HOGS-The market started out strong to
DC higher and the early trade was fairly
active at the advance noted; in fact the
market opened earlier than usual and the
in a short time The early sales were
largely at S62Oq6.25, which also bought
the bulk saturday but the top today was
to,SO, which was sc higher, than anything
brought at the close of last week. Later
on the market lost its life and strength
and sellers found It impossible to secure
the strength OF the morning on the last
trains that arrived,

CATTLE-There was a fair run OF cattle
though by no means large. Some OF the
trains were late in arriving, so that there
was no great number on sale at any one
time.
There was quite a difference OF opinlop
among sellers as to the condition OF tie
market. Some sellers VINO did not appear
to have Just what sellers wanted thought
that they did not get out as well as they
did at the close OF last week on the other
hand some sellers actually quoted their
sales as stronger on tile good kinds. With
only moderate receipts the, most Of the
cattle sold In fair season
Buyers acted as II they had soured on the
common and medium kinds of cows and
heifers They all seemed to be looking for
the good kinds. The result was that while
the market was fully steady and in some
cases even strong on the best kinds II was
slow and weak on all other grades.
Feeders command very satisfactory prices
provided they had quality. the market be-
ing fully steady at least.

Governments True Functions.

The true and only function of gov
eminent Is to see to it that the citizens
are protected in their rights and in the
free enjoyment of their means of live
lihood from foreign invasion, from the
attacks of criminals and from indi-
viduals or organizations that would
take advantage of the power derived
from wealth or privileges to Cypress
their fellows and extort from them ex-
cessive compensation for services. This
involves the right of reasonable regu-
lation of public utilities, but 1t does
not warrant any city or state in I'M
dertaking work that can be performed
by private enterprise. The moment
government, either monarchical or
republican, oversteps this limit 1t
starts upon road that has no turning
and that logically ends In absolute pa
ternalism or in state socialism.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-08-30
Unfair Comparisons.

One CT the commonest arguments ad-
vanced by those favoring municipal
ownership as proof Of the excellent
working of that system is to compare
the cost of lighting under municipal
ownership with the contract price paid
private companies at the time when the
plant was taken over.
They are specially prone to do this in
cases where the municipal plant was
started at an early period, when cleo
trio lighting was in its infancy and
when the cost was necessarily very
much higher than it Is now.
They entirely ignore the fact that
there has been steady fall in price Of
lights furnished by private companies
since that period and that If they had
had no municipal plant they would
probably be getting lights at a lower
cost today than the municipal plant is
capable Of securing.

Hats In OIden DAYS.

The felt hat is as old as Homer. The
Greeks made them in skullcaps, con-
ical, truncated, narrow or broad brim-
med. The Phrygian bonnet was an Ell
evated cap without a brim, the apex
turned over in front. It Is known as
the cap of liberty. An ancient figure
Of Liberty in the times Of Antonius
Livius, A. d. 115, holds the cap in the
right hand. The Persians wore soft
caps. Plumed hats were the head
dress of the Syrian corps of Xerxes.
The broad brim was worn By the
Macedonian kings. Castor means a
beaver The Armenian captive wore
plug hat. The merchants of the four
tenth century wore Flanders beaver.
Charles VII. in 14G0 wore a felt hat
lined with red and plumed. The Eng
fish men and women in 1910 wore close
wooden or knitted caps. Two centuries
sgo hats We're worn in the house.
Pepys in his diary wrote. September,
1904, got severe cold because he took
)ff his hat a. dinner" and again In
January, 1865, he got another cold by
sitting too long with his head bare to
'ilow his wife's maid to comb his hair
and wash his ears, and Lord Claren-
Ion In his essay, speaking of the decay
Of respect due the aged, says that in
ais younger days he never kept his hat
On before those older than himself ex-
:ept at dinner.

THE NEEDED SPANKING.
Hughes Administered II In His Two
Cent Fare Veto.

