understanding is promised. This
leads many newspapers to remark
very justly that much industrial fric-

labor could come into closer person

The idea has grown up among
many wealthy manufacturers and
their families that factory town is
not a good place for their residence.
They prefer a city where there is
more high society. The mill town.

among unfortunate employees.

They might start in angry, but con-

never listen personally to the story

story sounds very differently when
heard at second hand.

PREPARE NOW FOR DEAR
EGGS NEXT FALL

II the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are certain
to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them
at once, say the poultry specialists
in the department OF agriculture.
The way to have eggs late in the
year is to hatch pullets early. 1t is
the early matches from which the
early pullets are derived that are
the largest money makers for the
poultry producer. The early hatch.

THE HABIT OF
IDlENESS

In the testimony being given the
Federal Commission on Industrial
Relations, the original ideas of Hen
ny Ford, the millionaire automobile
maker, are prominent. The basic
principle in Mr.. Ford's philosophy
is the gospel of work, and he attrib.
utes most modern evils to idleness
In every town where there are
sons of perpetual rest, who ornament
curbstones and park benches, and
slou.h around saloons and railroad
stations. It takes only little mon
ely to finance these shiftless children
OF the lazy sunshine. Handouts OF
old clothes cover their nakedness,
and odd jobs now and then keep
them from starvation.
Work is usually an acquired taste.
Boys rarely have It. As manhood
comes on. the youth perceives that
the prizes OF lie are reached only
through persistent industry. The
drone has q different standard. His
contemplative ruminant leisure suits
him best of all He would like hous-
es and lands If they came as free
gift, but he would not pay the price
OF labor and effort.
lie may once have tried to take
his place among the worlds work
ers. But never having formed the
habit of industry. he became easily
discouraged at few failures
Mr.. Ford is right, and human fiber
decays fast on the park bench. Man
was built to toll and serve and climb,
against difficulties, and against the
natural human love for ease.
How to put ambition into boys who
by temperament are idle and indol.
ent, is the heart of the problem. Back
on the farms the boys never used
TO Gcquire the habit of ideness.
Work became second nature. In
towns there Is often no WORK easily
available for boy to do. But work
can be had by those who are deter.
mined to find it.
Parents who allow boy to grow
up without regular tasks take
chances that he may drift into the
grey decay Of idleness. His regular
hour or two at carrying papers, hoe
ing the garden. or saving the wood
are just as important as those he
spends in school.

Senator Kern, the majority leader to
night, land expect to make progress

In denouncing his Democratic co..
leagues, Senator Stone held the SEN
ators through the lunch hour and
attracted scores of members of the
house, who crowded in the rear of
the room. He charged the seven
members with open hostility to their
party and declared that they had
Joined an unholy alliance with the
enemy. The Missouri senator also
made vigorous defense OF President
Wilson and the administration, as
sorting that he would rather follow
his leadership than that OF "Elihu
Root, Henry Cabot Lodge, Theodore

cob Gallinger, or any recreant a.leg-

Plea For cloture
Senator Thomas of Colorado made

Alabama legislature announcing the

THE LESSONS OF NAVAL
BATTLEs

The recent action in the North Sea

sells OF the dreadnaught class, and
the result strengthens the faith OF
those naval experts who have stout
ly maintained that great battleships
are the ones with which to win great
battles and gain command OF the
ocean.
It must be admitted that until the
recent fight the concensus OF opinion
had been running the other way be.
cause Of the activity Of submarines
and the ease with whi.h they had
sunk some big cruisers and bait e.
ships. But apparently for deep sea
work the dreadnaughts far outclass
other vessels This lies in their pow
erful build great speed, heavy ar.
NOR, and guns of heaviest calibre by
which they are able to outrange the
guns of smaller ships.
One striking fact in all the sea
fights that have taken place In the
present war is the great disparity in
killed and wounded between victors
and vanquished. That was to be ex.
pected in cases where ships were
torpedoed by submarines or sunk by
mines, but II has been the same In
instances in which ships fought each
other in the open. 1t was seen In
the German victory off Coronel, and
in the British victories off the Falk.
land Islands and the North Sea. The
greater power of the guns of the vic
tors riddled the ships of the vanquish-
ed, sending them to the bottom with
terrible loss of life, while the win.
ming side lost scarcely a man.
In the great fight in the North Sea |
in 1897, between the English and |
Dutch fleets near Camperdown, and |
not far from where the recent battle
was fought, the contest was simple
enough. The ships came to close
quarters and 1t was a case of which
could pound the hardest, Plus skill
IN maneuve-ing the ships. Mines.
.orpedoes, submarines and other de-
'tructive forces were unknown. But
n the latest fight the vessels were
niles apart and the combatants could
scarcely see each other with the max
ID eye. Still, while the ships are
lifferent and the methods OF warfare
re also different, there is yet the
.wlul loss of life.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS

