BUSINESS IS FINE. “We have no kick on business," •aid Mr. George Robinson, of Me- Creary & Company, Wadnoaday. “If our buainata continual to ba at good aa it haa been for the paat forty-five daye we will have had a aplendid aea aon. All wa want ta cold weather, for you can't expect people to buy winter clothino in summer weather." PLANT OATS THIS MONTH PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP. “If the cotton farmer will plant fifty per cent of hie available cot ton acreage, or about 18.000,000 acrae. In oate. (plant them deep with a rill to provont freeiing) he will have solved the problem of crop reduotion. At soon a» this fact is officially known through the department a* Wash ington, the value of cotton will immediately respond to th 6 new conditions and will advance at onaa to 10 or 12 conta par pound.” WEEMS A.

We notice tltat expressions of inconsolable grief over the results of the primaries come mostly from the sources, which hgve originally and ulwa>s opposed them, but the victory of the political schemer, such a* It is, hss been hardly won and costly.

Will London still dominate the styles for men? Will there be a new and distinctly American note in clothing? What will be the influence of the war on male attire? That there will be distinct changes in many classes of apparel as a result of European conditions is apparent. They may not. however, manifest them* selves until Spring are ready. In the attire for Fall and Winter are many at tractive patterns and fabrics even if distinct novelties are infrequent. The stores are now showing these new things and the advertising in The Herald gives the news of their whereabouts from day to day. INDOOR SPORTS he was alone. He walked around the room, looking for a place to alt down when suddenly a goblin tumbled down the chimney with a chair. It wag very small at firet, hut as Hubert looked at it it grew large enough for him to alt on. "Won't you sit down?” asked the goblin, pushing the. chair toward Rob ert. Robert was tired and he reached for the chair, when to his surprise he said "Oh 1 don't want to!" And tlie goblin took away the chair and dis appeared. Then a table appeared. It seemed j to come right up from the floor. It was filled with all kinds of good things: to cat all the cakeg and puddings l Roliert likol heat. A goblin appeared beside it and asked Robert if he would not like to eat his supper. Robert was very hungry, and lius lended to reply that he would, when to his surprise lie said instead, "Oh, f don't wunt to!" "Very well, If you do not want your supper, 1 will take It away," said the goblin; and it disappeared as quickly as It came. By ami b>. a goblin ram. In from another room. "Do you want to go to bed?" ahked the goblin. "Oh, I don't want to!" replied Rob ert "Very well, sit up all night!" said the goblin. At last he thought he would look jut the window, and to his surprise h» found he was on top of a mountain. He opened the window and looked out. Hnd all over the mountain wer* signboards which read, "Oh, I don't want to." Robert thought he should go mad If he had to see It as well as hear It, and he stood up In the window and jumped; he felt himself falling down atui lie awoke. He had been reading of the goblins who took away a hoy who found fault with everything, when bo t ell asleep, Robert got up and finished bis work and when his mother asked hint to go to the store, a little later, she was sur prised to have him reply, "Yes, moth er, I will go at once."

By John Boulter, Chicago Managed National Mutual Alliance. The plan of the National Mutual Alliance is somewhat similar to the co-operative movement established in IM4 by twenty-eight weavers of Rochdale, England. Following the i>lans of the Rochdale weavers so many co-operative societies were es tablished that in 1864 those societies combined and incorporated a whole sale and n anufacturing society, known as the Co-operative Wholesale Society. This society, whose known headquarters are In Manches ter, England, operates branches, de pots and warehouses at Newcastle-on- T.vne, Bristol, Liverpool and London, with sale and sample rooms at Not tingham, Blackburn, Huddersfield, Birmingham, Northampton Cardiff other places in Englapd and Wales. The Co-operative Wholesale Society Carries on'bustnesH as wholesale deal ers hankers, manufacturers, mer chants, shippers, carriers insurance and in all other lines of business not excluded by special legislative acts, such life insurance. The members of the Co-operative Wholesale Society are the retail co-operative members i societies by whom the capital ts sup plied. There is also In England an other Wholesale Co-operative Society THE WAR TAX&S The administration is to be commended for its decision to impose stamp taxes, similar to those of Spanish war times, rather than a spe cial tax on frefght. The plans for taxation, as agreed to in the democratic caucus. Include a stamp tax on commercial and legal papers, and special taxes on hanks, brokerage houses, theatres and other places of amuse ment-taxes which were applied during the Spanish war. There will also be a tax of 2 cents a gallon on gaaoltne, and special taxes on tobacco man ufacturers and dealers, and on domestic wines and beer. It Is estimated that $105,000,000 will be obtained from those various sources —-$35,000,000 from the stamp tax; $5,800,000 from hankers and brokers; $4,000,000 from tobacco; $32,000,000 from beer; $20,00,000 from gasoline, and $8,000,000 from wines. * In reverting to the stamp tax of the Spanish war. the democrats showed both wlgdom and ability to followr the good example set by another party, for it was the republican party which, in 1898, devised thf stamp tax system which worked so well and was so productive of revenue The value of a stamp tax Is that 4t la direct The fallacious theory which at tracted supporters of the proposed tax on freight was that the coat would be distributed. Even so, but by this distribution it would be multiplied many times, and the burdens thus much increased. A stamp tax ought also to produce results more quickly than a freight tax, and with less expense of collection The democratic members of congress were divided on the question and for a time a break between congress and the presi dent seemed possible. These special taxes will, of course, be Imposed only as long as war conditions make them necessary. They should be regarded as burdens to he home only until the ordinary revenue of the national government Is restored. It will be noticed that the burden of taxation rests on tobacco, wines Hnd beer —a total of $44,000,000. The remaining portion of the $106,- 000.000 total will be divided among various sourcea. The stamp tax is the heaviest single Item, but It will he more easily borne and more easily re moved than a tax on freight. An agreement having been reached in con gress. these extraordinary taxes will probably soon be Imposed.—lndian apolis News.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT By Tad and in the British Isles about 1,500 distributive, 120 productive and 10 special co-operative societies, the lat ter adapted to Insurance allotments and small holdings, motor service, cot tage buildings and so forth. The mem bership Is upwards of 2.600.000, rep resenting approximately 10,000,000 con sumers. The capital is between $150,- 000.000 and $175,000,000, annual sales between $500,000,000 and $600,000,- 000, and according to official reports of late date after pay ing all expenses of management, and adding upwards of $1,100,000 to sinking or reserve fund (which now amounts to upwards of $20,000,000) and paying upwards of $7,000,000 for interest on share capital, nearly $60,- 000,000 was paid in dividends pro rata on purchases. In the same year the official report of one of the distribu tive societies with between 9,000 and 10,000 members located in a town of about 40.000 inhabitants saved (paid in dividends) to its members (the “ul timate consumers”), upwards of $21,- 000 on meat, uwprads of $16,000 on coal, nearly SIIO,OOO on groceries, which together with savings on dry goods, boots and shoes, etc., amounted to between $175,000 and SIBO,OOO in one year abd in the year referred to business was generally depressed. The two wholesale societies own and operate sixty odd factories, ware houses and depots, own tea planta tions also own and operate steamships for transportation purposes. HE WANTED THE SAME.
