PREACHING HONOR TO RoosE-

Mr.. Roosevelt yesterday at Chand'
Ter, Ok, said that any man who
votes the Republican presidential tick
ct this year is not an honest man.
But last night in this city he urged
his followers to vote the Republican
ticket, because in Oklahoma he can't
have a separate column on the bal
lot, and his friends assure him that
the Republican electors, if elected,
will vote for him. 1t makes no diff
ference to him that the Republican
elesctors were nominated with the un-
derstanding that they would vote
for the Republican candidate nom
mated by the Republican national
convention, and are, therefore, under
moral obligation to live. up to that

Chicago Dairy Produce.
The Manchester, Iowa, cooperative
Company after an existence OF, 25
years, celebrated the event by hold
/ ing picnic.
Manchester and vicinity is historic
ground when it comes to the dairy In
dustry in the West. It is what might
be called the cradle of the, industry,
1t was once the seat of learning in
all matters pertaining to butter and
lbuttermaking; and it was from there
that teachers went out to- all sections
Of the country, instructing the people
in The art of ;buttermakng.
I ct one time every new creamery
started in the West had buttermak-
er from Manchester to operate it.
These buttermakers were considered
authority upon all matters pertaining
10 buttermaking: andsmo than one
of them owe their success in the bus
mess world to the fact that they liv-
ed in Manchester, the seat of learn
ing of the dairy industry.
1T was three miles from there that
John Stewart, in the. year. 1872, es-
tablished the first creamery. It was
there that the. creamery system was
developed from theory to an accom-
plished fact; and the Manchester Co.
Operative Creamery stands today as
undisputable evidence OF the benefits

Grafton among the farmers.
The picnic, while not large one,
was good one. 1t marked another
historical event in the development
and progress Of cooperation amongl
the farmers of that vicinity.
1t was In the nature Of a revival
In which the dairymen renewed their
allegiance to their own institution.
The meeting strengthened theirl
confidence in!their ability to Success
fully conduct business enterprise.
We know that every choperative1
creamery would he materially
strengthened and benefited by gel,
ting their patrons together, at least
once a year, giving them a revhe1 ,
Of what their institution had done. n +
them during the year and mahl ie
an appeal to their pride in their o yn
institution. Every patron, be he ST ok
holder or, not, should be booste1 for
his home creamery.
The fact is. universally reccx lized
today that all business ente n )rises
Are successful only when e vf ryone

WILSON TEACHING BY EXAMPLE
A MUCH NEEDED LESSON.

sa.l.5 - MINT ENGEOED IEO0ONs iTyti {.
Wilson continues to speak kindly
Of his opponents and excuses rather
than magn1fies their shortcomings.
By 80 doing he is teaching candidates
for public positions that they have
nothing to lose by observing the de-
cencies of life while engaged in cam
paign work.
Governor Wilson's position in The
present campaign calls to mind this
verse of poetry: -
Like some tall cliff that lifts its
giant form
High DER the vale, and midway 1eav-
es the storm.
Though round it's breast the rolling
clouds are spread
Eternal sunshine settles on its head

Fooled Them.

Among other things upheld" by Uncle Sam's Olympic athletes at Stockholm was the reputation of the United States as a nation of "kidders."
 One of the most amusing and effective of the many good-humor- ed stunts pulled off at the expense of the foreigners was executed by part of the Yankees trap-shooting team. Before the day of the match, J. R. Graham, with Hall, Lyon and Billings, other members of the trap team, went out to the shooting grounds for a practice hour. The party was trailed by a number of members of the Russian trap-shoot- ing team, who were anxious to get a line on the Yankee brand of craftsmanship. Hall scented the inspection" and suggested to Graham that little scare" be handed to the Czar's subjects. So when the practice began Graham, using Remington.U NC Arrow Steel Lined Shells, with which he shot his way to the worlds individ- ual championship at clay targets. few days later, started off conser- vatively by missing two of the first three targets. This gait looked encouraging to the Russians, who saw visions of first" for their team in the trap-shooting event. Then Graham unlimbered and broke forty-nine straight.

The Age of Concrete.
National Magazine.l

At present comparatively new material is pushing it's way into popularity, and that for an in- finitude of uses. Portland cement, as it was first made known 10 the world about 1924 at Portland, Eng land, where 1t was first manufact- ured, and came into favorable mo- tice in connection with submarine construction where ordinary stone work had utterly failed It was not until 1895, however, that 1t was manufactured in the United States. and it was only within the last decade that 1t has begun to supplant brick and stone as a build ing material. Made by the calci. nation of mari, clay, slag and other materials, 1t absorbs water freely and is mixed with sand and broken rock in varying proportions, the strongest being one part of cement to two of sand and four of "aggre- gate" It sets almost as soon as mixed; continues to absorb water and to harden for many days, and gains strength for many years.
 Millions of bags have been used in constructing the Panama Canal; no fortifcation is considered com plete without it, great hulks and lighters are built of steel skeletons coated with concrete, and the belief is very common that it must soon replace both wood and brick in house construction. Indeed, the high price of lumber, the greater cost of brick, owing to higher fuel and wages, with the resultant use of inferior lumber and brick weak ened by modern processes which hasten the burning but leave the product much more porous and softer than those made in the old way, must tend to increase the use of concrete for dwellings and small buildings of all kinds. Immense areas of sidewalk and pavement are laid yearly and swiftly increas- ing, and in the stuoendous tun- nels, sewers, bridges, dams, sea- walls and other public structures concrete has largely replaced brick and stone.
