RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
TTimes-Jotlrnal.l

The Upper Mississippi River In
provement Association has held an
other annual convention and again
resolved that congress should make
an appropriation of S15,0O0,000 70
$40, 000,0 900, running thru a series
of years, for the purpose OF estab-
fishing reliable six foot channe!
from Minneapolis to st. Louis.
At the next session of congress the
association will have the cooperation
of those interested In the improve
nlent OF the Ohio and Missouri rivers
and In the construction OF canal
from Chicago to New Orleans The
Missouri river party is very much in
earnest and will insist on 4 show OF
earnestt1ess by It's representatives In
congress. Its latest argument is that
a reyetment of the banks of the
Missouri, besides combining the banks
and preserving the channel OF that
river, would improve the navigation
of the Mississippi south of st. Louis
which now receives immense guam
titles of mud from it's principal trib-
utary.
The crop moving season is again
on and again congestion of traffic at
railroad terminals is reported, but the
western rivers are idle. Once they
carried to market practically all the
crops produced west of the MISSISSIPPI
pi Now they carry practically none.

AN INCIDENT At CLeARFIElD.

The incident of the Cieartield bans
failure in which the stockholders
trusted the cashier SO implicitly that
they even allowed their dividends to
remain in the bank, thinking that they
were accommodating surplus, has been
brought to notice again by reason OF
grand jury Indictment of directo:
who failed to direct. 1t is of import
ance as showing what could have been
avoided under some system of insu.-
anee for bank deposits.
Mr.. Hughes, the director indicted,
was in. the banking business at Cory
don. He started the bank at Clearfield
anu placed his step-son in charge.
Having the confidence of his step-fa-
t.ier and the other stockholders trust
ing Mr.. Hughes to look after the bust
ness,tit was a comparatively easy mat
ter for dishonest step-son to get

KEEP IT IN MIND.


Here is a pertinent question that will
bear repetition many times and is wor-
thy Of continuous publication until the
young men OF the country learn the
value of money and the wisdom Of saw
ing 1t.
"Why is it, inquiries the Marshalltown
Times Re publican. that the foreman
at 500 per month wears store clothes
and owns home, while the stripping
at $35 per month must wear tailor
made suits and spend so cents day
at the cigar store?'
The Burlington Hawkeye contributes
something substantial on the same
subject by saying:
IF every young man would start A
Savings bank account the moment he
begins earning wages or drawing
salary, II. would be a helpful promoter
to practice reasonable economy in his
living. He need not be a miser, but he
ought to be saver. He need not be
stingy,, but he ought to be an econo-
mizer. In other words use good COM
mon sense and have an ambition to ac-
quire property That will be one step
toward good citizenship"
The way is we'll marked, but the
greatest difficulty is encountered in
the effort to induce those who would be
benefited, to travel the path that pro-
vides. The prodigal Is never in condi-
ton to save. He knows well enough
that 1T would be to his welfare to have
"a cash reserve, but somehow the desire
to accumulate never takes complete
possession of him. There is nothing
better young man can do for himself
than to place a reasonable portion of
his earnings where they will enable
him to be little better than self-sus-
tanning during the years of his accu-
mulatiye activity. He may never gath
er together large sum by this en-
deavor, but he will get the habit OF
helping himself and the ready cash on
hand may be the foundation on which
the future may erect something sub
stantial. The young man who never
permits his way of living to exceed his
income is the making of a pretty good
citizen, and his reputation and credit
in the business world will not suffer
from the knowledge that he is con-
stantly adding to his store of this
worlds goods, no matter how incon-
sequential the addition may seem at
the time it is made.

HABITS AS BUSINESS ASSET.

