Concerns Country Merchants
Elizabethtown IN. W Post

Elizabethtown IN. W Post
When mail-order magnate admits
under oath on the witness stand that his
firm actually cleared over seven millions
of dollars during 1912 from sales made in
the rural districts of the nation, is it nou
about time that the country merchants
were looking into the matter and prepar-
ing some adequate means of defense to
combat this great national octopus which
threatens to undermine the very princi-
pie of rural business. extending from the
tiniest cross roads store to the biggest
National bank in the country?
What are the merchants going to do
about it? Is not this the logical ques-
ton that should be faced by every man
in business in the rural district today?
Recently, in Chicago, the government
conducted an investigation looking into
the conditions in the big mail-order
houses, where women were paid starva-
ton wages that were the stepping stones
to vice and immortality, in order that the
big profits might not be molested.

The Snake and the Umbrella.

q spent pleasant hour with a travcler," said the truthful man, "who told lot of snake stories. T remember the last of them. It was about a man who took a nap in the woods, laying his umbrella on rock beside him.
 "Aftcr awhile it began to rain, and the man awoke. He was all wet. He took hold of his umbrella and opened it hurriedly. It seemed rather stiff in going up, and there Was d ripping, tearing sound. Then d live blacksnake fell to the ground, split in two from its head to its tail.
 "Iou see, it had swallowed the umbrella all but the handle, and the man did not notice what had happened till, putting the umbrella up, he halved the snake from stem to stcrn."

Water Puts Babies to Sleep.

The people who live in the noun tains round Simla have some very curious customs. They believe, for instance, that children benefit by having cold water poured on their heads, though they are unable to state wherein the benefit lies. Ba- bies, from shortly after their birth to the age of four or five years, are daily put with their heads under a small stream of water, remaining there for several hours without wet ting its clothes. The water hits the top of its head and then runs off without wetting it's clothes. The water has a decided soporific effect, putting the child to sleep almost at once-which may be the explana- tion of the popularity of the prac- tice. One or two wonen usually remain in charge of bunch of ba- bies.-Widc World Magazine.

Living In Poise.

To improve yourself the first es- sential is to prevent all waste of energy by living in poise. The sec ond essential is to use your imagina- tion ill picturing those things that you want to accomplish now. And the most practical use that can be made of the imagination is to pie lurc your talents and faculties larger, greater and more perfect: To imagine in mind larger and more perfect talent is to give the creative forces in mind d better model, and as these forces always create after the fashion of the latest model they will consequently create the larger and the more perfect talent.-Larson.

CRIMES OF PARoLED PRISONERS.

The fact that some paroled pris- oners have been guilty of crimes. and particularly that one paroled prisoner should have killed a Dayton typist, has been used as an attack upon the parole system by some peo- pie, who neglect to make an honest comparison.
 Says one newspaper: "lt is be- coming apparent that too many fatal mistakes are being made by those who open the gates of prisons to men who have had all the benefits of the courts and who have been adudged guilty"
 The argument, logically, should car ry out to the conclusion that for all offenses imprisonment should be for life. Convicts who have completed their terms and been discharged fire quently commit other crimes. If it is fatal mistake to discharge, un- der parole, a prisoner who has show ed evidences of reformation because some such released prisoners have committed crimes, t is even graver mistake to discharge at any time any prisoner, because of the fact, easily shown by statistics, that the majority of discharged convicts are later re- arrested for some other crime.
 The parole system is comparative ly new in this country. Its workings in this country, at least, have been highly satisfactory. There is not the slightest question, on the facts, that the paroled prisoner here, at leas.. is far less likely to rommit new crimes than the man who has serv- ed out his full term and on whom the law has no hold until he commits further offenses and has been con- victed.-Seattle P-I.

FRIGHTENING AGREEMENTS.

The Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice have de- cIded to cooperate in an effort to break up the practice of price fixing by manufacturers and wholesalers, a practice that the Supreme Court of the United States has declared to be in violation of the Sherman anti trust law. Secretary Redfeld of the Department of Commerce announc S that he will begin an inquiry into the extent of retail price fixing by man. ufacturers and the violators of the law will be prosecuted under the di- rection of the Department of Justice
 Retail dealers throughout the country will welcome this activity by the federal authorities as they have been compelled to be parties to a plan which has stiffled competition and exacted too large a tribute from the consumer It is well known that in most lines, like hats, shoes, hos iery, practically all of the proprietary medicines and druggists supplies, col lars, and many brands of canned goods, the prices are fixed py the wholesaler or manufacturer and the retailer is penaliZed if he cuts the prices fixed. The price-fxing agree, ments apparently work almost ex- clusively for the benefit of the manu- lecturers and the jobbers By this plan the retailer is compelled to pay more for certain we'll known staples than he would if competition were open and his margin of profit is ac. cordingly reduced. He is not per. mitted to cut the prices, even to get rid of surplus stock, and the consum CT is deprived of the benefit of com petition.
 President Wilson has declared for free competition by enforcing the ex isting laws in both letter and spir it, or by making new ones if they are needed, and the campaign against price-fxing is step in that direc tion that should prove helpful to both retailers and consumers.-Ex.

