tract, combination in the form of trust or other
WISE or conspiracy in restraint of trade Is ie-

in 1896, the Supreme Court said: The plain
and ordinary meaning OF such language Is not
limited to that kind of contract which is In un-
reasonable restraint of trade: but all contracts
are included and exception limitation can
be added without placing in the act that which

According to The Richmond Nirginian the
Interstate Commerce Commission estimates, af-
ter investigation, that 100000 gallons of in
toxieatfng liquors shipped yearly into pro-
hibition territory. chiefly in the South. These
ngures. says The Nirginian, are Startling" The
territory in which this booze is shipped Is I'M
DER local option or prohibition. The people in
these States have declared by a majority vote
that they do not want liquor made or sold in
their territory. This they had a right to de-
clare and enforce, but their will and wish is
no good, If outside distilleries and dealers are
allowed to ship liquors into the dry territory,
where is the gain? What is the good of local
option or even prohibition? There is this gain,
viz, the absence of the local open saloon With
its attendant evils. shame and danger. We

land in the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
reservations are offered as prizes to

berlain and Rapid City are the regis
tration points. On Oct. "a the drawing
will commence at Gregory.
The price of every 100 acre tract has
already been fixed by government APP
praisers and the homesteader will pay
the price so fixed regardless of wheth-
er he files first or last. And SO wheth-
err the homesteader files upon some Of
the best land or some of the poorest
he will be certain that he will be re-
quired to pay only what the land is
worth and will not run the risk of
making an error in judgment on the
misrepresentation Of a locator and
paying a high price for poor land.
The prices fixed by the appraisers are
from % cents al acre for the toughest
grazing land to Sc an acre for the
finest level agricultural land. OF the
total Of about 100000 acres subject to
homestead entry about one-third has
been classified as agricultural land at
from 81 to Sc an acre.
Briefly the method Of securing a
homestead under this opening will be
as follows:
The applicant will personally appear
at a registration point and will swear
before a notary public on duty at the
notarial headquarters to his %qualifca-
lions to take a homestead. IT the ap-
plication is made at any registration
point other than Gregory the applicant
must mail his affidavit to Judge Wit
ten at Gregory.
When Judge Witten receives one of
these envelopes he will examine it
carefully. and if there are no distin-
gushing marks upon it to indicate
from whom it came, it will be deposit
ed with others in a large metal can.
The registration will end Oct. 21.
On Oct. "a all Of the metal cans will
be opened and their contents dumped
on a large public platform in Gregory.
Some child will be selected to go upon
the platform and pick up an envelope.
1t will be opened by Judge Witten.
and the application therein contained
will be numbered "One." The person
who filed it will have the privilege of
making the first selection from all the
lands subject to entry and may choose
for his homestead the finest level
farming land at Sc an acre or the
toughest grazing land at % cents an
acre.
The second envelope selected from
those on the platform will be number
ed 1.-Two" etc. After the drawing
those who receive numbers will have
ample time in which to inspect the
lands and select the tracts upon which
they wish to file.

veaIed by Texas Maneuvers.
One Of the most important lessons
learned during the recent army maneu-
vers in Texas was the necessity of
keeping all troop. battery and COM
pany organization at all times at full
war strength. To correct existing de-
fects in that respect the war depart
ment has issued an order r%earranSing
the strength of the army.
The feature of the order is the addi-
ton Of seventy men to each cavalry
and seventy-two to each infantry regi-
ment serving outside Of the United
States or in Hawaii. There are some
slight changes in the strength Of the
field and coast artillery. and provision
is made for permanent assignment for
headquarters duty. The additional
men are found by reducing by 1000
the 5000 now engaged in recruiting.
The order fixes the strength of the
army at 1883 men. but this includes
large d~etachments Of scouts, prison
guards. signal corps men and others
engaged in nonline duty. so that the
normal strength Of the actual fight
ing force is reduced to 66.698, which
includes all the troops serving outside
Of the United States.

up in the race all season. Dooin's
work behind the bat was splendid
until he broke his leg, and the Phillies
were red hot favorites for the flag
during part of the season. Archer of
the Cubs is the most sensational catch
er-the most dangerous thrower and
a power behind the bat.
Now we come to a manager Of the
outfit and select Frank Chance. the
leader of the Chicago Cubs. who has
proved himself to be the greatest han
dler of ball tossers that ever lived.
Summarizing up the club one finds
that there would be six remarkable

Collins. with Doom and Bresnahan

would be ten 300 hitters and every
one of the twirlers a handy man with

could get the individual stars to work
together. imagine the superb support
that would be given to the pitcher!
OF course 1t Is impossible to pur-
chase all the players mentioned, but

cinch that 1t would cost a good sized
fortune TO secure them all.

