ICE KINGS IN SECRET CoNFAB-
PRICE RISE LIMITED
A sharp eye is being kept on the
ice kings Of Chicago by govt inves-
tigators. It has leaked out that Fred
Upham, head of Consumers Com
pany, and other millionaire ice hogs
have been holding secret conferences
in loop hotels for the past two or
three weeks.
OF course, Uphsm, who Just about
tells up how much we're going to pay
for ice and coal, denies that prices
have been even mentioned by the ice
hogs at these conferences. He also
denies the consistent rumor that the
giant Consumers Co. has been busily
engaged in grabbing of smaller com
panies for the last six months.
From one man it has been learned
that Upham and the other big fell
lows have been organizing a combine
to be known as the ice exchange"
and that all dealers will have to get
into this. This exchange would re-
suit in solid lineup Of the ice COM
panies and could just about charge
what they wflled.
But Upham, who viii also be re-
membered as national treasurer of
the Hughes campaign fund, and
others say the exchange win only
handle labor problems and cost prob
lens. However, others, not inclined
to bunk optimism, predict that this
coming year the people viii be stung
for a 100 per cent increase in the
price Of ice.
Following are the latest important !
developments in the fight on the cost
of living:

PENCIL IN HIS MOUTH
Manhattan Druggists Peculiar Habit
Leads to Valuable Invention.

Going about his work with a pencil
in his mouth would not suggest to the
average individual any principle of
Importance other than the convenient
method OF keeping the mouth closed
and the pencil always available. But
to F. X. Smith, formerly of Herring
ton, now of Manhattan, the very fact
that the instrument of wood and
graphite placed horizontally with the
ends extending out either side Of the
mouth, held the lips together SO tight
ly was a revelation.
Hence the story of his discovery and
invention, the S. & T. Truss. Smith
conceived the idea that if the pencil
so placed would draw the lips together
then why not apply the same principle
to the retention of the walls or lips of
an abrasion of the abdomen.
He worked out his invention. He
fitted several of his trusses on friends
who needed them. To the satisfaction
of the inventor and the surprise of the
patients, the Pencil Pad truss work.
ed. 1t held the walls together and
gave them a chance to heal.
Simple as is the principle upon
which his truss is made the results
have been phenomenal and keeps the
little druggist busy. While conduct
ing a splendid pharmacy in Manhat-
tan he is contemplating devoting his
entire time to the manufacture and
fitting of the truss.

RESULTS SEEN ON FARMS.
Aggie Demonstrations Are Successful,
Survey Report Shows.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 23.-That
the farm management demonstrations
conducted by P. E. McNall in cooper
alton with the county agents are
bringing important results is shown
by reports to the division of extension
of the Agricultural college. Last
year a business survey of the farms
around TonganoXie was completed by
Mr.. McNall and p H. Ross, county
agent This year a similar survey has
been made of 70 farms in the same
area, 50 of which were surveyed last
year. OF this number, 16 farms have
records of their years business far
more complete than those of the pre-
vious year
One of the principles shown in this
work is that in order to make good
farm profits, the farming business
must be of a reasonable size. Too
small a farm where general DIVERSE
fled farming is followed is not profit
able. Nine of the farms in this area
had increased the size of their bust
ness by increasing their acreage, as a
result OF the work last year, and will
make a better labor income than with
the smaller business.

PAsrUR1NG DOESN'T KILL FLY.
Farmers Warned to Keep Cattle Off
Wheat Fields by X. S. A. C.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 23.-Kansas
farmers are warned against pasturing
wheat that has made little growth or
any wheat on ground that is wet and
soft.
IF a farmer is short of feed and
the wheat has made a good growth, it
may be pastured," says S. G. Salmon,
associate professor of farm crops in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Under no circumstances. however,
should late sown wheat be pastured.
and wheat should never be pastured
too close nor too late in the spring
Take all stock off the fields when
spring opens up. Conditions should
suggest just how much pasturing
should be done.
Contrary to the opinion of some
farmers, pasturing does not kill the
Hessian fly. Other methods must be
used in the eradication of that pest

the results are known. We are not, strictly speak

tute the most important factor.
Taking all available statistics into account con-
corning crimes against property, ranging from bank

someone pays a penalty which is the whole, three
and one half years at hard labor. But here is some

The 'Reformatory Pillar of St. Cloud, prints
argument that is hard to controvert. While
written from the view point of youthful delinquents
it merges so nicely into the opinion of older delin-
quents that reprint therefrom the following:
When man acts In manly spirit he is most
generally treated like man. And when he chooses
to make fool out of himself he can expect to re-
ceve the of thinking people. The man who
tries to follow the right road will always find it

sometimes seem forbidding 1t offers no induce
mens of ease, of soft going for the traveller. 1t
is often rough and difficult, and lonely Sometimes
it is the narrowest of paths, and again it may be am
pie great highway, thronged with happy and
joyous company, marching along with carefree
song. But to the who is willing to think and
right, there will ample reward for his faith
in the good thought and right endeavor of others.
What does fellow expect when he acts in a
foolish and unreasonable manner. He is losing self
respect and the respect of those around him. They
may laugh at his foolisnness (but remember this)

stop there would not be 80 bad but these NONSENSE

And if these comedians encouraged we will have
to pay OFT the hddler; that means you, me and the
rest of U.S.
If the rule that like produces like is admittedly
infalible, then only good results come from act
ing in the right spirit. You cannot act unreason-
able and expect to profit by such action By acting
in manly spirit paving the way to better
things By acting foolish and unreasonable we are
preparing to lose what we have gained in the past
What is it to be-forward or backward? You, as an
individual, have the opportunity to gain greater
privileges or take away from your fellow inmates
the privileges which they now have. We are not

much of you-is it asking TOO MUCH? 1t only re-
qures little thoughtfulness anda little willingness

Helping Others to Help Themselves

Too often the habit of doing for child the
thing it should do for itself is matter of laziness
the part of the parent rather than indul-
gence. The call comes when the mother thinks she
is too busv to it, and finds it easier do for
the little than for him to do for himself. Then
little by little she becomes his slave. and he grows
to become selfish nuisance to his family and his
friends because his mother neglected to teach him
these important lessons of usefulness and consdera
ton.
The wise mother will not usurp the duties Of
her child, neither will she neglect to help him help
himself She knows the strength of the little chap
and when she it flag is at hand to assist. In
this way he quickly learns mother is a friend in
need, and he soon begins to lend a helping hand
when she is in straits.-Ex.
