May Days of
Preparation
It doesn't much matter what
your plans for June, July or

pleasant month 0f May you
take advantage of all of the op
portunities offered for prepa
ration. Last-minute shopping is dis
tressing and unsatisfactory.
The weather is "warm the
streets and shops are crowded,
and the stocks are not nearly
as fresh and attractive as they '
are now. Therefore be fore
handed and "let your head save
your heels."
Plan your summer outfit now,
no matter how small or how
extensive it may be; and not
only plan it but get it. You
will have a lot more fun later
on if you have provided your
self with what you need in ap
parel and sporting goods be
fore the season is in full swing.
If you have any doubt about
what you want look at the ad
vertisements in THE ENTER
PRISE and other good newspa-
pers .and you will find plenty
of suggestions.

By JAMES A. EDGEBTON
HELEN KELLER.
I think 1 have beard you complain of
handicaps, of obstacles, in the way of
your succeus.
I advise you to study the career of
Helen Keller. Then if you are not
ashamed of your complaints there is no
hope for you.
Helen Keller is blind and deaf. Be
ing deiif. she is also dumb.
Yet today she is a well educated
woman, known in many lands, a writer
of ability whose work is eagerly sought
by the best magazines, a lecturer who
is heard by cultured audiences.
What are your obstacles compared
to hers?
You have all five seuses. . You can
read for yourself, write with your own
hand, speak without being taught by a
long difficult arid laborious process.
You have five senses where she has
but three. But the two which she
lacks are those most needed for educa
tion and expression. Therefore you
possess more than five chances to her
three for winning success.
Yet she has won out, won in a nota
ble and noble way. You. then, should
be ashamed to fail.
Immured in her sightless and sound
less dungeon. Helen Keller had the will
to win. That is the secret Have you
the will to win?
Having tho will, she also worked and
induced others to help her work. Are
you afraid to work?
There are no obstacles so great but
what there may be a will great enough
to overcome them.
It is simply a question of measuring
up to your opportunities and to the
part you would play.
You say you can't write or speak.
Certainly you can write and speak if
you have anything to say.
You say you have no money. Lack
of mouey did uot prevent the world's
very greatest uieu and women from ar
riving at the goal.
Read the list of the immortals. How
many of them had money?
It is so with all imaginary or real
difficulties. If you have the will and
energy yon can find a way around or
over them.
Remember Helen Keller.. She found
a way.
So can you.

Joss Sticks.
Joss sticks are made in vast quanti
ties in China, and other countries of the
east. They consist of bamboo rolled
in stems in different odoriferous drugs,
two of which are aconite, which serve
to protect the sticks against the attacks
of rats and mice, and camphor, which
causes them to burn steadily without
being periodically extinguished.

BY THE MONEY POW
ERS, which have it in their
grip.
MONOPOLY IS THE MOST' VISIBLE CAUSE OF THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING. THE ENORMOUS PROFITS AMASSED BY DISREGARD
ING OTHERS' INTERESTS BY PUTTING UP PRI6ES WHEN THEY
SHOULD COME DOWN, BY PAYING EXORBITANT INTEREST TO IN
VESTORS, IS NATURALLY SQUEEZING THE AVERAGE MAN AND
HI8 FAMILY.
The steel trust last year got at least fifty million dollars, which by
right belongs to the people and which it should never have been al
lowed to take away from them.
The country will never gain its industrial and economic inde
pendence until it has RESTORED COMPETITION and ceased tc
talk about legalizing monopoly. It will never do this until it has dis
associated the trusts from the railroads and BROKEN DP THE
COMMUNITY OF INTERESTS which exist between them and
the corporations.
If an industrial commission was selected as a curb for monopolies
it would be likely to fall into the hands of the trusts and would end by
being the tool of the interests it set" out to master.
We should, war on monopolies by strengthening the Sherman act
and restoring competition. It is not reasonable to believe that the
iniquity can go beyond its present state.

prices but a cent or two better than
last week and early this week.

Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle 1789, calves 22, hogs 2432,

A higher steer market has marked
the week's business in the cattle di
vision. Monday showed a big run
and bidding was keen and Idaho and
Montana stuff brought $8.40 to $8.50
Thursday, with several loads from
Stanfield and Echo going at $8.75 off
the cars. The cattle supply through
out the country is limited and a
steady market is- looked for. There
was a fine butcher trade, but demand
exceeded the supply of heifers, bulls
and calves, so cows sold up to $7.40
and heifers $7.75 and bulls $6.00 and
$6.25, showing the strength of the
market.
Hogs continue strong, while East
ern markets are lower. Demand is
so keen that buyers continue to pay
$9.05 for best light hogs. This firm
ness may not last long but exists for
the week's close.
A better sheep house prevailed.
Plenty of mutton and lambs to sup

superiority cf grilled steak to fried steak.

than you can eat it. It is Perfect Toast because the
radiant heat forces the necessary chemical change
in the bread. This insures delicious golden Toast that
