GROCERS AGAINST
CUTTING THE
PRICES
Also Protest at Wholesalers
Selling to Hotels and to
Boarding Houses.

Members of the Retail BGrocers as
sociatiOn met at the chamber Of COM
merce Wednesday evening and declared
their policy on three important points.
1t was decided that members of the
association should not advertise cut
prices on standard groceries for the
purpose of attracting people to their
stores.
Wholesalers were urged to protect
the retail grocers instead Of allowing a
trade discount to restaurants. hotels.
saloons, and boarding houses 1t was
declared that under the present ar
rangements, restaurants and boarding
houses can buy their supplies at whole
sale on as good terms as the grocers,
and such an arrangement was voted to
be unfair to the regular dealers who
have large sums invested in the bust
ness.
Wholesale produce houses were asked
to give better treatment to grocers. 1t
was stated that vegetable and fruit
peddlers have been making it a point TO
visit the markets early and securing
the pick of the offerings. leaving the
grocers to take such stuff as remained
committee was appointed to take up
this matter with the dealers in order to
secure better treatment for the gro
GERS. the committee being made up as
IOllOWS- j. u. FRANKLIN, Joseph George,
H P Jackson, and James Clifford.
Another committee was named to
visit the wholesale meat and grocery
dealers, and urge them to protect the
grocers on trade discounts. This COM
mittee was: D. H. Griffith, W. H. Ho-
garth, J. !. Graves.
1t was asserted that the association
is in no sense a com oina ton and that
no raise in prices to the consumers is
contemplated 1t was stated that if a
better buying system could be inaug-
urated they would be able to sell at
lower prices. II was intimated that in
the event that satisfactory terms could
not be secured from dealers in the city
the association would resolve itself into
buying association and import its own
supplies.
The matter of credits was discussed
and plans formulated whereby the item
of bad accounts might be eliminated
About 35 firms were represented at
the meeting and It was stated that
practically ali of the American firms
in the city, about 40. had agreed to
join the association. W. c. White. the
president, presided and J. c. Ingles
served as secretary.

Office Boy Knows What He

Bud, Herald office boy. has a

this way:
Bud entered the office Thursday
morning, radiant in smile and a
bouquet. After presenting a flower to
a reporter friend he sat down before
an unoccupied desk and drummed out
the following copy:

Dry Shampoo Better
Than Soap and Water
From The New york Cranbi

(From The New York Graphic).
'Once in two or three months is as
often as ii is advisable to wash the
hair with soap and water" says Clari-
bel Montague, the beauty expert. The
rubbing, drying and rinsing, together
with the action of the alkali III the
soap-especially the alkali-tend to
make the hair coarse, hard and brittle.
Too much moisture causes the hair to
become thin and lose its color.
"A simple and satisfactory dry sham
poo is made by mixing four ounces of
powdered orris root with four ounces
of therox. Sprinkle tablespoonful of
this mixture on tie head and brush
thoroughly through the hair once or
twice week. That is all there is to
IT. This treatment not only keeps the
hair light fluffy and lustrous, but
therox produces the growth of new
hair

The Rio Grande river at FL Paso was

Of the usual time
The reclamation service has received
advices from points along the Rio
Grande as far as 100 miles up the
stream and the reports state that the
river has been rising steadily for the

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER

From the wichita BedcOn.
 Men who make newspapers some times believe that their profession is an exacting one. They are wrong. It Is the simplest calling. Making a news paper is an easy trick. Anybody can do it. A lawyer with only a diploma and a brass sign, who would lose n suit even If the other side was ready to confess judgment, will tell you how to run a newspaper. A physician who would send his patient to the morgue before the prescription has been filled will know all about the fine points of making a newspaper. An actor that never earned any other plaudit than a soft tomato will give instructions to handling the worlds news. An old lady who knows enough to get off a street car backward has positive opinions on it. Even a society person who never paid anything but calls or made any thing but a visit, did anything but a tailor, knows how stupid those men are who write "stories," edit copy" wrestle with "h heads," that won't fit and get the paper out on time. One reason for the universal perfection in this trade among those who do not work at all is that everybody has been em- ployed in 1t. It is most unusual thing to meet a man who, when the occa- sion seems ripe, will not say, 'I used to be a newspaper man myself" Ev- cry time man works his country ed- itor for a puff on the strength of a big pumpkin, he graduates into journal ism. When he writes a 'piece" for the Squash County Clarion about a most enjoyable entertainment he completes his postgraduate course in newspaper work, and when he writes a communi- cation on both sides of the paper to the editor he becomes thirty third degree member of the Tribe of Scribe. That so many men have abandoned lit- erature for law, medicine, and other easy walks of life simply shows that many men would rather fail in one thing than another.

