Cutting 4 {1o,ooo, 900 sneIon''


We commend to our readers the
following article taken from the
Portland Oregonian.
"The directors Of big Chicago
mail-order house have decided to
divide $4,000, 900 melon among
the stockholders. Presumably to
cover up the enormous profits as
well as they can, they have also rec
commended stock dividend of 33
1-3 per cent on the common stock
amounting to $3O,000,000.
"Such great dividends, even when
distributed by big railroad systems
embracing thousands miles of tracts
and employing thousands of men
and Indirectly affecting the welfare
of hundreds of thousands; even mill
ions of people, never fail to bring
forth unfavorable comment from the
very class on which the Eastern
mail order business levies it's great
est toll.
SIN producing the $10,CO0,000
"melon' which he mail-order mill
ionaires are about to cut, Oregon,
Washington and Idaho contributed
heavily, along with every other state
in the Union. and the contributors
incidentally received no benefits,
financial or otherwise, from the
transaction. There are so many
reasons why a consumer living thou
sands of miles away from Eastern
mail-order houses should not send
his money to them that it is an eco
nomic mystery how they annually
wheedle so many millions out of
victims scattered from one end Of
the country to the other.
ITO begin with, quality and
quantity considered, EVERY order sent
out of the Pacific Northwest to the
Eastern mail-order houses could be
duplicated here at a saving Of from
10 per cent to Is per cent for the
buyer. In specific cases, which have
been reported in the Palouse and in
the Big Bend country, the loss to
the mail-order patron has run as
high as $40 on 500 order. In
such circumstances, it is easy to
understand how $4,000, 900 divid-
ends can be rolled up in short order.
Aside from this actual loss in first
cost to the mail-ol der patron, there
is heavy indirect loss.
"The Eastern mail-order house
pays no taxes in the west, it employees
no labor and loads down the mail
carriers on the rural routes with
tons Of alluring, but misleading,
literature.
''The local merchant is a permanent
business fixture on whom even
mail-order patrons are dependent
at times. The extent of his stock
and its Importance depends on the
support that he receives. It is not
at all complimentary to the intelli-
gence of a large number of people,
that by clever advertising Eastern
mail-order houses can sell poor goods
in large quantities at higher prices
than Pacific coast merchants can Sc
cure in small quantities. The west,
which made liberal contributions to
that $40, 100000 melon, will not
share in the benifits, but numerous
local merchants will probably enjoy
the blessed privilege of extending
credit to many of the contributors
who paid cash for their share of the
$40 ZOO, OOO."

Alfalfa for Chicks

Nothing seems to make the young
chicks grow like run in the alfalfa
field. AS soon as they are large
enough to do without heat they are
put into colony houses inc the alfalfa,
and the way they grow is astonishing,
We put large hopper for several
houses, give them what wheat they
will eat, and leave them entirely
alone. Morning and night is about
the only time the chicks crowd
around the grain; during the day
they are out through the alfalfa.

promptings of our actions, both.
good and evil, originate and are
sent forth. They must of neces-
sity elmanate from the same source,
which being the case, they cannot
be separated as two distinct parts
of our makeup, but are either or
both the. good and evil dictates Of
conscience, or good and evil temp
tations. In either case they would
amount to nothing more than in
stinct we're they. not governed by
that which makes man supreme on
earth-his will-power and his judg-
meIft.
The promptings of the con-
science; call them either dictates,
impulses or temptations, are either
good or bad. There are no in
termediate graduations. But mans
ability to judge between the good
and the evil, and his will-poWer to
back up his judgments, serve to
refine or rather tone, either down
or up, the promptings or tempta-
tions which issue from his con-
science.
1t would therefore seem that II
we wish to live our lives without
troubles, sorrows, and consequent
ly regrets, we should not blindly
follow the promptings, impulses
or dictates of our conscience, but
rather rely on our Judgment to de-
termine between the right and the
wrong, and our will-power to back
up our judgment.

IT has often been said that if one
lives up to the dictates of ones
conscience, that one will have moth
ing to regret in after life. But is
this trueg May not ones con-
science dictate evil as well as good?
and evil impulses, actions and
thoughts always leave regrets.
When a person commits crime or
otherwise does wrong, he is said to
have yielded to temptation; but
might not it be said with better
truth that he has followed the evil
dictates of his conscience9
There is nothing in the makeup
of man, or in fact of anything in
the material world, that is abso-
lutely and perfectly good. Every
thing, not divine, is more or less
adulterated with baser things, land
conscience can hardly be termed
divine, though we are prone to
hold it in that light.
It would also be unreasonable to
say that there are two separate
stations, as it were, wherein the

