A man well equipped with civic pride
and laudable ambition Is valuable
asset to any community. In the per
son of II. P Gassman, surgeon IN chief
at the shoe hospital, Hays, has such a
citizen. This ambitious, progressive
gentleman has recently added to his a.
ready well equipped establishment, a
new mailer. Many of you have seen
certain kinds of slot machines, and
the machinery at work, and marvele1
at the ingenuity Of the individual who
could invent such a wonderful instru-
ment, so intricate In its numerous parts
and so perfect in its accomplishment OF
the ends desired. Just so it is with
this new mailer which can be set IN
dozen different forms by the simple
turning OF a switch, movement OF
key or twisting OF a knob. 1t does its
work accurately and beautifully, and
with a speed scarcely beIevable. 1t
seems that If Mr. Gassman has not
every piece of up-to-date machinery IN
his hospital, necessary for first class
shoe building and repairing, that piece
has not yet been invented. All OF his
machinery Is run by electric motors,
the work is turned out IN a swift, neat,
and most substantial manner while yoa
wait.

Thriving Industry.

Enlightened foreigners travelling
through this country have often mar
veled at the number of middle-aged
women who patiently devote years to
the study of acting or painting or
music without showing any signs OF
advancement. The most tireless per-
sistency, cheered by an unfailing op-
timsm, is exhibited by those students
of singing, who are preparing Tor
grand opera but who have never
been heard to sing. Formerly these
naive ones were the exclusive prey Of
those Italians who are the acknowl-
edged masters in the varied arts or
craft and guile that are closely aIlle0
with the profession of teaching. An
instructor of this kind is also
an actor, whose face wears the
mask of polite Indifference and bore
dom until his prospective pupil lifts
her voice, then swiftly ecstasy illu-
mines his features. why, oh, why,
he cries, did you not come to me
before? To think that such magni-
ficeJ organ as yours should be ruined
By bad instruction! 1t will take years
to rebuild it. Well, if you have pa
thence the world will acclaim you as
the new Adelina Patti" OF late this
method of instruction has become
horne industry, our native teachers
having improved on the Latins by
stipulating that the pupil must not
permit even her most intimate friends
or nearest of blood kin to hear her
sing. Thus, the fact that she has
voice like that of a crow can be kept
secret until wisdom comes to her.
Then the lessons will cease Iutomatic-
ally.

Zulu characteristics,

It is a recognized fact that the
Zulu tribe is one of the finest in
southern Africa. The Zulu has a
sturdy frame, a strong chest, wonder
full digestion, magnificent teeth, and
fine muscles. He can stand hunger,
fatigue and exposure. While he is
slow to adopt modern methods of
tillage, irrigation and fertilizing, he
Is beginning to recognize their advan-
tages. His hospitality, indifference to
pain, sense of humor, good temper,
love of children, and trustworthiness
are all good traits in his character.
He is a manly specimen, not a cring-
ing toady, and, in his natural state, a
gentleman, every bit of him. In gen.
eral, he is law-abiding and obedient,
and he is not purposely cruel. He has
strong musical sense, and a remark
able knowledge Of time and rhythm
His powers of singing, even when but
slightly trained, are extraordinary
The Zulu knows a good deal about
some things, but what he does not
know of what to the white man are
matters of common, everyday knowl-
edge, is appalling. His instructor is
always running up against a high
brick wall Of stupendous ignorance

WAITE AWAITING DEATH
CUTS SELF WITH GLASS

Sing Sing Prison, N. Y, July %
DR.. Arthur Warren Waite, awaiting
electrocution here for the murder of
his father-in-law, John E. Peck of
Grand Rapids, Mich, was found in
his cell in the death house" Tuesday
night bleeding from wound in his
chest made in the shape Of cross.
The prisoner had cut himself with a
piece of broken glass.
How Waite obtained possession of
the glass could not be explained. 1t
is presumed that when he was taken
out for exercise in the courtyard he
picked it up when the vigilance of his
guard was relaxed and concealed it
until he returned to his cell
Waite was removed to the prison
hospital but he steadfastly refused
to answer questions. The prison au-
thorities believe if he had intended
to kill himself he would have in
ficted the wound elsewhere than on
his chest. The injury is not serious
A strict watch will be kept on Waite
when he returns to the death house.

resolution No. 6 is capable OF voting

When the republicans and socialists
of the state deliberately take a stand
against this resolution they are delib-
erately taking a stand against the
safeguarding of the ballot in Oklaho-

want the ballot safeguarded. 1t Is not
to their selfish political interests that
it should be. Quite naturally they
would like to see Oklahoma pass from

in the range of political possibilities

THRIFT TALK,
HOME AND ITS
SURROUNDINGS
CLEAN UP - REMEMBER THE
BACK YARD is A GOOD INDlCA-
TlON OF WHAT YOU WILL FIND
IN THE BEDROOM.