A MOVING PICTURE BATTLE

From the Washington Post.
 You might imagine that Central park Is not the best place in the world to visit if you were in search of adven- ture but I saw a most exciting battle between a troop of regular cavalry and about 50 villaious-looking redskins in one of the secluded corners of the big tract this summer" said R. P. Somers of New York at the Shoreman.s
 "Of course there is no need of ex- blaming that it wasn't real battle, nor probably of adding that the par ticipants in the struggle were employed by some moving picture company. realized what was going on as soon as I came upon the warning troops and Indians. But that didn't lessen my in terest. I was the only spectator, so far as I could tell The whole show might have been arranged for my ben eft I felt something like that old mad King of Bavaria must have felt when he had those big spactacles performed with himself the only member of the audiences As you might imagine, the soldiers won the battle. The Indians tumbled over each other to escape the charging horses. It was great, And there was one element that is lacking in the reproduction of pictures on the screen. The report of the guns made the scene more realistic. And from start to finish the Indians were yelling as loudly and fiercely as so many real Apaches. Why they did this I don't know The noise wouldn't be repro duced on the film. suppose the yells warmed the actors up to their work, or maybe they were just getting a little fun out of the thing for them- selves
 q might add that, according to some very vigorous remarks of one of the camera operators, 1t was very evident that spectators were not altogether welcome. But my feelings weren't badly hurt, and I had managed to have very exciting morning."

Elpction Day and the Rough Rider

Election day comes on Tuesday of next week and strenuous political con tests extend all the way from Cali .,rnia +o New Hampshire inclusive, with dip southward to Tennessee. It is mt q good time to indulge In proph- ecv. Straw votes are uncertain. Money nov,ever. continues to be staked in New York on Dix at odds of to l. N5onev Is not. however, a sure index. IT is better to await the counting Of the votes now near at hand. Every democrat is, however, at liberty to cherish the hope In the meanwhile that the next House of Representa- tives will be democratic and that pub lie sentiment sternly sets against the party of special interests.
 Senator Root intimates that sweep ing democratic victory this year might, by demonstrating MT. Tafts unayaila- bility in 1912, bring MT. Roosevelt again before the people as a presidential can- didate. Beyond all doubt MT. Roose- welt Is keeping the way open. He re- fuses to take himself out of the race in 1s12-that is to say, he refuses to do this specifically and categorically.
 Never before in the history of this country has an ex-President gone from town and town denouncing a party nominee in a stumping tour that is the very reverse of historic dignity. All of his predecessors have accepted the will of the people in a dignified man ner but Theodore Roosevelt has thrown himself into bitter politics eith- CT as a Warwick or for his own pur- poses, and time alone can tell which of the two he has up his sleeve.

Aviation At Belmont Park

Although the winds blew hard at Belmont park yet dozen machines of various patterns were kept in motion every day during the week just ended. As whole the event was extremely Interesting as well as spectacular. It showed to all beholders and to all readers that the art of flying is no longer a calm weather affair. The man. bird of this year Is ready to face winds that the flyer of last year would have finched from.
 The new Wright machines stood all tests well at Belmont park. They are a match. to say the least, for any airship made in France or elsewhere. Thus far this country and France are winning most of the prizes and the glory connected with mans conquest of the air, and the two countries bid fair 
 art. The great event at Belmont park did not bring out remarkable coni- petitor from any other county.
 The United States and France-the worlds two great republlcs-can af- ford to divide the honors connected with the effort to render the air as subservent to mans uses as the wa ter is. The task is well started and Belmont park has given it an addi- tional boost. The year has been a won Eerful one in aviation and no doubt there will be flights in the air to the last day of 1t.

Sidney Lanier and Walt Whitman

| The work of the 100 highbrows of the hall of fame of New York university is Chiefly significant for what it does not cover. They have refused or possibly neglected to place panels In the hall of fame to the two poets whom many critics say were the greatest poets that ever lived in this country, although they have put the names of many lesser poets in the hall they control.
 Sidney Lanier was not widely regarded as a great poet when he died in the early sos. but his fame has been rising ever since, and no one outranks him now as a poet among the highly culti- vated. He was, too, musician, and he studied the relations between poetry and music, and in one of his longer poems he discloses with singular charm that re- Iation. He had. said a critic recently. more poetry in his little finger than some

NO GUN AT CHURCH

From the New York Sun.
 It was evening service in church that is popular with men. A young man whom the usher had never before seen advanced for about three steps up the aisle, then he said, Wait minute,' and retreated to the vestibule, where the sexton's clerk sat during the first part of the service. The young man took a revolver from his pocket and laid it on the table. The clerk said. Thank you," and slipped the revolver into the table drawer.
 Another case of peculiarly devel- oped conscience" said he. Every little while somebody drifts in here carrying something in his pocket that he Is ashamed to take into the church. Pos sibly that man has a permit to carry q revolver. Anyhow, he has no com punctions against carrying one every place else he goes but his conscience balks at taking 1t into church. No doubt more incidents of that kind take place here than in most churches, for this is church where men just drop in without any special preparation. have seen men hand over a pack of cards, a bottle of liquor-a variety of things in fact, that are intrinsically harmless, but which do not seem com- patible with devotional attitude"
