Where did Berman Get Off al?
The other day George Posey was
telling a crowd about the values he
was advertising for cash. mention
ing that he would give 20 pounds OF
sugar for dollar when under tn"
credit system he would only give 16.
German thought that Posey was
Joking and be Immediately put up a
dollar and said to Posey "deliver
the 20 pounds of sugar at the
house." Mr.. Berman was tickled
over his bargain and Immediately
told others who happened to come
about the deal just made. One
gentleman who happened along
wanted to take advantage of the
bargain but lacked the necessary
cash and noticing that Mr.. herman
had another dollar in his hand,
asked to borrow it to purchase the
sugar. Posey got his $500 for the
forty pounds of sugar and was
satisfied but Berman paid $500 Tor
twenty pounds, unless he has
collected what he loaned.

JUST AS we thought. it would
take something mighty to shake
the rates of the Express com
panies doing business through
out the United States and the
only thing that seems to have
been able to do this was for the
government to enter into direct
competition through the parcel
post business. But it has come
and the rates, of the express
companies haveSgone tufabling.
Announcement is now made that
on and after February 1st rates
for express packages will be
materially reduced, the cut IN
rate amounting to from 80 to 80
per cent.
The cry of@the express com
panies has always been that they
would be unable to do business
any cheaper but,it seems thatait
was possible and the parcel post
business was the medium to
bring it about. How sorry, in
deed, will every body feel for the
poor companies which have had
their grip. on the public until
this time.

Select Good Men

IT IS little more than TWO
months until the annual spring
election and voters Of the city
should begin giving some
attention to the men who VIII
be nominated as candidates TO
serve the city>du ring the next
two years. There is to be elect
ed a mayor, treasurer, assessor,
six aldermen and six super
visors,
In past years voters OF the
city have given too little
attention to the class OF men
who have been nominated with
the result that. .sosae vs. ml gp t.gsE
poor men have been elected to
office, This, of course, is not
true in every instance for some
good men have also been elected
to city office, but in almost
every instance they have been
handicapped with poor material
with which to work.
The city business is too large
to be handled by individuals
who know little or nothing about
business affairs and the sooner
the voters learn to campaign for
better men for office the better
it will be for the city.
=: There is no use for the people
to complain about their taxes
being so high when they refuse
to take an interest in the elect
ions to the extend of seeing
that men are elected to office
who are qualified for the
positions which they seek.

CORN SILAGE PAYS WELL.

Experiments Prove It's Great Worth as
Feed For Stock.
The South Carolina experiment sta.
ton recently published bulletin by
Archibald Smith giving the results OF
tests to ascertain the value Of different
kinds Of forage crops fed with cotton
seed meal. The main findings are Of
south and of great value to farmers In
any section OF the country. The bulle-
tin demonstrates anew the economy
Of corn silage as beef producing feed.
In this test silage, corn slower and
cottonseed bulls were compared. The
test demonstrated:
That corn silage gave by far the
best returns not only In economic pro-
duction Of beef, but also In the quality
Of beef and the shape IN which Il
reached the market
That silage fed steers produced beef
from Is to 20 per cent cheaper than the
other feeds.
That silage fed beef lost less In ship
ping 70 marasst This b q test which
some shippers have disputed IN the
past, declaring silage fed beef lost Sc
verely in the shipping process
That the sfiage FED group produced
gains. that would warrant a value on
the silage OF $3.50 ps- ton-this earn
ing on q very poor market, as the steers
sold for only $3.50 per hundred. Had
they been sold on a good market the
gain might have been increased 20 per
cent.
That with a cost Of e. per ton for the
production Of corn silage a fair aver
age good corn should be made to earn
from $50 to $40 per acre.

To Kill the Canada Thistle.

According to an Iowa press bulletin,
sodium arsenite is the only chemical
that will entirely destroy the Canada
thistle. 1t is applied at the rate Of one
and one-half pounds to flfty-two gal
Ions Of water. 1t further states that
good method for the eradication Of
this weed is to pillow shallow and cult
vate frequently during the summer.
After blowing the soil should be drag
ged and the roots exposed to the sun
and removed. It may be found neces-
sary to cut OF with a hoe the stray

Tho Noble Life.

True worth Is in being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not In the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For, whatever men say In blindness
And spite Of the fancies Of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mets as We measures
We canvot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure
For justice svenges each slight

ever pause to think how much there
is to "a hearty handclasp? Flo ~ quickly
one can analyse another's thoughts
by these clasping hands. There is
so much good will and comradship
displayed in the hearty hand clasp,
and it makes one feel how good it is
just to be alive to greet them. Then
there is the half hearted. wshy-
washy sort of handclasp; one can
tell the instant one touches the hand
that there is only half heart back
Of the hand, and one feels the chills
beginning to creep up and down the
spinal cord until one doesn't know
If it will ever really reach halt of

long to know that that hand Lasn t

very little, if any. stability of char
acter backing what little heart there
is. As it is with the handclasp so it
is with the cheerful word and bright
smile. Happiness and cheerfulness

soul, and fills it with a steady and
perpetual serenity. Happiness at
least is not solitary; 1T joys 80 com

pends' upon them for existence.
There is so much good one can do,
and the very act of doing it makes
enc happy. So many kind words
one might say, and the consciousness
of saying them is enough happiness
in itself. So much sympathy is
needed ia the world, anu one can
certainly sympathize with those that
need it and so aed our unit to assist
mankind, and be happy in knowing
that we have lent the helping hand

beauty everywhere to be enjoyed.
