IT DEPENDS ON THE "FINEES'.
IfNnr- Ilndnn MesSlnunr-

The doctrine that what the people
DO is right IS becoming more in vogue
every day. Next week il San Fran
cisco a board on which wholesaler. re-
taller. fisherman. and consumer will
be represented meets TO fix the price
OF fish. Both the maximum price and
the amount to be apportioned among
the different interests will be arranged
The Society of Equity has recently
sent word TO the farmers to hold their
wheat until it commands s1.60 per
tushel and 10 do the same with the
other grains in proportion. This move.
IL is represented. is because Of the
methods used by stock manipulators TO
force down the price Of grain to such
an extent that the farmer does not re-
ceive a fair price for his products.
This is in line with the movement
OF the Industrial Workers OF the World
to fix the price of laborSiR the western
harvest fields. TIC those who happen
to occupy azdife-en, frame Of mind
than their own, they use variety of
simple expedients 20 ,hanCe II. If the
strange phenomenon is laborer they
hurl him from a train or beat him TO
the point of death. If it is merely a
farm owner or resident of a town thru
which they are journeying they place
a small stick OF dynamite under the
dwelling place of the daring free
thinker.
Still the world goes on IN the same
manner. No one raises the cry o.
monopoly or unreasona bic restraint Of
trade or Illegal fixing of prices. For
there is no corporation involved. II
capitalists had begun any Of these
movements. then the people would rise
in their righteous indignation and de-
mand that the maiefactors. be ,appre-
hended and punished. Anti trust. anti
monopoly and all kinds of anti legs-
lation would be invoked to protect the
rights Of suffering humanity. But
now il is the people that are working
towards good end, and SO no matter
how evi! may be the means used, they
are justifable.

A HOSPITAL OR A MAuSOLEUM?

Last week the city OF Ames was
made the recipient of a SIS. 900 nos
pital, the gift Of Capt ". NJ. Greeley,
phiIanthropic citizen who built the
hospital as a memorial to his wife
The gift was conditional only in that
the city agree 20 keep up the hospital
in fitting manner and keep il open
at all times to people OF all sects and
creeds.
Capt. Greeley has not only performed
an act Of philanthropy and memorial
lied his wife but has made for himself
a lasting pleasure and satisfaction
while he lives. He will pass the hos
pital day after day with a feeling OF
personal satisfaction such as is 10 be
gained only by doing unto others that
which weakness demands of right from
the strong. Without doubt ne had in
mind mainly the doing OF good deed
for the sake Of her who had departed
II was a garland on his wife's grave:
but he can not escape or avoid a per-
sonal satisfaction more than ne can
avoid the thanks and apprecia ton OF
MS community and Of those who shell
ter within the walls OF the refuge he
created
Greeley stands distinc. from the GER
tain rich men who die sitting On their
moneybags, distrustful of all who ap-
proach and adding greedny to hoard
already TOO great for happiness.
Greeley is gaining the great sat!sfac-
ton OF seeing with living eyes what
kind Of work the money he must leave
behind will be doing after he is dead
and gone. He is enjoying his own
philanthropy. One Of the reasons men
refuse TO retire from active business,
one Of the strongest fears that men
connect with death is that they must
De out OF L., that their time Of &C
cornplishmenC is over, that others
shall do what they desired 10 do and
finish what they had begun Greeley
mas HH!sAeo one task completed an
accomplishment. His hospital will go
10 work under his own eyes and ne
knows that it viii continue doing for
him the things he desired 10 have done
when he has departed.
Men are forgotten quickly. Wha,
they do for themselves dies with them.
But philanthropic public service lives
on to keep their memory green thru
generations. The rich mans millions
are scattered in day TO eager hands
that wait impatiently for them. A tall
shaft or a massive mausoleum Is no
pledge to kindly and loving remem-
| brance: often it is a mere curiosity In
steel and marble at which passersby
glance with no thought of the dust
| that lies within it. But a good deed

