Your Fall
Vacation

II you are one of those who
prefer an autumn vacation and
are wondering where You will
go this year, come in and let mo
tell you of the pleasures and
benefits OF a camping trip in
the Rockies. Foi genuine en-
Joyment, there is scarcely any
thing that can compare with a
trip of this kind.
Those who have camped out
once in the Rockies need no
invitation to come again, and
those who want an outing
different from the ordinary can
do nothing better. The elm
ate is very dependable, railroad
facilities are excellent and good
roads and trails lead off into
the mountains in all directions
Tthese, combined with good
fishing, scenic attractions and
tonic atmosphere, make camp
life positively ideal.
Outfits may be rented or pur-
chased outright at reasonable
prices at any of the larger towns.
The question of just where to
go may easily be decided upon
after reaching Denver. Colorado
Springs, Salt Lake or whatever
may be your stopping point, or
beforehand by a perusal of our
Colorado and Utah folder. Your
copy is waiting for you. r. L.

Money to Loan.

STATE MONEY IF CROPS FAIL.

Kansas should have state fund of
one million dollars to lend farmers on
a low rate of interest when crops fail.
Such a fund would enable farmers to
borrow money without mortgaging
their farms to loan sharks 1t would
prevent the hard times that are bound
to follow successive crop failures, es-
pecially in western Kansas. This is
the belief of ]. H. Miller, director of
college extension at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college, who proposes the es-
adjustment of a fund of this sort
according to the Kansas Industrialist-
He believes farmers deserve it.
"This money could be lent" Mr..
Miller said, ION farms and farm pro-
duce at, say, 3 per cent interest, the
principal to be paid in five annual
payments or less, depending on the
crops of the following years. Loans
should be made for the purchase of
seed, for feed for maintenance of stock,
work horses. milk COWS, etc, and for
food and necessaries for the family.
THE state. or even a county, should
be able, also, to make 3 per cent loans
on grain in crib or elevator when prices
are too low for profit. The farmer is
just as much entitled to proht on his
wheat corn or hogs as is the dealer.
In July and August this year. thou
sands of farmers will be compelled to
sell their wheat, no matter If the

quently pity them. Those who have
pride in their wealth rather than IN
character or achievement. I try to
forget if they do not insist upon OBJ
truding their Objectionable PERSONAL
ties upon me. I have the same con-
tempt for them that I have for the
pursy grocer with a $4,000 stock of
goods who will mot speak to the thin
grocer who has, a stock worth only
$4,000. Both. are suffering from a
very disgusting Inflammation of the
organs of -self-approbation and are
not fit society for healthy folks.
1 never worry over any man who
has won his, wealth. If he gets over
the rights of his neighbor, society or
the law will take care of him in time.
The real menace Of wealth takes
bodily shape in the worthless, ex-
rugged old sire who fought his way
up. I object to him on the ground
that he is bad example for the I'M
thinking, who obviously imagine that
he is having a good time and is cut
ting figure in the world.
1t is not to the credit of the rest
of US that we are prone to envy and
emulate the drone who loafs about
the hive of plenty until outraged
nature cuts short his brief existence
1t is sad commentary on our ideals
that we should refuse to play mems
parts in the world because we can
not do so and live in ease-that we
should neglect opportunities to be of
real use to spend our time hunting
for short cuts to wealth and luxury,
1t is unfortunate that a large pro-
portion of our young women have
been taught by their well meaning
mothers that to marry wealth is the
highest privilege. The old ideal of
motherfng strong men who should
leave the prints of their capable fin
gers upon the work of their times
was far better one. But this is
the situation, and the idle, shiftless,
unambitious, oyerfed and over
a wealth-winner and wastes the sub
stance garnered by his efficient sire,
is the object upon which the eyes IF
thse deluded rainbow chasePs are
fixed.
What both need is to be put to work.
The great wrong that society has done
the idle sons of the rich lies in permit
ting them to put asid, their burdens
The injury that is worked upon those
who envy the rich is done when the
enVious ones forget that to be of use
is the highest privilege and that ma
ture, who fitted men to work pun
ishes with mental, moral and physical
flabbiness, with chronic disgust and
discomfort, those who refuse to be of
service. 1t is good to be blessed with
a strong back under a heavy load IT
were hard to conceive of anything more
repulsive than a back grown weak and
incapable through disuse.

ShemeId Plate.

A recent decision of the courts in
a case tried at Belfast should be of
interest to American purchasers of
antiques, particularly "old Sheffield
plate" or. sheffield plated" The
prosecutor, acting with the support
and cooperation of the Cutters COM
pany and the Sheffield Master Silver
smiths association brought series
of six summonses against dealer in
Belfast, complaining that he did ap-
ply to certain articles a false trade de-
scription, namely old Sheffield plate
or Sheffield plated contrary to the
merchandise act of 1887
The case establishes the point that
sheffield plated implies vessels
made of copper and coated with silver
by means of fusion. This process was
the precursor of electroplating, and
died about 20 years ago. Very little
ware is produced in Sheffield by this
method today. Fine specimens of
genuine Sheffield plate bring fancy
prices, and at the trial it was stated
that large quantities of both the real
and counterfeit are bought by Ameri-
cans. The articles in question were
shown to be electroplate on copper by
a process patented about the year
1853. None of the articles were Shelf
field plate. Sheffield plated, or old
from Sheffield. The magistrates con-
sidered the offences clearly proved.
In view of the great interest which
collectors take in old Sheffield plate,
it is interesting to note that so-called
reproductions of this plate are man
ufactured in Birmingham. These are
said to be produced in the same man
rer as the original Sheffield plate;
and If after manufacture the pieces
are rubbed down and brought to the
same apparent age as the old plate,
even experts, so one has informed me,
would find it difficult to distinguish
them from the genuine, although they
could always distinguish electroplate
on copper from the ware manufactur-
ed by hammering or fusing silver up
on copper Since the passage of the
American tariff act of 1909 reproduce