DURATION OF DREAMS.
h SlumberIand Ono May Live Hours
 In . Few Seconds.

i h sIumberIand One May Live Hours In . Few Seconds. In the course of discussion at the British Medico-Psychologic society, Sir George H. Savage, who has always been a dreamer himself, and no sooner closes his eyes than he passes into dreamland, gave some interesting data upon which he bases the belief that dreams, even of an apparently prolonged character, occupy but the shortest space of time.
 ''Dreams are almost always as- sociated," he says, "with the mo- ments of waking or falling asleep. They may be of the briefest time, yet may appear long.
 q was once benighted with party when climbing without guides in Switzerland. We were finally forced to stop in our descent by a precipice, and we got into secure but narrow places. The only change of position l could get was by plac- ing a foot on a rock opposite me, but always to be recalled to my po- sition by my foot falling.
 "Once I fell asleep for moment between placing my foot on the rock and the foot falling, and in this fraction of a second l dreamt that l had to go home, dress for dinner and then drive to the house of my hostess. 1 arrived there to find that I was rather late. 1 took the hostess down to dinner and was asked by the butler if 1 would take mulligatawny soup.
 "The soup was the only recent traceable association with the dream. The night before, at our bivouac, one of the party produced some compressed soup, which turned out to be mulligatawny, a soup we thought unsuitable for thirsty souls.
 'On another occasion, returning from fishing, threw myself into an armchair and said to my companion, I will sleep for few minutes be- fore changing my clothes for din ner.' l may say that have the gift of voluntary sleep.
 "This was at 7::e5 o'clock At 7:27 o'clock 1 awoke, having had long dream, in which l had had d serious difference of opinion and a prolonged and vexatious argument on a question concerning young relation having butler at Oxford.
 ''Thus, by the clock, in the two minutes I decided to sleep, l slept and I dreamt.'
 In a paper on "Dreams and Their Significance" which Sir George read to one of the branches of the Medico-Psychological association little time ago, he quoted the sug- gestion of Hutchinson that there might be reversions to ancestral habits in dreams and that our float ing dreams might really be memo rics of an arboreal existence of simian ancestors. - Pall Mall Ga zette.

BASEBALL DOPE BY
 SPORTING EDITOR
Some Winter Comments by the Sport ing Editor-TroubIes of the
 Baseball Magnates.

When the wires go down and it is impossible to secure news from the outside an Alaskan newspaper is obliged to call upon all it's reserve force for items to fill up the paper, and during the winter the last reserve called upon is ye sporting editor, for items from the "coal stove" league, but as we are desperate, here goes for some notes gleaned from the out side papers pertaining to the nation al game.
 All sporting writers agree that the heart and spirit of the Giants were broken during the late lamented world series (my judgment was poor) and that the best they can hope for next year is third place, with strong possibility of landing in fourth. That the contest for first honors next year will rest between Philadelphia, Chica- go and the Pittsburg Pirates. Mo- Graw, however, has been brought to a realization of the weakness of his team and is already endeavoring to make trades which will strengthen the team. He is extremely anxious to land Ed. iKonetchy, first baseman, and Lee Magee, oLtfielder, of the St. Louis Cardinals. Konetchy is con- sidered the best first baseman in the National League and these two play CTS are considered the backbone of the Cardinals. In exchange for these two players Manager Huggins, of the Cardinals, wants Merkle, Herzog, Will son, Shafer and Burns, and some dol lars. I guess the hitch is in the coin, for the trade of players Qeaving out their personal feelings), would strengthen both teams, strange as it may seem. The Cardinals would re- ceive a pretty good infield by the deal, at least an improvement on what they now have; while McGraw with Ko- nechy, Doyle, Fletcher and one oth- CT good player would have an ex- ceptionally strong infield and a good outfield.
 Lynch's retirement from the pres idency of t e National League was a foregone conclusion after the num- erous disagreements he has had the past y ar with t C different manag CTS. The election of ex-Gov T my, of Pennsylvania, as president of the league has been we'll received by ev- eryone.
 In the games played in the United States by the world-touring Giants and White Sox the White Sox seem ed to win the majority of the games, even the reliable Matty as been hit pretty hard during these games. It is doubtful whether the players who par ticipate in this tour will be in good condition next summer, as they are liable to go stale after year and half continuous playing
 The Federal League is worrying the two big leagues considerable this year. With the Players Union mak- ing demands upon the managers, de- mands which they do not want to concede; and the Federal League own- CTS offering special inducements to the players, the winter rest of the managers and owners 0 fthe big lea que clubs is certainly not a bed of roses.