WHEN herd of cattle broke
away from the Colorado State Re
formatory farm the Warden de-
puted two prisoners serving long
terms to round up the animals.
The men were provided with
horses and with food and rode
away unguarded. At the end of
ten days they returned with the
cattle and went back into confne-
ment.
The incident, by its illustration
of professional pride rising supe-
rior to the instinct of escape,
throws an agreeable light on hui
man nature. In more serious
way it shows the efficacy of the en-
lightened modern penal policy of
extending the liberty of con-
victs more and more under condi-
tons of trust. One example does
not prove the case, but generally
where prisoners are allowed to
leave their cells and are put upon
their honor to return, the privilege
is rarely abused.
This was the good feature of the
Montpelier (Vt.) experiment under

which prisoners were permitted to
doff their convict garb and were
set at work outside the prison
walls with only the restriction that
they should return at night. The
plan removes the prisoner from
degrading associations, gives him
an incentive to good conduct, since
he gets his wages after paying the
State for his board, and contri-
butes to his eventual reclamation.

asked was that they take taste and

LAST Duuudy, Aug. ICUl, was
the thirteenth anniversary of the
famous battle of Manila, in which
the Thirteenth Minnesota Volun-
teers played such a prominent part.
At the time the battle was fought
this great country of ours was
/ in the throes Of its war with
Spain, and when the news of the
army's great victory and the gal
liant part played therein, by the
Thirteenth, reached the Gag er
thousands in this and other states,
one grand, mighty and prolonged
applause assembled on high, nor has
it to this day fully subsidized.
The names of the brave soldier
boys who risked their all in their
country's service that day, will 60
down through history side by side
with those of Picket's men, and
the heros of Balaklava. They rich
ly deserved the honor and applause
showered upon them by the graz
cious American people, and even
at this late day, too much can not
be said in their praise. Those men
were true Americans, patriotic to
the core, brave, and above all,
modest in the description of their
mighty exploits. No disgusting
controversies, such as arose be-
tween so many regiments, after
the war was over, as to who was
the first to enter this or that town
or fort, came from the ranks, to
mar their memory. They knew
what they had done, but like all
brave men, they only considered
that they did their duty, and no
amount Of praise suffced to turn
their heads.
The Thirteenth Minnesota were
among the first to answer Presi-
dent McKinley's call to arms, and
among the first of the companies
to offer their services in this regi-
ment was company X of Saltwater.
These men left good positions,
| friends, wives and sweethearts be-
hind them and hurried off to the war
to give their assistance in defense
of Old Glory. They knew that
the chances were against their ever
seeing their friends and homes
again, but this did not deter them
in the least, and they marched
cheerfully away to the hardships
of war and a possible grave, in for
eign soil, many thousands Of miles
from home. But Providence dealt
kindly with. them and after the war
was over they returned, covered
with glory and an honor to the
people of the city who sent them
| forth.
After being mustered out they
returned home and took up then
work where they dropped it many
months before and settled back in
to the peaceful pursuits Of civil life,

leo Cream From Sour Milk.

Some half dozen years ago there
was young, college-educated Dane
living in Souix City, Iowa, who had
a mania for experimenting with sour
milk drinks. While in college he
became acquainted with the famous
theory of Metchnikoff that the pro-
longation of life depends largely on
the introduction into the system Of
plenty of the bacilli found in sour
milk.
Pampered on sweets, however,
the American has prejudice against
the sweets which have spoiled" and
SO hurries pellmell into a grave
which might have been barricaded
behind sour milk can.
This young, inventive Dane was
not slow in discovering another ma
tional tendency. The American will
partake of things with relish if he
does not know for sure what they
are. SO he set about to doctor up
his sour milk drinks with fruit juices
and f1avoring extracts, working all
the time toward beverage which
should contain the healthful bacteria
without the to the American I'm
palatable flavor.
1t was not long until the little
workshop of the Dane was the Nee
ca of men who knew a good thing
when they tasted it. Railroad and
travelling men had habit of looking
forward to spending Sunday in Sioux
City and dropping to see the Dane,
and incidentally, to quaff some of his
beverages. They never associated
their better health with the drinks,
but were content to tickle their pal
ates with various and sundry colored
and favored concoctions, the like of
which no man, not foreign born, had
ever tasted.
That was the genesis of lacto, the
new frozen dairy product which has
recently come upon the market and
which is nothing more or less than
ice cream made from sour milk.
Doesn't sound a bit good, does it?
Well, that is what several score col
lege professors, college students and
ordinary garden variety human be-
ings in and around Ames said few
months ago. And so Prof. M. Nor
Jensen. the young Dane Of the Souix
City experiments, now head Of the
dairy department of Iowa State Ag-
ricultural College, set about to show
them how little they really knew
about this particular subject. He
set his dairy students to making lacto
and he sent it about the campus and

To call the glores Of the day to birth!
The withdraws awhile his blessed light,
To shine again-t is not always night!

And tempests sweep the earth with angry wing;
But the fierce winds in gentle murmurngs die. ii

The after-calm is sweeter and more bright
Though storms arise it is not always night
The night of Nature, and the night of Storm
Are emblems both of shadows on the heart;
Which fall and chill it's currents quick and warm,
And bid the light of peace and joy depart:
A thousand shapes hath sorrow to alright
The soul of man, and shroud his hopes in night.
Yet when the darkest. saddest hour is come,
And grim Despair would seize his shrinking heart,
The dawn of Hope breaks on the heavy gloom,
And one by the shadows will depart:
