Leap City northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITT, - . NEBRASKA The “Co-ad” Poril. The president of Tufts’ collect warns the trustees that coeducation must he abandoned if the institution ia to attract male students. Young ■*». he says, are showing a decided preference for men’s colleges, where they are undisturbed by feminine as sociation. Only by the segregation of the women students in a department ef their own. President Hamilton thinks, can the drift away from Tufts he checked, and the college of letters prevented from soon becoming a girls’, school. The warning is interesting, as fallowing by just a year the adoption of the plan of sex segregation at the University of Chicago. Are college youths becoming fearful of mollycod dling influences at coeducational institutions? asks the New York World. At least there were no mollycoddles in the Cornell boat at Poughkeepsie, nor on the Michigan and Wisconsin university elevens. Doubtless the main cause is a discon tent with the Invasion of their ancient domain by women in numbers which threaten soon to reduce the male stu deats to a minority. In ten years the growth of the great coeducational col leges has been phenomenal, Cornell in creasing Us numbers from 1,800 to Z, 399; Michigan adding 1,800, and, Wis consin 1,400. At the University of Chicago the college population almost trebled, advancing from 1,881 to 5,997. Tofts itself jumped from 500 to 1,160. Meantime the strictly women’s col leges have grown greatly, Smith, which this year has a freshman class of 600, increasing from 850 to 1,375, and Vassar doubling its numbers. The gain is suggestive when contrasted with the increase of 111 at Williams, 227 at Princeton, 135 at Bowdoin and 21 at Amherst. ' Water Power Going to Waste. The newly-created inland waterways cemmission is going to teach the peo ple a lot of things about the most valu able mineral In the world—a mineral of which, because it is plentiful, we are more wasteful than of anything else, throwing it away wholesale, and k. exhibiting a stupid neglect of its possi ^ tiilities of usefulness. So writes Rene Bache in The Technical World Maga zine. The mineral in question is wa ter. Everybody drinks it, and most folks use it for bathing. The latter employment is considered by many non-essential, but as a beverage it Is so far indispensable that, if wholly deprived of it, all of mankind on the earth—not to mention the fowls'of the air and the beasts of the field—would perish in about four days. The crops, too, are made to grow by the same beneficent fluid, which, incidentally, furnishes power on an enormous and steadily-increasing scale for manufac turing purposes. To the harnessing of their rivers the southern states mainly owe their recent industrial rejuvena tion. * - The cost of living is increasing not merely in the United States but abroad, and largely because of the ar bitrary action of producers and deal ers in advancing prices. The matter has become serious in some quarters, notably In countries where the wage scale is low. In Italy the public au thorities are beginning to take matters in hand. The city government of Rome proposes to step in and fix a maximum price for all provisions, im posing penalties for violation of the regulations. Municipal ownership in any form is something to be wary of. but if such control takes the shape of checking extortion that adds vastly to the hardships of the people a great many may be inclined to condone the procedure. * Constitutional government is becom ig so popular that It begins to look as though no country with any pretense of being up to date will be content to remain without it. Even so conserva tive an old lady as the dowager em press of China has been seized with a desire to follow the fashion and has promised her people a constitution. Persia, hitherto reckoned among the most non-progressive of nations, is as sured a constitution, the shah having signed an edict to that effect. If Rus sia's czar does not wish to be help leesly behind the times he wflj gave to hasten to grant a constitugs* «o his subjects. Why not try it, even If dumas are not always as subservient to the royal will as might 6eem ad visable to the sovereign? Prof. David Todd has returned from his astronomical expedition to north era Chill, more than ever convinced that Mars is inhabited. And yet he took 7,000 photographs of the planet without once having to tell it to look pleasant. The man who discovered an affinity seemed to have things pretty well his own way until his wife announced that she, too, had located an affinity, and he was it. Twenty thousand pounds of prunes have been ordered for the fleet that is going to the Pacific. This is doubtless to train the men to be resolute board 114 «Tfl The spread of the cigarette habit among fashionable women will compel R the grammarians to score up a fem tne genddr to the word mollycoddle. fr If the canals on Mars are optical iUuslons. itds strange that the camera !%' goffers from defective sight. 1 NEED CO-OPERATION ' . ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS IN ALL BUSINESS UNDERTAKINGS. ON SOME LATE IMPOSITIONS Scheme* Devised t* Deceive the Peo ple and to Gain Support for Un Bound Financial Propo sitions. Harmonious co-operation is 'essen tial in any successful business. By co-operation is not meant such orga nization as the communistic and mon astic societies found in parts of the European countries, and occasionally existing in America. As co-op*r«.tioD relates to manufacture and commer cialism, it simply means a righteous regard on part of employer and the employed for the liberty and privil ege of both. It means of the laborer, a just day’s work for a just day’s compensation; and for the employer, services rendered for the wages he must pay. Interests of both are paral lel. One has his capital invested, money employed and the other has al so his capital represented by his abil ity to labor either in a mental or physical capacity. In England and in parts of Ger many, there are numerous societies, the workers in each being common stockholders and participating in all profits according to their holdings. In fact these societies are nothing more than the great railroad com panies and industrial concerns of America,'only that in the latter the stockholders seldom take an active part in the work performed. One who takes the care to study into condi tions in the countries where this form of co-operation exists, will find environments far dffferent from what obtains in the United States. In vari ous places and at different times at tempts to copy after the English co operative societies have been made in the United States. Failure has re warded the efforts made. Some few communities flourished for a time, then decayed. Propped up by the success of the few successful organisations in the old country, shrewd schemers have started different commercial enter prises in citias of the United States, supposed to be operated upon the co operative plan. When carefully stud ied, and the plans of the promoters dissected, it will be found that co operation in these cases seems-simp ly the getting into business on other people's money, and weaving around the enterprise such appearances as leads the unsophisticated to believe that from few dollars invested, great savings can be made. In fact the co-cperative plan is more for the pur pose of advertising a private business proposition and gaining trade from those who invest their dollars in the plan. It is a foolish thing for the resi dent of any town or farming commu nity to invest money in such enter prises, which means competition for his home town, the killing off of its business and the building up of con cerns in large cities. The earnest man or woman can see in their own home place splendid chances for co-opera tion. Established business systems as found in the rural towns, are splendid examples of what co-opera tion should be. The home merchant supplies the residents of the place with the commodities that they re quire; the merchant is the medium of exchange of the products of the farmer. In the transactions employ ment is given to home labor, and the little profits are kept at home for the benefit of all In the community. Co-operation can be simmered down to a strictly home-trade principle, and there can be no higher form, no sys tem Inaugurated that will bring bet ter results to the masses. Before you invest in co-operative mercantile schemes devised by shrewd business men In the large cities, study every phase of the question well, and you are likely to conclude that in your own town there is plenty of room for co-operative work. EQUITABLE PROFITS. Cost of Production Should Always Be a Factor in tn# Matter of Prices. Profits should bear an equitable re lation to cost of production. The farm er who has money invested in lands, agricultural implements, stocks, and other things necessary to carry on his business, when selling his products must take into consideration the inter est on his money invested, the wear and tear of farm equipment, the wages of hired help and a salary for his own service. When he sells his products for less than pays the expenses nec essary to carry on his work and culti vate his crops, care for his 6tock, etc., he is the loser. The same principles apply to the person engaged In any other line of business. There is inter est on capital employed, wages, taxes, license and cost of articles which com prise the stock necessary for opera tion. Goods must be sold at a certain percentage of profit or there will be a case for the sheriff or the bank ruptcy court. In dealing with our fellow men we should always bear In mind the principles of business, and not exact too great profits or sell or buy at prices other than equitable. It is also a good thing to remember when great bargains are offered that cost of production and legitimate profits must be considered. Too low prices give cause J for suspicion that goods are inferior in some way, or that there is-a “nigger In the fence.” Almost every small town has an ice house of sufficient capacity to supply the people locally with ice. It would not be very expensive to conduct in connection with it a cold storage plant of capacity great enough to care for the storage of fruit, eggs and other produce brought in from the sur rounding country. Such an. establlsh ’ ment would often save -farmers Qsn slderable money, by enabling* them isr*" r4“‘*tor * LITTLE TOWN