THE WONDERFUL HERITAGE OF
OUR CHILDREN.


It is useless to repudiate the claim
that before many years have passed
great ar vessels will be sweeping
across the Atlantic, carrying large
numbers Of passengers and making
the trip from continent to continent
in three days. Almost anything seems
possible in these days of marvellous
advances in science and invention.
When Hamilton made the trip from
New York to Philadelphia and return,
at times passing the speed of fifty
miles an hour, it was apparent that
in the style of aeriel machine used
by him there would soon be practi-
cally no limit to the distance TO 3e
covered or the speed to be made Be-
fore the present year has closed trips
viii undoubtedly be made from New
York to St Louis, and the speed will
be increased beyond a mile a minute
This type of vessel appears so far on
ly adapted to the navigator and a very
few passengers. But the great dirig-
ible balloons of the Zeppelin and
other types appear definitely capable
of control and speed and safety and
at the same time of carrying a large
number of passengers and baggage.
The prediction is made that air YES
sells of this type a thousand feet long
will be in operation and meeting all
the requirements of even nervous men
and women before the present decade
has ended.
What was the wonder of the world
one day is its commonplace the next.
A few years hence an airship equipped
with wireless telegraph instruments
will excite comparatively little COM
ment except in remote stricts. In
the crowded centers of the world il
will have been seen so many times
that it will arouse but Slight passing
comment, The general public today
does not even discuss tie wonders >oi
wireless teIegraphy, except when some
new advance step is announced. As
for the great inventions of the pass
that aroused the interest of the civil
lied world, they are mere matter-of-
fact features of everyday life II

printing press, the gatling gun, tho

chapel is entirely too cramped and

games, Missouri would certainly never
have beaten Kansas. Only scatter
ing remnant sat on the bleachers last
Saturday night at the basketball
games. These games are not only
to develop the physical prowess of
those who participate in them. Their
chief purpose is to develop among the
women class loyalty and university
spirit. Those who sit on the bleach
erS. and especially those who sit on
the side lines as substitutes. know
the keen disappointment of defeat
more than those who are playing IN
tn" game" ON the other hand. they
take a corresponding pride in the
teams victory
Th" team cannot do its best if it
feels that it has 10 support. The cost
should not deter any woman from
coming To th"s" games. 1t costs only

FARMER AND SOloN
HELD TO BLAME FOR
HIGH COST OF FOOD
icy William Il. Curtis, Correspondent
OF the Chicago Record-Herald.)

NEW YoRk. Jan 2s.-- Secretary
Wilson has found that the butchers of
Washington make au average profit OF
IL per cent upon their retail sales.
which Is in excess of hat enjoyed by
retailers In almost every other city
In the country But there Is some.
thing to be said on the other side.
The Washington butchers explain that
1t is necessary for them TO charge
higher prices than elsewhere because
the season at the capital lasss Only
six or seven months. and they have
to allow suilicient ;Sarein to cover
heir rent and other expenses during
the other five months of the year, Just
As is done by dealers at summer md
winter resorts. They claim that their
expenses continue just the same dur.
ing the summer months. when hall
he population OF Washington deserts
the city for cooler climates. This ~
undoubtedly true. Half the retail
butchers shops are closed from July
to October and several of The Wash
ington market men have stores at
summer resorts which are open four
or five months in the year when bust.
ness in Washington is dull AT the
| same time anyone who will visit the
central market during the sumpler
months will find the usual activity. II
is only the shops in the fashionable
| parts of the city that are closed dur.
ing the summer YET it is only fair
that this fact he taken into consdera.
tion, and the average profit for the
year should bo estimated instend OF
the profit of the winter months.
There seems to be a disposition OIL
the part of the secretary of agrIeul
ture, the congressional committee
aud other officials who are inquirln
into the reasons for the increased cost
of living to overlook the fundamental
cause. We are continually rejoicing
over the improved condition of the
farmer who is actually responsible
for the wealth and prosperity of the
country We rejoice bucanse he ha
been able TO pay off his mortgages ant
pile up big bank accounts, buy auto
mobiles and enjoy other comforts ant
luXuries to which he vas not accus
toned until twelve on fifteen year,
ago. Yet We complain of the increas
ed cost of the food which he supplies
us and wonder why prices of mea
and bread aud potatoes have advanced
There seems to be studied attemp
TO keep the farmer out of 1t, and
determination on the part of the In
yeslieators not to lind him guilty Q
any of the responsibility for the tror
bles and trials the consumer is SUI
fering.