it endures
Other men who crave memorials fol

MOUNTAIN AIR
BY WALT MASON

Dried up and baked on windswept
plains, too long unvisited by rains. to
me the mountains called: and !ndorse
the mountain air, which tones the
nerves, restoring hair to heads that
long were bald. When l to Colorado
came, so many ailments racked my
frame, that life was but a grief; had
hay fever and a cold. and all the dope
the druggists sold afforded no RELIEF.
i had the string halt and the heayes-
none Of my ills were make-belieyes-
I had ingrowing nails; ] had bog spav-
ms on my knees, but I've forgotten ali
disease, among these hills and Wales.
tAfar from all the roar of towns, Walk.
I'm khaki handmedowns. my stan pine
trees branch: I bIithely scale these
western Alps, and ride the avaiancne.
The mountain air tonic Is, 1t makes
the vital current whiz along an Old
gents veins: it makes his tagging step
grow bold. and makes him think mes
ten year. old. and banishes his pains.

the Purse.

The newest ostrich run Is n OF UNI
curled fronds. This sort is a bit ex-
pensive, but very soft and beautiful.
Two shades or colors of ostrich are
often combined. White is used with
any color-blue or brown or green or
black. Tan, too, is combined with col
ors. Sometimes just the tips of some
of the fronds are white, or tan.
Some Of the new ruffs are made or
taffeta silk, made into points, many
of them, and arranged in a full collar
about the throat. These are stiff, but
very becoming to some persons. they
too. are more durable than tulle.
Tulle, however, is made into so many
charming ruffs that it is difficult to re-
sist them even on the score of frag-
ility. Some of them are made of dou-
BILE puffs of the tulle. Sometimes the
tulle has big chenille 'dots-white on a
colored ground.
Soft satin ribbon Is shirred into very
becoming and graceful ruffs. Like all
ruffs of the season, these are not very
long.

When Making Jam.

When making jam or marmalade try
the following, a much asier way
than the old-fashioned one, which re-
quires a great amount of stirrings 2"a-
pare the fruit as usual when making
jelly, and after boiling it just long
enough to release the juice pour it into
a colander and let it stand five or ten
minutes. Remove the juice which has
run through, and after working the
pulp through put three cupfuls of
the Juice and the same amount of
sugar into a large shallow pan. Allow
this to boil violently until it will jell
when tested. Then add one and one
half cupfuls of the pulp and one-half
cupful of sugar. Stir while this boils
about five OIL eight minutes and 1t is
done. The result is the same as that
obtained by the old method, and the
work is not one-third as great and
there is much less danger of scorching.

They are not clasSed among the fads

FOR LAST DAYS OF SUMMER
Popular Costumes Before the Fall A.
tire Has Been Decided On and
Definitely Donned.

Most popular among the young girls,
for the summers ending, are either
skirts of white, pale blue or pale pink
and mauve flannel, both with and with
out round, white pearl buttons and
patch pockets, made very short length,
showing stockings to match. With
these are worn finely frilled blouses of
matching color, felt hats, also the same
color, and worn or carried with these
costumes are closely knitted silk scarfs
in purple and white, gray or black.
The slimness of most of the young
er set allows them to e and set off
to advantage slip-on sweaters of loose
ly knitted wool, lin colors of gray, old
rose and lavender, white, blue and
pink. Some of these are sleeveless
and many are held in at the waistline
by a single piece of wool tied in a bow
in the center front; this must be re-
newed each time the sweater is worn.
Many short red flannel jackets are
being worn with white cotton skirts
and black sailor hats.

Rare Breed.

