DIVERS DoN'Ts.

Don't expect the same amount OF
consideration in the business world
as in the home circle.
In business the object is to get as
much work as possible in a given
quantity of time. No one has time
for "frills."
Don't take your domestic troubles
into the business world. You are do
ing a mans work, and must take les.
sons from a man, to live two lives.
Don't be always criticising the per.
son who employs you or your fellow.
workmen. There is whole lot in
loyalty to the person who pays you,
even If you are doing your duty.

AMERICAN GRAIN WANTED.
Big Demand Promised by 0the,
Countries for the Crops Of
American Farmer.

The grain farmer of the United
States is particularly fortunate this
year In having q large crop, and also
q prospect of good demand from the
rest of the world. The natural demand
for wheat increases year by year, tho
grain becoming increasingly popular
at the expense of rye. etc., in certain
countries of Europe. The demand for
outside wheat in England will be about
the same as last year, according to Of
fetal estimates, and considerably
larger than for 1908. '
The various countries of continental
Europe are increasing their demands,
and the yearly consumption in France
Is now about eight bushels, in Belgium,
~ bushels, and in other countries of
Europe from a little over two bushels
to about six bushels per inhabitant.
The other exporting countries which
last year Offset the exports of this
country are likely to show shortage
this year. These countries are Rus
STA, Australia and Argentina. It Is
thought these, except Argentina, will
Rave a small crop for export this year.
The Argentina crop is not far enough
along for reliable estimate. Its prod
uct is an uncertain factor, varying
from year to year, but the high price
of wheat the world over will, no
doubt, stimulate quite a large acre.

a broad demand is being created in
China and adjacent countries for
American wheat and flour. In the
opinion of the American Cultivator, all
these sources of demand are likely to
take good care of the American rec
ord-breaking crop, including that of
Canada, and the behavior Of the grain
market indicates fair prices for the
producer.

how was to be got out of my tomb?

Birds On HITS Barred.

Governor Folk, of Missouri,
has signed the Walmsly fish and
game law, which became etfec-
tive on June 16, under the
provisions Of which women are
permitted to decorate their hats
with birds Of only few species.
By the enforcement of the law
many thousands Of dollars worth
of forbidden feathers and bird
bodies in wholesale and retail
stores in Kansas City, st. Joseph
and st. Louis will become con-
traband. Only the feathers OF
domestic birds, such as ostrich,
chickens and ducks, may be used,
while the wild birds allowed
milliners are confined to English
sparrows, hawks horned owls and
crows.
The law plainly prohibits a wo-
man from wearing into the state
a hat bearing a prohibited bird.
The hat may be the only one she
has, but unless she cares to face
a fine of from S25 up, she must
leave it outside the borders.
Women will have to consider
their toilets before they visit
Missouri, or find themselves
reckoned with the criminal class.

George F. ChapIine, represen-
tative in the legislature from
Monroe county, was tried in the
Pulaski county circuit court last
week on the charge Of conspiracy
and was convicted and given the
minimum punishment, a fine Of
S25. 1t was charged and proven
to the satisfaction of the jury in
the case that Chapline conspired
with M. D. l.. Cook of Argenta
to secure q bribe of $500 from
citizens of Monroe and Woodruff
counties who were interested in
the passage of the Cache river
levee bill. The money was raised
and placed in a Little Rock bank
to be paid to Cook when the bill
should become q law. The Of
fense is only a misdemeanor,
punishable by imprisonment in
the county Jail not to exceed one
year and a fine not TO exceed
$3.50. The fine imposed upon
Chapline is a small matter, What
he most cares for doubtless is the
disgrace attached to the affair,
and then the costs of the case,
amounting to Sl100, is no small
matter. The case goes to the
supreme court for that tribunals

dictment against Chapline char

The Arkansas supreme court
last Saturday handed down a de-
cision sustaining the noted anti
trust act, which has figured so
prominently in state politics the
past few years. The decision of
the court was majority opinion,
concurred in by Justices Hill,
Riddick and McCulloch. JUS
tees Battle and Wood dissented
from the majority. The actor.
of the supreme court is a stag
gering blow to the insurance
companies, which have fought
the act for the past eight years.
These companies did not expect
defeat at this time, it is said.
There is a feeling among the
commercial interests CT the state
that the law just declared valid
is a blow to business and will
work material harm to the state,
while the friends of the act de-
clare it is a measure that will
prove of much benefit to the
people. We have it now as the
law, and it remains to be seen
which contention is correct.
