STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

Interest in the stock market yesterday CEN
tired principally the trading in Southern Pa
cifc and Union Pacific, the market In this re-
spect supplying a repetition OF the operations Of
several preceding days Differences were OBJ
servable In an increase OF activity, sales of the
two market fsvorites totalling more than $4,000
shares. and a decrease Of activity. both Union
and Southern declining under very heavy realIz-
ing sales. Each stock was strongest at the
opening, in consequence OF heavy purchases for
London account, purchases that largely
due, 1t was believed. TO covering OF shorts by
foreigners and to protective purchases the
part Of London dealers in privileges who had
sold calls on the Hartman stocks under much
the same circumstances though not TO great
an extent, was the prior 10 the declara-
ton OF the Union and Southern Pacific divi-
dends a year ago. The foreigners received
stock at the highest prices OF the day, Union
Pacific selling at las at the opening and
Southern Pacific at 91A Thereafter the market
for both receded under very heavy offerings of
stock. professional traders certainly and some
OF the inside interests probably considering the
time opportune for profit taking and dtstribu-
ton Neither stock however. sustained more
than a fractional net loss and Il a matter
of wide comment after the close that the market
had stood up so strongly under such heavy sell
ing pressure
News developments OF the day also had 10
do almost entirely with the Hartman stocks.
At the opening Of the market It was reported
by the news agencies that the directors OF
Southern Pacific had practically agreed to in
crease the dividend rate from to per cent,
and though formal notice of the action OF the
board given out after the meeting Of the
directors. remarks Of Mr. Hartman were con-
strued by the financial community corrob-
Grating the predictions that had been made.
Generally, therefore. the Street looked on the
dividend question closed.
Both Brooklyn Rapid Transit and INTERIOR
ough- metropolitan preferred were strong de-
spite the announcement that the first step IN
the investigation into the affairs OF these trac-
lions would be inquiry into their financial
organization. Transactions in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit were a large scale, and some Of the
inside interests were said TO favor the declara-
ton OF an initial dividend. The Erie shares and
New York Central were subject 10 professional
selling pressure on the theory, presumably, that
the leading interests in these stocks have dis
played no evidences Of sympathy in the bull
movement and that raid on them, therefore,
would encounter little opposition. Some selling
Of the Steel shares seemed 10 be based on the
same supposition. Call money rates continued
easy and there change in time money.
The Bank OF England report, showing an in
crease of more than S1.5OOOO0 in reserve, dis
played the money situation abroad in more
favora BILE light.

COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
1t Is Not Always Matter of Saving to
Buy Cheap Goods.

Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons as to buying
of goods.
Not long ago in a western town a
citizen desired to buy kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by
the way had his attention attr acted
by the advertising in his farm paper
of "a bargain" in a kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing twice the money at the
local store" The citizen sent a
money order to the concern advertis-
ing the range, and in the course Of a
few weeks he was notified by the rail-
road agent that the range had ar
rived. In removing 1t from the sta
ton to the farm house, in some mex
plainable way part of it was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
ASSoA AdA oLO1C DuG US
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and in the course
of few weeks a duplicate of the
broken part was received, but it was
discovered that it. would not fit the
stove. It had to be returned and a
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become so warped that it interfered
seriously with the drafts. At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser of the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third more
than the poor range cost, and after a
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought.
This is one illustration of how econ
omy wrongfully practiced is ex-
pensive. 1t is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither is it
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex-
anime them and determine their
value.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two Vital Things for the Welfare Of
the Masses.

There is wisdom in the old slogan,
A school on every hill top and
church in every valley" Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
OF the great educational system which
makes it possible for all classes to &C.
quire the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud of the re-
l1gious liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There Is no estab-
llshed church to interfere with the
free exercise of conscience, neither is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise of religious belief.
The United States can be looked
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. Of course there are com.
munities where local conditions are
not so favorable for schools as other
places. It will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town, the more advanced are the edu-
cational facilities offered the people.
The residents of rural communitia s
nave their state or district school, the
curriculums of which are restricted.
1t is to the nearby town that the chill.
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is necessary prep.
aration for entry into college, and for
business life. How important it is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business i'm.
portance to justify the maintenance Of
high class school! It can be seen
how each resident of a farming COM
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains t. it's
upbuilding. If on no other account,
purely Oh account of the educational
facilities.
Running parallel in importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit. Both
schools and churches have education
al qualities that should not be lightly
valued. They mean the highest men,
tai and moral development, and upon
this development depends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
perpetuation of the nation.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers of the United States.

One Of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated Of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. If during
wear each of those farmers can be
saved $40 il time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means Of
improved roads, it means saving OF
$50 1000, 900 annually; but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation of the good roads
movement saves each farmer in the
land from $50 to 800. Thus it can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate nun"
dreds of millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact mas De-
come so recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates of road Improvement, and
there is a civic pride and friendly COM
petition in the matter OF having good
roads leading to the towns. The work
of road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number of state legislatures
have taken up the work and during
fhe next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the building and
maintenance OF public highways.

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-WouId
Cry Until Tired out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. l had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
I thought would give them trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before l had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and il worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,

WHAT'S THE USE?
70 Pour in Coffee When 1t Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at time but no one can go

awake for two or three hours during
the night but now sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig

do you know why? It's because l
used to drink coffee but finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then I have drank coffee and
both times / passed sleepless night,
and so l am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
'My brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stsm-
ach.'
Even after this 1ady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands
of cases just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works Won

Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow.
Minded New Yorker.

Oklahoma amazes an fastener. The
wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass
fronts of department stores, the clean
sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried
shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan
air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex-
ample, seem marvels to find in a ter
ritory only II years old. But do not
say so.
A New Yorker who went there on
business complained that fate was
thrusting him into wilderness, and
his Oklahoma associates could not re-
assure him. But coming down to
breakfast the first morning, at his
hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared
around in wonder as he entered the
dining-room.

Rule of Cornish Channels.

In Cornish (Eng.) chapels the in

on one side of the building and the
women on the other.
A visitor and his fiancee, who are

and just before the service began the
young man was greatly astonished

that the couple were seated in the