The home and its surroundings is an
outward expression of the character
of its occupants. The back yard is a
good indication of what you will find
in the bedroom. No matter how
humble the home, if it is clean and
neat, it is attractive, for the same
reason that no matter how poor a
mans clothes may be, if he is neat
with all his poverty, he will not be
unbecoming.
As you go around the city you will
find little homes that typify all that is
desirable in home life. 1t may be
only a cottage, with its walks, its
flower beds and its garden, the vines
carefully trained. the trees pruned, the
house painted the fence in good re-
pair, the gate with latch and you
conclude that this man is a man of
thrift, and he is You would natural
ly expect to find bank book some
where in the house, and the house
as clean as the yard And you would,
for bank books come out of we'll kept
houses.
On the contrary, if you find an air
of neglect and decay, the fence falling
down, the walks full Of weeds, the
garden implanted, chickens running
around loose, and a general air of
don't care about the place, you con-
clude that this is a home without
thrift. And it Is. Inside such a house
you will find dirt and disorder holding
forth from cellar to garret, and you
don't expect to find bank book there
in, and the chances are you won't.
Dirt accumulates. The winter in
dolence finds expression in the ash
pile the junk heap and the back yard.
All over the land cities have been
having a clean up week, when each
citizen has been urged to destroy all
winter accumulations and clean up
generally. 1t is a most excellent idea;
but homes and cities like individuals
need constant cleaning to keep them
sweet. The eye needs constant wash
ing to keep it from injury. The body
needs constant attention to keep it
wholesome. The back yard needs con-
stant weddings, hoeing, digging, to
keep it presentable. The front lawn
needs constant moving to keep 1t
green and fresh. life is only one
battle with dirt-an endless fight, but
only as the fight goes on continually
can we win out.
A city's outward appearance adver-
tises the character of the inhabitants
as effectively as the home surround
ings index the spirit of the indwellers.
In the development of cities. and the
tearing up for betterments, there must
be minor disturbances to the orderly
arrangement, but there is no reason
why every town should not be a
spotless town and every home the
essence of order and cleanliness. The
home that is neglected is the home
that has begun to decay. Your neigh
bors will not see the inside of your
house half as often as they do the
outside, and they will judge the in
side and you by the looks of the out
side. Therefore, clean up, and keep |
cleaning up, for thrift is applied good
and good management
applied to good things is thrift. You
first. then your home, then your city.

WORLD 8 BEST
BEEF IS SOUTH
Of EQUATOR
PACKER LAUDS PRODUCT OF
URUGUAY AND ARGENTINA
PASTURES-REA U. S. IN
PERFECT CONDITION.

Kansas City, Mo, July 25.-The
finest beef in the world is produced
in Argentina and Uruguay, it was as
serted yesterday by Matt S. Robin
son, for several years superintendent
of a packing plant at Montevldeo.
MIR. Robinson, who is here visiting his
wife's father, j. Scott HARRISON takes
exception to recent statements that
of meat from South Ameri-
ca have arrived in this country dam
aged by the use o; artificial preser-
vvatvevs.
There is no truth In such reports,
said Mr.. Robinson yesterday. las a
matter of fact, the refrigerating sys-
TENS in use aboard ship are much su-
perior to the refrigerator cars in
which meat is shipped from one point
to another on land. The .carcasses
arrive in perfect condition in New
York from South America.
"The chilled meat is clothed in
very closewoven, strong white mus
lin bags. The ships spaces are in
spected by Lloyd's surveyor as to
temperature and cleanliness, and
must be approved by him or insur-
ance cannot be obtained. Inspections
then are made by government meat
inspectors and lastly by responsible
packing house employees, whose po-
sitions depend upon the meat arrv-
ing at its destination in good condi-
ton.
Barred by Slightest Stain.
should muslin bag in which the
meat is wrapped show even blood
stain or the imprint or mans hand
1t is not allowed to become a part of
the cargo
"On arrival at an American port
the meat is again inspected, this time
by United States government agents.
The South American product is treat
ed in manner no different from that
accorded the home killed carcasses.
There has been an isolated case or
two of formaldehyde being used as a
preservative without authority by
ships captain anxious to get his car
go into port in perfect condition.
Full reports along this line are to
be found in the records of the United
States bureau of animal industry
which are open to the public. The
cases are more frequent than are
found in the shipping of meat within
the limits of the United States"
Mr. Robinson believes importation
from South America will solve for
this country the problem of the con
stantly mounting price of fresh meat.
Sufficient ships are now available
for this traffic, because of the war,
but when normal transportation con
ditions are restored Uruguay and Ar
gentina will furnish the American
packers with keen competition in our
own markets, he says.
Cattle Fattened in Pasture.
The superiority of South American
beef is due to the fact that the cattle
are fattened lin camp" which means
in pastures, instead of being penned
up in stalls.
Mr.. Robinson has resigned his
Montevideo position and will go into
business for himself in this country,
but he says he believes the people |
ought to know the truth about South !
American dressed meat Even South |
American mutton is delicious he
says, as it lacks the strong taste |
which usually puts sheep meat into
disfayor
