A WISE MAN A WISE MAN there was, who dwelt in the land of Opportunity and prospered. The son of this wise man was an observant youth, keenly alert to the possibilities of a wonderful future. ' mnPOT er anon yuth reflected upon the miracle of grass turned ttlG W KjD 1 to beef as water was once turned to wine. He viewed his father's herds, waxing fat and yielding nutriment for a hungry populace. Approaching manhood, he came to realize that grass could not only be turned to beef but that beef could be turned to gold. Straight way the observant youth craved the confidence of his father. "Know you," spake the wise man to his son, "that there may be as many kinds of cattle as there were colors in Joseph's coat. Take further heed to my words. All live stock commission firms are not alike; some salesmen are much better than others, albeit the best selling service costs no more than the poorest. Hence, my son, you will preceive that the better the salesman, the greater become your returns in gold. Consider the wisdom of what I say and choose with care your agents at market." Twenty-eight years of honest endeavor and ripe experience are wrapped up in Sales That Suit. A live, energetic organization, equipped and anxious to serve your best interests, awaits your instructions and appreciates your favors. We solicit your patronage with the assurance that you will receive 100 cents' worth of selling and handling service for every dollar you pay in commissions.

A war zone 'that offers peculiar perils for non-combatants should provide an interesting topic when In ternational law comes to be written. Question may arise as to whether warning In advance palliates a ship destruction or serves only to empha sise the premeditation. Cblef criticism of our neutrality is based on the fact that it's too all fired neutral. It must be that the rapid spread of prohibition In Europe drove lluerta to these hospitable shores. Champ Clark says the idea that any American boy can be president Is wrong. How about it. Mr. Bryan. "British Cabinet to Act on Liquor" which of course is better than to have liquor act on the British cabl- aet. It certainly is patriotic In that California volcano to "resume activ ity" while the exposition Is in prog ress. It begins to look as though the biggest reputation to be made in the present war will be by Uncle Sam for keeping out of It. Why not give Huerta a grand tand seat along the Mexican border nd let htm enjoy himself? lowans see a sign that the war will nd before next January In Henry Watterson's prediction that after It is over this country "will How with wine, milk and honey".
