Waiting for a Trust?

Waiting for Trust?
 Ii you live in New York you pay ten cents a quart for milk and in Chicago eight cents. The dairynen who furnish the milk get about half as much for 1t, and the cost, per quart, of trans portatlon from dairy to city is so small as to be almost negligi. ble. Why is milk so dear? By looking out of the kitchen window any morning you can see one of the answers. This milkman's cart delivers a bottle at No. 10 A Street, another bot tie at No. 10 B Street, third at No. 10 C Street. The next cart delivers a bottle at No. II A Street, one at No. Il B Street, one at No. II C Street. The carts beat over one another's tracks.
 If there were a real trust all the waste of this duplicate would be eliminated. Of course, the consumer would get no benefit from the saving. The trust would hog it, issuing many mil lions of fiat common stock to absorb the profits arising from a consolidated delivery ser vice.
 In this country town are a half dozen shops that deliver goods to customers-groceries, meat, hardware, furniture and so on. Each of them-unless some eco. homie light has already penetra- ted there maintains it's own horse and aeon, which are idle two-thirds of the time. By CO., operating and using one or two wagons the cost of delivering could easily be cut in half. A trust, of course, would see to that at once and pocket the say ing.
 Almost invariably, SO far, we have waited for a trust to show us how these wastes may be elirn- inated-and to pocket the bene- fit. But it isn't necessary to wait. In many cases all that a trust could accomplish in the way ot eliminating waste can be accomplished by co-operation.- Saturday Evening Post.

Advice for "Amazette."

Miss Suthers of Ken. lucky, who Is coming for g short visit. and who is one of the famous beau tiful Suthers girls who are so often pictured in the magazines, and whom she met down east last summer, and she is simply going to have a light luncheon, with dainty trimmed sand wiches, consomme in cups, the salad and an ice, because Miss Suthers, whose brother you remember almost married the daughter of Russian nobleman while he-Mr. Suthers, not the nobleman-was yachting a year or SO ago, the time, you remember, that the yacht upset and the noble- man rescued the party, and so of course she wants to have a really pretty luncheon for Miss Suthers and would be ever so truly obligated for a recipe.

A Brand, New Phrase.

"A 0EdnoJ lNcW
 The Atlanta Journal strikes a blow which will touch the heart of every true Missourian when it advocates the abolishment of the historic saying, "I'm from Mis- souri," and the substitution of Produce Your Eskimos." The phrase which became current in New York a few weeks ago-"Tell It to the Danes''-left the grand old saying of many years unmen- aced. 1t was a some w h a t euphonious paraphrase of an an cient bit of sophistication, and it seems to smack of Gotham $ fac ulty of assimilating the ideas-as well as other things-of other people. But 1t took no laurels from anyane save Dr. Cook, and Dr. Cook must still be counted as nothing when compared with a commonwealth. Let us re- ject the suggestion which comes from Atlanta. Should our school teachers. parents and guardians adopt the plan of teaching the children to say Produce Your Eskimos," we must all feel that

Every day he has his corner. where
 his wide-armed chair is placed.
 And he sits sometimes, and muses with
 his fingers interlaced-
 Muses. doubtless. of the drifting of the
 years that come and go. (And his eyes have caught their sun shine and his hair has held their snow)
 So he mods there in his corner, and it seems place apart, Seems a spot afar from stresses of the street and of the mart, Seems place that asks no portion of the rushing world without Just his corner, with his armchair, and his books spread roundabout. 
 Here he dreams betimes, and dozes, here he huns the olden songs. Here his heart is always happy-he has long forgot his wrongs; And when lamps are lit at twilight, here within his inglenook He will spend an hour of comfort with an olden friend-a book.
 But the best of ail-the children How they love those songs of his. How their feet have worn a pathway straight to where his corner isl And he drops his books and papers, and each little lass and chap Hears the wondrous fairy stories from the throne on grandpa's lap. Or the children laugh and scamper in some game about his chair And the light creates a halo of his quaintly silvered hair And the children understand him; they are playmates all, in truth, For they sense the bond that ikens happy age to joyous youth. And I sometimes think that Heaven is a place serene and fair With plenty tempting corners, each with one big wide-armed chair And grandsire throned upon it with the children at his knee, Filling all the joys of Heaven with the music of their glee.

reason for the employer bearing the
entire burden of compensation for in

burden to the consumer while the
workingman could not make a shift of
any kind.
tt also was brought out that the fed
Grafton favors the English compen-
sation system with the elimination of
that part letting the employee secure
pay under the compensation act after
he has tried to get more in the courts.
It also was agreed, even by the mem
bers of the committee, that a compen-
sation system, to be of any use what
ever, must be compulsory.
