Like many other bygones of rural life,
it's place in farm wastefulness now Is
well established, and yet it had its
uses for which the present straight

The old rail fences serrated

recesses there thrived the elder.

HALTED GRANTS WAR COUNCIL.

Kansas City Star: Philo M. Clark.
founder of Bonner Springs, Kan, died
in that town recently. Following is
an extract from a story Of his life
which appeared in the Bonner
Springs Chieftain:
"At the opening of the civil war
Mr.. Clark was in the business OF
manufacturing soda pop in Ken
lucky. The locating of large army
camp near by the town where his fac.
tory was situated caused his business
to lump, almost over night. from
small affair to one of the largest and
most prosperous manufacturing con
Germs in Kentucky.
after the capture Of Vicksburg by
General Grant in 1863 Clark and his
PARTNER, John kump, of Kansas City
decided to establish FACTORY on a
big floating barge and tow 1t down
to the newly captured city, where
large numbers of troops were sta
toned. They disposed of their hold.
ings in Kentucky. purchased the
barge and installed the necessary
machinery at a heavy cost. In fact,
the venture tied up practically the
entire fortune of both men. When
they were ready to start down the
river they foul d to their dismay that
they must nave d permit from the
army authorities in charge OF the
river district. General Grant was IN
command of the department at the
time with headquarters at st. Louis.
"The task of obtaining the permit
was undertaken by Kump, who, after
repeated fruitless efforts to obtain 1t
through the usual army channels,
gave up in despair. 1T can't be
done declared the discouraged Kump
to his partner. They are not grant
ing permits of that sort to anybody
I'll bet l can get it, was Clark's UNI
daunted response, and without a mo-
ment's hesitation he went directly to
the hotel in st. Louis where Grant
had his headquarters.
THE general, at the moment of
Clark's arrival, was holding coun-
Gil of war with his staff and the vari-
Gus commanders of the district. The
council was sitting in the form of a
horseshoe with Grant facing the 9TH
ers. Selling the opportunity offered
by momentary lull in the converse
ton and spurred ON by the thought
of the certain ruin that must follow
failure to secure the desired permit,
Clark broke through the circle and
addressed the general. Something in
his voice or appearance. or perhaps
the very daring of the act itself,
seemed to please Grant, who smiling
" inquired, What can I do for your
Clark told his story briefly. Without
moments hesitation the general
wrote out the necessary order and,
handing 1t to Clark. went on with the
business of The moment as If he had
never been interrupted"

GOOD MANNERS.

London Chronicle: 1t is always the
merest trifies rather than the big
things of life which indicate the nan
ners and tastes of the average per
son. A glazing social error, a par
ticularly rude actioni or tactless
speech are not made with too great
frequency, but other less obtrusive
faults are often committed-some.
times solely through ignorance or
want of thought
1t is just as grave q mistake to be
too polite as to be sabominably rude.
The painstakingly polite person is
very trying to encounter, for ex-
tremes often meet, and he generally
succeeds in being actually i'll bred
For instance. there is always the man
who, in the mistaken idea that a
woman should always precede him,
allows her to fight her way into a
crowded train, descend unaided and
walk before him into restaurant
that is rather full.
Removing his right glove before
shaking bonds with a woman; rails
ing his hat when he offers q damsel
his seat in car; carefully plotting
his fair companion across crowded
street; walking on the outside of the
pavement and refraining from sitting
when talking to woman who hap
pens to be standing, are all instances
of those little things which mark the
good breeding and thoughtfulness of
a man. Unfortunately in some cases
these things do not come by instinct,
but rather through the hard school
of experience.
On the other hand, woman re-
quires to be just as careful of her
manners. 1t is very exciting, no
doubt, to talk loudly and initiate
casual hearers into the mysteries of
an intimate conversation with an
other woman. Unfortunately the
listeners are only contemptuously i'm
pressed with the fact that the speak
er is incapable of controlling her own
voice.
1t is usually either nervousness or
thoughtlessness that prompts a
woman to display her worst side TO
the world. She will take a seat that
is offered to her in a crowded car
without a word of thanks or else will
make the chivalrous person feel still
more embarrassed by quick and
emphatic refusal to profit by his
generosity. or perhaps she will rush
through swing doors without bother
ing to notice IL any one is likely to
be caught in the rebound, elbow

PIGS, HOGS AND REGULATION.

