Surplus of Fruit Jars.

Surplus of Fruit Jars.
On the ground near the Ball Broth
ers' fruit jar factory in Coffeyville
are three piles of fruit jars These
piles are the overflow stock which
has been turned out at the factory in
excess Of what the warehouses could
hold. These piles of jars are not by
any means small ones either. One
of them is 20x4O feet. Another COX
100 feet and the third 90x120- The
piles are all of the same height. each
being about six feet from the ground
to the top jar That means that there
is a pile of jars covering a space or
$4,000 square feet and six feet in
height. In these piles there are over
10000 gross or more than 100000
5iars. This is only about one-fourth CT
the total number of fruit jars made
by the company SO far this season and
the factory has yet over three months
to run before the season closes. With
more than S,5o0,000 fruit jars made at
this one factory it would at first seem
that there would be an overstock oh
jars on the market. But then there
are only eleven fruit jar factories in
the United States and it keeps them
running rather steadily to supply the
demands of the millions of women In
the United States who put up fruit
every year.

talk and work the country up, then
allow the city, including its mail or
der Octopus, to work its own prob
lens awhile This, instead of being
selfishness, would be the finest order
of common sense. A more marked
feeling of brotherhood interest is
sadly needed in the country on this
particular point.
The rural population complain of
lack of facilities and conveniences; in
order to obviate this, let $500, 0O0, 900
this coming year be disbursed among
country merchants, among the hum
bier storekeepers, then observe what
will follow. The improvements would
be marked. Social conditions would
be greatly ameliorated. new order
would maintain in the home and over
the broad acres of the farm and best
of all, the social spirit of brotherhood
would be felt as never before.
Listen to these thoughtful words
from Gov. Folk, of Missouri: I'VE
are proud of our splendid cities, and
we want to increase in wealth and
population, and we also want our
country towns to grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but also
desire the country merchants to pros

order citizen. If a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, it is good enough
for man to SPEND HIS MONEY
in. Patronize your own town papers,
build them up, and they will build
your town up in increased trade and
greater opportunities
These are the words of wisdom and
foresight from a prudent, patriotic
man. As 1t is to-day, these words are
expressive of the opposite of what
should be in many a country district
The mail order citizen may think he
is gaining; the truth is he is saving
off the lin upon which he sits. Dis
aster only can follow. The mail or
der citizen makes his money locally
and scatters it abroad in a field where
it is not needed; this is unfair to both
the town and to it's merchants. This
shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper,
at the same time he pursues policy
which tends to destroy both. Then,
publishers ought to be careful how
they exploit and give publicity to the
mail order houses; even if they are
paid well for the space, 1t reacts dis
astrously on the towns best pros

Let men stand by the local mer-
chant, let them protect his interests,
for they thus further their own. The
town that made the man should be
made by the man. This is fair to all
Let men ponder well this truth, that
we are all interdependent; that the
vein of brotherhood underlies the en-
tire social and commercial fabric.
That together we stand or fall; that
the good of the country demands 10y

Experience Of a Kansas Man In an
Omaha Hospital.
The sight Of a man In the agony Of
death transformed Daniel w. McIll.
yane OF Pawnee county, Kan, from a
hopeless chronic invalid, unable TO
stand alone, into man apparently In
the bloom of perfect health, able to
jump out of bed, dress himself and
walk mile or more without fatigue,
writes an Omaha (Eeb.) correspondent
Of the Kansas City Star.
McIllvane's cure was effected at the
county hospital in Omaha the other
morning. The man had become what
the hospital authorities call a hospital
hend. For years he has spent a great
part of his time IN hospitals, receiving
treatment for stomach and other all
nsents. He recently left the Presby-
terrain hospital only 10 apply immedi-

"As to the restaurant fight, 1t was

the affair has been greatly magnifed.

An Epitaph.

A worthy dentist rests beneath
This high-heaped grassy mound;
True man was he, although his teeth
Full often false were found.
All obstacles he did despise,
And often would he brag
He rather liked than otherwise
To run against a snag.
Much suffering did he assuage,
HIS patients lost each pang,
Though erst the throbbng tooth might
rage
AS they the door-bell rang.
His speech was FREQ uent and most free,
Right seldom would he pause,
Although a master hand was he
At holding others Jaws.
He owned no family or clan,
But gave all satisfaction.
And all agreed be was man
or excellent extraction.
He died without sob or groan,
lie lived in decent gravity,
And now beneath this cold tombstone
He's filling his last cavity.
