GREAT RECORD. w. HOSk1ns
reports 70 sales during the past
winter season. These sales brought
a total of $14S, 537, exclusive of real
estate, of which he sold several
pieces. The receipts were about 16
per cent less than last year, on ac
count of the great slump in the price
of hogs and other things. Last year
he had 65 sales. The largest sale of
the past season was Nick Adams,
at Hurricane, when Mr. Hoskins
sold SO, $50 in less than four hours.
How's that for one-hoss country

are waiting to hear from others.
MOUNTAIN LIONS Bert Cook was

told us of an exciting chase that he
and John Klinger and son Ora had
with three mountain lions over in
Crawford county. The lions are in
the country north of Bridgeport,
and probably they escaped from
some circus menagerie. They have
killed some hogs, from which they
extracted hearts and livers. The
hunters followed one of them fifteen
miles, and its trackswere four inches

having lost foot. When running
fast the animal would jump thirty
feet. The party had hound and
bull dog. The bull dog closed with
the lion and was killed. The citl,
zens of the vicinity are in terror
and do not go cut at night. They
are planning great roundup to
kill the wild beasts.
CHANGE OF BUSINESS. r. N.
Hosk1ns has bought Mrs. Mary
Brady's undertaking outfit in Mt.
HOPE, and he expects to maintain it
in the present quarters in the Brady
building. Mr.. Hoskins is consider
ing the idea of adding a general
line of furniture, wall paper, car

could make it pay in conjunction
with the Bloomington store.

ticans should get out the trumpets with the loud
est blare and inaugurate ostentatious displays of
pretended prosperity and thus encourage the peo-
pie in their days of adversely. Of course, this
keeping up appearances might not result in any
great amount of solid comfort for those who really
do feel the need of bread but if everybody will pre-
tend to be prosperous, put bold front and look
prosperous, the cruel deception might work well on
departed glories and bring the hidden dollar
out from its alternating place.
In the meantime, however, it would be well for
the fellow looking for job to look as we'll he
can, but our candid advice would be for him to buy
as generous quantities of substantial food as his
limited means will procure and look for job
full stomach. Maybe those who can afford to look
prosperous will bring back the happy conditions of
jobs hunting for when the springtme opens
up. We hope so, anyway.

FARM LIFE.

If there is one mode of life that is essentially
independent it is that afforded by farming If
owns good farm, free from incumbrance
and he has health and strong arm, there is moth
ing in city or town life which can compare with
his independent existence. When city man con-
siders the life of farmer, he is likely to overlook
the one point connected with an agricultural pur-
suit, and that is that there is great deal of work
about it. But given the heart to work, and suf-
fcient intelligence to guide that work so that he
will get the maximum of results for the minimum
of effort, he has within his grasp not only good
living, but freer life and healthier surroundings
than almost anybody living in a city
The truth of the matter is that the farmers of
the country could live on we'll and prosperously
and at the same time practically bankrupt every
city dweller if they would organuize as closely as
one of our overfed trusts. But that is not the
object of the farmers existence He doesn't want
to get rich; that is, he doesn't want to get rich
badly his urban-dwelling brother He is
willing to coneede the right to live to everybody
and would like to have share in the city luxu-
res but he is willing to pay for them He realizes
that he feeds and clothes the people of the nation
but he does not want to organize trust of his
business, though he may be compelled to if the
trusts squeeze him little more
1t is of the peculiar economic conditions
of the country that the farmer sells his stuff in
the cheapest market there is for his goods. and
that the consumer of his goods, after they have
been handled several times, probably manufac-
tured into articles of commerce, buys those prod
ucts of the farmer in the highest market For in
stance, with wool selling at II and - cents
pound, there clothes and sweaters and other
things made from that wool selling for as much

the hygienic laws than adults. While we quite
agree with Dr. Koch that children should be
taught to care for their bodies in cleanliness the
care of the skin and teeth we not so sure that
an observance of those laws by adults would not
be better precept than teaching Besides, children
in the public and parochial schools nearly all
well cared for in matters of health The ventia-
ton of most of the school buildings of the coun-
try especially of the buildings, is far better
than the ventilation in the Shops offices and stores
in which their parents earn their livelihood. There
can be no real benefit secured by knowledge of
sanitary laws if the observance of those laws is
made impossible from the necessities of human
beings being compelled to work in unsanitary
places in order to make living.
On the statute books of Utah are very stringent
laws compelling the ventilation of coal mines, but
there workshops right in the city of Salt Lake
that are not so much better than a coal mine when
it comes to sanitation and ventilation. Those who
are compelled to work in them, or feel that they
are because of the exigencies of their trade and
needs of life, know we'll that they are suffering
from the bad sanitary conditions, but are power
less to correct them A sanitary workroom ought
not to be looked upon as benevolent provision
ployer, but should be provided in justice to the
workers and in justice to the world at large.
knowledge of sanitary laws is useless when the
one knowing is unable to provide for himself such
a place to work in. No matter about the home
conditions; the good women of America know
what cleanliness is and know the relation of clean
illness to health. We believe that most of the
schools and most of the homes are better in hy-
gienic matters than the average workshop, Office
store. Attention should be given to these
places, too, when the campaign against disease is
started. Until it is given, we must conclude that
the efforts of the International tuberculosis Con-
gress and similar scientific bodies will bear but
small fruit. Education in these matters is of
vital Importance. but a knowledge that. cannot be
followed by the man who knows is of small benefit
to him in his struggle to live and provide for his
family.

THE HIGHEST BUILDING.

The American people are eminently SUPER
lative people. They cannot be contented with
anything less than the greatest highest, most etc,
in their endeavors The largest navy, the greatest
manufacturing plants, the strongest army-we all
claim we could have these things, even if we
haven't them already. That is the spirit of the
day In New York it has been carried so far that
not contented with the highest buildings in the
world, they wanted to build one or two so high
that no other people would be so foolish as to at
tempt an imitation. They talked of erecting
building mile high. Capable engineers figured
it out that such monstrosity could be erected
and that it would be perfectly safe-if the wind
didn't blow it over or if the crust of the earth did
not cave in under the immense weight placed upon
foundation of the size of the building.
Nobody has yet figured out just how much
weight the surface of the earth will bear but thu
scientific fellows have assured the projectors of
the cutlandish skyscrapers that the crust of tho
earth would probably not hold up under the pre-
posed milehigh building which the architects
templated. They have figured up the possible
weight Of building a mile high, and have an
nounced that it would be somewhere in the neigh
ho~hood of 100000 tons.
able. To carry such weight on a railroad would
require 1900 trains of twenty cars each, and each
car loaded to its capacity of 10000 pounds. To
pile such weight on a plot of ground 200 or 800
feet square, assured by the scientific fell
lows, would result in the whole thing sinking, AMI
probably taking with it a good-sized chunk of
Manhattan island. For this reason, the municipal
authorities of the city of New York have said
that no milehigh building shall be erected in the
city. Which may be good sense, but if some
other city some other country should decide to
build such tower, it would be hard for the Amer
lean people, and especially those living in New
York City, to forego taking a chance with the
physical limitations of the earth's stratum about
New York, and Guido anybody who presumes to
take away the superlative degree of foolishness
from us
