TALK AND TAKERS.

To talk entertainingly does not
necessarily mean to talk great deal
or to monoplize the conversation.
Some women talk nearly all the
time and bore every one who listens
to them with their inane chatter.
No; the art of conversation is a
sort of game of give and take. You
make a remark about something
which amuses or interests you, and
this Immediately suggests something
else to those gathered round. But if
one person insists in selfshly monop-
Olizing the talk all spontaneously goes
at once, and the listeners are fatigued
and bored instead of being amused
and interested.

FOOD FAD ALWAYS WITH Us


A man who has won considerable
! publicity as a faddist in food theo-
ries was taken to a Chicago hospital
the other day in serious condition
as a result Of his method Of living.
The man had announced that 26
cents a week was enough for a per-
son to spend on food. He set-out to
prove it by subsisting on limited ra-
tions of oatmeal crackers. The doc
tors now declare that he brought
himself to the verge Of death from
starvation by this mode of living.
Other faddists in the east recent
ly claimed fasting a cure for all
sorts Of diseases. They would substi-
tute fasting for the surgeons knife
and the operating table. Usually
the faddist proved to be a man with
a temperament" He also knew the
art Of the press agent. At the close
Of lengthy interview to the news
papers on how cancer or some equal
" malignant disease could be cured
by fasting, the man advertised new
novel or play which he was just fin
ishing.
Once these faddists got into the
newspapers and ADVERTISED them
selves thoroughly they suddenly
dropped out Of the public eye.
Among the nearest friends it was
known that they had returned to the
old,fashioned idea Of three square
meals a day.

INDIANS NOT "FADINc OUT"

The notion that the Indian race
is fading OUT is not supported by
the facts. There are now, according
to the last reports, 100000 Indians
in the country with 10000 in special
and reservation schools supported by
the government at an annual cost of
100000. Curiously enough, the
Indians of the United States have
shared disproportionately with the
whites in the "unearned increment, .
being richer upon an average or per
capita basis than the white race. This
is due to the growth in value Of res.
ervation lands.

COOPERATIVE CREDIT Plan
Line May Be Adopted in Wiscon-
sin for Farmers Benefit.

Madison.--Easier methods for the
borrowing Of money by farmers of
Wisconsin may be open to them
should the next legislature adopt a
cooperative credit plan, a bill for
which is now being drawn. The
state board of public affairs is back
of the project.
The subject has been exhaustively
investigated by the public affairs
board, SO that bills will be in shape
for Immediate consideration. At the
recent conference of governors at
Richmond, Va, the subject was one
of the important topics on the pro-
gram, and upon invitation of Presi-
dent Taft the governors visited
Washington to talk over with him the
plan for cooperative credit for ru-
raj communities
The idea back of the Wisconsin
plan is briefly outlined in a statement
by the state board of public affairs.

farmers deserve a smuch considera-
ton in the matter of obtaining work.

any other business men," and pre-

than they will make an effective de-

Put Him Off All Right.

A soldier got a furlough at Nash
Vile, and, laboring under load"
of commissary, took the train for the
north. He handed the brakeman a
dollar, and told him to be sure and
put him off at Elizabethtown.
'I may 'bject, but yo' pu'nme of
any'ow, an fl fight, yo' hi me an
drag me off, SHEEP"
During the night when they arrived
there the brakeman, after terrific
fight, put the soldier off at Eliza
BEETHOVEN. AS it grew light and the
train neared Louisville the brakeman
shook the drowsy passengers and
shouted: "All out!"
What does this mean?" said an
angry soldier, now sober, when he
got off and found himself at Louis
Vile. Didn't I give you a dollar
and tell you to put me off at Eliza
BEETHOVEN"
The trainman's jaw dropped, and
he stared at him blankly. Are you
the man? Then, who the dickens
vas the Teller l did put off there?"

BUTTER MEN DROP
QUOTATION BOARD
EIgin Board Ab0Iishes Practice
of Arbitrarily Fixing Prices.
ACTION RESULTS OF SUIT
Commission Men Assert Order viii
Result in Actual Sales Regulating
Charge to characterization Taken
at Stormy Session of Board.

Elgin, H., Dec. 17.-In the most
exciting annual meeting in its his
tory the Elgin board Of trade on
Monday abolished the practice of sew
enteen years standing of arbitrarily
fixing the price of butter by its quo
tation committee and adopted plan
to have the board itself determine the
price of the product in the future
based on actual sales.
The action came as a result of the
suit recently filed by the federal gov
eminent for the dissolution Of the
board. In it's bill the government
mentioned the quotation committee
legged butter trust" in controlling
the price of the product.
The reorganization of the board
and the amendment of it's rules was
the elimination of bitter fight for
control of the organization waged for
many years between the commission
or selling interests and the produc-
erS
Led by James P. Younger of Chi
cago, the commission men elected a
board of five directors, abolished the
quotation committee and made a
number of other important changes
in the organization's business meth
DDS.
The other changes in the rules
adopted provide for the lowering of
the quality standard of butter so as
to score go points in summer months
and 80 points in the winter months.
The present requirement is SO points
in the test throughout the year. An
other change requires that all butter
must be sold the same week in which
it is made and that all prices are to
be made from either Elgin or Chi
cago instead Of from the shipping
point.
