Capt. Moses Bartlett, her command

ostensibly upon a hunting trip and un.
til their arrival at Etah he had not
announced his intention of trying for
the pole TO anyone. He took only one
man from the Bradley Rudolph Frank
eron, cook. His plan is to stay in
Etah until December or until the ice
pack, becomes well hardened, then
dash along the pack. When open
water is met he will cross it in two
canvas boats. Capt Bartlett says
that had Peary had these boats he
would have succeeded in his attempt.
DR.. Cook will take only a few Es-
kimos and dogs and will relay them in
stations all the way. He will take
substantially the same route as Peary.
1t was found that the Eskimos had
rifed Peary's food caches and even
overturned his boats. Mr.. Bradley
left DR.. Cook supply for IS months.
DR.. Cook from Etah has about 1000
miles to cover. He must return by
the same route-across Smith sound
overland 81 degrees, then over the
ice pack and sea.
The attempt will not be costly

Bradley's trip and the expenses Of
the Eskimos and dogs will not be ex'

SCIENCE OF TOWN KILLING.
unwlse Booming and Maintaining Elk
orbitant Prices an Effective Way.

There Is county seat town in one
OF the central western states that has
population of about 5000 It is sur,
rounded by one of the richest farming
countries. For years this town has
been at standstill. If anything it
is retrograding, and even farm values
near 1t are lowering, while poorer land
some 20 miles away is advancing.
Why should such condition exist?
The answer is plain A dozen years
ago there was a boom. With the boom
real estate went to the top notch
Keeping pace with the boom the
prices Of products in that town went
up. There was a collapse in real es-
tate values, but the merchants re-
NAMED. and kept up the high-price
habit, That is they wanted more than
an equitable share of profit Another
town was started 20 miles away. Some
Of the farmers went there. 1t was
found that the merchants were selling
goods at lower price The stock
buyer and the grainbuyer paid few
cents a hundred more for their pur.
chases. The habit of trading at the
new town grew. The business men of
the old towr. couldn't learn y lesson.
Before they knew it their customers
were leaving them. So it has been
since then. The merchants have been
plodding along. The money that
should be retained in the town went
elsewhere. Much of it went to build
up the competing town.
Mistakes like this one are made
frequently. Towns become dead
places instead of live ones. In fact
some towns are so dead that the farm.
ers who withdrew tNeir trade from
them are suffering in decreased farm
values. They take no interest in
these places, other than to visit them
now and then. Unhealthy booms, I'M

and which are foolishly maintained.
are quite certain to kill town even
though 1t may be county seat and
have some advantages nearby towns
may not have.

completed. 1t will be designed after
the copy of the famous Turnbull sun
dial at Corpus Christi college, Oxford,
and will be finished in about two
weeks, but will not be unveiled until
early in November.
Sir William Mather, M. p, the don

a square base. This column is sur
mounted by a square stone, on the
four sides of which are carved the ar

Oxford, King Henry VII, the founder
of the college, and Hugh Adam who
is closely associated with the begin

INVENTION OF FISHERMAN MAY
REVoLUTloNIZE INDUSTRY.
Old Salt at Gloucester Has a Device
Called "the Jieser" Which May
Mean Great Saving to the
New Englanders.

Gloucester, Mass.-Capt Angus
Hines, weather-beaten fisherman,
has invented new method of captur.
Ing cod without bait that promises to
reyolutionize the fishing industry of
New England. All along the coast,
from Maine to Cape Cod, the baitless
method of taking cod has become a
topic Of interest.
For nearly score of years the cost
of sailed clans, squid and cells and
other cod bait has been an important
factor in reducing the profits of New
England fishermen.
Captains of fishing schooners that
sail from Boston, Cape Ann and Cape
Cod have been obliged to fill their
vessels holds with bait in barrels be-
fore proceeding to the fishing grounds.
The sailed clans have to be shipped
from Maine for this purpose. Often
days are spent on the fishing grounds
in capturing squid for bait.

This new device for taking fish has
been named the jigger" 1t consists
of a nodded flshshaped piece Of
shiny lead, about eight inches long
from the head of which projects a
pair of big hooks.
When Capt Hines arrived on the
fishing grounds at Sable island last
May he discovered that the schools
Of fish were slow to take the clam
bait. Instead, the cod seemed to be
pursuing the herring which infested
the waters.
Confronted with this problem, the
captain set to work to solve it. 1t was
impossible to obtain herring enough
for bait, and the thought struck him
that device made to deceive the cod
would solve his troubles.
With a piece of lead the captain
fashioned little fish over the upper
ends of two large cod hooks and

WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL.
Operation Of Injurious Trusts Can Be
Curtailed by Efforts Of the
Misses.

An evil that at present ia receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press is the concentration OF vast
amounts OF money in the hands OF
corporations. The accumulation Of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law, will inevitably becomS
divided. The millionaire who has
family at his death will apportion to
each member n share OF his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children, they
I'm return will divide the accumula-
tons among their offspring and even
tually, Il matters not how great the
fortunes of any one OF the family
may become, it is only n matter OF
time until there Is a scattering of the
money, and a great portion of It will
pass from the members of the family.
On the other hand. corporation meth
DDS mean the building of n system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora.
tons are machines that work con
tinuously, and when one part is brok-
en- II is replaced by new one. Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuance of the Standard Oil
company; the death Of the present
stockholders OF any of the large trust
companies, banks or insurance com
panies will make little difference In
their existence All will go ahead.
The safeguards Of corporations in
many cases are excellent But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
tiuon and the controlling of prices.

classes are compelled to pay prices

AGAINST PREMIUM GRAFT.
Laws Passed by Some States Prohibit
ing Prizes In Packages of Foodstuffs.

Some classes of people when they
wish to purchase goods, look more aft
er so-called bargains than quality, and
quite often the bargains prove expen-
sive 1t seems that the getting of
something for nothing is attractive to
the average person. OF late years
there has grown up practice among
manufacturers of staple articles, par
ticularly In the food line, of giving a
Prize with each package of their goods.
1t is apparent that there Is an inclina.
ton towards gambling in the make
up OF most people, and this spirit Is
appealed to largely by the giver of
prizes. The purchaser seems to over
look the fact that he receives nothing
other than he pays for. Whatever ar.
ticle is given as premium represents
SO much money value and certainly
the manufacturer does not lose by
the operation. The value of what is
given must be made up by either the
retailer or the consumer, and 1t is gen.
orally the consumer who pays the
cost
Retail grocers, az well as the peo-
pie in general, have cause to be thank
full to the lawmakers of some states
for making it illegal TO place premiums
in packages Of foodstuffs. Such a law
is now in force in the state of Nebras-

Consumptive Receivers by Keeping

Boonville, Ind.-That the best relief
and cure for the white plague are in
fresh air, nutritious food and hygienic
measures is shown by cure in Rock
port. Mrs. w. A. Fee, of that city,
had tuberculosis several years, and
year ago could hardly get around her
home.
Secretary Hurry, Of the board of
health of Indiana, sent out set of
rules which were intended to be
placed in the hands of the afflicted,
and contained the latest methods as
to how to combat the malady. Among
the most important of these rules is
the injunction to have as much fresh
air as possible when sleeping, advo-
eating sleeping out of doors in tent,
or other structure where the patient
would get nothing but fresh air.
A large tent was placed in her yard
near the house. A floor was placed in
it and stove arranged so that it
could be heated, but at the same time
there was opportunity for plenty Of
fresh air to get into the tent around
the walls. Her husband assisted her
to keep open air home, for she was
not able to walk that short distance
at that time. They slept in the tent
all through last winter, and are still
sleeping there.
