CUTTING DOWN SPEED.

The abandonment for the time be-
ing at least of the Is hour speed
between New York and Chicago on
the New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania roads, may be significant of
some reaction against speed.
Theoretically, these trains have
been run to save business men a
couple of hours time. One suspects
however, that the sporting desire
for speed has sold more tickets on
them than economy of working time
Fast train running appeals to the
same instinct that pleases the small
boy in the snow country, who ex-
periences indescribable thrills of de
light as he coasts down some pre-
cipitous HILL while his parents at
home momentarily expect to see him
return by ambulance.
The trains referred to on the two
first class roads referred to may be
substantially as safe as any others.
The worst of such railroading is that
it temptis second rate roads i'll equip
ped for speed to attempt similar re
cords.
When you reach your destination
on fast train, you may have to
wait around for hours for the time
of your appointment to come. But
with what pride you sit in the hotel
smoking room, and discourse to
chance acquaintance about those 20
miles per hour spurts of speed. You
scorcher, without any danger of be-
ing run into court and made to give
up rs by some fussy justice.
The great majority of enginemen
are splendid fellows, noble examples
Of courage and responsibility. But
there is always a drifting element
in the business, of rough rider
type, who handle a train about as
they would a wild broncho.
Railroad operation is only as safe
as it's weakest link If the most in
significant little cross roads branch
line freight train is operated by
daredevil, it may end in a heap of
press even though the latter may be
in the hands of a trained engineer
as responsible as an ocean steamship
captain.

BREAD FOR THE EATER.

''Those old fashioned families
which still use home made bread
should profit this winter from the
big wheat crop of the Northwest"
notes a financial writer. He goes on
to speak of prices of grain at Mime.
aolis as very much under a year
ago.
A travelling aslesman said the o.
Their day that prices of flour are low
er than they have averaged for the
past ten years The best grades, he
said are selling to the consumer for
IS cents to s1!00 a Darrell less than
a year ago
Even though beef may yet be reck-
oned with game birds and terrapin,
as rich mans luxury yet when the
poor man can sit down to a supper
of bread and milk, the principal ele-
ments for muscle building are at his
command.
1t may be said that bread and milk
is a dish for children and old maids.
Some men who order it in restaurant.
have been known to crumb oyster
crackers into it, so that they may
be thought to have ordered oyster
stew.
It was not so reasoned on the
farm in the old days, where a bread
and milk supper supplied the hearty
background for a five o'clock start
for the cornfield next day. A quart
of milk at eight cents, weighing two
pounds, brings the cost of milk down
to four cents a pound, containing per
haps just as much nourishment as
the fancy steak that sells at 40
cents.
The writer quoted above would
seem to intimate that to realize the
full advantages of cheap flour, the
family must make its own bread.
There's something in that too. The

make a study of stock market con-
ditions. The majority, who do so
would have done better to lock their
money up In standard bonds. Still,
one may admit that some men are
SO constituted that they can safely
invest in certain classes of stocks.
Here are some good rules for all
who buy stocks who have not had at
least emirprofesssional training in
the investment business.
1. Never buy a stock that has not
paid dividends at least five consecu-
tive years
2. Never buy stock without ex-
aiming an authoritative tabulation
of its income account for the past
year and unless its income account
shows a liberal margin earned above
dividen requirements.
3. Never buy a stock unless within
a year it has fallen in value at least
10 percent, without such fall in it's
earnings as threatens it's ability to
pay it's regular. dividend.
People without business training,
particularly women, should buy stock
under no circumstances, except on
the advice of some trained investor
who is personally interested in theirs
welfare.
If these rules were generally OBJ
served, thousands of stores and fac
tories would be employing labor and
distributing prosperity, which now
have gone under the hammer of the

ors, of the Bankruptcy court.

CHEAP CLOTHING.

