The New London Business Mems association. composed in the main of
 members of the other organization, has gradually taken on features that are far removed from the original pur- pose of the association. has taken over the business usually conducted by the Board of Trade and has now become the real industrial organization of the city. The New London Board of Trade still exists but for the past few years has been engaged in a quiet work through it's committees and officers, rather than to appear as if in com petition with the now larger and more progressive New London Business Mems association.
 There are occasions when possibly representatives of the two Organiza- tions have more inbuence than either would have by itself. and when such occasion does arise both organizations
 work in unison and for the one com mon purpose. As the membership of
 both organizations are particularly the same or as near so as possible, the New London Business Mems associa- ton would not be benefited by the dis solution of the New London Board of Trade.

Some dairymen assert that breeding is the one thing which counts in cows productive value. Well, Bum bIegoat'' was rather well bred, and she wasn't worth raising. Others assert that it all depends on the "nutritive ratio'' of her fodder. Perhaps l tried at least three highly commended ra- tions for "Bumblegoat," and she didn't do a whit better on any one of them than she did on her regular diet of hay, corn-stalks bran and cut roots.

The talk of merging the New Lon don Board of Trade and the New Lon don Business Mems association was revived this week at a meeting of the latter organization, and it would be perhaps well to have this done if possible. This same thing was at tempted several years ago when 1t was disclosed that owing to certain provisions in the business mems as- sociation relating to credit ratings it had no place with the Board of Trade and that therefore members of the Board Of Trade not in sympathy with what was believed to be the cardinal principle of the Business Mems asso- ciation were not eligible to member ship. It was explained at the time that while all members of the New London Business Mems association could be transferred to membership in the Board of Trade, that all mem
 bers of the Board of Trade could not be transferred into the other organi- zation. To be plain the New London Board of Trade could take over the New London Business Mems associa- ton, but not vice versa. Then the negotiations ended as the younger of the two organizations did not pro- pose to lose itself that way

Kansas and Tex as railroad. 60 miles northwest of here last night, continued today with definite result It was believed the bandits went down the Missouri river in skiff The number of men who took part in the holdup is uncertain.
 Members of the train crew today said there were but two bandits. Charles Pfeiffer, track walker, who surprised the bandits as they were robbing the ex- press car, said there were five.
 Pfeiffer walked into Klondyke, Mo, and disposed of story by members of the train crew that they believed he had been kidnapped by the bandits to prevent his watching their escape. He said he saw the engine and express cars running with out passenger coaches and that as the train stopped he ran up to see what was the matter He looked into the express car and was commanded to throw up his hands. He said he was kept under guard by two men who guarded the express messenger and two postal clerks.
 A third robber, he said, guarded the engineer, while two rified the safe.
 As the bandits left, said Pfeiffer they ordered the engineer to run his engine and express cars few miles to Klondke and to stay there awhile before backing down to the passenger coaches. The engi- neer did as he was told.

Bryan's Peace Plan
 Pleases London News

London, July 10.-The Daily News, commenting editorially on the an- nouncement of Walker II. Page, Amer ican ambassador. at the peace cen tenary meeting in the Metropolitan tabernacle last night, that new treaty between the United States and Great Britain looking to closer binding of the two countries was being concluded, says
 This feat which has crowned Secre- tary of State Bryan's lifelong labor for peace Is the realization of a dream with which Sir Edward Grey aroused the House of Commons to an astonishing display of enthusiasm three years ago. but which the amiable weakness of President Taft was not strong enough to translate into action"
 "Mr. Bryan's proposals" the News concludes, "are strictly practical, the object of referring disputes to q com misison being to secure time for reflec- tion and cooling off when public opin- ion is dangerously excited"
