Albert was not leading an army,
even of tramps. He was not at
tempting to lead anybody out of
the wilderness. He was not a can
sdidate for the presidency. Albert
was engaged in something far more
important than all that, as all
must admit when informed that he
was trundling a wheelbarrow, with
which he is to visit every capital
city in the United States within
three years. during which time he is
not to beg, borrow OF ride except
across streams where ferries are
maintained.
If Albert is successful he will
have established the important fact
that the United States is surely nav
igable for wheelbarrows; or, to say
the least, that a man with wheel
barrow can reach all the capitals in
the United States without any CAPT.
tai of his own, for Alberts entire
income during his three years val
uableswork must be derived from
the sale of a postcard of his wheel
barrow and himself, and we name
the wheelbarrow first as the most
important.

MISSOURI WATERWAY COMMITS
SION GAYS PEOPLE OVER.
LOOK ASSET.
EUROPE UTILITIES WASTE
Germany and France Look to Garbage
Of CItIes as Sole Source Of Fertlllz-
Ing Raw MaterlaIs--What Might
Be Done in This Country.

American Waste" is such a COM
mon subject in these days of economy
and conservative agitation that it re-
quires leak of more than ordinary
size to attract the attention of the
average American citizen. However,
the Missouri Waterway Commission
in the report about to be submitted
to the Legislature is calling attention
to a gross waste on the part of the
citizens of this state-a waste Of
resource whicn is very little thought
of, and about which less is known.
Under the subject of drainage and
water supply, the commission has in
vestigated the problem of sewage and
garbage disposal In foreign cities
The garbage is an important munich
pal asset which is carefully watched
over by the city government, and
each year bids are received by the
city for the city's garbage and to
the highest bidder is sold the entire
right of garbage collection and dis
posal. The purchaser collects (under
bond for failure to do so thoroughly
and pays according to the amount col
lected.
The statistics gathered during the
recent five years at Berlin, Hamburg
and Bremen, and other large cities OF
Germany, show that the garbage nets
these municipalities $500 per head
for all cities of one hundred thou
sand population or more. The amount
of garbage is greater per head for
smaller cities, but reductions plants can
not be operated at a very handsome
profit on a small scale.
In America the amount of garbage
may be said safely to be twice as
large per capita as that of European
cities. 1t is an old proverb that two
European families can live we'll on
what is wasted by one American fam
lily, hence the value of garbage in
the larger cities of this country should
be far greater per capita than in Eu-
ropean cities. The demand for fer
tilizer (Which is the chief product
from the reduction of garbage) is not
so great in this country as in Europe,
but the Waterway Commission has
taken this into consideration, and has
estimated that the net value of gar
bage to the cities of this state should
be no less than $3.50 per capAa.
There are three cities in the state
OF over one hundred thousand popula-
ton and four cities over twenty thou
sand. These cities aggregate in pop
ulation nearly one million souls, and
the commission estimates that their
wastefulness could be turned into an
annual revenue of approximately 49,
100000, provided the wastefulness
were checked at the garbage stage
and not carried to point beyond
which recovery is impossible.

not usurped under him by the

Champ Clark is not an active
candidate for president but should
the honor of the nomination be
conferred on him he will not de-
cline it. He is a strong man all
over the United States. His record
is clean and for years he has been
a Democratic leader and now as
Speaker of the House he is the CEN
trail figure of the fight for an hon
est tariff reduction in the interest
Of the people and is fully qualified
for the position of President In
him the people have always had an
official who was to be found at all
times in the midst of the fight for
the rights of man and against any
encroachment of the trusts and
monopolies on any rights of the
people. Were Champ Clark Presi-
dent the rich and the poor would
always find his work to be for
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. Champ Clark
as nominee for the Presidency will
win votes in all parts of our great
country and will be elected. When
Champ Clark is President and an
investigation of any great trust or
monopoly is made the people can
rest assured that white wash will
not be used to cover the dark spots
but the investigated will be thor
ough and the criminals, if crimi-
nails there be, will be punished
Honesty will be the rule.

FOR ODD MOMENTS.

One Of The greatest difficulties Of
life is the utilization of odd moments
of time. In woman's varied occu-
pations, especially household mat
tiers, writing, needlework and out
door pursuits, there are quite a num-
Der Of tasks upon which it is quite
useless to embark, except with an
uninterrupted period Of two or three
hours before one others which might
be taken up and laid down again
without difficulty are perhaps too
large and untidy to bring out for a
few minutes, and the little dainty
bits Of work that might conveniently
be done at such times are not suf-
fciently prepared. 1t requires a
great deal of forethought and faculty
Of organization to have something
provided FOR all occasions.

is not only capable Of managing her
native servants very cleverly, but she
is able TO cook well, make jam and
pickles, look after poultry, attend to
the garden and make her own dresses
and those of her children.
The social life in all South Afri-
can towns is a strong feature, dane
ing is a favorite amusement and hol-
iday picnics on river banks are gen.
era!. Women play tennis, croquet
and golf and do a good deal of cy-
cling. Life in South Africa ranges
from old-established culture and lux
ury, with every surrounding conven-
fence and taste, to the loneliness of
the veldt farm, and to this life and
her husbands interests the English
born girl soon adapts herself if she
is at all adaptable. She can be
healthy, happy and free and usually
fairly prosperous, with more money
to spend than she would have in a
similar position at home.-Empire