The government puts the ban on the sale OF
pigs which have not attained to the proportion
of hogs; a limit of one hundred and fifty
pounds stands as the ban against the farmers
in marketing their porkers. At first thought
there seems economy in this regulation and
there is undoubted economy to the packers and
to the government as purchaser In bringing all
pork to export standard. But farmer In this
county who has lot of pork on his premises
takes another view and is positive that his will
be the view of majority. of farmers. The gov
eminent has urged pork production and the
farmers have stocked up with pigs. But feed
ing all the pigs to standard size and weight
under the new regulation with the price OF
feeds what it is now presents problem to the
farmer which he faces with disquietude. This
Lee county farmer says that it is impossible to
figure any profit and anything but potential
loss in fattening pigs through the winter. He
also deplores further regulation imposed on the
farmers in the matter of marketing products.
Should this attitude prove representative. OF

ginning is made at gaining the cooperation

vast complexity of racial tendencies and sym
pathies united in the past and uniting for the
future to an ideal that was heritage from Eng
land. Democracy is agreement to come by con-
cession to what is settled upon as the greatest
common good. The red flag signalizes revolt
from present conditions to something that
great body of people will not consent to except
under autocratic assertion of force. Russia is
vivid illustration Of this truth. We see new
democratic movements in Europe with much
display of the red flag because to European
peoples democracy is not come to by debate
and struggle and concession but by a cataclysm
that engulfs the old without educating for the
new 1t is no Anglophobia but simple justice
by historic fact to accord to Great Britain on
the day of celebration of her part in the war
the origin of the democratic education which
brought this nation to be melting pot and to
make all our progress truly democratic. 1t is
this knowledge of what democracy is as dis
tinct from class domination; Of what it is as
distinct from mass government that subverts
individual units and kills cooperation and con-
cession that is our great safeguard from loss
of our course as we sail the tumult Of the seas
of world politics. If we continue to make the
true spirit of democracy our pilot, we shall
come to port whatever storms we must outr1de

OUR DEBT TO GREAT BRITAIN.

On the seventh OF December celebration IS
planned of Great Britan's achievements In the
war; the committee on the American tribute to
Britain, of which Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presi-
dent emeritus OF Harvard university, is honor
airy chairman and Judge Alton B. Parker &C
tive chairman, has enlisted the cooperation OF
many organizations and CT representatives OF
all the racial units which make up our citizen
ship for 4 united celebration. There Is every
reason for recognition by this nation OF what
Great Britain mas done Ill this war. Since this
milton was vitality concerned in the wars result
ali the powers that helped to win deserve recog-
nition by it. Special Importance attaches to
what Britain has done to make own war
work possible aud successful and thus special
reason exists for such All event as has been
planned and Will be carried out
But there is something more than the mere
war significance which may rightly attach to
this recognition; something not concerned with
the future relations OF the two nations but init
mately concerned with their pasts. And 1t is
limited at in the following observation printed
in the Jacksonville Fla. Times Union: Men
who think Will regret that we can't get in
Europe some kind of democracy that doesn t
march under a red flag"
There are democracies in Europe which do
not march under red flags; there is France
which marches under the trl-color; there is
Switzerland there are nations which live in de
mocracy under form Of constitutional mon
archy. Among these last is Great Britain, but
there is one thing to be noted France once
marched to democracy under the red flag.
Great Britain never marched under the red flag
to democracy. And this nation rove itself from
England into democracy without a red flag and
without the cleavage from law and order as
we know them which the red flag symbolizes
There was no sudden outbreak into freedom In
Englands attainment Of it, there was struggle
of centuries which begot toughness of ma
tionhood that made the whole stick together
as freedom was achieved, and this cohesive
force was heritage to England's colonies
This nation is no longer English by predomi
nant racial ties, by predominant influences, by
popular choice: it is composite people with a

"Everybodys asking. What will
we do with the boys when they come
home?' OF course we will give them
royal welcome, but these boys
rnust have osmething besides a royal
welcome They must have work at
good wages. No question about
what the mother will do with her
boy when he comes home. She has
kept his little room immaculate and
clean just as he left it, waiting for
the time when he would march home
under the flag he fought for. No
question about what his sweetheart
will do with him when he come
home from the war. Love does not
hesitate or falter 1t takes it's own
10 its heart again and the world may
look on and wonder at Its lavish out
pouring Of an affection that is sweet
ened and strengthened by long alb
sence, fighting for his country's flag.
Some Of these boys will never come
home. They have paid the supreme
sacrifice Empty rooms and empty
chairs will testify to their glorious
patriotism.
so far as the Shredded Wheat
company concerned, there is no
question about what we will do with
our boys when they come home. We
will take back every boy who left
US to go to the front His lob is
waiting for him. If he lost an eye
we will give him glass one; il he
lost a leg we will get him "a new one.
Is there any employer in all this

give these brave boys their jobs
again?"
In calling attention to the loyalty
OF American food manufacturers as
shown in their cooperation with the
United States food administration.
Mr. Mason paid fine tribute to
Herbert c. Hoover. He told how Mr..
Hoover. when given the great re-
sponsibility of conserving food for
the allies, realizing his inability to
cope with all the great problems OF
food distribution, called around him
great organization Of experts. He
selected Theodore Whitmarsh, presi-
dent of the National Wholesale Gro
