remarked that he recent saw Geers

casual observer the dean of trotting

Cleveland about thirty years ago. His

kindly smile, may have taken on

Before placing RExALL "o3" HAIR

that we had formula of exceptional

one customer who suffered from a
disease or the hair and scalp. To
each of these customers we sent
three bottles of the hair tonic and
asked them to try it and report
upon it.

Lord bless the American farmer
He is one of the nabobs OF creation

I'll the mines Of the country. He gives

Yet it must be admitted that this great
American farmer Seeds some enlight

While he Is the king of wealth produC

he is also phianthYOpist and doesn't

When Uncle Bob Miller came up the
Missouri river in 1886 on the steam
boat Tobacco Plant, from Columbia to

had two bundles of bed clothes his

one was a smaller bundle The steam.

that it was found covered by sand in

Individual VS.. Corporation.

\ wellknown eastern iinancior, fnr
some time the president Of large
trust company. recently resigned, Civ.
ing as his reason that man, accord
ing to his belief can do better work
for himself, and that no man can
really earn a salary equal to what he
can make in business for himself In
these days when all kinds of business
are being conycrged into corporations,
the number Of trades in which a man
may engage in business for himself
have become so few that for a great
bulk of men. even those having the
mental equipment which in other
years would have been sufficient to
make them their own masters, there
is now no other opening than that Of
service for some corporation. For
the bulk Of the people, outside of
those in agricultural pursuits, it Is
service for the corporation or no work
at all. This truth Is becoming more
evident day by day, Even the farmers
are feeling the grasp Of corporate
methods. It is true that millions must
have the products of his lands and his
hands, but the corporations are the
mediums he must work through, and
from him they exact their fittings. It
is to the interest of the farmer as
well as the labOrer in every walk and
sphere. to prevent as far as possible
further encroachment of organized
capital, and this can be done by rs
far as possible keeping the dollars
that you earn in circulation in the
community where earned, and thus
prevent the further concentration of
money and OF business in the great
cities.

Warsaw Mans Invention.

granting him a patent on his ,invg,<
tion OF rotary steam engine, which
he claims Will take the place or ali
other types OF steam engines. 1t has
no heavy reciprocating parts, as in
the steam engines of the present time
The piston rotates around the main
shaft, and is so constructed that it is
never on center. The force or ex-
pansion of steam is applied at the
same distance from the center at eacn
complete revolution, which is from
or less to 5000 or more per min
ute, as may be required. An engine
Of this rotary type. 90 inches in
height, occupying 1SX20 inches floor
space, will develop from 50 to 100
horsepower, according to speed, it Is

would be capable of running POO
miles per nOur and use- only two-thirds

Good Advice TO the Small Merchant
Who Would Succeed.

The mail order question is one that
is of perennial Importance to nearly
every one of the smaller cities and vii
lagos in the land although the danger
that these institutions were hound to
annihilate the smaller stores does not
seem as imminent now as it did a
few years ago. For instance, since
he passage of the pure food law by
congress many, If not all of the mail
order people, have discontinued the
selling Of groceries. 1t was plain in
this case that there was a consider
able amount of adulteration in the
goods sold or the mail order houses
would not have taken this step
There are aspects of the mail order
question which may well give hope to
the local dealer The facts in the
case are that the catalogue houses
are not enjoying an unmtigated cinch,
for they are handicapped in many
ways in which the country merchant
is not. For example the entire coun-
try press almost without exception is
closed to mail order advertising. Here
is a distinct advantage for the home
merchant although sometimes he is
somewhat slow in taking advantage
of it. If he is fossilized and walking
around to pay funeral expenses in a
business way, tiguratiyely speaking,
he will spring that ancient chestnut
that it doesn't pay" to advertise. But
let the newspaper man take an ad
from a mail order house and place it
in the rcmotcst corner OF his paper
and this same business man will be
apt to object very strongly.
The mail order houses have ad
yanced their business by advertising,
and have been badly handicapped by
having virtually only the magazines
and the catalogues to tell their story.
If the merchants Of to-day expect to
cope with the mail order houses and
hold q fair share of the trade that
they ought TO get, It means that they
will have to use printers ink and ad-
ycrtising space Furthermore, they
will have to advertise intcllgcntly
aud in accordance with twentieth cen.
tWry standards. Don't sprins the
ancient gag about having been in
business so many years. The people
don't care rap how long you have

alfalfa is great feed said DR.
II, +. Luckoy, state Veterinarian. "It
will not be long until the leaves and
stems will be ground into . meal and

bread will in a great measure take
the place of milk in a wcn-baIauced
diet. know a man will not think
fayorably of such food for himself
and family, but it can be made very
palatable. 1t may to some extent take
the place Of corn bread. If for any
reason a scarcity of bread stuffs
should occur in the United States and

Should be Abolished.

The tshOoters-fellows who sneak
up on a flock of quail and shoot the
whole flock and then sell them for
proft--Should be abolished one way
or another, says the Albany Ledger
The new law permits shipments OF
game and does not require the shoot.
er to procure license. However the
law is more severe than ever about
hunting on another's premises with.
out permission. A farmer who Is in
his right mind will not kill his quail
to sell. The town shooter who goes
out to slay the farmers quail to sell
should be regarded as an enemy to
his country and a nuisance to be abol-
ished. The farmer who good natured-
ly permits a friend to enjoy DAYS
sport with quail on his farm should
draw the line on the pot shooter and
invoke the law. In fact he is the sole
judge as to whether he allows anv-
body to kill his quail
