HELPING ALONG THE TRUSTS.
Sending Money Away from Rural Dis.
tricts Assist in Making Them.

1t appears as IL the trusts are in the
country to stay. The legislative &C
ton of the government seems to
merely mean a little more regulation.
Trusts generally have their starting
point in Wall street. 1t Is to Wall
street that the money earned by them
goes. Each trust industry means so
much more for the Golfers of the null.

compelled to donate, toward their sup

Germs in Chicago have been backed
up by Wall street capital has Just be-

months Wall street ~flnanciers have
decided to build up even greater in
the mail-order business. and one con-
cern has had Its capital increased to
$40. 000. 900. 1t has been toward such
a monster enterprise the people of the
west have been turning their trade
the past several years. and by 30 do
ing have kept western communities

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS.
How Agricultural Towns Can Assist In
Preventing "corners" In Produce.

Now and then complaint is heard of
how tho large packing houses and
handlers of produce manipulate prices
Of eggs and poultry. These e
are enabled to do this through their
facilities for extensively handling
goods and preserving them IN their
mammoth cold storage plants. Their
system Is to buy in the lowest market
and hold the produce until the demand
Is such that prices reach the top notch.
1t is evident that were the business
men OF small towns to follow out to
some extent the plans of these large
houses. the home market would be ma.
terfally improved. In the agricultural
towns merchants are the most extern
sive handlers of farmers produce.
This business is incidental to the mer-
camille business. and few merchants
have proper facilities for the storing
therefore. Immediately upon receiving
supplies from the farmer, consign-
ments are made to the commission
houses in the large cities, and thus are
the large commission men enabled to
obtain control OF the markets and to
manipulate prices.
Each agricultural community pro-
duces enough poultry and eggs and
miscellaneous dairy products t o sup-
port a prosperous exclusive produce
house. But when the articles tina the
armer have for sale are distributed
among a dozen or more stores, each
acting Independently, 1t is evident that
highest market prices annot be paid.
n plan proposed for the organiza-
ton of cooperative produce companies
In each town has many desirable
points In its favor. At small expense
a coldstorage plant of adequate capac-
ity to handle all perishable products
of the community can be put in order.
A plant of this kind. if rightly man
aged, would greatly improve the con,
ditions of the local markets and higher
prices could be paid for produce than
the merchants could afford to pay for
the same.
A number of towns in the middle
west have adopted this system. and
with success. Not alone have the
home markets been greatly improved
but a greater volume of trade has
been brought to the merchants. Should
this plan be universally followed. in
agricultural districts, it would lesser
the opportunity for the manipulation
Of prices of produce. and the corner
ing of the market" by the large com
mission and packing houses.

THERE MUST BE MERIT.
Drawing the Line in the Matter Of
Patronage of Home Institutions

While it is the duty of every home
loving and patriotic citizen to encour.
G and support home enterprise, 1t
should be part of the principle that the
home enterprises should be such as to
merit support. The matter of service
and Of competition are important. 1t
must be a public spirited citizen, in
deed, who will willingly pay home mer-
chants exorbitant prices for what is
needed, when the same goods can be
purchased in some nearby town at
lower prices. The local bank should
be ~patronized, If well conducted, and
those in charge of it men of integrity
and enterprise. But ofttimes there
are illustrations of local industries be-
ing conducted in such u~nbusinesslike
ways as to not win the confidence Of
the people in the community. Under
such circumstances little censure can
be given those who will seek foreign
institution when they have money to
deposit.
While it may be true that the small
er towns and cities do not afford I'M
principled schemers the chance to con-
duct business. illustrations sufficient.
now and then, present themselves to
the people to make them cautious and
perhaps prejudice them against pat
ronizinS some home institutions.
Too often it is found that insurance
companies, investment concerns, banks
and mercantile establishments put
forth the plea of being home institu-
ions n thus should be p%atronized.
while In fact their methods of conduct
are such as to not win the confidence
of the people. Merit is an important
factor in the home trade matter, and
no argument can be made that will
justify the people of a community Civ
ing support to institutions that are u
sound, or which are managed in a way
as to impose upon the residents OF the
community.

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
NobIeman Had Never Tried.

The earl of Surrey. afterward elev-
enth duke Of Norfolk, who was a no
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and a leading member Of the Beef
steak club, was SO far from clearly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves of his Ats of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose Of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would a corpse
and performed the needful additions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror Of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he had become a per-
feet martyr to rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
Pray. my lord. did you ever try

Roof Gardens for Berlin.

1t is proposed to introduce roof
gardens in Berlin. A good many doc
tors and professors are doing all they
can in favor Of the scheme. and are
agitating for the gardens. particularly
in the city thoroughfares.
The idea would o be difficult to
carry out, the houses being mostly all
OF one height. and 1t is already pos.
sible In many parts to walk from n

The propagation Of ~gooseberries.
currants and other small berry
bushes is one of the simplest agri-
cultural propositions. You just cut
off sound limbs. cut them in pieces
six or eight inches long and put the
pieces in moist earth. but a better
way is to layer some Of the lower
branches. This may be done any time
during the summer, during the month
of July is a good time, then next
spring dig them up and CT into pieces
as required. Sometimes in layering 1t
is an advantage to break the branches
slightly, as this gives an opportunity
for the cambium to start out roots.
Sometimes the lower limbs have a
good many branches. If carefully
managed, each branch will make a set
ting. and you a cut them apart in
such a way as to leave plenty of roots
on each bush.

But DR.. Nehr recommended that all
invalids repairing to Marienbad should
take their beds with them, because
no accommodation whatever was then
provided in such sequestered spot.
Matters had not much improved in
1920, when Goethe visited Marienbad
and drank the waters, for he wrote to

corselet passing under the arms. Whom
that happens the guimpe also fits low
on the upper arm and becomes part of

lovely figure the effect is charming.

shrewd shopper realizes that straight
lines will mark the fall raiment and

The overturned lingerie frock.
especially with trimming running
around rather than up and down, cut.
ting the figure into a sort of human
checker board, has seen its best days.
In mulls, sheer batiste. soft lawns and
other clinging fabrics, with fine soft
laces, the effect of the cross trimming
Is not so bad. but nevertheless many
women have awakened to realiza-
ton that somehow the much-trimmed
lingerie dress has robbed them of
height and given them "dumpy"
look
There Is no doubt that house
dresses and evening frocks for early
fall wear will show vertical trimming
and distinct return to the long
lines. Particularly will this be true OF
