FAILURE. AND AREASON

Lest some reactionary herald the discovery
with blare Of trumpets, we hasten to note that
the cooperative packing plant at La Crosse,
Wis. has closed its doors.
"The concern" say press dispatches, "was I'M
able to raise enough capital to run the business
profitably.'
A knockout by the Beef Trust?
Yes, but only featherweight was knocked
out
The La Crosse effort was too small to cope with
the mighty packing monopoly, which used every
devious method known to big business to make
certain that the effort should never grow large
enough to endanger Beef Trust profits.
Cooperation bigger scale is being tried
by the organized farmers of North Dakota.
When they get their packing plant going,
watch out for a real scrap
If the beef trust can put the BIG cooperative
packing plant out Of business then will be the
time for reactionaries to chOrtle over the col
lapse of cooperation.
Not now.

Dear Miss Grey: / would
like to say a few words to w.
c., the bachelor who wrote in
regard to the letter signed
Ruth.
He says many a man and
his wife have lived on $1.25
a day. Well, show me the
one who can do it these days.
Why 1t costs more than that
for a sack of flour, let alone
anything else. Then talk
about saving anything on a
small salary.
When poverty comes in the
window, love goes out the
door. o. s.
Dear Miss Grey: In answer
to Ruth: 1t is the old story
Poverty in at the door, love
out at the window. Poverty
cannot make you dislike your
husband and the father of
your child if you are willing
to share your lot in life as
you agreed to with one an
other at the time of mar
riage. An honest and loving
husband as you state is the
grandest thing a woman can
possess. To idolize you, and
give you all he can earn and
go without himself is true
love and respect, even though
1t be a few pennies. i,

tons Of unsold sugar. The English PEG,

and they win get il il they can.
White sugar is quoted at around 3.75.
b The French government reports that
the sugar tonnage this year will be
somewhat less than last year when it
totaled 10000 tons. The government
has set the price Of sugar at 1905 cents
q pound. -.
. The Agricultural Reporter, Of Bar.
dados, of June Both, says that the much
dreaded drought was broken June goth
and that there is fair prospect for
o good crop of sugar. IL may run
up to $1,000 tons, which, however, is
90 percent short Of what 1t was last
season. ~ -,
II takes 10000 pounds of sugar a
month to feed $4,000 troops, and that
does not include the candy that soldiers
consume. The same number Of soldiers
require ,l0l 200 pounds of flour.
The Great Western Sugar Company,
at Missoula, will produce 500 tons Of
sugar a day for 100 days If everything

IN OUR TOWN

Jesse Gelders, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Though it may not be in order, we
are tempted to :ondone the wild
peranbnlations Ct the sz.called
rolling stone
Yes, we know the proverbs tell
US that he'll gather up no moss,
but since moss is mostly stagnant
we don't think he'll feel the loss.
And the laws of physics show us
that kinetic force is made by a body
that is rolling, even though it rolls
down grade
And the facts in history DEM
onstrate beyond siIhoutte that a
man should take what travelling he
has chance to get.
We remember one old fellow, Ben
Franklin was his name. He rolled
into Philadelphia and there he made
his fame.
But before we travel further in
this little mental spill, we'll admit
that Franklin anchored eer he'd
travelled down the hill.
For rolling stone is powerful
while the roll is being made, but it's
mighty, mighty helpless, at the bot
tom of the grade.

We caution you, step softly, and
try to hold your breath, for some
where in this city, turks form of in
slant death!
It's a fellow who has wallowed in
every form of crime. He's persist
emily in mischief and he's thievinq all
the time.
He's been known to do murder;
he's hardened fire bug; he's a nim-
ble-hngered frisker, and a practiced
Bowery thug!
From Seattle to Savannah he has
spread his bloody fame; he is known
IN every county-and John Doe is
MS name.
He's accompanied in his mischief
wherever he may go, by a crony less
notorious, but meaner-Richard Roe,
Yet tho these men are wicked and
we know they're mighty bad, we are
forced to give them syfnpathy-their
plight is pretty sad.
If Chief Dickson or the sheriff or
justice of the peace, or the prose
cutor's Office has a warrant to re.
ease, and they fail to know the name
of him who's really done the crime
why they'll charge it up to poor John
Doe; he'll suffer every time.
Yes, alas, though he is innocent
they'll hound him just the same, and
If some unknown has done a wrong
why John must take the blame!.
