ton the partnership between the rail

:v"The farmers and the railroads are
:v natural partners. The first thing in
qulred about by an Investor In new
railroad securities is the character of
,A the country which the road will serve
c/v If It can bo ehowu that the territory to
served by the new railroad Is a good
firming country the greatest trouble
finding the money to build hns been
.. overcome. On the other hand, the tirst
'-$ ..^question a farmer seeking a location
-."V'.Jin a new country asks is. 'What are
railroad facilities?'
"The thlugs most needed by the
farmer and the railroad, but which are
•m "neglected, to the detriment of both, are
.a better acquaintance and closer work
'•S jog relations. These mutual benefits
can be attained through the officers of
the Farmers* union, representing the
producers, and the officers of the rail
roads, representing the carriers, deal
ing directly with each other.
"This country now needs what our
forefathers used in laying Its founda
tion—a lot of old fashioned common

THE AMERICAN YACHTSMAN
No better type of man exists on the face of the earth than the American yachtsman.
Since 1851 the supremacy of American sailors and yacht designers has never been
S seriously endangered cm either fresh or salt water.

through It.
"I mention this to Illustrate one un
dertaking of the many which, through
the lack of system or Intelligent plan
ning in advance of the construction of
our inland waterways, make up the
$80,000,000 which Is referred to by
Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith as
wasted.
"The government has expended ap
proximately $225,000,000 on the Im
provement of the Mississippi river and
its tributaries. Tho tonnage handled
over the waters of the Mississippi last
year was one-third less than it was
twenty years ago.
8hould Make More Farme.
"The story of government extrava
gance of this kitul is being told so
broadly through the newspapers that
the masses are beginning to realize
that something is wrong.
"The same disregard of the value of
money would send the strongest pri
vate business in this country into bank
ruptcy. A proper use of the pruning
knife in a downward revision of ex
penses would bring surprising results.
"It Is not practicable to itemize where
reductions should be made, but they
mudt come. The deficit should be
cared for by reducing expenditures and
not by raising taxes to increase rev
enues.
"The European nations an teaching
us a lesson. The controversies in Eng
land. the recent troubles In Spain, the
unrest in Russia, the quarreling over
military taxes in Germany aud the
struggle against new taxes In France
should strengthen our faith In the
proposition that it is better to grow
more farm products and make pros
perous the man who sows and har
vests than to build more battleships
and new guns.
"Secretary of Agriculture Wilson re
cently said that the most pressing
needs of the United States are a great
er proportion of farmers and more
farming land in cultivation.
"We would better siend more of the
money we burn up in powder in mak
ing new farms.
Gun't Pries Would Make 196 Homes.
"A forty acre farm of irrigated land
will comfortably support a family of
Are. It costs $5.1,000 to make a twelve
inch gun. The money that goes to pay
for this guu would reclaim 1,571 acres
of land, providing homes for 100 peo
ple. When all the guns on all the bat
tleships are shot one time the govern
ment blows off in noise and smoke
$150,000. This would reclaim more
than 4,000 acres of land, giving homes
to more than 500 farmers and their
families. The money consumed in pow
der Is lost to all the future. The farmer
who buys the reclaimed land must pay
the government buck in ten years, so
it does not cost the government any
thing to build up the country by help
ing the farmer. We should make more
homes and not Manf fighting ma
chines."

