THE FARMERS ELEVATOR.
TRurIineton Hawkeye1.

At Industry some fifty farmers got
together and organized a farmers CO.
operative grain company. The idea of
cooperation has long had strong
fascination for the farmers Of Iowa.
And where the right man is found, to
whom the mana cement of the associa- :
ton can be entrusted, such enterprises
are always reasonably successful.
Where the right man is not found the
enterprise soon goes to the wall. 1t is
claimed that but a small percentage
of business men succeed. Perhaps the
failure of the cooperative enterprises
are not more numerous than those in
other business undertakings, but they
make a deeper impression upon the
representative community. Where a
business man fails, he smiles il he can,
and gets busy at something else.
Where a cooperative concern falls to
make good, there is grumb bling and
soreness in whole community for
years upon years.

forming narcotics. None Of them are
cures.
The man who deliberately builds up
on the fear of death and the desire to
live in order to cozen dollars away
from the dying and divert the durable
from the paths to health by holding out
false hope deserves to be in peniten-
tiary Let none afflicted with tuber-
culosis be fooled by them and their
ghoulish graft. There is no cure for
consumption save right living and the
open air. Medicines may assist the
cure but they should be prescribed by
competent physician. Shun the
quacks unless you covet a coffin.

AXE FRIENDS WITH STRANGER
ITraer Star Clipperl.

A good many of our readers VIII be
among strangers in the near future.
Some will change their place of resi-
dence, a considerable number will go
to college, seminary, or the city high
school In either case it means a re-
adjustment of ones self to fit into the
new environment. New friends will be
made in the natural order of things,
and it is just this we want to talk
about just now. IF you want to have
friends, show yourself friendly" is an
old adage which will never lose its
force. A man of our acquaintance
complained bitterly that somehow he
found himself not counted in in any
circle. Might have been hermit just
as we'll Tantalus found an ocean Of
water all around him but not a drop to
drink. So this man saw friends all
around him but not friend for him.
We soon discovered the reason for his
isolation. If he attended public gath
ering, at the close he made a bee line
for the door with his eyes studying the
floor till he got out Now few are dis
posed to butt in on man who seems to
want to keep to himself. If he went to
a social gathering he kept out OF ev-
erybody's way was as mum as pro-
the proverbial oysters, and OF course
everybody respected his reserve. We
have known women who were just as
bad, and it Is a bad habit. If you want
friends give them chance to greet you
without forcing their attentions On you.
Don't wear the funeral look Of one
mourning for friends left behind. Rath-
er let the joyous anticipation of new
friendship shine out of your eyes and
illumine the countenance. Make all the
friends you can along the clean OF

other kind. This brings us to another
important suggestion. Have few init
mates. that is, those to whom you tell
things you would not care to have re-
peated. things sacred to yourself. Be
come thus intimate only with such as
you find to be worthy of implicit con-
fldence, whom you find can be safe
ly trusted to keep your condolences alb
solutely to themselves. Among the
assets Of life friends take first place, II

worthy kind they are a perpetual
blight. Nothing is more true than that
one is judged by the company he
keeps Show yourself friendly, but be
careful as to your associations.

1HE PRESIDENTS NEW LIGHT.

It is announced per correspondence

that Interference from the White

that the presidential office is big JOB

President Taft is right about II. The
platforms of republican states are 10

jority sentiment of the republican
voters OF the state as represented by
their delegates. it is the only way
whereby the voters of the state can
express themselves as 10 their con-
victions; and there is plenty in
the executive office 10 keep one good
man busy He is right also in assum-
ing that Interference would not make
for a more harmonious situation.
The president seems to be hndlns out
a few things for himself. One OF these
appears 70 be that repudiated Dolll-

CORN FARMERS AND RAILROADS.

[Sioux City Tribunel.
When the railroads raise grain rates
to Chicago they hurt the farmers more
than they help themselves.
The railroads are helped by the adj
vanced rates to the amount of the In
creased revenue of the grain shipped.
but the farmers are hurt in the lower
ing of the value of the whole crop,
whether shipped or not.
If the Iowa and Nebraska corn rails
ers, for example, producing 500,00O,0o0
bushels annually, sell half Of 1t to the
Chicago market, the railroads. by ad-
vancing their ate of l cent a bushel,
add s2,5O0,0OO to their revenue. But the
farmers of the two states lose 100000
on corn by the l cent bushel advance
in rates. for raising the freight rates
farm whether it is shipped or not The
price of the corn on the farm is fixed
by the price in Chicago.
But the farmers lose still more than
that. They lose in the productive value
of their land. The price of the land
depends on what 1t will produce. not
in corn, but in money II the corn
product. by reason Of advanced freight
rates, is lowered 1 cent bushel, or 40
cents an acre annually, that means
proportionate reduction in the money
value of the land.
The whole freight rate question, so
far as the farmers are concerned, Is in
the last analysis, a contest between the
value of farm and railroad property.
The farm is producing the corn. The
railroad is removing it to market. IT
the railroad gets more for the carrying
service than it ought to get, the rail-
road property is worth that much more
in the market than 1t ought to be, and
the farm that much less than it ought
to be.
Farms are valued nowadays by their
distance from the market, and the dis
lance Is easured not in miles, but by
the freight charges.

THE PERENNIAL THIRST.
rDubuuue Ttmes].

DubuQue's brewers, wholesale liquor
dealers and soft drink manufacturers
have been desperately busy trying to
fill orders during the hot spell. A giant
automobile piled high with beer kegs
has been a familiar object on the
streets and about the only teams on the
trot with the thermometer showing
ninety degrees in the shade. have been
the sturdy ones ottached to the beer
wagons. We have had no outward and
visible sign that the demand for alco-
holic drinks falls off in extremely hot
weather. On the contrary some Of the
saloonkeepers have extended their bars
to accomm odate the increasing traffic.
Dubuque had 210 saloons in the days
Of prohibition and the number has
since been reduced to 103 or 104, where
it has stood the last year or two. The
decline is due to the increased license,
$500 year instead of $15 to $l00. Inc
saloons now close On Sundays and all
other legal holidays and at 10000 p. M
on secular days and the screens, tables
and lunch counters have been removed
Still there is no evidence that the retail
liquor traffic has declined. Most OF
the saloonkeepers who served 1t were
glad to get rid of the lunch and stand
ing up at the bar instead of lettering

Immediately And those who must have

to find it, If he has the price or sym
pathetic friend nobody need stay sober
against his will. The new regulations
have done no harm but they have ac-
complished nothing perceptible towards
making Dubuque temperate commun-
ity. Temperance seems to be as much
as ever dependent on the individual
who has never acquired an appetite for
drink, or who practices self restraint.