The labor trouble in the mems ready
made garment trade puts sharp
Interrogation point up in these cost
of living times. The workingman, who
already can barely have meat once
a day, will now be asking whether
he must return to the linsey woolsey
Of the fathers.
The Survey says the average week
wage of New York home workers on
mems coats is but $40 to $500. On
trousers it is a shade better, $500
to $4.20. In neither case is it enough
to feed a human creature, let alone a
cent for shelter or cloths Condi-
lions in the factories are probably
not so bad, but as whole, wages in
the clothing trade are lower than a
world with any heart in it can per-
NIT very long.
Perhaps the best thing the poor
man can do in this pathetically
expensiveness of cheap clothing.
1t is a common experience, among
men who buy clothes Of good tailors,
to be surprised at the length of time
really good cloth will wear Any tail
or living in a wintry climate will
tell you of cases where an oVercoat
year, will wear ten years. Probably
it cost $4,000, half of which may be
considered as due to the high cost
of custom work. Probably the same
thing could be had in a good ready
made clothing store for $4,000 and at
off seasons for $500 If on pinch
such coat can be worn 10 years,
the cost is but $3.50 to $500 year
for the garment
1t is probable that mast Workingme1
would pay about $1,000 for an infer
ior garment, and could hardly make
it go more than three years, cost
ing them over $500 per year.
If the poor man can once get such
a start that he can buy a really
good coat, waiting perhaps for some
off season sale in order to get
the very best at a moderate price,
he will not merely save money in the
long run He will also do his part
toward solving the sorrowful problem
of the sweat shops. For it is al
ways the low cost garment that pays
the low wage.

SKILL AT BILLIARDS.

Of all the various pastimes that
interest men when winter weather VI
toes outdoor sport, probably noone
exercises more complete fascina-
ton than billiards.
AT the age of 40, when a fellow is
just developing into a real billiard
player, he is hooted off the ball field
aus an old man. On the TENNIS court
his putting heart may suggest that
he would better retire. Even at
golf, the prep school, boy may
beat out the veteran, merely because
his flowing muscles swing in uni
son and rythm without self-consci-
BUSINESS
Many billiard players of ordinary
skill ask how they can improve their
game. That 9 a problem for the ex-
pert rather than the editorial writer.
But one imagines that the majority
of intelligent amateurs would say this
first: Play every time for position,
and do not hit too hard. Three men
out of four use too much force and
too little forecast. No stroke lis a
good stroke unless tn eposittion in
which the balls are to be left has
been well planned.
1t is probably true that most men
do not study carefully enough the
mechanics of billiards, or for that
matter of any game played with a
ball The beginner thinks only in
terms of straight angles. But even
if he becomes skillful TO that extent
he soon finds he is as helpless as
a base ball pitcher with no curves.
The problems Of draw" and fol-
low" and English" shots seem beau
tifully complex and reconcile. They
are really perfectly simple, and con-
sist merely Of the effect in DETECTING
motion produced by twisting a ball
in one of four general directions, for
ward or back, right or left. You see
these forces work when you roll a
child's hoop with a reverse twist,
making it return, when the bali play
er fans a batsman with a drop, or
TENNIS player makes the ball cling
to the ground with a 'Lawford. . 4
Familiarity with these laws Of mo-
ton can always be gained by prac-
tice. But atmless play never does it
Patient experiment on each particular
typical stroke is needed.

the designs of paper money and of
the five cent piece are received with
some derision by humorous paragraph
ems. Nevertheless, every man who
eevr had much to do with the printing
business will be pretty sure to well
come the proposed changes as soon
as they appear.
Any printer with an eye for craftsss
manship would say that the designs
of American coins and paper money
have looked about like the printing
that used to be put out 25 to so
years ago.
Any man with an eye for form
should See how great an improve
ment the Lincoln cent was over the
ancient and commonplace drawing
Of the old copper The slender and
graceful lettering, the suppression of
needless detail so as too throw at
tention ON the central features, and
the graphic Illustration of the Lincoln
head, create a design of which A
mericans may we'll be proud.
If you look over the types of. a
print shop, you can detect the Old
faces by their coarse shading, am
the stiff monotony of their box like
right angles. The fat letters ON the
old Gains and on the present paper
money are like these old type faces.
A good printer would scarcely care t,
turn out an auction bill with such un
graceful types.
1t may be said that these symbols
Of value facetiously known as the
long green pass so rapidly from hand
to hand, that it makes no difference
whether their designs are good or
not, provided they pass at the gro
Gerry store.
Nevertheless, don't overlook the
value of an example of good crafts

WISCONSIN RIVER VALLEY.

