IMPROVING THE MISSOURI.

In an address at St. Joseph Walter
S. Dickey of Kansas City took tho
Missouri river for a subject, and
neglected stream that ought to be
permanently navigable for thousands
of miles is large theme. Mr.. Dick
ey is at the head of company that
will put on the Missouri river a line
of steamboats, to carry freight be-
tween Kansas City and st. Louis, and
shows his faith by subscribing $780,
900 to the enterprise. He referred to
the Mississippi valley as the dread
basket of the world" and, as it furn-
ishes IS per cent of the exports of>the
United States, its place in commerce
is well known. Originally, tle coun-
try was settled through the rivers,
but in recent years their business. in
mistaken spirit, has been allowed
to run down.
e. Congress has appropriated 5000 900
to clear the channel Of the Missouri
between st. Louis and Kansas City,
but Mr.. Dickey holds that the gov
eminent should maintain it as navi-
gable stream reaching far into the
west and northwest. He believes
that sufficient quantity of the
spring floods should be impounded at
the headwaters, not only to over
come low water but In food abate-
ment. The Improvement Of such a
river is of national importance and
the Investment would be profitable,

WORKS FOR PROSPERITY.

North Dakota farmers are not all
raising wheat alone these days. J. A.
Englund, a farmer norta of Kenmare,
entered such items as these in his
farm account book recently: April

N. D., one bull calf, SO. April 10,
sold to Chris and John c. johnson OF
Norma. N. D., two grade colts, $40.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
head of the Farmers Union pledge.
the support of that organization tt
Representative Scott of Kansas, the
chairman of the committee on agri.
culture, in pressing his bill to stol
grain gambling ON the exchanges
Mr.. Scott appears to be in earnest in
advocating that measure. He does
not expect it to pass during the extra
session, but he says there will be
some chance for its enactment next
winter. The Farmers Union will aid
him in pushing the measure at that
time.
There are at least two reasons why
the bill will not pass. A national law
could not reach the gamblers, no mat
ter how adroitly it would be framed.
AS the wheat corner has collapsed,
Patten and his associates are likely
to be forgotten by the public even be-
fore the extra session ends. State
laws might reach the spectators, but
acts of congress could not. A bill
directed against Patten is before the
Illinois legislature, and may or may
not pass. Probably if it did pass it
would not accomplish the purpose Of
its trainers. Men of the Patten stamp
have often been attacked in national
and state lawmaking bodies, but,
periodically, they reappear. So far
as the general public can see, not one
Of the measures which have been
placed nron the statute book, has
hampercd TIE cornererz in any i'm
portant lcgree:,
A far more powerful factor in the
breaking up of corners than any
which any lawmaking body can de-
wise has just hit Patten. This is the
principle of supply and demand. The
spectators interrupted this law for
few weeks, but in the end it over
threw them, as it did most of their
predecessors in that game. The high
prices brought out stocks Of wheat
Of which the conspirators did not
dream. They bought and locked up
many millions of bushels, but they
were unable to buy all of it that was
offered at the artificial prices which
they caused. Thus disaster hit them.
In this way retribution came quicker
than any statute could have brought
it, and the punishment which it in
ficted in the loss of their ill-gotten
gains was severer than anything
which congress or any legislature
would have imposed. When Repres-
SCOTS bill is brought up
next winter, if it should be brought ;
up, the general public will have lost
track of Patten, and the matter will
hardly have enough interest for any
body to win for it much serious con-
in congress. -,

MAKING 1T CLEAR.

I do not know and thus
Rely upon my Congressman.
Upon the very slightest hint
He gets unended leave to print /
And when he prints speech you see
He takes and mails 1t out to me.
He makes it very clear just how
If I pay more than do now
For socks and gloves and baby's dress,
While pay more, they cost me less:
And then he shows where lose
BY paying somewhat less for shoes.
For, though I pay less than before,
My shoes they really cost
He makes it very clear to me
That what lose 1 gain, see,
And on such things as clothes and shoes
seem to GAIN but really lose
Thus if I buy socks too low,
They'll be higher, don't you know,
And shoes I thought were high last fall
Were really low shoes after ALL
You see if I pay less for shoes
Or hats, the maker has to ose
And if he loses, then you
He charges up the loss to me.
Now when have to pay him more,
He reckons profits to his score
And thus there is a share for me
In all this prosperity.
The speeches shed radiant light
Upon the theme and make it bright;
I merely read them DER and Ger
And find mores less and less is more;
In buying hat coat vest,
Dear's cheap and cheap is dear at BEST
Highs low, lows high, fairs far,
Lights dark whites black-and there you are!

Who Are Your friends.

With whom you associate is an
important matter. A man is judg.
ed by the company he keeps. If a
man chooses the companionship of
the frivolous or vicious he will be.
come like them, however innocent
he may have been when joining
their circle. If he is really not
much given to evil habits, his
choosing such associates shows
that the evil is in his heart only
waiting an occasion to be brought
out. It may be that there is some
good influence still reaching out to
keep him from actually commit
ting the same deeds that his asso.
ciates do. But even if he does not
commit himself to his associates
course OF conduct his strength of
character is weakened. He loses
his self.respect and lowers himself
in the estimation of others. You
may keep yourself safe from fire,
but not from the consequences of
evil companionship.
Choose az your associates those
whom you think are your equals, or
better still, those whom you think
are your superiors. You will then
be improving in mind and charac
ter. The Arabians have a saying:
"A dog travelling with wise man
becomes a rational being" One is
likely, quite unconsciously, to be-
come like those by whom he is sur
rounded. Observe what your com
panions are, aud you will see your.
self reflected in them.
If you would keep your self.re-
spect, choose for associates only
such az you can look up to and re.
spect. It is far better to be quite
alone than in bad company. Never
be satisfied with anything but the
best.
The building up of character, the
growing in wisdom, the learning to
live rightly, is the true aim in life.
It is of far more worth than the
OF dollars. 1t is not the
wealth you possess but what you
are that counts. Choosing the best
of associates 10 a great aid in the
upward path.-Milwaukee' Journal.
