THE QUESTION OF STEAKS AND
 BOASTS

If it should turn out, as suggested
 by MT. Weaver a big cattle rancher of Wyoming, that beef will never go back to pre-war prices on account of the disappearance of the great cat tie ranges, we shall have at least one recompense-we will have generally
 better beef.
 We will have better beef because
 the beef animals will be better
 grown. It will be the beef of the pas ture and the feed lot entirely instead
 of in large part the beef of the range. The beef stock will live on better stuff, the superior grasses of the pas
 lures and the corn of the farm. All of this feed will in a sense have to
 be purchased by the man who raises steers. That is, it will take labor
 and outlay of money to produce it. It will not be lying out in the open to be secured simply by driving a herd to it. Here is as things are now, large added cost in preparing cattle for market over that required in preparing them on the range, but it would be a rather bold statement to say that, for this reason, beef prices will never come down to what they were ten or twenty years ago. .. That statement would have to as- sume that the general costs of agri- culture would always remain at about their present level, allowing nothing for improvement in agricultural methods, involving various economies and cheapening effects which it is easy to imagine but not yet easy to see. But there is nothing that would justify notion that this improve ment has reached it's acme, and on the other hand abundant reason for believing that it is in a state of steady progress. It is a big subject, embracing the treatment of soils to the end of greatest productivity, i'm provement of crop quality and yield by crop breeding, methods of culti- vation, scientific feeding, marketing facilities and a dozen other things, all of which are the subjects of re- search and experiment,
 Though fences are continually null
 tiplying, and the extensive ranges
 With their herds of hundreds of thousands are disappearing, we shall have none the less cattle if every farm has some. The market yards will be fed from many more sources but the stream of stock will not be diminished. It may be augmented, and one of the aspirations of the ex- perts is to make stock growing profit
 able on every farm, without any 1 added relative cost, at any rate, to
 the consumer of farm products. It ! would seem that the experts stood at least an even chance to succeed.

POLITENESS AT HOME AND
 ABROAD

Fifteen American farmer boys who took a shipload of milch cows to Ger many outraged the Teutonic sense of courtesy by brushing past silk halted, frock coated officialdom to grasp the calloused hands of humble farmers. On the other hand every youth in the party, riding on street car astound- ed the German guide by rising to give seats to women, while German men stolidly remained sitting,
 The same sort of thing might have happened in France or Italy or almost any other of the European countries Politeness is largely a matter of form and standards are fixed by custom. It's all ill the point of view.
 The French shopkeeper expects cheery greeting from the customer who enters his place. He returns it effusively and then proceeds to skin the customer out of his eye teeth, if he is able. He usually is, if the GUS
  tourist, unfamiliar with French stand ards of value and confused when he tries to reckon French francs and confines in terms of American dol lars and cents. The same shopkeeper would pass up a chance to make a good bargain rather than treat with civility a prospective buyer who fails to extend the usual courtesy to him according to, the French standard One merely doesn't enter a French shop and bluntly state his business as he does in America.
 American travel writers have felt called upon for years to comment on the boorishness of their fellow coun. tryment travelling abroad A little more sophisticated than usual, these writers appear to think the average traveller abroad ought to adopt Euro pean standards, immediately they set foot on European soil The Ameri can is probably just as polite as the European. Their standards are simply different. What passes for politeness abroad looks to a lot of us more like flunkeyism, and what we consid. CT politeness may seem to the Euro. pean merely a surrender of the male prerogative to lord it over his women

PROGRESS IN COAL
 MINING NEAR ANCHORAGE

The Anchorage Times says that the government coal mines at Eska and Chickaloon are rapidly nearing the time when Uncle Sam may take aboard a full bunker of coal on any one of his Pacific fleet, sail out into the Pacific and ascertain how many miles may be exacted from a ton of Alaskan coal.
 All that is needed to complete the first cycle of successful coal mining is the erection of the washing plant at Sutton, where the dirt may be re- moved from the coal. Both Eska and ChickaloOn have the coal and by the time the washing plant is ready there will be another promising unit well on the way to development that will. Judging by samples taken, be pro- ducing coal superior even to the fam ous Chickaloon and Eska product. This is at Coal creek, where two ex- cellent beds have been discovered and are now in the process of ex- ploratio1i
 And when the casual visitor reaches Chickaloon and Eska this summer he will see what is rapidly becoming one of the most up-to-date and perfect coal mining camps in America.

HOFFMAN, YOUTHFUL
FORCER, ESCAPES JAIL;
POLICE START HUNT
fRv Associated Pressl

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.-Police
are searching today for Charles Hoff
man, a 16 year old forger and en-
bezzler, whose exploits have before
kept them busy in this city, New York,
Chicago, Memphis and elsewhere. His
escape from the Glen Mills reformatory
where he had been sent for the theft
of $4,S50 in checks and money from
his employees, did not become known
until last night, although it took place
Saturday.
After another escapade about year
ago he was parolled after forging
checks for approximately $1,000. on the
Corn Exchange National Bank. He
admitted spending the money in New
York and his lavish tips to hotel EN-
rloyes there led them to refer to him
as the millionaire kid. Less than a
year ago he escaped from the Junior
republic school, near Bethlehem, Pa.
After the theft for which he was
sent to Glen Mills, he was followed to
Chicago, but eluded capture until his
funds were exhausted, when he was
taken prisoner in Memphis.