HELPS. In these days of Invention nod p*t lie conveniences, it pays to be right up to date. Well graded and paved streets, shade trees kept 'in order, walks and ample lighting nuke a fa vorable impression ou the stranger who visits the place. * • * There is a wholesomeness in the right kind of competition, and In co operation; but neither foolish co operation or foolish competition has ever been known to help along the business of any town, unless it is “that other town” near by. o • * Sales days In the. town that is sup ported by the farming trnde, and some particular attraction that will enter tala and instruct the members of the farmers’ families, have been inaugu rated in towns of the west with good results. • « • The American farmer ia a progreo sive mortal. He is always ready to learn new things. He realizes more than ever the necessity of education In his business. He no longer ignores the fact that science Is a wonderful factor in his work, a money saver that must be considered if he suc ceed. The more intelligent is the farmer, the more Interest will he take In the furthering of the interests of his home town. * * * American public schools are the great props of national government. The more prosperous is a commuaity the higher will be the educational fa cilities. Good schools are a help to any town, and bring into it the most desirable classes who 3eek to educate their children. He who assists in building up the business of a town, also assists in bettering the schools. No town was ever mado great by Its people and these in its neighborhood giving patronage to distant institu tions. FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION. Prosecution, of Oppressive Combines Afford a Lesson to Homo Traders. Never before has there been such a stirring up of the masses and ar awakening as to rottenness in finan cial affairs among the large corpora tions as at present. Some one at one time said that "when thieves fall out the devil gets his reward.” Sc it seems at present when faction is ar rayed against faction in exposing crooked operations in great financial and business deals, in which the little fish are swallowed by the big ones, and the men in control, like wolves, lead the lanjbs to slaughter. It Is amazing how farspread are the frauds practiced, and how high up in public estimation are the manipula tors of the rotten deals. The stealings of the millionaires and multi-million aires, the intrigues and their perjuri ous lying and misrepresentations to accomplish their aims; the intricacy of the machinery used in their opera tions, the perfection of the means, the combinations employed to fleece the people of dollars, would do credit to a Gagliostro or a Machiavelli, or a Cart. Kidd. There cannot be doubt that these various articles appearing in the mag azines and general newspapers will have the result of opening the eyes of the public to things that few hereto fore ever gave serious consideration. They will have the effect of making the people more cautious in making investments of their earnings, and will result in le33ons that are bene ficial to the country at large. Home trade principles preclude the possibil ity of people losing by the operation* of such gigantic schemers. Money in vested in your own community in the development of its latent resources will give excellent returns, is ever under your own observation, and while the percentage of profit from some home investments may not be up to the representations made by the ma nipulators of stocks and the shearers of lambs in general, you are not so likely to be a loser. D. M. CARR. MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS. Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors and Attract Trade. How to attract trade to towns is a question that interests every business man. There must be some attraction for people of the surrounding country; some entertainment to please. Many means have been put in operation by different towns to bring about the ob jects desired. The people of the small er towns in different western states have inaugurated street carnivals, fall festivals and similar enterprises to entertain people from the surrounding farming sections. These methods have been universally successful, and have resulted in bringing trade to the towns that otherwise would have gone elsewhere. Not alone this, but the residents of the rural districts are brought in contact with the city peo ple on a friendly basis and harmonious relations established that are highly desirable. In many towns market days have been established. From early spring until late in fall one day in the month is set aside for “market day.” For this occasion bands of music are engaged, balloon ascensions, baseball games, races and similar attractions are em ployed to interest the people. All these are free, the expense being borne by the business interests of the town. The farmers are Invited to bring to the town their horses, cattle, hogs, ia fact, every product that they have for sale, and the same is auctioned off to the best advantage. On these market days all kinds of articles can be hail at bargain prices. Each storekeeper makes special efforts to offer bargains, and generally the sales are enormous. A few