Cent Fare Veto.
1t seems not improbable that Gov
ernor Hughes veto Of the two cent
rate bill may mark the beginning OF
the end Of what may be fairly termed
predatory legislation. The judicial
words of the governor are in marked
contrast to the attitude of those legis-
lators and city politicians who, with
demagogic short sightedness, have as
sumed that the best way to win votes
is to badger corporations.
The recklessness of these men has
brought the country to the verge Of q
business depression that is the natural
result of the sudden check to Industrial
development for men with brains
enough to make money are not likely
to risk it in new enterprises or extern
sions of old ones when all prospect OF
profit may be cut away by an act Of a
state legislature or city council.
1t IS great fun for the baby to poke
sticks into the works of watch, and
the infantile intelligence of certain
statesmen" probably derives equal de-
light from their attempts to regulate"
industries of whose workings they
know no more than the baby does
about the watch. Governor Hughes
has administered the needed spanking.

The Cause of Wry Tails.

The cause of wry tails is obscure, but
is attributed to an injury to the hip or
some part of the rear of the body,
which causes deformity. Examine
wry tailed chicken after dressing it
and you will usually find, we think,
that it is deformity of some part of
the body, usually of the hip, that
causes it. 1t has been argued that
such deformities are caused by over
crowding in the brooder or being
crowded into a cramped position for
several hours when the bones are soft
and plastic. This, however, is theory

Market Preference as to Poultry

Practically all the large markets in
the United States require yellow skin
Tor flesh and legs in first grade market
poultry. English and Canadian mar
kets call for white skin Tor flesh) and
legs for their better grades. Boston
and New York markets require dry
picked poultry and will only take the
scalded product at q discount. San
Francisco and Philadelphia insist upon
dry picked poultry and do not want
scalded. st. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore
and Washington prefer scalded poultry
except for storage purposes. Dry
picked poultry only Is accepted for
cold storage.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1907-08-30
Fighting Vermin.

1t is waste of time to fight vermin
so long as the droppings are allowed to
remain in the houses week after week.
Clean up each morning. 1t takes but a
minute or two each day, and with the
occasional assistance of kerosene lice
seldom cause any trouble.
Remove the nest boxes and fixtures
from the houses and fairly saturate
them with kerosene, then go inside
and with spray pump send the kero-
sene into every crack and crevice IT
does noble work, and your hens will
bless you for 1t.
Another good precaution Is to use in
sect powder literally in the nest boxes.
1t will kill such vermin as are lodged
in the feathers of the hens.
If the young chicks are dropping, ex-
anime their heads, and the chances are
that large gray louise will be found.
A drop of sweet oil will soon settle the
matter

organization Of municipal employee,
will undermine unionism than that tn,
unions will be able to keep the city
employees out of politics. The fac
that municipal departments must b,
open shops supports Mr.. Sulllvan's con
tention and should be given more con
sideration by union men than they hav,
hitherto accorded it.
The Matter of WAGES.
These two investigators agree TIA
in Great Britain the wages in munici
pal plants are not higher than else
where except in the casa OF uaskillet
labor and in the tramways In this
connection 1t is worth while TO recall
the words of James Dalrymple man
ager Of the municipal tramwayS OF
Glasgow:
I'm Glasgow when we took over tho
tramways we paid q better wage, but
we did not pay that wage to the same
men. 1t was paid to other men. w,
got superior men,"
In general Professor Commons finds
common labor better paid by cities in
America than by companies. but Mr.
Sullivan points out that in many cases
at least the man is expected to earn
this extra wage by voting and working
for his political boss and that his
tenure of Office depends on this rather
than on his efficiency and adds:
"In America the municipal enter
nricnS xyicffa6 In lnnr Inv foof nt.c
have been rich mines for significant
facts relating to politics rather than to
labor"
America Behind Europe7
One section of Professor Commons
report is very misleading. He says:
Neither municipal ownership nor
private ownership has accomplished
the good results in the United States
that should be expected of it, and both
are far behind what both have accom-
plished in Great Britain. " = We are
in precisely the same position that Brit
ish municipalities occupied forty years
ago in the gas business and fifteen
to thirty years ago In the street car
and electricity business"
The utter absurdity of this statement
is shown by the fact that in 1904, the
last year for which statistics are avail
able, there were in the United States
30,1S7 miles of street railways against
2,117 in the United Kingdom, although
the population of the latter country
was then more than half that of the
United States. 1t Is a well recognized
fact that in the application of electric
ity to lighting and power the United
States not only leads the world, but
nearly equals all the rest Of the world
