ERROR MADE BY HOUSEWIFE
High-Priced Cuts of Beef Really Con tain Less Nutriment Than
 the Others.

The world of education will come in for a large share of attention at the beef consumers congress in Denver next January. At the present time so per cent. of the beef demand is for the oin and ribs, while the chuck and round and other portions of the ami nal so begging for customers. In the average beef carcass loin and ribs constitute only about 25 per cent. of the total available meat and fully 80 per cent. of the demand is for this p per cent. of the carcess. As a re. suit the loin and ribs sell at enormous. y high prices, while the other DOT uons are comparatively cheap. For instance, in Denver today the average price of ribs is about 30 cents per pound, and the loin brings from 27 and a half to 35 cents per pound; the round and trump can be bought from l7 and half to 20 cents, chuck for 15 cents. plate and brisket for eight cents and less, and the flank and suet from eight to ten cents per pound. AS a matter of scientific fact. the round and chuck contain more nutriment than do the loin or rib. so that 1t is merely matter of preparation.

FILED Il!;H AS 4 MoDaTs"',,
Twenty Thousand Tons of Old iron Enco~ passed In a Single Pile
 in San Francisco.

The largest scrap heap in the word is in San Francisco, relic Of fae great fire which followed the eatth- quake of April, 1906. It is 40 feet high. 100 feet square, and contains 29.- 900 tons, all cut in equal lengths Of IS inches, and piled in one solid mass. with the sides as smooth and solid aS a brick wall.
 This Is the only one of four heaps os equal sise and proportions which remains intact in its original size and shape, the other three having been drawn upon as the material was need ed Many other scrap heaps are piled about the bay awaiting ship ment, some as big as house, and oth- CTS mere hillocks, scattered over acres of ground.
 Since the fire one company has handled 150,O00 tons of this old mate rial. It has six large shears in op- eration to cut the iron and steel. either that it may be better handled for shipment or for the furnace, says the Iron Trade Review Little of this scrap Is used in San Francisco, the bulk of 1t being shipped to the Atlantic coast or to European ports.

taking place! But this abuse O.
 word seems venial when we turn to the sporting page and find that every event recorded from dog fight to a running race Is classy" It may be assumed by some critics that this word flashed upon the sporting fra ternity as great prize through the revival of the Olympic games. Greek authors wrote books now known as classics, and by the same token their athletic games obtained like desig- nation. But why should prizefight be called "classy?" Probably the word is slangy equivalent of high class" At any rate, 1t is as illegiti- mate and offensive as "brainy."
 But the offending is not confined to the editors of sporting pages. To go through the catalogue of misused words would far exceed the limits of any editorial article. Yet one can hardly leave the subject without re- cording solemn protest against the phrase armed with warrant" or the aeronaut who 'negotiates a trip" around the aerOdrome. And one would like to add that 'inaugurate." which means to induct in office. does not happily characterize the running of a new railroad train or the opening sale of autumn millinery.
 The colleges of America are doing good work in their departments of English literature to prevent the wan ton misuse and abuse of our magnifi- cent language. but the education should begin in our grammar schools. where the great majority of our chill dren receive their only education.

State Teachers Association

For the benefit of those teach CTS who failed to attend the State Teachers Association at Hot Springs, I am glad that it is my privilege to write this letter through one of our county papers.
 Although 1 had never attend ed the association before, it was a great surprise to me to find that from the great number of teachers of Nevada County, which must be something over one hundred, there were enroll ed at the association, not more than two or three besides the faculty at Prescott. The dis. trict teachers do not realize the advantage of this institution. There are many books and maga- zines written that will help a teacher in her work, but no teacher can do her best without attending the association. No teacher could have listened to Dr. HartzOg'S address without feeling deep sense of pride in her profession, and I am sure that no district teacher in this county, and might say in any other county, could have listen ed to Prof B. w. Torreson s address on the sanitary condi- tion of our schools, without feel. ing the remorse of conscience.
 Many district school boards do not see the advantages of the association and are not willing to allow their teachers time to attend. while the more progress sive schools pay their teachers for their time. To all school boards I would say that although you may not have much money you could not spend part of sit more profitable than to send your teacher to the association and to the teachers, if your di- rectors will not pay you for your time, spend your own money and go anyway. You and your students will be well paid and then we will know that we are following progressive lines.
 Yours very truly,
 Roy R. Tompkins.

