LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A whole lot of fellows seem to
have the idea that you have to
strangle the world to make it
cough up.
The reason why most girls get
but one proposal of marriage is
because they are so afraid that
they might not get another one.
The fact that a man led his VIC
torious college debating team
doesn't do him a bit of good when
he gets into an argument with the
girl he married.
Billboards are not the most ar
tistic things in the world. But a
billboard is usually big improve
ment on what it conceals.
Every time we hear of a gam
bier reforming we are willing to
bet that he was an unsuccessful
gambler.
After man has been married
ten years it isn't love that makes
him work ten hours day to get
money enough to pay the food
bills his wife runs up. 1t is half
habit and half fear.
A wife is a person who will go
around Dragging about her hus-
bands ability even when she
doesn't believe he has any.
The difference between Lots
wife and lot of other wives is
that the other wives turn pep
perry.
1t doesn't do bit of good to
name a boy William. His mother
is going to call him Willie and his
father is going to call him Bill.
Seeing how a girl likes to hide
her ears under her hair is lucky
for her that she is a chicken and
not a rabbit.
A woman will buy anything
from an agent if he talks long
enough. That's the reason you
find so many cookless cookers
and mopless mops and washless
washers in the cellar.
Anyway, when things go wrong
after the women get the ballot we
can blame them for what hap
pens.

Price Advancing Thru
Result of Manipulation

With an advance in prices on
dry goods of twenty per cent
within the past three weeks, and
with predictions that SIS suits
will go up to $75 and shoes to $18
no one. need entertain the slight
est fears that prices are going to
take a tumble very soon. While
it is a better sign for prices to
advance than for them to fall as
the after-effect of the war, at the
same time it would be quite diff
cult to convince the most of us
that the greater part of this price
advancing is not the result of
manipulation. 1t looks very much
as if the profiteers have things in
their own hands and intend to
make the best of their opportun-
ity. Yet if you start out to find
q profiteer either at home or
abroad you can't do it. Every
blessed one of the fellows you
suspect will convince you if you
give them half a chance that he
is barely making living. This
applies to the wage-earner, the
farmer, the business man, manu-
facturer, the mining companies,
and practically everybody else.
But each is ready to swear that
the other fellow is profteering. If
those rantankerous characters in
congress really wish to make a
hit with the public they can cas-
lily do it by starting a dead-in-
earnest investigation of the prof
iteers of this country. But it is
dollars to doughnuts that they
will do nothing of the kind. The
money that was put up to help ell
ect them and gain the control of
the senate was not put up for any
such purpose, so the public need
not hope for any beneficial results
from that source. They were sent
there to criticise the administra-
tion and pick flaws with the con-
duct of the war altho its hasty
and successful outcome is its best
commendation. There is a great
opportunity for an investigation
that would be of some value to
the general public if somebody
had the nerve to order it. An in
vestigation of past expenditures
of public money is of no direct
value to anybody, it's Importance
lying wholly in the, effect it may
have for the future. But. it serves
for political purposes, so of
course we must expect a certain
amount of it. Moreover, it can't
hurt anybody in particular aside
from politicians and office hold
ers, because the war contractors
have already gotten theirs and
are now turning their attention
to other things. And while an in
vestigation of dead issues is 60
ing on, the profiteers in the daily
necessities of the people can carry
on their manipulations undisturb-
ed. o, it's a great game-a great
one.-Windsor Poudre Valley.

Schools of Citizenship
are Planned for Women

New England is planning for a
series of semi-political Chautau-
quas for the education and en-
lightenment of the women who
are soon to be full-fedged voters.
In Rhode Island women were CIV
en- presidential suffrage in 1917,
Little Rhody" being the first
state to confer presidential suf-
frage alone. The recent legisla-
tive session in Maine gave the
presidential vote, and so did that
of Vermont, but the governor in
the latter state vetoed the bill.
and when it was again introduced
it failed of enough votes to pass
over the veto. Massachusetts, has
annual sessions of it's Legislature,
and may decide to give presiden-
tial suffrage to its women if it ap-
pears that the Federal amend
ment may not be ratified in time
for the 1920 campaign.
In any event New England
means to be "forehanded" in this
respect. Mrs. Nancy Schoonmak-
er, Mississippian by birth, has
prepared a correspondence course
in Citizenship for Women for the
Connecticut Woman Suffrage as
sociation, especially adapted to
conditions in that state, and Rhode
Islands equal suffrage associa-
tion has got out series of exam
ination papers under the general
caption, "Know Your Own Coun-
try" going down thru all the pol
itical divisions-state, county,
city and town-and then taking
up the local situation in regard to
education, health, taxation, public
utilities, charities and corrections
and what is done to protect the
citizen, with a tolerably compre-
hensive survey of industrial con-
ditions. Many assert that if the
average man of Rhode Island had
to answer 60 per cent of these
questions correctly before cast
ing a ballot, it is highly probable
that there would be a sudden fall
ing off in the vote of that state.
New York has a Primer for
Voters" and pamphlet got up for
women citizens called "Citizen-
ship and the Vote" The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin has a cores
pondence course in citizenship
open to any one, and Missouri
women had pamphlet telling
thcm all the main duties of the
citizen even before that state gave
them presidential suffrage.
In fact, the state that has not
prepared some kind of handbook
for it's women soon-to-be voters is
hopelessly out of style. All of
which suggests certain refresh
ing humility on the part of the
women who have been preparing
the youth of the land for citizen
ship these many years, together
with a determination to give a
demonstration of preparedness"
hitherto quite unprecedented in
the political annals of the nation.

Sioux City, Aug. 22-Prospects Of
SIS porkers before snow "lies this fall
have been literally shot to pieces by
government packer probes and H. c.
Of l.. Investigations, live stock COM
mission merchants at the yards as
serted yesterday. .ru rs ~
Some months ago the noticeable de.
crease in the spring pig crop. combin-
ed with what was expected to be the
heaviest export demand in the history
Of the country, caused stockmen to
predict a top Of s25 on the hog market
this fall. 81
The falling Off in the production OF
porkers Is still apparent, the commits
sion men claim, but the drop in other
commodities forced by the profiteer-
ing Investigations has already been
reflected in the porker trade and VAL
ues have started tumbling in ,sympa-
thy.
Consensus OF opinion in live stock
circles yesterday placed the TRADING
basis for hogs this winter in the vi
cinity Of ST. They pointed out that
while this seemed cheap compared to
present prices 1t would be q satisfac-
tory basis to the country providing a
proportionate decrease was scored on
corn this fall.
Runs arriving here at this time show
a considerable lack Of corn fed hogs.
The commission men attribute this to
the fact that farmers are backward
about feeding the cereal at current
prices. However. the stockllen say
that corn selling for 31.s5 blBhel can
be fed to porkers bringing from SO to
$40 per hundredweight and still leave
q fair profit.
! Country buyers are reported to be in
q decidedly trying position. After max
ing purchase Of a load of either cat
tie, hogs or sheep in the country they
are up in the air until the load has
crossed the scales at some primary
market and the money is back In their
pocket.
Sharp breaks In all branches Of the
trade have become common during re-
cent months. and shippers are unable
to place any definite buying margin
with safety.
