WASTE AND GOLD TO BLAME.

A special commission appointed
BY the governor Of Massachu-
setts to investigate and re-
mort on the cost Of living prob
lam has made its report. In summing
up it's findings the commission held
the increased cost to be due:
- ITO the increase in the gold sup
nly. with consequent reduction IN
the purchasing power Of money.
@ ITO extravaganza and waste,
and the increasing burden of poverty,
disease. accident and crime.
The commission reported that 1t
found no evidence to warrant the con-
clusion that the trusts, the tariff or
labor unions were active factors in
increasing prices. The report covers
7oo nrinted pages and shows the re-
anti Of an exhaustive study Of the sub
iect The conditions regarding the
meat supply and the causes Of the ad-
vance of meat prices are covered at
length
The salient facts in the present sit
nation are summed up as: DE
crease Of the meat supply through the
reduction of farm animals in the coun-
try. 2-heavy expectation of beef In
the years prior to 1906; 3-break-up
Of western ranges; 4-sharp advance
in the price of corn; Increased cost
of farm lands. The report states:
when all the influences arr taken
into account the wonder is not that
meat prices are SO high, but that they
have not risen highe'. 1t is not neces-
sary, in order to read the meaning OF
this phenomenon to gaze into any
mares nest Of combination, conspir-
acy or manipulation. The explanation
lies ready at hand in the multiplicity
OF natural and economic factors that
have all combined to increase the cost
OF producing and distributing the meat
supply. It Is evident, furthermore,
that the main causes Of the present
high prices must continue in the future
to operate to advance the cost Of
meat to the consumer in ever greater
degree
The causes Of the advance are sum-
married. as follows:
1. The primary cause of the world
wide advance Of prices since 1897 has
been the increase of the gold supply,
which has reduced the purchasing
power Of money and brought about a
corresponding increase of values mea-
sured in money in all the leading COM
mercial states, and at least in the
United States has served as the basis
for vast extension of credit.
2. The advance of prices in the
United States has been accelerated
greatly by the enormous waste of in
come. through uneconomic expendi-
ture for war and national armament,
and through multiple forms of extrav-
agance, both public and private, and
of wastage, both individual aud social.
The increasing burden of disease,
accident, crime and pauperism impos
ed upon society, and the loss through
expenditure on rising scale for lux
uries and through wasteful domestic
methods are potent factors contribut-

News of the death Of King Edward
was received with sincere regret in
this country. There has always been
a close bond of sympathy between this
country and Great Britain and King
Edward did his part to cement this
bond. He was always the friend OF
peace and in his diplomatic exchanges
with other nations did much to pre-
serve pleasant relations between the
nations. King Edward was democratic
to the core and snobbery was thing
apart from his nature.

MAKES MAP OF STAMPS.
Charles Triem, Former Marshalltowr
Man, Makes Peculiar Curiosity.

Mr.. Charles G. Triem, OF Omaha,
who formerly lived in this city and
whose parents. Mr.. and Mrs. P. A.
Triem, lived a few years ago at 8
North Third street, has just complet-
ed map of the United States made
entirely of postage stamps.
For many years Mr.. Triem has been
collector of postage stamps. After
he saw &; map made of one kind Of
stamps he conceived the idea Of using
many different stamps, one kind for
each state. Mexican stamps are used
to show where that country lies and
Canadian stamps are placed where
that country's position shows.
Some of the smaller states required
but one stamp or part of stamp.
Others took score or more. 1t re-
quired an infinite amount of patient
work to fit the stamps to all the
spaces. There is a great variety of
colors, blended prettily together by
which the different state lines are
clearly delineated. Some of the stamps
are over half century old.
After making the map Mr.. Triem got
the idea of making a flag out OF
stamps. This he did and it proved
much easier than making the map.
Half a dozen different kinds of stamps
were used in this. but most of them
were the red 2-cent stamps.

HAS YOUNGSTERS LINED UP.
r. J. Guver, Y. M. c. A. Physical Di.
rector. Making Good.

K. j. Guyer, physical director of the
Railroad Y NJ. C. A., is making good
with the boys of the association, If the
attendance at the weekly gymnasium
classes of these boys is an indication.
His first and only slight difficulty with
the boys was to preserve order while
the classes were in session. He soon
overcame this by kindly, but firmly,
ejecting from the classes the boys who
created disturbances. The lads soon
learned that the new physical director
was not to be trif1ed with. and that
when he said silence that was what he
meant 1t was necessary to discipline
a few of the boys at first by sending
them from classes. hut more recently
this has not been necessary. Now the
boys have learned that they must pay
attention and obey orders while doing
class work in the gymnasium. The re-
suit has been that the gymnasium work
of these boys has advanced more rap
idly than it ever has before, and there
is an entire absence of all noise. con-
fusion, shouting and the stamping OF
feet during class hours. During classes
now no boy speaks unles she is given
permission to do so. All pay attention
and are getting good from their work.
and the attendance Of the classes is
growing:s

birds. Few have been killed in the
county this fall, owing to the double
reason that they are far from plentiful
and because they seldom bunch in
coveys until the snow comes and are
hard to find without a great deal Of
hard hunting, until that time.
For several years the state game
warden has made an effort to help the
quail thru the winter by arranging
with many farmers in various parts of
the state to feed the birds In their
neighborhoods. This plan is to Def OIL

The lack Of snow has also given
many cotton tails longer lease on life
than they ordinary get. Few rabbits
have been killed so far, and until snow
comes they will be quite a luxury.
