The annual ball of the Triangle and
Inner Circle Clubs at the First Regi-
| ment Armory last Thursday night
met with the same success that has al
! ways crowned the efforts of these two
famous organizations. The attendance
was all that the management could
desire and the hall presented a scene
of beauty and fashion. Never since

for such affairs was such wealth of
smart gowns and pretty faces gath
cred within it's four walls. Chicagos
several smart sets were thoroughly
represented, but everyone says that
the music was not up to the stand

is his brother and the other his cousin,
and it is a peculiar fact they are both
studying medicine. Clarence who re-

Chances for Success,

There are unquestionably as many
opportunities for success now, the
sane as there have been since the
creation of the world, but now, as
ever, they must be searched for.
Everyone encounters obstacles, but it
should be borne in mind that failures
are intended to serve as stepping
stones to success. Most successful
men have been broke" have met fall
ures, have been discouraged. and have
thought, as many others probably do
to-day, that life is not worth living"
yet their perseverance and determine
tion aroused their latent power ard
helped them to turn adverse condi-
tons to good account. Those who
struggle manfully and keep up their
courage will not die without having
achieved measure of success be-
fitting their intelligence and talents.

No doubt great many of us have
had our business experiences, and
what have we to show for it? 1t goes
without saying, observes the editor Of
the Sing Sing Star of Hope that we
were not of the thrifty, energetic, per-
Bevering and resolute kind, for our
presence here rather tends to the op-
posite view, indicating our weakness
for the vanities of life, which, assum-
Ing a possession over us and under
pinning our stronger and better quail
ties, led us into ways that are dark
and unwholesome-we are failures.
Yes. and what does failure such as
ours mean? Loss of name, loss Of
reputation. of character, and with this
a loss If not entirely, then to a marked
degree, in the estimation in which we
have been held by our immediate fam
lily. There is loss of friends, almost
q loss of hope, for life does, indeed, as

agement. They have MIXED us to tae

Government Purchases.

II is very hard to do business with
the United States government. Ell
forts are made from time to time TO
interest big manufacturing concerns IN
bidding on supplies, but as matter
of fact the business falls to few firms
who are able TO accept the conditions
which are required in the way OF
catering to the wants of this enormous
institution Men who do work for the
government must be content to wait
many months for their pay. They
must have everything technically
right. They are likely to have their
manufactured products thrown back
on them, rejected by some inspector
who may or may not know his busi-
ness. The least technicality in the
rendering of an account will cause
weeks of delay and require start from
the beginning. A business man whe
wishes to sell the government good
cannot sit down with an officer and
make u Qedl the SAME Us Ne Wouiu ~
selling to a private individual. He
must wait for advertisements and COM
petitive bids, and then his bid Is sub
ject to rejection for any cause what
ever. Purchasing officers Of the gov.
eminent are trying to remedy the ex-
listing conditions as much as possible
and some of them have cut out a great
deal of red tape with view to invit'
Ing more competition in the furnishing
of supplies. Still, it is hard to in
terest business men who have had any
thing to do with the government and
failed to enter into negotiations. Pos
sibly the so-called red tape is neces
sary part of the machinery to protect
the interests of the government, but il
also tends to increase the cost of com
modities which the government buy!
because of the lack of competition
that would ensue in case business mel
could contract with the government
the same as they do with other insti
tutions.

who seldom visits the market. 1t is
submitted under the title of Market
Glasses and Grades of Swine" by WI
liam Dietrich, and is on lines similar
to the well known classification Of
cattle by Professor Mumford.
In discussing bacon hogs Mr.. Diet
rich says that the representative Eng
llsh bacon hog belongs primarily to
Great Britain. Denmark and Canada.
In recent years this hog has been in
trOduced into the United States and is
rapidly establishing for itself market
class. Many hogs are sold on the Chi
cago and other markets Of the United
States for bacon purposes but the
greater part of them are not Of the
ideal bacon type.
This hog must be long in body, deep
in side. with comparatively narrow
back narrow and light hams and
shoulders and light, muscular neck.
In the countries where hogs Of this
class were i'm the past principally pro
duced corn is grown in very limited
quantities. and the principal feed for
hogs Is barley, oats, peas, rye, rOots'
wheat and its products.
The bacon hog of the United States
type differs considerably from the
English bacon hog There is, however,
a growing tendency toward the typical
bacon type The indications point to
the fact that we are at the parting Of
the way and that in the future we
win have place for the ideal bacon
hog as well as for the fat or lard hog.
Corn is at present being used for 9th
er purposes, such as the manufacture
of cornstarch whisky and oil. At the
same time q ration of all corn, which
usually forms the principal part OF the
feed Of the fat or lard hog, is coming to
be generally recognized as detrimental
to the hest development Of swine from
the breeders standpoint. Coupled with
