This big family, with its heritage of
Dutch thrift and love of independence,
has decided to reduce the cost of liv-
ing for its members by organizing a
cooperative buying agency to get
everything it consumes at wholesale
prices. Says Cornelius j. Ton:
1--WE are simply meeting an econo-
mic evolution of the times AS the
largest family in Illinois we should
take the lead in an effort to band
families together against cold-blooded
corporations that exploit the consumer
unfairly" He goes on to say that
"the butcher who sells the Ton fam
lily meat will be selling a beef, calf
several pigs and sheep a day, and can
afford to give us bottom prices"
All right-for the Tons. How about
the rest of us who do not belong to
that numerous family so singu1arly
gifted with horse sense? Can't we
cooperate, too? S.
Yes, and we shall-when we've suf-
fered enough. Men go forward through
suffering, and we may yet bless high
cost of living as thing Of light and
leading that has shown us the way
to "purer manners, better laws, *
The extent of cooperation among
men is the measure of their civiliza-'
ton. We are destined to cooperate
more and more for the com mon good,
and so get more cfvilized.-Cleveland

Willard F. Kelly.

M1llarQ r. nelly.
Willard F. Kelly. a pioneer Of the
northwest, was killed by Northern
Pacific train, about a mile north OF
this city, sometime Thursday night
or Friday morning. The body. which
had been severed above the hips by
the train, was discovered about Z
clock Friday morning by workmen
on their way to Selah. It was frozen.
Mr.. Kelly was for over quarter
of a century a resident Of Tacoma
where he was a photographer. Some
time ago he purchased a tract OF
land at Sunnyside, which he sold a
short time ago and at the time of
his death was planning trip to
Twin Falls, Idaho, to purchase land
there. He had been in this city a
few days and was in ill health. c.
D. Hessey of this city had known Mr..
Kelly for a great many years, ever
since the childhood of the North
Yakima man, and had been in close
touch with him here. In fact he had
taken him to DR.. Helton but day
or two ago to be examined as to his
physical condition.
According to Mr.. Hessey the man
was strickly temperance in belief and
practice and possessed Of excellent
friends. Several years ago he went
to Alaska and remained there for
four years, going to Black Diamond
on his return and living there FOR a
year or so as photographer. The
only surviving member of his family
is a son, Claude, now in Fairbanks,
Alaska.

Has it ever occurred to you as a
shrewd man that there is money in
cats? Just plain, every day cats, with
no pride of ancestry or hope of fu-
ture distinction? There is; dead
coolies of it, and if you wish to be-

then go to it.
We propose to establish somewhere
along one of Snake Rivers source of
water supply, mammoth cat ranch,
with a capital stock of $11,000,000
divided into shares of par value of
81 each. We will begin to do a BUSH
ness that will make the fur fly, start

900 cats. The original promoter Of
our scheme was the author of the
shorter catechism, and as a result Of
overwork on that popular literary
production he has been afflicted for
This has really been an advantage to
him, because as result of cats in
that region he had never suffered
from rats in his attic.

these figures and if they do not show

ten cents each for pure white to sew

In order to feed these cats we pro-

with the dairy industry, promises to
assure the future Of this region.

One interesting thing in connec-

fact that while $4,000, approx

between labor, produce and cans, all
three amounts being about $4,000.

HOW WREsTlERsl TRAIN
Russian Lion" Discourses Enter
tainingly-Tells How Mus
cles Are Developed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE methods
of training pursued by George Hack
enschmidt should not only prove in
teresting to wrestling fans in general,
but many wrestlers who have, per-
haps been following the wrong meth
DDS of training %~@fs
Hack bases his exercise on ra-
tional foundation, Which means on
the muscular makeup of a human be-
ing. 1t is well to keep in mind that
the big fellow IS about the only sue
cessful wrestler in the world who has
also INDUCED extensively In heavy
weight lifting. Any man lacking the
marvellous physical makeup of the
Russian lion could not mix the rails
ing of weights with graphing.
Hack explains the meaning of the
term muscle-bound more clearly than
anybody else in the business AS he
shows no man is ever muscle bound
in the literal sense Of the word. This
is condition where certain muscles
are developed and certain other mus
cles are not developed.
During his training in Chicago with
Adolph Ernst, Hack explained to
Adolph where certain methods were
wrong and where others were right.
Ernst had taken hold of the handles
of one of the weight machines in the
gymnasium, with his back toward the
machine and his arms extended He
started working the weights very rap
idly, but Hackenschmidt stopped him
and said: Every time you jerk the
weights your arm and shoulder mus
Giles become tense. These are the
heavyweight muscles and are, Of
course, developed through this rapid
exercise. Your object, undoubtedly,
was to develop speed, but you will find
that the results are exactly opposite to
what you intended they should be-
Keep your arms as loose as possible,
work the weights slowly and easily,
swinging your arms forward and back
ward in full, long sweep. The mus
cles you develop are the long ones, orl
the muscles you need in wrestling,
and the development is even through

the use Of dumbells, Indian clubs or |
any other apparatus for physical de-
velopment.

get behind him, the other fellow Is
generally in worse fix than he would
be If he kept close to the mat himself.
Has Great Strength.
In addition to the Russian lions
great speed is his enormous strength.
It may also be very interesting to note
that the facts herein set forth about
the big foreigner also apply as to de-
tails to Frank Gotch. However
Gotch's build is different from that Of
Hackenschmidt, and consequently
Gotch's method of attack and defense
are also different. But the same gem

each man what he is, and the big
gate money that is getting away from
them would do well to keep these
cardinal points in view.

Local Birds Good as Best.

statement of the situation existing in
the legislature. no one who UNDER
stands the conditions will deny. Nor
will anyone deny that he has taken
the stand that he believes Is correct.