Naturally the Wisconsin River
Valley cities and towns have
common interest for they are connect
ed by a common carrier, the Wiscon-
sin river In the early days OF
Wisconsin, this river was used to
transport logs and lumber. Now it
is used to develope power for manu-
featuring industries The develop
ment of these Industries is helping
to populate this valley and build it
up commercially. These cities fror
Rhinelander ON the north to Por-
tage on the south have a common i'm
terest and purpose. These interests
are large ly intertwined and inter
mixed by individuals having stock
in many of the various enterprises,
therefore there is unity of senti-
ment and business interest. The
water powers along this stream are
now nearly all developed and being
utilized. The Wisconsin river is
paralleled by the c. NJ. & st. Paul
railroad and its only a matter of
short time when it viii be paralleled
by an interurban street car system.
We have an eight mile link fin Wood
county from Nekoosa to Grand Rap
ids. There is another link from
Schofield to Wausau. This entire
Wisconsin River Valley should be
linked together as it certainly will b.
This monopoly interest I;ghtfully be-
longs to the men who have been long
residents and spent their life time
in it's development and up-buildimg of
this valley They should own and op
crate this street railway and the
people of the Wisconsin River Valley
should get together, build st. and
control it. Citizens In Portage Niece
dab, Nekoosa, Port Edwards, Grand
Rapids, Stevens Point, Wausau, Mer-
rill, Tomahawk, Minocqua and Rhine
lander should organize in each city
and then get to gether Jointly and

In the not far distant future, be
one of the best paying ventures in

BEING A COLLEGE PROFESSOR.


The announcement that President
is to become a college professor will
cause some commotion among busy
money makers The estimate has
recently been made that an ex-presi-
dent, by using such business oppor-
tunitfes as naturally come to him,
could make $4,000 year Why
should Mr.. Taft take a position that
will pay him but $1,000, and will take
a big chunk out of his time?
The position of college professor
does not have the social standing as
of yore It does not attract young
men as it used to. The professors
themselves are the first to admit and
deplore it.
Formerly, the professor could wear
his rusty tail coat for 30 years Now
he must have his swallowtail, his
dinner coat, his Prince Albert, all
fresh and frequently revised too the
latest college boy taste
He associates with persons who
are wealthy The plumber, the tail
or assess him a bill to correspond.
He is taxed by the improvement So
ciety for drives over which he nev-
er travelled. He and his family must
needs follow that many headed beast
Society, into the lair of all kinds of
expensive invitations and costly as
sociations.
His average salary is about $4,000.
To work up to it he must have spent
several costly years under the gerund
grinders of German universities. He
must work for a mechanics pay for
the years of a probationary period.
He must renew and add to his Eu-
ropean impressions occasionally And
for all this his wife must toll, spin
and save the basting threads. He
must ride creaky bicycle of anti
que pattern, at which even the vii
lage urchins point with derision.
But there are old books in their
libraries (even if they may be Dor
rowed copies) that tell them how to
deal with these difficulties. They
recall what Socrates, who had world
ly goods worth but $100, said to Kri-
tobolous, who had 100000: 81 am
richer than you, for my possessions
satisfy my desires, while yours do
not ~.
So the professors seem to get a
long very cheerfully, even if the
brightest boys of their classes look
askance at a job that does not pro-
vide an automobile the, second year.
Perhaps President Taft's example may
suggest to few of these fellows that
not all the earth's best wages are
paid in coin.
