goods or yourself on certain date, at
a certain place, at an agreed hour.

The longer we live, the more we
learn. and the more we learn, the less
we think we know. Such is the in
consistency of mans ideas. The less
one knows the greater his opinion of
his abilities and wisdom. In the
morning of life a conceited man
prides himself on his greatness. and
wonders to what grand channel he
will confne his talents. He looks
upon his school district as the world
at large, and himself as the great
genius in whose keeping the worlds
nature rests. He imagines when he
speaks, nations tremble, mountains
totter and the sea becomes silent
He imagines that gaping and won
dering pOpulace are gazing on him
with open-mouthed wonder and iron
clad astonishment, and that he holds
the world in the hollow of his hands
with a grasp that is perpetual.
But as days, and months, and years
pass in rapid succession, the young
man finds out that he is possibly mis-
taken and if he would wander away
and get lost some one or more of all
the people on the earth would not
miss him. BY and by he begins to
realize that he is only one of the
many millions of people, and instead
of standing forth as the center of at
traction, he only fills a small niche of
some obscure corner, and really at
tracts but little attention. The ig-
norant man vino realizes his gnor-
ance and who does not seek to pass
himself off for more then hessis worth,
is pardonable. but the self-conceited
man who tries to pass himself off at a
premium, is to be pitied. The best
way is to hold ones self-esteem down
and not rate himself too high. The
man who climbs the highest has the
farthest to fall
1t is more pleasant to be invited to
take a higher seat than to be deprived
of it. 1t is more pleasant to be king
of cottage than the servant of a
palace. 1t is better to be a good five
cent piece than a bogus quarter; in
other words, it is better to hold our,
selves at what we are honestly worth,
| The world is full of people who never
learn anything because they think
they know enough to begin with.
Thousands are teaching when they
ought to be taught; thousands believe
themselves wise when their ignorance
is lamentable; thousands believe
themselves clothed in gold when they
are only thinly plated and the copper
shows through in many places. The
wisest are comparatively ignorant
and thousands of men who have grand
ideas Of their own abilities will some
day wake up to the realization that
they have been laboring under large
sized delusion. Many young mans
life is gilded by bright dreams that
come in the early stage of the game
but later on he finds that these dreams
are only empty, and O, how little is
the change when it comes.

HOW A PUBLISHER GOT EVEN

A newspaper publisher has recently
brought suit against forty-fye men
who would uot pay their subscription,
obtaining judgment in each claim. OF
these, twenty-eight made affidavit
that they owned no more than the
law allowed, thus preventing attach
ment. Then under the decision of
the Supreme Court they were arrested
for petit larceny and bound over in
the sum of $500 each. All but six
gave bond while six went to jail. The
new postal law makes it larceny to
take apaper and refuse to pay for it.

Thus far this season, Fred III. Nor
ton has had three of his dogs poisoned.
The practice OF laying out poison for
dogs or cats is very dangerous and
vicious one and those who practice it
may be sorry should they be found
out. Would it not be far more honor
able to shoot the animals outright IL
indeed they proved to be public nui-
sance than to dispose Of them by so in
human a manner as poisoning them.
Mr. Norton is lover Of his dogs and
he therefore feels very bitter toward
those persons who are guilty OF pois-
oning bis pet animals.

HOW LONG TO COOK
DIFFERENT FOODS

Experiments on different foods to
determine the length of time they
must De cooked on the stove and in
Inc cooker showed that oatmeal and
wheat cereals need but five minutes
OF The stove, while corn cereals need
ten' before being put in the cooker for
the night. Corned beef and pot roast
OF beef should be in the oven a half
hour, and in theFhay box ten hours.
Ii the meat is tough, it may need re-
heating on the stove and four to six
hours more in the box. The size and
toughness of pieces control largely the
length of time for roast beef. legs of
lamb and mutton, and chickens. but
as a rule they need half hour on the
stove and from four to six hours in
the box. Fowl takes 4 full hour in
the stove, and eight in the box, with
possible relocating. Baked beans
should be in the oven half an hour.
and in the box from eight to dozen
hours, with final browning in the
oven. Prunes, after five minutes on
the stove, should be in the box from
eight to twelve hours, and as there is
no loss by evaporation, less water
should be used. All salt and flavors
must be put in the foods before they
go into the cooker.
Incidental experiments showed that.
with some foods, there is danger of
overlooking, as custards may curdle.
or potatoes absorb water. Soap stock
and meat stews, however, are of better
flavor than when cooked on stove as
are also the dried fruits. The hay
box has also proven useful for keeping
ice cream, sherbets and other cold
foods from melting, as the packing
acts as an insulator, and prevents
change of temperature

MARKET STOOD UP

The List Displayed a Measuring
 Power of Resistance.

