TIE FARMERs,

One of the objections to County OPP
ton raised by wet towns, is that it
gives the farmer the right to vote the
town dry. This. OF curse is true, and
at first sight does look iug-handled
and unfair. But there is another
side 10 this question. \ side which
the city people have been abusing for
generations, and it is only fair to
the farmer that after years. of in

that the city man has been exercis-
ing towards the farmer. As long as
the cities were free to make men
beastly drunk and send them in this
condition to their homes in the coun-
try to abuse their families and their
neighbors, they did not raise the cry
OF unfair, For years the saloons
have set their traps to snare the
farmer boys, gouge them of their mon
ely, and ruin them body and soul. The
city has taxed and still is taxing the
saloon for the privilege of grinding
It's develish grist. In turn the farmer
is taxed to pay court costs to take
carr of the product of the
saloon. The farmer has been
the sufferer in every way. 1t is
therefore but simple justice that
the farmer be given opportunity to
defend himself and his property.

MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond,
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, June IS, 1910. Rath-
er light receipts of cattle for the past
month or more, have prevented pack
ers from storing up much dressed
meat in coolers, and when the de-
mand from consumer began TO in
crease two weeks ago, the reserve
supply was soon exhausted, and kill
ers have been forced to exhibit anx-
iety for supplies recently. Receipts
from Native and Western territory
continue moderate, and the flux of
cattle from quarantine territory now
coming to market is not large enough
previous to today to relieve the
strain, The market has, therefore,
made fairly good gain each of the
week 25 cents on best fed steers, and
% to SO cents ON butcher grades. The
stockers and feeders remained about
steady. as present prices are one
dollar higher thar a year ago, and
buyers hold some skepticism about
cattle paying out at prevailing prices.
The supply today was above expecta-
tons, $4,000 head here, half of which
are in the quarantine division. Best
steers are stead TO a shade lower.
account of scarcity, top sales to-
day at $S.45, $3.50 and $500. Medi-
um cattle are off 10 to % cents to-
day, bulk of steers at $6.40 to $3.50,
plain light steers downward to $3.50.
COWS at $3.50 TO $3.50, heifers 81 80

$3.50 to 1925, stockers $4.40 to $3.50,
feeders $500 to $6.25.
After considerable %fluetuating hogs
closed last week in the same notch
as close of previous week. Heavy
weights lost some prestige during the
week, the lights seem to be slated TO
take the lead in the near future. The
run is 5000 here today, liberal else
where. and packers seized the chance
10 to Is cents, top hogs at $9.31h,
which is only 1919 cents under Chi

good, as many small plants heretofore
closed for a season, are opening up,
having decided that no money can be
made by not running. Competition is
therefore better, and packers who
talked OF putting up their droves
shortly at nine dollars have eryised

One.Sided Cities.

If streets are one-sided, cities are,
too. No one, as far as the present
writer knows, has ever attempted to
give an explanation of the fact that
when a town sits astride a river that
flows east and west, the north side
has a monopoly of the best streets.
1t certainly is so in London, as it was
in ancient Rome. Glasgow is another
case in point. In Paris too, the north
side of the river has distinctly the ad-
vantage of the south. AS for New
castle-on-Tyne, its general attitude to-
ward this overgrown and rather grimy
quarter on the south bank of the Tyne
Is that of one who says, Can any
good thing come out of G~ateshead?'
Why should this be so? And why
should the west end of every city you
can find on the map be, from a social
point of view, far removed from the
east? Why is not Whitechapel Road

Worth ~Rememberinu.

Many a man, like the ancient Per-
sian, Ali Hated, who wishing to be
rich and place his children on thrones
through the influence of wealth, has
searched in vain north, south, east
and west, when there were acres of
diamonds on the old farm, found there
by the o%bservant man, who dug in his
own garden. Your fortune is in the
shop where you work, in the store
where you wait, in the house where
you sit, or on the farm where you Gull
tivate the soil. Your riches are with
in your present reach. There are
riches in every rubbish heap. Only to
the mummified, conservative, vision
less tr~aditionalist no more progress
is possible. You cannot do better any
where than just where you are. What
you need, others need.

REAL NECESSITY OF THE AGE
Misguided People Who Would Abol-
ish Poverty Herein Shown the
Error of Their Ways.

Forgive those who would abolish
poverty, for they know not what they
do. To abolish poverty would hurt
business UNNECESSARILY. There are a
great many people who get their live
lihood by dispensing charity. If poy-
erty were abolished, they would have
to join the army of the unemployed.
Furthermore, all the technical knowl7
edge of how to assist a pauper with
out pauperizing him would be wasted.
Then there is another end to It.
When a man gets rich he invariably
has two tasks before him. First. TO
build and try to inhabit a larger house
than any other mar ever built and
tried to inhabit, and, second, to en-
gage in some unique and picturesque
charitable enterprise. A reporter,
serving up a modern quick lunch BIZ
ography of rich magnates, would be
entirely at sea if he could not cata-
logue the beneficent activities of the
said magnates.
What would a poor rich mans life
be worth If he could not give a little
of his too much in order that he might
pass down into the files of history as
one who loved the poor, one who loved
the poor so much that he got immense
ly rich and thus set them a shining ex-
ample, besides offering them generous
handouts?
Without poverty, no charity, and
the three graces would become a
duet. Hine lilac lachrymae.-New

SHOWS BENEFITS OF YAWNING
Throat-Strenathens Respira-
tory Muscles.

DR.. Emil Bunzl Of Vienna. in speak
ing of diseases of The throat and rem
edies. said that %yawning had its great
value. Yawning has recently been
recommended independently as a val.
liable exercise for the respiratory or
gans.
According to nr. Naegli, of the Uni
versity of Luettich," said DR.. Bunzl.
"yawning brings all the respiratory
muscles of the chest and throat into
action and is, therefore, the best aud
most natural means of Strengthening
them. He advises everybody to yawn
as deeply as possible, with arms out
stretched, in order to change com
pletely the air in the lungs and stimu-
late respiration. In many cases be
has found the practise to relieve the
difficulty in swallowing and disturb
ance of the sense of hearing that ae-
company catarrh of the throat. The
patient Is induced to yawn through
suggestion, imitation of a preliminary
exercise in deep breathing.
Each treatment consists of from
six to eight yawns, each followed by
the operation of swallowing. It
should be added, however, that It is
quite possible for deep breathing to
be oyerdone, particularly by persons
with weak hearts and 1t is at least
open to question whether the OBJ
stacles to free respiration. which the
yawning cure is alleged to remove,
are not useful in preventing the en-
trance of germs and other foreign
bodies"

Chester possesses plausible claims

THE FARM PROBLEM.

One of the serious faults of farmers
and country people generally is to
ape the habits, customs, and life Of
the city. The result is disastrous to
the country and of no possible ad-
vantage to the city. The farmer of
today borrows a large per cent of his
pleasures, his ideals, his methods,
his morals, from the city. Naturally
his tastes develop along lines that
are entirely out Of sympathy with his
actual surroundings. Is it any won
der then, if country boys and girls
grow restless, dissatisfied and hurry
