With two boys, Orville London
and Archie Goldberg. killed in yes

other boys injured it would seem
that coasting would have yolun-
tarily been stopped.
I'VE have not enough police to
thoroughly scour the city to stop

ever policeman does find coasting
, he has orders to stop it.
Appeals to Parents.
THE only way know Of to avert
further cOasting accidents is for
parents to strictly forbid their
children to coast on the streets
Without the aid Of the parents the
police cannot handle the situation"
The mayor received reports that
boys and girls were coasting on
Twenty-seventh street last night.

RAISING SCRUB CATTLE
DOES NOT PAY

Why continue to raise scrub cattle
when it costs no more to grow pure
bredsi If you are raising beef cattle
the purebreds will prove more profita-
BILE, even if you never sold an animal
for breeding purposes, provided you
start on small scale and build up a,
herd gradually. You need purebred
bull, anyway. Your land is worth frou
5000 to $500 an acre, and scrubs do not
belong on land that represents such Al
investment. The best purebred live
stock is none too good for the farms OF
the Grand valley.
While it would not be advisable for
man who has been raising grade cat
tie for years to sell off his holdings and
start in herd of purebreds all at
once, we do believe it would be good
business for every man to buy couple
of purebred heifers and bull and in
that way get start towards better
profits from his labors. Even II no
other female is ever bought it will be
surprising how soon purebred herd
of considerable numbers will have ac-
cumulated. As the purebred herd
grows he can sell off his grades. Twelve
years ago Kansas farmer bought q
registered heifer, and from that one
female and her descendants he has pro-
duced "a head. Figuring half Of these
females, he has herd Of from 40 to 46
head. When you look at it in that man
ner isn't it a fact that it costs no
more to raise purebred herd than
grade herdf 1t, takes n little time to
start with one female, of course, but
time passes away. There are many
things in favor Of such modest start.
A man has n chance to learn lot about
the purebred business while he is grow
ing into IL and he hasn't fortune In
vested. He Is bound to make II pay
and pay big in the end.
In 1904 two brothers in Wisconsin
started with one registered COW. They
kept q careful record Of the offspring
and in IA years they had produced 11e
head. These are not exceptional cases.
Many others have done equally we'll,
but net many have kept track Of the

increase. Registered cattle were never
in greater demand than they are today,
and one reason for that is the rapid in
crease in land values. Farmers are re-
alizing as they never did before that
we arc entering upon a period of in
tensive agriculture.
1t was hard for IFS in this country to
keep up with production before the war,
what will happen from now onf We
are building big merchant marine,
something we did not have five years
ago. We are soon to become a great
manufacturing nation that will attract
more and more labor, and food con
sumption will grow by leaps and bounds.
Everybody in this country is looking
forward to an era Of great prosperity in
industrial lines which is bound to be
felt in the agricultural field.
Farm products will be high in price,
all sorts of farm machinery will i'm
prove, good roads will soon be as COM
mon as bad roads are now, land VIII
continue to rise in value and purebred
livestock in every department Of the
farm will become the rule instead Of
the exception. The sooner you begin
to get in the band wagon the better it
will be for you. The early bird catches
the worm. Buy registered bull and
one or two registered heifers. II you
are dairying you need them; If you are
raising beef cattle for market you need
them just as much. You may sell breed
ing stock from your registered herd
after while, but whether you do OF
not the purebred will be profitable,
anyway,

MEN WHO FAIL
By H. Arlington Bruce

TN vague, general way you no doubt are
aware that many many men fail to gain
competence for their old age, But l
doubt if you appreciate the extent of pow
erty among the aged.
A big insurance company has looked into
this question exhaustively. It's findings are
startling.
Of every hundred average healthy men, it
discovered, thirty-six die before the age of
siXty-fve. OF those who live to be sixty-fve
years old, no fewer than fifty-four, or 81 per
cent, are dependent on friends, relatives, or
the charity of strangers.
Think of it! Think of it particularly with
reference to yourself, to the prospects for
your own old age.
Are you reconciled to the idea of having
place among the hapless "a per cent? Or
do you hope to rise to the class of the fortu-
nate few of financial independence?
You can do this if only you so about it in
the right way. 1t is chiefly a question of
making wise use of time and mental power.
To be sure, social conditions are such
to make for sadly uneven distribution of
the rewards of effort This is undeniable,
and growing appreciation of the fact may be
trusted to force a more equitable arrange
ment.
Nevertheless, it will always remain true
that personal endeavor is necessary to as
sure financial freedom. And even under the
present system personal endeavor can assure
financial freedom, as experience repeatedly
demonstrates.
There are numerous people comfortably
off in their closing years who enjoyed no
special privileges whatever. They achieved
independence simply by charting their lives
more effectively than do those who fail.
While others were wasting time and
money, they were saving both. Without de-
generating into misers and grinds, they gave
more thought to the winning Of success than
to the gaining of transient pleasure.
They husband their energies for their daily
tasks. They prudently avoided the numer-
Gus means by which nerve force is dissipated
to no purpose.
They did not allow bitterness and envy to
take possession of their souls When things
went wrong they came up smiling.
