YOU GAN
 IF YOU WILL
CLEAN UP YOUR OWN PREMISES TAEM E3AG To YOUR NEIGH
 scR. HE'LL GET BUSY, TOO

Would you increase the value ot your town property if you could?
 It's easy to do and worth do- ing.
 Get busy on it; clean it up; re- pair and paint up; grade your grounds, if they need it; keep your walks in good condition and add new ones where required; cut the weeds and keep them down, both on and adjacent to your property; don't throw trash ln the street of the back yard; keep up your fences, if you have them; grow plenty of flowers and neat shrubbery, and make it a place of beauty.
 Then go around and brag like the dickens to your neighbors about your place, and keep on bfagging until you make him jealous of it's beauties and he goes to work and does the same With his.
 Then let him in on the secret and start him out to rubbing it into his neighbors, and see that he keeps it up unti they, too, be- come tired of the contrast and the bragging and get busy on their own property with a deter imitation to outdo the rest of you.
 And in time the whole town will become jealous of the prop erty of each other and every fel- low will be Whooping it up to see who can have the most attractive place.
 Then the travelling public will come along and take notice, and go away and talk of the beauties of our town and the thriftiness of our people, and other people will want to come and live in such a fine community.
 And isn't it easy to see that your property then will be worth nearly double what it is today? EGoCNSngNER ESCAPES CHARGE

St. Louis Post Dispatch. KANSAS CITY SsARNEr REPORT
 Kansas City Stock yards, August ?, 1915. The cattle mar ket picked up a little after Tues day of last week, and sales today are steady with the close of last week, 10 to 20 cents above week ago. Receipts for week 11,000 head today, but as few cattle came in after Tuesday last week, buyers were in a re- captive mood, needing material. although they tried to make a slow market out of it today. There were practically no prime cattle here, owners rebelling at the treatment they got last week, and it is certain that ten dollars or more will be paid for the first good cattle to come.
 Some extra heavy steers from southern Kansas, weighin g around 1,80O pounds, brought $9.60, very fat. Some fancy heifers sold at $9.50. Kansas pasture steers brought S7.8O to $7.90 today, most of them at S8.30 to $8.50, some plain horned steers at $7.75. The trade was again featured with long distance shipments. Il cars of good Oregon cattle selling at S8.25 to $8.35, 1, 200 to l, 1,275 pounds aver age, and 25 cars of i've year old California alfalfa steers brought $7.85, about like the train same cattle here last Thursday at $7.90, but a little lighter, 1,250 pounds average. Plain fleshy feeders, ,150 to 1,250 pounds, sold at $8.1 to $8.30, and some suitable for a quick finish in the feed lot sold to killers at S9. Stock steers sell up to S8.25, bulk at $7 to S7,75. Quality of stockersand feeders is improving, the supply is larger and there is an immense demand develop ing. In the quarantine division 112 cars arrived, and sold steady to weak. Some good fed steers from north Texas sold in the quarantine division at $8 to S8.60, Oklahoma grass steers largely at $6 to $7.25.
 Hogs sold 5 to 10 higher today, receipts only $500 head. Tops sold at S7.32 1-2, to order buy CTS, packers paying $7.27 1-2, bulk of sales $6.60 to SIPS. The supply has been light for a week, bU Omaha and Chicago have been getting good runs. The statement has been made in some quarters that the common price for hogs will go to six dol lars, in view of evidences at hand that hog raising is now on large scale with fewer disease losses than formerly.
 Sheep and lambs made good gains last week, and are strong CT today, receipts 5000 head, all natives. Lambs sold at $S. 75 today, but strictly prime vest erns would bring $9 to $9.15. Ewes are selling up to $6.75,

The Third Party

There is saying that "two is com
many and three a crowd" It is not un-
true in the case Of newly engaged lovers,
or of two people who have something
10 discuss that only concerns Themselves,
but It Is not to be taken as always the
rule.
For sometimes the presence OF third
person keeps off those hasty and foolish
little storms In teacups that spoil the
happiness Of sweethearts,
They cannot very wen say bitter or un-
kind things to one another before an
other person. And by the time that third
person has lett them, they have probably
reconsIdered matters and come to bet
ter frame of mind.
Indeed, II a third person is tactful and
unsel1sh enough to withdraw quietly
when no longer needed, there is much
use and a decided helpfuness in his or
her presence, even when It is be-
slowed upon two devoted lovers. A
breath of outside interest is no bad thing
in the atmosphere of love.