enterprising small towns that have adopted the market-day idea have become noted for many milea about as lively trade centers and take trade away from territory in the neigh borhood of less enterprising towns. The market-day idea is worthy of con sideration by business men in small, towns who desire tp pursue an pensive method of attracting th0: place. atooooooaooooocaooeosoooooosc&a»oc<y> r. - (Copyright?) All the members of the 'Winters family, with one exception, were liter ary. This exception was Dorothy. Mr. Winters was editor-in-chief of one of the large city papers, Clarence was re porter tor another, sister Mary was a schoolteacher, and sister Lucia wrote tor the magazines. As for Mrs. Win ters, she was president of the Brown ing club, secretary of the Woman's club, and an active member of a vari ety of other clubs too numerous to mention. It would seem rather strange that in a family so steeped in the atmosphere of books and newspapers there should be one black sheep; although to call Dorothy a black sheep were certainly a libel, for if there ever was a white, sweet, dearly loved lamb in any flock, she could lay claim to that distinction. The term is only used to convey the idea that she was different from the others. While they were all studious, thoughtful and serious in their tastes, she was the gayest, most careless and. so they all declared, the most frivolous little body in existence. Everyone loved pretty Dolly. She was so sweet natured, so generous, so full of vitality and sprightliness, that it was impossi ble to do otherwise. It never happened that anyone ever questioned the domestic talents and inclinations of Dorothy. It had been settled when she was quite a small child that Nature had intended her for a little housewife. She could make the most delicious desserts and the most toothsome confectionery; she had such beautiful taste in arranging the dining-room table and kept the house so fresh and orderly that no one ever suspected that she abhorred the dishpan, hated to make beds, or was made faint and • sick by the sight of raw meat when she went to market to select her father's favorite cuts. Dolly never said anything about it. Naturally, no one could be supposed to know. Now, it frequently happens that the careers laid out for us by our friends are not always the ones we should select it left to ourselves. This was the case with Dorothy. Secretly she longed to be literary, like the rest, instead of domestic. She did try to write sometimes, just as the others did, and worked hard over some ex tremely indifferent little stories which were destined to travel many weary miles between herself and various pub lishers. Dorothy knew well enough that her writing was very poor, and soon ceased to hope to distinguish her self in this way. As a matter of fact, she did not like to write at all. and only did so because she hated to be a drone in this literary beehive. It was simply a bore to her, and she spent much of her time making sketches on the margin of her paper, as Tommy Traddles did in David Cop perfield; only instead of drawing skel etons, she made curious brownies and grotesque animals that it certainly would have been no sin to worship, for they w*ere like nothing on earth nr in the waters beneath the earth. The family called them Dorothy s “queer j cows.” At last she despaired altogether, | and when the rejected manuscripts had all come back she tumbled them in a heap into a drawer, which she never opened without a very down-in the mouth sort of feeling. It Is to be feared that just the least little bit of a grain of bitterness was in Doro thy's heart when she thought of the position of the household director to which she had been so summarily rele gated by her affectionate friends. Still the old longing to do something kept pulling away at her, and when she began to beg to be allowed to take drawing lessons at the Art Institute, her mother said: “Why not let her do it? The dear girl has a good many lonesome hours when we are all away or busy, even If she is so domestic. Looking after the house doesn’t take all her time.” “Why of course,” said Mr. Winters. "If there’s anything in the world that I can do to give Dorothy a pleasure I’m only too glad.” “Oh, certainly,” said sister Lucia. “It will give her something to think of, even if she doesn’t accomplish much with it.” And so Dorothy was entered in one of the classes of the Art Institute, and then the family, absorbed In its own more important affairs, at once proceeded to forget ail about It. No-' body ever thought to inquire about her work except Mr. Winters, to whom It. occurred once in awhile in a vague, fashion. •‘‘And how are the ‘queer cows,' daughter? he would ask, pinching her soft, round cheek. “Oh, they’re just as bad as ever,” Dorothy would say with an answering smile. “They pop out on the casts and still life exactly as they did on the manuscript.” She was a brave little sou], and if she felt hurt by this indulgent neglect she kept it to herself. When she had been in the Art Insti tute for about a year without haviftg ever seemed to accomplish anything to attract attention in the least, Mr Winters began to talk very mucn about a new artist who had of late been sending in drawings as