| NThe Wall Street Journal in dis
| cussing mems habits from the stand.
| point Of a business asset. declares tha'
the business world has right to know
mot only where the business man
| spends his days. but whe'.e he spends
his nights. 1t has a right not only II
know his financial standing. but also
his status in the scale of social decency
of his office and false to the standards
of domestic decency must have his
financial credit marked down and the
business confidence Of his fellow-men
lowered to the class of extrst-ha zardous
risks
The man of affairs who poses as an
upright and decent citizen by day and
goes the rounds by night, might be in
clined to take issue with, such a state
ment. He will question tile right to
inquire into his personal habits so long
as he does hi, duty In a business way,
Is uoISsI sWiLL itiS pallOhsS vi AAt' VII
ployer as the case may be, and does
not interfere with the rights of others.
The time has passed, however, when
such standard is considered suf-
ficient In the business world. 1t not
only demands honesty, faithful and re-
liable service, but 1t must be salts
fed that his personal habits are such
that his standing is not likely to be
suddenly impaired and the business in
iured.
Many a young man OF splendid abili-
ty has spoiled his chance OF promotion
because his employer has discovered
that he spends his nights in question:
able places, drinks and is careless OF
his company.
The men who represent bonding
companies are in position to realize
fully that good habits are d business
asset. Let man who Is tt. occupy a
position apply to bonding; company
to become his surety and he will quick
~ come face to face with the fact that
his habits are of considerable impor..
as well as his ability to I'LL the posi-
ton.
Lines are being more closely drawn
is this respect than ever before. Not
only the employer looks int the hab-
its of his employees, but the public
takes cognizarce OF the habits of the
employer. If he occupies position III
public trust the right to enquire into
his private life becomes more appar-
emit Public officials whose business
integrity has never been questioned,
but who are discovered gambling on
the board Of trade are properly objects
of suspicion. The banker whose bus
mess life seems such a success, but
who plays the races and spends his
money on wine and women is a subjec-.
for public criticism. He may be hon.
est with his clients today. but he is
on the way to failure and has only
himself to blame if patronage is with
held in consequence.

The political atmosphere in Hardin

time. In some localities state issues

mocklNG TIE FARMER.

Chicago papers recently contained
glowing accounts of farmers dance
given by wealthy club of that city.
The reports Of the affair Indicated that
there was a desperate attempt to be
funny at the expense of what the SPELL
binders in their wisdom term the
.shorny handed tllers Of the soil.' It
may be that these yotaries Of wealth
had what they thought was a good
time and the average farmer has the
good sense not 10 begrudge them an
opportunity to make merry over his
reputed shortcomings, tho 1t did him
an injustice. AT the same time most
people will be inclined to believe that
they might have been in better BUSH
ness and it will strike those who know
OF present conditions on the farms that
twas not only in bad taste but an ex-
hibition Of ignorance.
AT this particular function the rooms
were absurdly decorated with farmers
articles and the guests got themselves
up in burlesque farmers clothing.
There was a farmers treat" supper,
at which the table was covered with
papier mache vegetables and fruits,
with chickens, geese, pigs and cows
among them. Four men, made up IN
the style of the farmer as he Is known
to the readers of Puck and Judge, sang
songs designed to cast ridicule upon
the farmer and the farmers wife, and
there were other features supposed to
be funny which are said to have been
greatly appreciated.
The long whiskered stage farmer"
who said gosh ding" and ''by heck"
was always libel upon his class, but
IN these days OF mobile-owning
and educated farmers it is ridiculous
The fact is the average farmer nova
DAYS is not so much different from his
city brothers in appearance and man
ners, except that he is not inclined to
put all his wealth on his back and af-
feet a superiority over his less prosper
Gus neighbors.
The expression He looks like a
farmer" is often heard in city and
town uttered in terms of derision 1t
ought to be accepted nowadays at least
as a compliment. 1t is not such bad
thing to look like a farmer nor to be
one in these days of prosperity and
progress He has practically all the
advantages enjoyed by city brethren
for education and refinement and has
the luxuries as we'll. He lives in bet
tire atmosphere and gains a truer and
better perspective of things in general
and that is why when his boy comes
from the farm TO take part in the af-N
fairs of business Or state he Outstrips
his city bred brother Finally, the

that he rarely resents the cheap eff
forts to make fun at his expense and
extracts about as much pleasure from
them a his deluded mockar.

prosperity and business uncertainties
and instability. Republicans will do
well to weigh the question carefully
before they cast their ballot for any
candidate not republican. Personal
dislike should not overcome a mans

to endanger national or state inter-

OLD HUSBAND AND THE YOUNG
WIFE.
rTaIegrapt Herald I

lIeleSIdpli LAotoiu'J
Senator Thomas G. Platt's friends
feel sorry for him. At Is years of age,
the senator's wife of 35 years is suing
him for divorce. The story is the old
story. The senator's family opposed
his marriage to her two years ago, but
their opposition did not alter his pur-
pose. Now he wishes that it had.
1t is affirmed that the senator's wife
was intimate with an express wagon
driver of athletic frame, whom she
took into her employ first as coachman
and then as the senator's valet. Inc
senator was not blind to what was go
ing on about him, and his protests
proving to be without avail, he de-
termined to make his mental SUFFERING
his secret and endure his humiliation
alone. This he did, until the facts
reached the public and an action for
divorce was precipitated.

fled rotten or added eggs as coming
under the head of impure food pro-
ducts, and that any person who sells
such eggs, whether farmer or grocer,
is a violator of the law and subject -
