purchase of $3.50, 100000 worth of cot
ton that, the southern planters have
been unable to sell because OF the

amendments to the measure to provide
$500, O0O, 900 for the purchase of cereals
whenever their price gets below a
point where there will be healthy
profit for the farmers. Still another
"kidder' wants the government to buy
price gets low. The nation sympa'

growers haven't financial genius

LIQUOR AND ACCIDENTS.

Statistics prepared by the Pennsyl-
,vania department of labor show con-
clusively that sixty per cent of indus
trial accidents are due to over indulg-
ence in alcoholic drinks-in other
words that men who are intoxicated
or partly so cause over half the acct
dents that occur in shops, railroads
and mines. Remedial measures are
being taken generally to overcome or
lessen the peril occasioned to every
one by the intoxication of a few.
Many employers refuse to hire men
who drink; railways are making strin-
gent rules against drinking, going so
far as to discharge men who drink
while On duty and laying off Nmen who
drink when off duty. Corporations
with big factories are fighting the sa-
loon and doing their best to keep sa-
looms away from shops the same as
they are kept out of the neighborhood
of churches. A Michigan factory
owner who forbid his employees to
drink liquor during the day, arranged
for a milk wagon to stop at the fac
tory, and permitted his men to stop
work long enough to get bottle Of
milk if they were SO inclined. This
man reports that the scheme has stop
ped the use of alcoholic drinks among
his men,
Sooner or later all employers will
realize that men who drink are not the
best employees and sooner or later en-
ployes who drink will find that they
must either be content to stay at the
bottom OF the ladder all their life or
cut out the liquor habit.

CAN ESCAPE DUTY AGAIN.

The country applauded the action OF
congress month or so ago when it
was decided that congressman who
were not present during sessions, were
not entitled to pay. The common peo-
pie liked to think that their servants
really had some responsibility con-
nected with their titles. Other men
have to account for their time. Why
not congressman?
But that action was taken at time
when several republican members OF
congress were going home to mend
their fences as they say of a con-
gresham who is out getting votes for
reelection. Now it has become con-
venient for a number of the democrats
to rush home and seek to quiet the
fuss that is being made about the levy
ing of a heavy war tax in a time OF
peace for this country. So the dock
ing" rule has been repealed and once
more congressman may beat 1t home
if they so desire and yet keep right
on drawing their salary of twenty dol
lars and some odd cents day.

IRRIGATE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
BY Herbert Kaufman
Author of ''DO Something Be Something's

Half century ago there were ten million acres of
land within half thousand miles of Omaha, upon
which not even blade of grass would grow. Today
upon these very deserts wonderful orchards and
tremendous wheat fields. The soil itself was full of
possibilities. What the land needed was water In
time there came farmers who knew that they could
not expect streams to to them and so they dug
bitches and led the water to their properties from the
surrounding rivers and lakes they titled the earth with
their brains as well their plows they became rich
through irrigation
Advertising has made thousands of men rich, just
because they recognized the possibilities Of utilizing the
the newspapers to bring streams of buyers into neigh
borhoods that could be made busy locations by irrga
ton - by drawing people from other sections.
The successful retailer is the man who keeps the
stream Of purchasers coming his way 1t isn't the spot
itself that makes the store pay - it's the man who
makes the spot pay Centers Of trade are not selected
by the public - they created by the force which
controls the public - the newspapers.
New neighborhoods for business being
stantly built up by who have located themselves in
streets which they have changed from deserted byways
into teeming jostEng thoroughfares through adverts
ing irrigation.
The storekeeper who whines that his neghborhood
holds him back is squirting at the truth he is hurt
ing the neighborhood
If it lacks streams of buyers, he easily enough
secure them by reaching out through the columns of
the daily and inducing people from other sections to
come to him. Every time he influences customer Of
competitor he is not only rrgating his field but
is dverting the streams upon which nonadvertisng
merchant depends for existence. Men and women who
live door shop that does not plead for their
custom will eventually be drawn to an establishment
miles away.
The circulation of every newspaper is nothing less
than reservoir of buyers from which shoppers stream
in the direction that promises the most value for the
least money. a
The magic development of the desert lands has it's
parallel in merchandising of the men who consider the
newspaper an irrigating power which can make two
customers grow where grew before.

which employ men who are thoroughly

have to accept the same wage for night
as for day.
Senator Gummins Of Iowa has been
one Of the stanchest defenders Of the
postal employees against bureaucratic
domineering. He was one of the nine

who has stood between them and
threats of punishment on account of
previous complaints.

The report that Andrew Carnegie

accepted as only reasonable, by the re-

which Representative Woods Of Iowa Is

the republican committee declares that
Carnegie financed thetpresident's cam

that the ironmaster is still grateful to

out Of these railroads because they had
been able to name their own rates for

road commissions regulated the rates
far downward, and the free tolls pro-

joined with President Wilson and with

to repeal free tolls; he is now trying tc
