The increased stability of prices.
noted in the May trade reviews en-
bracing conditions covering the spring
season. has since. been noted by the
United States department of COM
merce and the deduction is drawn
that encouraging auguries are war
1anted from the fact that business IS
advancing in less spectacular but
more substantial manner. Numerous
factors have combined to force this
conclusion. The decrease in failures.
noted in May, continues. From May
] 10 May 81. they dropped to 1850
a. compared wit 2,167 during April.
with liabilities of only s44,4O2, $50 as
against ApriTs total of $7S.O5S,627.
This is a reduction in number Of 9.5
per cent and in amount of about 40
per cent.

eminent ownership Of railways. Mr..

To a Bride.
HY DOROTRw DIE
az4&'B Al$hese %Aad wOmam VI

Just consider what an unpleasant
creature an ideal husband would be
to live with day after day, and be
| thankful that you've got one who has
50 many faults that he cannot afford
to be too critical of yours.
| Above all don't expect a NAH after
he is married to keep up the lover
| like attitude of courtship, and to spend
hours every day assuring you that you
! are the only woman in the world for
MIN. and that your eyes are like violets
drenched in dew, and that there is
nothing else on earth so beautiful as
the way your hair curls on the nape of
your neck. After marriage, a man has
got to get down to the real business
of life, which is making a living for
his family. and he hasn't time for
romantic rhapsodies.
Remember that a beefsteak is just
as much a token of affection as a
bunch of violets, and that a man
proves his love better by his deeds
than by his words. Men who are
weakest on performance. and most of
the wives of the Sentimental Tomnlies
take in boarders to support them.
My third tip is: Be Reasonable.
Don't treat a grown man as if he were
an idiot child. Accord him the right
to have tastes and opinions of his own.
Don't make him eat what you like
and wear the clothes you perfer.
Grant him the privilege of having
ideas of his own. Don't require him
to punch the home time clock as if
he were a domestic slave. Don't feel
yourself ilI-used If he isn't dancing at
tendance on you every minute that he
isn't at work. Nothing makes a man
so sorry he married as to find out
that matrimony has deprived him of
every particle of freedom, and that his
wife is his jailer.
NY next tip is play the game.
Unless you are an imbecile, you set
tied certain questions before marriage.
You found out exactly how much
money your husband made, and you.
therefore, knew in just what style you
could live. If you married poor
man, struggling to get a start in the
world, you knew that you would have
to economic, and work, and save,
welcher unless you cheerfully comply
with the conditions. You have no
right to cry, and whine. and complain
because you haven't the things that
rich women have, and If you run your
husband in debt for finery you can't
afford you are a female crook and
blackguard.
Nor are you playing the game I'M
less you make your husband a COM
Portable home, and give him good
food. The woman who is a slack
kousekeeper defaults as much on her
part of the matrimonial bargain as
the man who doesn't support his
family.
My final tip is forget yourself
Don't be forever thinking what your
husband owes to you. Think of what
you owe to him. Don't worry about
whether he pays you all the little at
lions that are your due, worry about
whether you show him all the tender
ness, and consideration, and kindness
that are due to him. For 1t is only
when we love someone so much bet
ter than we love ourselves, and seek
his or her happiness above our own,
that we find happiness for ourselves.
To be a good wife is a great career,
little bride, but you can achieve it If
you will.

Under every protective tariff law
which the United States has put on its
books. say the tariff advocates. ex-
ports have increased and our foreign
trade has f1ourished to a degree
which surpassed any period during
which a free trade tariff law was on
the books. 1t is not difficult to ac-
cept this statement as true when it
is recalled that articles of American
manufacture were sold at so low a
price abroad that American consum-
ers could save money by buying these
articles abroad and shipping them
back here. Under such a system for
eign trade was certain to flourish.

MILITARY SCHOOLS DELIGHT

Not War, Secretary Says.

Lexington, w. Va, JHne 20.-Sec-

speaking here today at the Virginia
Military Institute commencement the
increasing number of military schools
in the country. The increase, he said
must be a great satisfaction to those
believing in adequate military pre-
paredness."
At do not mean preparation for
war" the secretary continued. IAN
education at such a school does not
create a passion for war. In fact nv
experience has been that those who
know most about war are the ones
most DESTROYS of preventing it, We
cannot be unmindful of the fact, how
ever, that in order to survive a ma
ton must possess a military force suf-
ficient to defend it from the enemy
without and within to make secure its
sovereignty and secure enforcement OF
its laws

impeachment Proceedings
Against Daugherty

Washington, Dec. 15.-The house
judiciary committee today planned to
proceed with Impeachment proceed
ings against Attorney Geenral
Daugherty in spite of the fact that
Representative Keller of Minnesota,
who made the charges, has refused to
assist further. Keller is to be put
l,nder oatn and asked for the informa-
ton he claims to have.
The committee adjourned shortly
after the session opened when Keller
failed to appear in answer to the sum-
mons served on him by Attorney John
II. Ralston, representing Keller, but
sent letter to the committee by John
A. Vasey, a Boston lawyer, asking
the postponement until tomorrow.
Chairman Volstead said the letter
failed to give an excuse for his non
appearance. Representative Graham,
a Republican of Pennsylvania, sug-
gested that the committee report to
the house recommendation for con-
tempt of action against Keller. Other
members suggested that a postpone
ment be granted. Vasey told the COM
mittee that Keller's appearance to-
morrow would depend upon advice
given by his counsel.

In a message Of greeting, read by
Senator Ernst Of Kentucky, the pres
ident declared he knew Of mo single
movement that promises more help to-
wards the present relief and the per-
manent betterment Of agricultural
conditions than the cooperative or
ganization of farmers to market their
product"
The system, Secretary Wallace said,
should act to avoid glutting markets
with farm products and at the same
time to obviate periods Of scarcity,
thus preventing both ruinously low
prices to producers and high costs to
consumers.
"If we can avoid these periods Of
feasts and famine" he added, "the
farmers will benefit more by fairly
stable price and the consumers will
he able to buy what they need at more
reasonable prices. Hence; as see it,
the organization AMI successful con-
duct Of farmers cooperative associa-
tons result in benefit both to farm
ers and he people who consume the
products.
