STICK TO ONE THING.

What would you think of a shoemaker
who after making a part of q shoe, at
last became dissatisfied and started an
other shoe on different plan at last
keeping up this method until he has
finally spent all his money for stock and
ha5 nothing but lot of unfinished shoes
to show for it. Foolish way to do, isn't
ii? BuG 1t is no more foolish than for
man to tackle a new line Of business
every little while until he grows too old
to learn any business thoroughly. Every
thing in nature is fitted to do one thing
well and spend lis whole life doing it.
You never hear Of the ant going into the
honey making business; nor bees build
ing ant hills for a change Each one
keeps its place in the world and sticks
to it, and that is what boys must do if
they would accomplish great things. And
remember always to keep your ambition
up to the top notch. Whatever you do.
try TO do it better than the other fellow.
At school make ii point to stand at the
head of your class; and at play don't be
satisfied until you can jump the farthest
or throw the straightest Then when
you enter business life, this matter of
getting ahead will become habit -Gov.

Assessment of taxes on the railroads
of Wisconsin for this year, as made by
the state tax commission, is shown 70 be
$666. 90 greater than under the old sys.
tenn, when the companies practically
assessed themselves, Aud this has been
accomplished under the 'populistic ad.
ministration" of Governor La Toilette,
who. as all the purchased press declared,
was dangerous TO the business interests
Of the state" All but the corporations
and the hired tools of corrupt politicians
rather admire that kind Of populism.
During tendency Of this constructive
and beneficial legislation there was fear
on part Of those not well informed. that
the new system might make 1t overbur-
densome TO many of the small and strug
Cling railroad lines In the state. AS an
example we cite the fact that the tax on
the little local Hillsboro road has been
divided by three.

WHEAT

A sharp break. such we anticipated in our
hst review, has been experienced in the
Wheat market. Declines have been sharp and
Of sufficient size to clear the situation Of
much Of its weight. The most powerful and
aggressive interests are now purchasing on
each material decline, and this in spite Of the
big crops The demand is wide and insistent.
The undertone in the market IS distinctly
strong and healthy.
The true character Of the market may be
Judged by the fact that while there is an
apparent diferen,2 in favor Of Canadian
Wheat for export into several European states,
liberal amounts Of high grade American Wheat
have been sold to those countries. This proves
while the public markets abroad may show
prices below an import level, they need our
fine Wheat so badly that private prices are
higher than the market.
Ii thus early in the season Europe IS willing
to pay a liberal premium for the best milling
grades, what will be the situation when the
present source OF supply, the Canadian fields,
has become exhausted?
We believe Wheat will advance materially
as soon as the situation IS little better
understood For long pull, we favor pnr-
Rhases of NAV Wheat.

GENERAL MILES ASKS
TO Be RELIEVED
Former Commander of the Army Tired
of His Office on staff of
Governor Douglas.

Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles. former
commanding general of the army, is
tired of his office as military adviser on
the staff of Governor Douglas, OF Mas
sachusetts, and he has written a letter
to Secretary of War Taft asking that he
be relieved of further duty. Secretary
Taft has not yet made answer TO the
request. but IL is understood that it will
be granted.
Immediately after Governor Douglas
election year ago, the governor Of
fered the position to the former COM
randing general of the army, who had
been retired as lieutenant general. and
there was considerable talk at that time
as 10 whether General Miles could ac-
cept a position with the State and draw
pay, while he was on the retired salary
list of the Government. Ii was finally
decided that the connection was legiti-
mate. as a number of retired brigadier
generals and major generals hold similar
positions with different States. Owing
10 General Miles rank, however the
protest arose principally because IL made
him the highest salaried American army
officer.
General Miles is expected to make his
report for the year to Governor Douglas
today.