Increased attention is now being given
to larger shapes in millinery. This
doesn't necessarily mean that the small
shapes will be put in the background.
But II will bring about a better assort-
mont of medium and large styles.
The sailor shape is very popular and
the tendency is for it to grow larger in
size. Tho fiat, wido-brimmed sailors are
very much to the fore at present. and so
are the sailors tilted at various angles to
suit the face. a very smart style Is the
sailor with the uptilt at the back.
The better class hats are made in fine,
soft milan. For the smart knock-about

TRAINING UP
A FIANCEE
By
ELLEN ADAIR
The Failure of the Scheme

I Indignant. she considered that such a
speech was tho mark of strong and
wonderful character. She started in
patiently to study that impossible little
man. Sho gave up the pleasant society
OF most Of her friends for his sake. Sne
| endured all sorts OF lmpertlnences and
minor insults from him cheerfully. In
fact, It is an open question whether she
ever did see either the impertinence or
the insult OF his attitude toward herself.
Ihe engagement dragged out for the
promised Ave years And at the end Of
the allotted period the happy eeupie were
married. BY this time. of course. the lit
tie bride had all OF her initiative and most
of her spirits driven out Of her Five
years of training" is long time. and
only the very long suffering could ever
survive any such course.
Unfortunately however the marriage
was n very unhappy one. How could 1t
be otherwise? II is true that the bride
had learnt the worst about her gallant
bridegroom. But even worm will turn
at last-and she did turn. 10 all out
ward appearances she was the meekest
little soul that ever walked this sinful
earth. But the process of educating
had really been too much for her. And
after about three months OF connubial
bliss, she cleared out OF that home never
to return.
The husband was much annoyed. But
he refused to run after her. 1T is a
direct insult to my method of training"
said he to his friends, land nothing will
induce me to overlook such n slight.
why, I spent the FIVE best years of my
life in molding her will to mine. And l
thought that I had succeeded so well.
But women arc sly even the best of
them! Never again will 1 trust woman.
No. nothing would induce me to agree to
a reconciliation! l haven't the heart to
start in training her again"
Most other instances OF this form OF
training" have ended disastrously. Very
few ever reach the stage of matrimony
at all, by the way. For long before the
altar is reached, the unfortunate damsel
is scared off. And small wonder that
this should be the easel
For. after all, the one great essential
in matrlmony Is love. And love includes
forbearance, kindllness and a very broad
charity for any little faults on the part
OF the other.

The long engagement is frequently cited
as period Of ecstatlc joy and OF unmiti-
gated bliss, the minor qusrrels and dis
agreements which. Of course, do OCCASION
ally occur being looked upon as merely
tie very necessary rift I'm the Joyous iute
OF perpetual love-maklng.
While it is perfectly true that the period
Of the long engagement ought to be a
very happy time, the reverse side OF the
picture is too often seen. But the fault
in this instance lies not so much In the
fact that the engagement is n long one,
but in the disposition Of the would-be
happy couple who have presumably given
their promises and their professions of
eternal love TO each other.
Human nature is a curious thing. 1t
breaks out in the most unexpected places
and In the most curious ways. And love
certainly has the oldest manifestations.
I heard an odd tale once concerning a
man who was engaged to n very charm
ing girl But he didn't realize that fact
a bit. Not he! After he had duly pro-
posed TO her and been accepted, he told
her that they would probably have very
long engagement-fve years at the low
est estimate.
But my dear" said he cheerfully,
''that's something to be rather glad about,
since shall regard 1t as time of pro-
baton for you. I intend to spend the
ave years training you for the position
or my wife. hope that you will make
an apt pupil. for I shall spare no pains
In teaching you my ways and methods.

ment at an end But let us trust that
nothing so unfortunate will occur. If you
resolve now to devote yourself entirely
to me, and to study my every mood and
to strive perpetually TO please me in
everything, taking criticism and advice
in the spirit in which It is meant,
think that you need have nothing to fear
In the way of an ultimate rupture of our
relations"
And the extraordinary thing about the
aforementioned harangue was that tho
little fiancee meekly listened to every
word Instead OF being amazed, furious.

Does Love Come to All?

Surely he does, or else tho world were
indeed r. place of injustice and hard
ship.
But many, alas. do not perceive him
until too late. It may be that the man
ner of their wooing is so shy, so wrapped
in awkwardness, that they never know
that the luckless wooer means anything
more than ordinary friendship.
1t is tragic when this happens. for
there might have been happiness on both
sides, since a shy man is by no means
the least desirable of mates.
Therefore, it is true that practically no
girl can say that she has never met love
on her way through life, IL she is a
normally placed person who is not buried
in a remote and manless wilderness or so
uncomfortably shy as TO flee from r.
masculine presence as she would from a
tiger.

So He Lets Phillips Off
With Fine of $500

"Any man who volunteers for the

low In his makeup. You are fortu-
nate to be a member Of the navy, and
especially Of the submarine hotilla,
for II you were civilian you could

Thus spoke Circuit Judge Ashford
to p. w. Phillips OF the submarine flo
tilla this morning, before the latter
was sentenced to pay a fine Of $500
for failing to render aid to a man in
iured by an automobile.
Phillips was indicted by the terri

he was at the wheel Of an automobile

Those in the automobile drove on and
did not assist the injured man, It is

Because he was man of the navy,

that Phillips might have gotten a fine