Teddy is the joy of a North Hill
neighborhood, not or ccou of his
ancestry, because Teddy is Il dog of
varied ~antecedents, but because he is
one of the best-natured and most high
ly accomplished "purps" imaginable.
To be plain and frank, Teddy is a
mongrel. and this fact was conveyed
TO n little boy who urged his father
to get him a dog just like him.
The little boy knew Teddy was a
mongrel, but his idea of what mon
grel" NEAR was surprising when re-
vealed to his father.
"What kind of a dog would you
like?" the father questioned when he
finally consented to make the pur.

the floral design which appears upon

SONS and leaves worked in various
shades of green.
For suspending the calendar from a
nail in the wall, a loop of ribbon with
a rosette bow at the top is attached to
the upper part, and at the points where
the ends of the ribbon are sewn ON
there are two more rosettes.
Diagram B shows the way the back
of the calendar is arranged. Behlud
each opening a pocket is sewn on, and
into these pockets cards can be slipped
bearing numbers and the names of the
months. Both sides of the cards can
be used and it is an easy matter to
turn round the calendar and alter the
date each day.

Dress Hints,

Collars have grown a bit shorter
over the shoulders and a bit longer
down the back in fact. they are some
thing like sailor collars, but just
enough different to be new.
The girl who can braid clever'y and
neatly will have ample work to do, for
the garments of milady of fashion are
to be braided or embroidered over
many an inch at the juncture of diff
ferent materials and for bands and
ornamentation in general.
That skirts are to be longer will be
II great relief to many and a sad blow
to- the woman with trim ankles. Yes,
they are to be but a paltry five inches
from the ground, and after the ten
we have grown accustomed to they will
make us all appear most unusually

Non.sIlpplna Shoes for Babies.

One of the first difficulties which at
tend baby's first lessons in walking is
the slippery nature Of most little shoe
soles. To safeguard the little fellow,
there are made shoes which have nom
slip, d~isk-protected soles. The little
rubber insets insure non-slipping con-
tact with the floor. The shoes have
the further merit of being shaped to
fit the foot without cramping or dis
torting the toes. They are made in
several kinds of leather or of a combi-
nation of materials, such as black pat
ent leather bottoms and white calf up

are r~eappearing in the new fall mod
els. In the skirt shown, a shaped band
about the hips serves a double purpose,
as 1t decorates and also provides a
place for two pockets.
Skirts of this kind are worn with
plain waists of crepe de chine or of
cotton materials. The combination of
plaid skirt aud plain colored coat, to
match the dominant color of the skirt,
is among the best of the new show
ings for fall. The well-tailored sepa-
rate skirt is a Joy to its pOssessor and
gives months of good service. For
the coolest weather long heavy coats
will replace the coats to match, which
are designed for immediate wear.

Baked Onions.

Peel as many good, firm medium
sized onions as the size of your family
will require. Put them into a sauce
pan and parboil until tender, not done.
Remove and drain water carefully off.
Then place in a deep baking dish, close
enough together so that they will just
swell. Season with salt, pepper and
a few tiny pieces of butter. Cover
with a layer of finely rolled bread
crumbs, drop two or three pieces of
butter on these, pour over all one cup
full of cream or rich milk and bake un-
til the crumbs are a rich golden brown.
Bake in a moderate oven. Remove

plain or with a white sauce.

removal of her coat disCloses her finery
in these thin materials, sometimes
hand embroidered, more often machine
embroidered, and often finished off, in
either case, with fancy ~needlework
stitches. In the summertime her frilled
bonnet is much like her dress, and in
winter time it is apt to match her coat.
The little frock pictured above is of
machine-enbroidered batiste in a fine
quality. Among the embroidered flounc-
ings there are many patterns that
seem made especially for children'S
dresses. The flower designs are dainty
and the work fine. Such a pattern is
needed for the little dress shown here.
Frills are set In the short sleeves and
they are made of the same ~flouncing
as that used in the skirt. The skirt is
set to a short baby waist, and what lit
tie needlework there is, is done by
hand.
The finest of organdie edgings and
flouncings are used for making those
dressy bonnets, with double frills about
the face, that have n permanent place
in style for little children.
The bonnet shown has a puffed
crown and is trimmed with a soft

as a rule, of white satin, and stand
about two and one-half inches.

the collars are almost as large around
as those wide standing collarettes of