Practical Hint ror ttcnooiym*.
A novel proposal mndc by u woman
Inspector has come under the consider
ation of the Itomford (Knirlandt school
managers. It Is that schoolgirls shall
become their own dressmakers. Needle
work in elementary schools Is at pres
ent confined to odd pieces of mis«?tl
laneous cloth obtained at trifling cost.
Tho lnspectress proposes that the girls
should be taught to mend clothes and
to make complete garments suitable
for their own wear. The Idea is re
garded as excellent, but the provision
of material to make complete dresses
would involve a considerable expendi
ture. The view of the managers is
that it would amount to giving the
children free clothes, and this princi
ple they are not prepared to adopt. It
is probable a way out of the difficulty
would be found If the parents pro
vided the material.
THE DENTISTS EXTRACTED.
No Laughing Gat Used In International
Row In Berlin.
The sessions of the fifth interna
tional dental congress, held in Berlin,
have been enlivened by an unexpected
diversions, owing to the refusal of the
American dentists resident in Berlin
to have anything to do with the affair.
The local Berlin committee which or
ganized the congress decided that the
privilege of membership should be
granted only to dentists who practiced
in the countries where they had pro
cured their diplomas. This excluded
about all the American dentists in
Europe.
When the delegates from the United
States arrived and began to inquire
why their Berlin colleagues were ab
sent the committee tried to rescind It*
ruling, but to no avail. The resident
I practitioners declined to accept the be
lated Invitation.
The American dentists of Berlin
have obtained a position which their
native competitors could not reason
ably be expected to regard with un
mixed satisfaction. The kaiser, the
kaiserln and most of the arlstoeratry
have American dentists, and the Ger
man practitioner has to take what is
left.
.WORLD'S FAIR IN PANAMA.

Canal, an Official 8ays.
I Shcrbum M. Becker, ex-mayor of
Milwaukee, Wis., known as the "boy
mayor" of (hat municipality, was at
the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City
the other day. He recently returned
from a visit to Panama.
"They sire prep: rlntj to bold a

"The canal will be completed in

canal zone arc splendid. I did not sco

Mas a Devioe to Muzzle Roosters.
The recent municipal edict In Wash
lngton against crowing roosters has
aroused the inventive genius of a man.
who has devised a rooster muzzle. It
is a simple collar of leather with a
small cotton pad fastened around the
rooster's neck sufficiently tight
throttle the vocal organ. The corpora
tion counsel has been asked to deter
mine the unique question whether to
muzzle roosters Is legal.
Joka on 8enator McLaurin.
Senator McLaurin of Mississippi Is
perhaps the most gallant member of
congress. He never lets an opportunity
escape to say nice things about
worn
en. They are telling a good joke about
him in this connection. The senator
and Mrs. Mcl^aurin recently called
upon some friends. There they met a
congressional friend and his wife. The
senator took occasion to compliment
the woman several times during the
evening upon her good looks, charm
lng gown, etc. The host brought up
the subject of politics and handed
the
senator a newspaper clipping in
which
reference was made to him. "1
will
take It home with* me. if you don't
mind," said the senator. "I neglected
to bring my glasses with me, and I am
practically blind without them."
Two Boy Kings.
On* la a ead little Persian boy.
Latest and least of an Inbred line
The other Is romping in riotous Joy
Where the bees take toll of the buck
wheat vine.
One has all of a courtier's grace
And speaks with an accent low and
sweet
The other la loath to wash his face
And tracks tha floor with his muddy
feet.
One has a palace all his own.
With lackeys to meet his every wish
An old pine stump 1b the other's throne
Near the lazy stream where he loves to
fish.
One Is pale in his gtld and lace.
Cursed with a power he does not crave
The other is rough, with a freckled face.
Seldom silent and never grave.
One as he grows will ever fear
The rending bomb and the bravo's knife
The other will drink while he lingers here
Lonjr and deep of the wine of life.
Two boy ktnprs. one tame, one wild.
Parted by leagues of rolling sea
One Is a sad little Persian child
Hie other monarch belongs to me.

shows you how.
Mrs. Fred Warner, formerly living
on Kouth Eighth street, Madiron, S.D.,
pays "Five years ago my little boy
suffered from a weakness of the kil
nevs. He icame very restless and
often complained of his hack paining
him severely. He seemed to have no
control over the kidney secretions,
especially during the night. Not long
ago my daughter also began to suffer
iron) a similar complaint and as I had
seen Doan's Kidnej Pills highly re
commended, I decided to give them a
trial. I procured a box at Ander
son's drug store and the resnlts were
so gratifying that I procured a fur

completely cur?d and my ton is stead
