not. know them personally, you tuny
know them by reputation or through

which means good returns in the way
of their patients recommending

They estlmute that over eigh'y

Sound Logic
We pass along a little bit of sound
logic in the way of an illustration
showing that the liquor traffic Is not
an induEtry worthy of the protection
of the American people. The illustra-1
Hon was given by Mr. George R.
Stuart: Here are four little machines.'
I step up to the first little machine
and say, "Hello, little machine, wbat
are you?" And the answer comes
back, "I am a saw mill." "A saw
mill? And what is your raw mater
ial?" The reply is, Old logs." "What
is your finished product?" "Lum
ber." "Lumber worth more than
logs?" "Yes, certainly." "Then
you are creating values?" "Certain
ly I am." "Then you are an indus
try worthy of the protection of tbis
republic, and we will throw our arms
around you."
I step up to the next little ma
chine and say: "Hello, little ma
chine, what are you?" And the an
swer conies back, "I am a grist
mill." "What is your raw material?"
"Corn and oats." "What is your fin
ished product?" "Meul and four."
"Meal and flour worth more than
corn and oats?" "Certainly." Then
you, too, are creating values, and we
will throw our arms of protection a
round you."
I step up to the next little ma
chine and say: "Hello, little ma
chine, what are you?" And the an
swer comes back, "1 am a paper
mill." "And what is your raw mater
ial?" "Old rags." "And What Is
your finished product?" "Linen pa
per." "Linen paper worth more
than old rag?" "Cartalnly." "Then
you are also creating values, and we
will throw our arms of protection a
round you as an institution worthy of
protection"
I step up to the next little ma
chine and say: "Hello, little ma
chine, what are you?" And the an
swer OOMOJ back, "I am a gin mill."
"A gin mill? And what is your raw
material ?" And if it tells the irn. '.i (
ii musi point its ringer to yon., r
boy, and that other boy and that
oilier, and say: "There's my raw
material." "What Is your fini- .1
product ?' And again, if it tells in
the truth, it mutt point Its finger to
yonder blear-eyed, bloated-ch:kl
old drunkard, staggering down yon
der back alley, noon to drop into a
drunkard's grave. Is the finished
product worth more than the raw
material? No, no! The more the
grinding proeess went on in the grist
mill, the finer the prexlutt turned out
and of greater value. The more the
grinding prex-ess goes on in the gin
in 111, the less fit for future useful

turned out. The gin mill and the

CONSERVATION CONGRESS
Former Box Butte County Man Hon
ored as President
.Our attention has been called to
an article in the American Lumber
man of Sep-ember :!0, giving an ex
tended writeup of the National Con
servation Congress which was held
in Kansas City about that date. Hon.
J. B. White of Kansas City, president
of the Forest Lumber Co., was pres
ident of the congress. We under
stand that many years ago he had a
claim west of Alliance near Bronco
lake The American Lumberman
prints a large halftone cut of Mr
White. We take the following ex
tract from the writeup:
"Conservation must have a defi
nite and practical starting point. It
can be carried on only in accordance
with the rule laid down: That the
reward must slightly exceed the ef
fort. Progress never has been made
in any line of human activity where
the returns were less than tho In
vestment. Neither individual nor
community can exist unless it pro
duces sufficient to make existemce
possible. This is the basic principle
of existence.
"Turning from the abstract to the
concrete, no better example of an
able, conscientious, practical conser
vationist is available today than Is
found in the work and character of
the gentleman who was elected pres
ident of the National Conservation
Congress at Its third annual conven
tion, held in Kansas City this week,
the Hon. J. B. White. This year's
meeting was held in the city where
Mr. White resides. The character
of the meeting reflects in a broad
way the character of the man- a
progressive lover of peace, who is
so thoroughly a believer in the effi
cacy of peaceful methods that he Is
willing to fight for them
"FOMtMjr the Hon. J. B. White is
not the original conservationist of
the Cnlted States. That is a disput
ed point. However, he ha.s been a
consistent believer in values of natur
al resources anil has elone all in his
power to strengthen the regard in
which they are held.
"About ten years ago, at a meeting
of yellow pine manufacturer held in
New Orleans, a very interesting dls
e usslon was held In regard to tlmfew
values. Mr. White listened attentive
ly and quietly. Near the conelusion
of the debate lie arose and electri
fied Ills hearers with a unique and
forceful presentment ot the views of
the fifth siH'ceediug gen. ration on
prtunt methods of handling timber
refoure-e-s. and, Incidentally, other re
sources. He drew a charming pic
ture of the awe and veneration in
which timber and its products will be
regarded in the year HM.
"The new president of conserva
tion congress Is a practical man. He
is the ae-tlve director of several large
lumber manufacturing companies and
undev his guidance their affairs have
been conducted In a very successful
manner. His plan is to save every
thing that can be handled on a prof
itable basis and to cut trees whose
product will sell for more than the
(ost of manufacture and delivery.
This Idea he applies to the entire
bcheme if conservation a.s It effects,
or may effect, any branch of com
merce. "Mr. White spent several months
this year in investigating the meth
ods of handling European forests,
particularly those of Germany. He
had read and heard much of the
wonderful forests and the compre
hensive forestry policy of Germany
and other European countries and
desired personally to verify the state
ments made. What he saw and
what he learneel on his trip confirm
ed his belief in the practicability of
applied forestry wherever it can be
handled em a profitable basis."
SOME TRUTH IN THIS
"Yes," remarkcel the merchant to
the newspaper man, "I e-ertainly have
a snap. The wholesale houses send
me duns every month anil draw on
me at sight, but if I send a bill to
a farmer most likely he comes in
swearing mad and quits trading at my
store. While 1 am harel up for money,
many of those who owe me are send
ing cash in advance to mall order
houses. If 1 contribute money to
t.ny cause people say I am bielding
for trade; If I don't, they say I'm a
hog Every day I am expected to
dig up for everything that comes a
loug. from a tfTlfl ticket to u church
fund, by people who say I ought to
because they do their tradir.g here,
but my friends, Chrs & Chawbuch,
neither buy tickets nor help the
church funds, and get cash in ad
vance business, and it I were to
circulate a subscription paper among
the wholesale houses 1 trade with I
would get the laugh proper.
"If I sell a pair of pants I must
tteat the family to e'undy and cigars.
If I buy a load of potatoes I must
do the same. Customers wTio are ab
le to pay hang on to their money,
liile I pay 10 per cent at the bank
to have ready cash. 1 have a big
business during hard times und poor
crops from people who are willing
to trade with me provided I can dup
BoatO catalogue priees and wait un
til harvest for my money. My
scales weigh too heavy when I sell
sugar and too light when I buy but
ter. 1 am a thief, a liar and a
grafter. If I smile I am a soft soapy
grump.
"Yes, this certainly is a snap."
And then he looks over lo,Ot0
worth or book accounts all good and
wonders how he could raise .!5o to
meet a sight draft tomorrow. -Exchange.
