t is
probable that all the other booths at
the Midwinter will adopt the same plan.
If there are any little girls who feel
bad because they were not invited 10
try q sample of something, Saturday
win be their opportunity - get even.

CURTIS is AT HOME.
Report That He Stopped at Leaven-
worth a Mistake.

Congressman Curtis reached Topeka
from Washington last night. The re-
port that he had stopped off at Leav-
enworth to look after his interests in
the primaries there was incorrect. The
report came from the Hoch headquar-
tiers and on the strength of that it was
published by the State Journal.
Senator Burton wired ahead for
rooms at the Copeland and arrived this
afternoon from St. Louis. He is ac-
companied by Congressman Miller.
In speaking of the outlook in the
First district fight from his standpoint
Mr.. Curtis said:
4 am well pleased with the political
outlook. With a solid delegation from
the Soldiers home, which will be in
structed for me, I viii have two more
than enough votes to reron1inate me at
Holton next Tuesday. I have carried
everything but three counties in the
district. IfIwere as badly beaten as the
opposition to me, 1 would drop out of
the fight.
4 do not know what viii be done
with regard to the Jackson county del
egation- 1 understand there will be
two delegations from that county, but
do not know what action the con-
gressional committee will take concern
ing the matter. However, without
Jackson or Atchison I have the fight
won.
Il am we'll pleased with the Hoch
movement 1t looks as though Hoch
would be nominated by accIamation."

IN ONE BIG UNION.
Cooperative Concerns Take
Steps to Combine.

At the meeting of the Kansas State
Cooperative union, which is being held
today and Saturday in the council
chamber at the city hall, the members
will discuss the organization of state

tive retail stores in Kansas.
The central buying agency will be
but the preliminary step to great
cooperative wholesale house which II
is proposed to establish. At present a
cooperative wholesale house would not

He would then obtain estimates on the
amount of certain lines of goods when

orders would be Jumped, and the agent
would proceed to dicker with wholesale