MARKING TIME.

With President Taft in Panama,
with Roosevelt apparently daed by de-
defeat and democracy equally dazed
by victory, we have been having a
decided lull in politics of late. This
is we'll for there has already been too
much disturbance. The very thought
of democratic victory has sent prices
of farm products on the toboggan
slide. The prices are the lowest that
they have been for many months. Low
er prices for food products has been
the battle cry of all the eastern
states. 1t was under this banner that
the democrats marched to victory in
Massachusetts and Connecticut and
to a great extent in New York. The
democratic victory means an attempt
to reduce the prices Of farm products
and as usual even the threat has been
operative to lower prices. 1t is true
that there is a bumper corn crop in
this part of Iowa. But it is equally
true that the wheat crop of the Da-
kotas and Minnesota and of Kansas
was not more than half crop. Tn
der ordinary conditions the shortage
in wheat would maintain the price OF
corn. But the threat of democracy al
ready hangs heavy over the land. The
people of the east have been promised
cheaper food stuffs, the people Of the
west have been promised cheaper
manufactures, and everybody every
where has promised to give the rail
roads "Jessie.' There will be no more
extension of manufacturing plants the
next two years. The manufacturer
= will be afraid. He will not go ahead
with confidence and manufacture ar
tcles for future market, for he Will
be afraid The man with money is
not going to make investment for he
will be afraid The capitalist will re-
call his loans, for he will be afraid
The farmer will not invest in new
lands for he will be afraid. This will
react on the price of his own land fol
other people will be afraid. The in
sane desire to rip the tariff is al
ready bearing fruit. 1t has taHe1
from five to ten cents off of every
bushel of corn Crawford county has
raised this year How do you like it

ern republicans whose efforts have

1t is not waving the bloody shirt to

none of the great problems of the
nation can ever be settled. The ques-

questions they approach from pure
ly academic standpoint. They have
few interests in common with the
great industrial north. But it is into

THE PIPE ORGAN.

Denison has never had gift that
held in 1t more potentialities for good
and fewer for evil than are con
tanned in the pipe organ presented by
Mr.. G. L. Voss to the Methodist church
and to the people of Denison. The
recital on Friday evening by Prof. Ed
ward Kreiser, served to show the pos
sibilities of the great instrument. The
twitter of birds in the tree tops, the
signs of summer breeZes sweeping
where the grasses grow, the murmur
of many waters, voices OF the past,
the memory of lullabys, the echo of
violins, the crash of brass. the roll OF
the surf, the call Of the storm, the
exaltations of joys, the heart cries OF
despair, the dull, unending pain Of
grief, the constant note OF hope and
faith and love, these, all of them,
came forward at the magic of the
masters touch, flooding the mind with
melodies and with memories the soul.
The organ will be a gift to all our
people. 1t will make us all better.
1t will add solemnity to solemn scenes
and a new JOY to scenes OF JOY
BUSINESS. 1t will bring inspiration to
those who worship, and comfort and
soothing to those who mourn.
The pipe organ cost about as much
as a first-class automobile. There
are hundred men in the county who
have been able to afford an automo-
bile for their own enjoyment, while
there has been but one man in the
county who has felt that he could If
ford pipe organ for the enjoym ant
of hundreds of people for fifty years
to come. Mr.. Voss deserves the
thanks of Denison. He has the rare
faculty of making money like a Wiz
ard and the still rare! faculty OF
spending it like prince.
The recital emphasized another
fact; that Denison has a singer who
is worthy Of the noble instrument
which accompanied the marvellous
sweetness of her voice.
Not citizen was present who was
not proud of the lovely Denison wo-
man, the beauty OF whose face and
voice was but a reflection of the beau
ty of her character. Denison has a
number of gifted vocalists besides
Mrs. Sibbert, all of whom will be
benefited and inspired by the feet
that this splendid instrument is nov
at their command. The singing OF
Mrs. Thomas, of; Omaha, showed the
perfection which art and nature can
achieve and we believe the new pipe
organ will give such a musical impetus
to our community that our city will
produce not one, but many, stars OF
like brilliancy. =