illustra tions of current events. They were humorous in character, and a good many of them appeared in his paper. Everyone said they were remarkably clever. Indeed quite superior to any furnished by the staff artists. The fam ily all enjoyed the pictures greatly, and they were the subject of much favorable comment after every issue of Mr. Winter’s paper. “I believe,” he himself said one day, “that this Henry Page Esmond has the making of a great artist in him. Those sketches of his are just bub bling over with fun, and his wit is keen and delicate. I believe his art will Had expression fa something higher than caricature, top.” §£ M w poV conttoual . - ■ her father. “I'm go'ng to invite him to dinner seme d.y—Ire never met him myself yet—and then you can show him some of those ‘queer cows' you used to draw.” The idea of inflicting these crudities upon the artistic vision of this rising man was excruciatingly funny, and the family laugh'd loud and long, Dor- ! othy most heartily of all. And so it was agreed that Mr. j Henry Page Esmond should be invited j the coming week Wednesday for din- | ner. Mr. Winter wrote him an invita- j tion to meet him at the office on that date, in response to which the young man—everyone seemed to take it for granted that he was your.g—sent a very polite note of acceptance. The day’s business was over, and j Mr. Winters sat in his office awaiting the arrival of the young artist. He was just saying to himself that Mr. Esmond was going to be late when the office boy brought in a card bear ing, in the familiar handwriting of that gentleman, his name. “Show him in at once,” said Mr. Winters in his most abrupt and edito- ’! rial tones. When he heard footsteps in the out er room he arose to his feet and made 1 haste to arrange his features in their 1 most cordial and engaging expression. The door flew open in a theatrical ( manner under the hand of the office ! boy, who announced, in a somewhat | muffled tone: “Mr. Esmond," and in walked—Dorothy! I*Tr. Winter’s countenance was in deed a study to gaze upon. He look ed at his daughter with eyes as round In Walked—Dorothy! as moons and opened his mouth sev eral times without making a sound. In short, he was completely bewilder ed until Dorothy, her sweet face all flushed and quivering, half laughing, half sobbing, rushed into his arms, ex claiming: ' t “Oh, papa, dear, don’t you under stand? I am Mr. Henry Page Es mond!” When her father had got her home at last, and they had managed to ex plain matters to the assembled com pany, the commotion which arose was wonderful i to experience. Dolly was laughed over, cried over and passed around to be kissed until she was quite breathless, while the parlor fair ly bristled with exclamations. Clar ence whirled her around and around in a wild dance, and her mother could ! not stop asking questions. Lucia look- ! ed at her rather reproachfully as, she ; slyly tucked her book out of sight; but Judge Whitman made her a most courtly and ceremonious bow, say ing: “I congratulate you, my dear." At last the heroine of this ovation escaped to her room to adjust her hair and gown, which had become sadly rumpled with embraces, leaving her friends to chatter and exclaim, and talk at the top of their voices all together. It was the proudest moment of her life. Maturer years brought other triumphs, but never one so glo rious as this. And thus it happened that Dorothy, while she by no means ceased to be domestic, did become an artist, and carved out for herself a career which had Its beginning in the “queer cows. ’ TO ADVANTAGE.

Inspector Johnson, of the Columbus Railway company, tells the following story of one of his new conductors: The inspector had boarded a car on one of the East Side lines and glanc ing at the register, noticed that there were nine passengers on and only eight fares. He touched the conductor on the shoulder, a green man from the country, and said: "You are shy one fare. There are nine people on the car and only eight fares collected.” “By gosh,” said the conductor, “that’s right,” and hastily grabbing the bell cord, he stopped the car and yell ing at the passengers ordered one cf them to “git off.”—Columbus Despatch. Worse and Worse. “The late Admiral Walker,” said a naval officer in Washington, “believed heartily in marriage for sailors. He pl ways urged sailors to wed. Nautical bachelors were held up to scorn by him. “Strolling with him in New York one day we met a young ship-broker. Admiral Walker hailed the young man delightedly. He clapped him on the back, wrung his hand and cried: “ ‘Congratulations on your marriage, my young friend. No more sewing on of buttons now, eh?’ “‘No, indeed,’ said the ship-brdker sharply. 'I wear a belt now. It keeps me so busy raising money to pay my wife’s bills that I have no time to sew on buttons.’ ” PLEASANT SUMMER. Right Focd the Cause. A Wis. woman says: “I was run down and weak, troubled with nervousness and headache for the last six, years. The least excitement would make me nervous and cause severe headache. “This summer I have been eating Grape-Nuts regularly and feel better than for the six past years. “I am not troubled with headache and nervousness, and weigh more than I ever have before In my life.