New York. May 27.-The aock market today sustained some rude buffets in demoralizing breaks in Gould stocks, and the power of re-
 sistance to this influence had some effect of reinsurance on speculative sentiment. It has been observed from the speculative liquidation in pro
 gress this week that it has not UT
 gently pressed on the falling of the market, advantage being taken rather of the strong periods to market stock. In the local money market, money continues to be easy in spite of the weeks requirement of nearly $1S.000. 900 on New York banks, al
 ready met, for the return of govern menu deposits and for exports of gold. Apparently this heavy drain was offset fully one-third by the continued inflow of currency from the interior. The passage through
 the house of the emergency currency bill induced some early buying of stocks

A NEW ARGUMENT
 FOR GOOD ROADS
How the Sale Corner .n Corn Was Made Possible.

Chic1en. May 25.-With the big
 western railroads breaking all trans
 p'rtatiun records in handling the flood
 of corn which is still pouring in to this
 city from shipping points all over the
 Middle West, grain men here figure
 that muddy roads alone made the big "eorner'' nossible and that If the high
 ways Of Ealf 2 dozen states had been
 in shape to let the farmers haul their toreG up corn to the station it would have broken the price and made mill lions Of dollars difference to farmers, dealers ard commission men. As it was, every effort was made to make up for the lost time. The enormous deman. for corn and the pressure brought to bear by shippers caused the traffic departments of the railroads to tissue emergency orders. Corn was Igiten the right of way and shipments that would ordinarily take three or four days to reach Chicago were rush ed through in half that time. For lawhilc g report was current that one railroad promised that corn from all

Nebraska points would reach Chicago within AS hours after loading. The part that bad roads played in the de- lay of shipments may stimulate a general improvement Of the national highways. According to the latest government figures there are 215I, ,570 miles of public roads in the United States, outside of incorporated cities, towns and villages. Of this mileage 10S,232 miles were surfaced with gray el, 3S,621 with stone and 6S09 with spe- cial materials making a total of 153,
 664 miles of improved road or only TIA per cent of the entire mileage Taking the country as a whole there is one mile of road for every 35 in- habitants and one mile of inn proved road for every 492 inhabitants.
 A novel experiment in municipal ownership will be undertaken in this city shortly as part of the campaign which IS now being waged for better living conditions in the crowded tene- ment districts. This is a model dairy farm, to be established and operated under the supervision of the health department, for the purpose of furnish- ing pure milk to the babies of Chica- go during the hot summer months. The decision of the city to undertake the venture IS the result of a recent investigation into the city's mortality which showed some startling condi- tions. According to Health Commits sioner Evans, 1O,097 children under 3 years Of age died in Chicago during the past year. A large percentage of these deaths were laid to the use of impure milk The germs of disease and decay grow very rapidly in milk much more rapidly than in water" said Dr. Evans. Germs nj milk will double every twenty minutes, under favorable conditions. This means that if one germ falls into fifteen drops of milk. in eight hours 1t will contain about 16,O00,000 germs. The milk for a city the size of Chicago is shipped a considerable distance, and( in conse- quence is twenty-four hours old or more before :t is consumed. If it is to come to Us fit for babies to drink. the greatest precautions are neces- sary." Energetic steps are being ta- ken by the municipal authorities to prosecute dealers who sell milk that is not up to the standard During the past Is months 1929 suits for low grade product have been brought against storekeepers and S92 against milk depot owners. The new model dairy will be situated somewhere out side the city. It will be conducted in accordance with the latest scientific methods and the milk will be deliver ed direct to the consumers before it is F hours old. The officers of the health departments expect great good tosresuIt from 'fffe sclieme and careful comparisons will he made of the nor tality in the districts where the real milk" is delivered with the death rate in other similar sections.

1 Memorial day observanceS here this year will be marked by public remem- brance. for the first time. of every member of the famous board Of trade battery, a consequence of the recent completion Of it's roster after forty years of search for some missing mem
 bers. At a reunion of 24 survivors, for whom the old bugle was blown for the first time since 1865, word was received from Murry Nelson, for years Ia grain broker and now retired, in
 whose office the battery was enlisted.
 In behalf of the board of trade, which equipped them as well as the battery. he also organized three regiments of infantry, the 72nd, SSth and goth Illi- nOis Volunteers. It was he, also, who in behalf of the board of trade organ
 ized the relief work for the yellow fev-
 CT sufferers in 1878 and who for the
 board raised s100,00O to carry on the relief work. Only 46 of the 156 mem
 bers of the battery are among the living ito the rest a monument stands
 in Rosehill cemetery bearing the names
 of the battles in which the daredevil
 gunners' galantry won the special rec
 ognition of a stand of colors, an honor not accorded any other battery. The
 membership fthe G. A. R. in Illinois
 now is less than 1S.OO0, only three
 other states having greater member ship, New York with 26,000, Ohio with 22, 900 and Pennsylvania with 23000.
 The first post Of the dwindling Grand
 Army was organized in Decatur this
 state. Joseph Rosenbaum, elected at Quincy, commander Of the Illinois de- partment, G. A. R. is the president of one of the big grain houses of the
