A handful of coins are shown

removes a dime from the pile,
rubs it gently and causes it, to
dissolve into thin air.
Among the coins in the left
hand there is only one dime.
This coin is apparently removed
by the right hand. but in reality
it is slipped under a larger coin,
say a'quarter or half dollar. As
the dime is no longer visible
among the left-hand coins, every
one takes it for granted that it
is in the right. Thus the disap-

OUR CHANCE FOR RELIEF.

Western farmers are having hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission to show that pres
ent freight rates prohibitive on hay and grain
We hope they may get relief.
New Mexico "sewed in a sack' securely
by the gang" in the constitutional convention that
she has long since ceased to struggle. She accepts
corporation domination inevitable.
The constitution deprives corporation COM
mission of practically all The legislature adds
to its paralysis by curailing its appropriations. 1t
might stir the people by its revelations If it had the
money to investigate Therefore it has money
given to it.
The constitution does the absurd thing Of put
ting the burden of proof the state to show that
rates wrong instead of upon the corporation to
show that its proposed rates right and necessary
Other states do not do this 1t clearly shows what in
fluences wrote the constitution.
In June intra-state and inter-mountan freight
rates increased by from 10 per cent to 33 per
cent If any notice of the proposed raise given
it was so adroitly hidden that no knew of it.
New Mexico probably pays additional $1,000, 900
peryear of tribute as the result.
Public officials who "cared a hang for the
public would have raised the roof this outrage

"yERBoTEN" DIsREGARDED.

"A dispatch from Berlin says that the Germans
are taking delight in doing many things that
"verboten" and are getting away with it. The laws.
the rules have not been repealed but the people
disregard them So long as the old government re-
mained penalties for violation of "verboten" sign
not think of defyng it because the regard for the
warning had been instilled through long practice.
Now that there is less rigorous government peo-
pies government in least, like children, the
people feel daring, Released from parental control
they want to cut capers. they disregard 'ver-
boten" signs. They go in bathing where they
would not have dreamed of such an act and laugh
at the policemen who are helpless to deal with such
a crowd.
The situation is not astonishing. In fact it is
logical. Thu fear of the rigorous Hohenzelern rule
having been removed it might be expected that bit
of license would succeed repression. No longer held
down by arrogant caste, it is natural that the
common people should have their day and do things
that make the junkers sigh for the old time when
authorities powerful enough to make members
of the common herd keep to their places. 1t is not
stated that they doing anything very bad, only
that "verboten" no longer carries the authority it
once swayed The situation is indication that lib
erty is gaining way Germany that the paternalstic
feature of the government disappearing because
the people disregard it. Germany the most "ver-
boten" place earth under the Hohenzollerns 1t
well that it is changing.

WHO HAS THE SOLUTION?

Have men fallen behind in the progressive pro-
cession or have always been further adj
vanoed than any except themselves knew, supposing
the women themselves knew? Are to guide the
larger affairs of the social side of life will the
women grab off the job and take 1t over for COM
plete remodeling? Or-have the women already
taken 1t over?
No one who even notices the constant hubbub
here there and everywhere-especially along Main
street and all around the public square-about the
length of women's skirts, the length of their hair,
the height of their heels, escape certain ques-
tons Perhaps If the teapot tempest is observed long
enough one may be brought to unpleasant concu-
sions. One of these questions is have men degen-
Grated unnotced or have they just started into de-
generacy? Are they making themselves less of men
without becoming something better. Certainly they
have no claims as women. AS they stand they not
genuine full-blooded men, while as women the real
women can't hide their smokers at them.
There is something out OF mesh somewhere with
the man who wants to tell women how to- dress or
who Is enough concerned with womens dress to be
able to detail description. Among men of the
traditional type there never anything but
grin or a word culled from strong language for the
male being who fused about women's clothes. BY
common consent there is something wrong some
where Men who before complained that their office
girls spent too much office time firing their hair
now hide their modest faces because the office girls
or fuses around because womens clothes don't suit

become one The difference is negligible.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Material de-
clines in the value of wheat took
place today largely owing to stock
market depression and to spectac-
ular breaks in the price of corn
and oats. Wheat closed nervous,
&c to &c net lower, with September
$1.22 to s1.22k and December
$1.23h to s1.23%.
Corn lost sc to 1%c and oats
Nc to 1ssc. In provisions the
outcome was unchanged to 35c
lower.
Dearth of buying orders in the
wheat pit made the market I'M
usually sensitive to the influence
of the stock market, and the de-
clines which began soon after the
trading opened were speedily en-
phasized through the bearish ac-
ton of corn and oats, all deliveries
of the feed grains touching the
lowest prices yet this season, with
the September delivery of oats
commanding less than at any time
since 1912.
Increased hedging pressure and
liquidation on the part of holders
was the rule in corn. whereas big
stocks in sight left the oats mar
ket little support Early indica-
tions of a lack of export business
counted also against the bulls in
wheat. On the other hand an

A STUFFED HADDoCK DINNER

The average housekeeper has
one fish dinner a week--on FRI
day. But as a fish Is cheaper than
meat, It Is excellent economy to
have two fish dinners a week. Fish
may become just as popular as
meat on the home table If 1t is
cooked deliciously. The following
way of making haddock is rather
a fussy way, but time and trouble
are always economy's substitute;
if we wish to save money yet have
things just as palatable, we must
willingly expend little extra
time. Try the following dinner
menu on your family:
Baked Stuffed Haddock la Pietro
Potato Cake au Gratin
Green Peas
Coffee Peach Pie
Baked Stuffed Haddock la
Pietro: Buy 8 1-2-pound had
dock (this will cost somewhere
around s cents pound-thus
making the entire dish about 80
cents) and have your fish man
clean 1t, remove mead ana tai, ana
split it open on the under side.
One hour before you wish to serve
it, take it from the refrigerator
and cut the two "filets"-that is,
the two fleshy sides of the fish
away from the long strip of small
bones which form the ribs of the
fish near the head, and which re-
semble a feather at the tail end;
the ribs and this long tail-strip OF
bones (Which run down the inside
of the fish will be left in one SOL