Il. r Kurrle, who is at Excelsior
proving rapidly and gaining in
weight. The weather there has been
very hot and lots of rain. Excelsior
Springs is widely known place as
seen from the following taken from
Mr. kurrle's letter:
This is quite a resort and one can
see all kinds and classes of people
from many states. who are here to
get the benefits of the curative waters
When l see all the different people,
some OF them crippled with rheuma
tism and other ailments, some of
whom are unable to walk and have
to be wheeled about, I then consider
myself fortunate in not being in such
condition. Since my last visit here
four. years ago. 1 find many improve
ments, many new buildings going up.
Excelsior Springs has 5000 inhabi-
tants and the visitors to the place an
nually are placed at 100000. There
are no factories or other concerns
here, and the inhabitants practically
live off the tourists. There are three
large hotels here with 500 rooms,
and something like 200 rooming and
boarding houses. One is not held up
here as is usually the rule in many
health resorts. and one can get room
and board from $500 a week up to
$500"

THE DENVER MARKETS

IhE DEN v TN ENaNNHh'
Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. IL.
Receipts OF cattle last week on this
market were liberal. Demand was fair
butprices at all markets took tum-
BILE and this market went on 10 TO
Csc. Notwithstanding the decline
prices here continue higher than
those east. One bunch of cattle bid
here at s67o went on and sold at
$3.50, and several others shared
like fate. Today, with 2,3GO cattle
on sale, the market was 10 to 15c
lower. Good beef steers are selling
at s6.75 to 1925, and fancy kinds sold
last week up to $3.50. Good cows
are bringing $3.50 to $6.25 and plain
er cows from $3.50 down. Feeder
and stocker demand is limited as yet
but another two weeks of warm
weather will insure one of the big
gest corn crops in the history of the
corn belt country and in the event of
such a crop demand for feeders is eX-
pected to be very strong. Regardless
of srosts there will be a good average
crop and there is world of rough
feed everywhere. Stockmen are
short on cattle in western Kansas and
Nebraska as we'll as in other sections
and are going to have stock to eat
the feed Dealers, therefore antici-
pate big demand for feeding cattle
when the trade opens up. In order
to steer clear of the danger of disease
and of quarantine regulations many
eastern feeders will come to Denver
to buy this fall and the trade here
is looking for the biggest business on
record in all classes of cattle.
Hog demand was good and prices
are higher than week ago, good
hogs today selling at $3.50 to S7.S5.
The top load Of hogs came from
Hulett & Son we'll known cattlemen
of Craig, Colo. Most of the ship
ments today came from the west,
elSuI CdTlOduS arriving lTOH ludIO
points. The demand is strong here,
light weight hogs having the best
call
Sheep demand was good and the
market active, although prices are a
little lower than a week ago. Total
receipts last week wer, $1,000 head
and 5000 head arrived today. The
demand was good both for fat sheep
and lambs and for feeders as well,
and several eastern buyers are al
ready here to purchase feeding sheep
and lambs for their customers.
Everything offered is selling readily
and the market is in good shape.
Demand all fall is expected to be big
here and an active trade is antici-
pated. Good lambs are selling at
$500 to 1925, and feeder lambs sold
during the week at $3.50 to 1910,
freight paid. Good ewes are bring
ing $4.75 to $5.25.
