Dollar Decoys Did you know that there was a relationship between dollars Well it must be true anyway Did you ever notice that once a man gets a few dollars others seem to fly into his pocket as if by

Agricultural society Notwithstanding both parties had favorable planks in their state plat forms the initiative referendum and the recall is not escaping the bitter proposition of the politicians and the system If those who voted for John Cordeal at the recent election dont think he is making good they simply have to read the legislative proceedings and they will become convinced that John is there with both feet and all his mental faculties We predict that he will be termed the little giant of the senate before the session is over Culbertson Banner The final move has been taken in the deposit guaranty cases the Unit ed States supreme court has refused the motion for a rehearing of the Oklahoma case As the Kansas and Nebraska cases were identical prac tically this carries with it

Common Parent In One Aryan Root We are likely to consider freeze and burn ai two distinctly opposite effects but if ft a simple experiment you will touch your tongue to a bit of heated iron and to a bit of iron that Is extremely cold the effects as shown in the blisters produced and in the sensation of the contacts will be found to be surprisingly alike It is doubtful if our Aryan ancestors when they were planting the send of the English and its sister languages thought of the scientific relations of what we call heat and cold but they gave to us the root prus which they got out of the sensations produced by burning and freezing As usual Aryan roots beginning with the p sound change it to f on the tongues of the Teuton so with these our more modern ancestors prus became frus and from it came our freeze and frost Again as is usual our Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually preserves the Aryan p sound so he has from this root prush meaning to burn This root of freeze became freosan in Anglo Saxon which is our frozen In Icelandic it became frjosa in Swedish frysa and in Danish fryse In the Latin the original p1 sound is retained in pruina mean ing hoarfrost and in pruna signify ing a burning coal Here we see unit ed two apparently opposite meanings growing out of the old root prus New York Herald Self Reliance The spirit of self help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual and exhibited in the lives of many it constitutes the true source of national visor intl strength Help from with out is orten enfeebling in its effects but help from within