AS ICEBERG TO !clcLE
Is the Cost Of Mail Order Business to
That of the Johher.

Is the Cost of Mail Order Business TO
That of the Jobber.
An active experience for several
years as a country merchant is back
Of the assertion that any such mer
chant who is reasonably close to his
supply house and who has dollars
and sense enough to discount his bills
can sell merchandise Of equal quality
as cheaply as any mail order house Cd
earth, says Roy N. Adams in the Chi
cago Tribune.
Many mail order houses sell stand
ard articles at Gu prices as leaders"
No law yet exists preventing the coun-
try merchant from doing exactly the
same thing. if he chooses. in manner
and quantity consistent with his vol
ume of business.
Every item Of manufactured mer-
chandise has it's own intrinsic value.
Such value is made up Of cost Of ma
terial and cost of labor to produce.
Labor costs vary but little In the
United States in factories making
lines similar, and the variation will
grow to be less in the future as the
unions widen their control. Produc-
ton capacity also varies but slightly
since conditions now imperatively de-
mand the most modern methods and
machinery in all factories If it is ex-
pected to compete successfully with
others in the same lines.
Often we hear the argument that
the mail order houses buy in large
quantities" and thus make a saving.
This is a boomerang and comes home
to the user when it is pointed out that
such houses are made up of depart
ments and there are houses in almost
every city that specialize on the items
handled in such departments" and
buy in larger quantities than the mail
order houses.
Again. we have the argument that
no travelling statesmen are employed by
the mail order houses. True, but the
expense of their catalogues, advertis-
ing special printed offers and postage
will run into millions of dollars an
nually.
The jobbers and retailers, of course.
have their expenses. but their percent
age of cost of doing business, as COM
pared with the same cost Of the mail

a LTHOUGH the curtain has been
IA rung on the 1911 baseball sea-
4 son, the dyed in the wool fans
will for some time to come be
busily engaged in discussing the past
performances of their ~favorites and
selecting what would be the greatest
teams that ever appeared on the dia-
mond. Picking a team of all stars has
become quite a fad with the fans dur
ing the last few years, and. although
the men could not possibly be brought
together on one team, it is interesting
to the enthusiasts of our national
game. Speaking about all star teams,
here is one that looks like the best
yet discovered. We venture to say
that this team placed against any sin
gle team of former stars as far as you
want to go back would make them
bite the dust:
Pitchers-Mathewson, Johnson, Alex
Pnder. Walsh, Rucker and Bender. .
Catchers - Bresnahan, Doom and
Archer.
First base-Lajoie.
Second baSe-Collins.
Shortstop-Wagner.
Third base-Harry Lord.
Outfelders Clarke. Jackson and
Cobb.
Manager-Frank Chance.
Having got this out of q system,
we now await criticism. Looking at
it from all angles-viewed from an
impartial side-it is really hard to see
how this squad could be improved on.
It would not be quite fair to make a
selection-then run away without any
explanations. So here are the reasons
in a nutshell-why each man was
given this distinction.
Mathewson has been the mainstay
of the Giants for eleven years, and
although he is not as good today as he
was a few years ago, he is still one Of
the greatest pitchers in the game.
Take johnson. the Washingtons' great
pitcher-what a record he would make
with a team like the above behind him.

MENACE TO PUBLIC

The garbage receptacle may
easily become a nuisance and a
menace to public health. De-
composition of garbage occurs
rapidly. and the odor becomes
obnoxious, but perhaps the at
traction garbage has for flies is
the most serious objection. Flies
like garbage, and they go from
the garbage can into the Kitchen
and dining room. If the garbage
can is kept tightly covered It is
not a nuisance. Every house.
holder can provide himself with
a covered garbage receptacle.
