THEIR OLD TRICKS.

1t seems that some of the flour expor-
tiers of the northwest are up to their old
tricks. 1t is an open secret among mil
lers that Kansas hard winter wheat
makes better bread than northern
spring wheat, but the Kansas flour is
newer and foreigners have thus far
been educated to believe that northern
flour is the better. Kansas flour, how
ever, is rapidly pushing its way to the
front, and to maintain their prestige
Minnesota millers have bought Kansas
wheat to mix with their northern wheat
in order to improve the quality of their
flour. This sort of thing was begun
three or four years ago, but the Mime
sofa millers strenuously denied it.
Now it is discovered that northern
-four dealers are not even taking the
trouble to grind the flour themselves.
They are said to be buying the flour it
self from Kansas mills and selling it
as coming from the north. A recent
number of the Modern Miller publishes
the following:
Northwestern persons bought some
Kansas flour which was shipped out
this week from the mill under letter
brand to a Pennsylvania point. After
the -four had gone forward and the
bills of lading passed into the hands
of the northwestern purchaser, the
ladings were exchanged for new set
which showed the origin of the flour
as Minneapolis, Mimi, and attached to
draft on Pennsylvania dealer How
much did the exchanging of the Kansas
bills of lading for a set of the Mime
apolis documents improve the quality of
the Kansas flour. and is the flour now a
Minnesota hard wheat patent?"
OF course this utilities Kansas flour,
! but 1t gives the northern article credit
for the merits of our product. This
years wheat crop in Kansas will turn
out superior quality of flour, and
Kansas ought to get the credit for it.
IF she does it will not be long until the
world will be buying Kansas flour on
its own merits and not giving Minneso-
to the credit for it.

only get the good of them, but they
will make the city more attractive
and increase the value of city prop
erty.
What would you think of a city
without parks? They are being recog-
nized more and more as a valuable
civic asset, not so much because of the
pleasure they bring the well-to-do
citizen, as for the benefit they are to
the poor. In discussing this subject
the Philadelphia inquirer says:
THE time has long gone by when,
except by the unintelligent or the pig
headed few. the expense of maintain
ing parks for the public enjoyment
and comfort is considered either ex-
travagance or a burden. 1t is in days
like these-days of extremely hot
weather-that the absolute necessity
for parks becomes plainly apparent.
The wealthy can fly to Europe or to
the mountains and the seashores. but
the masses must remain in the cities,
and to these masses a city's open
squares and parks become GASES
among the parched and heated streets.
The park, the open square, has
proved life saver to thousands"

MOTIONS ExAMPLE.

Mr.. Paul Morton is prodding into the
affairs of the Equitable in a manner
tnat is rendering exceedingly uncomfor-
table the eminent financiers who have
heretofore been running the affairs of
that association. Among other things
Mr.. Morton has discovered that the as
ISOLATION carried large deposit with
the Mercantile Trust company on which
1t drew per cent interest. Yet at the
same time it borrowed $685., 900 from the
Mercantile, paying it 4 per cent. Mr..
Morton is insisting on knowing why this
was done and who got the per cent
o1nerence. It is suspected that there
was some crooked transactions covered
up in that way.
Mr.. Morton's activity is praiseworthy.
The public desires to know how the
business of high finance is transacted
and Mr.. Morton is doing a good work in
bringing these things to public notice.
Now if the federal officials will Just
emulate Mr.. Morton's example in fer
reting out the secrets Of the rebate bust
ness they too will be entitled to great
credit. For instance, there is that lit
tie matter concerning the alleged re-
bates Of the Santa Fe to the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company to the amount
of million dollars. And there is the
secret of Authority No. 5401,'' which
stands behind the Colorado Fuel rebate.
President Ripley says that Mr.. Morton
issued the authority for the rebate, and
the public would like to know if this is
correct.

William E. Curtis is responsible for
the following: At Solomon, Kan. a farm
of $50 acres is operated entirely by five
women-a mother and four grown
daughters-and boy of 10 years. Each
of the women has her own department.
The labor is distributed equally among
them. The mother looks after the
house, does the cooking for the family
without any help and takes care of
about 500 chickens and other poultry.
One of the daughters attends to the
dairy and milks Is cows. They have Is
horses for farming and driving pur-
poses, a small bunch of steers and a
hog pasture that brings them from $500
to $500 clear profit every year. Theirs

and wheat, but they are raising all of
the ordinary crops. The young women
do all of the field work-plow, SOW and

own drains, repair their own machinery

so disappointing to a baby as the 6is-

knows at once that he has fallen into
the keeping of one to whom his care is
novelty and most probably, delir-

wide-open eyes watches the mother spelx
advice in the books, or from her mother,
or from the neighbors, and he knows
there is in store for him a variety of
treatments to which the tenth or
eleventh baby in the family must re-
main a stranger. In sporting parlance
an amateur is one who follows any lire
of endeavor purely for the fun there is
in it, and professional is one who does
the same for what he can maize out of
