V S I - The Commoner is to be enlarged, providing that even Mr. Bryan is willing to expand under certuin circumstances. Only 5,250 men have been secured in two months for the new' army. . Can it be that array life in the colonies has lost its glamor? "Do the dead deteriorate?" asks ' a Spiritualists' journal. The conseusus of opinion of the undertakers h"to the effect that, if not embalmed, they do. It's a long time ago and it seems ungenerous, but still we cau't help remarking that Mrs. Lot wouldn't have turned to salt if she hadn't first turned to rubber. A Chicago brewery employe eays he drinks on an average 150 glasses of beer a day. This cbap will get so he will make a hog of himself if he keeps on at this rate. If the English had been foxy, they would have settled that sidiug dispute by adopting the American method of laying the track at night and letting the Bear rear and tear the next day. Now that the negro question is about settled in the South, all that prevents the growth of the republican party down there is the highly objectionable class of ' federal office holders now in power. ': It is so human to hear the papers of Massachusetts, where the law disenfranchises mostly Democrats, denounce the new electoral law iu Maryland which disenfranchises mostly Republicans. Why don't some of those lame ducks, who wanted to get home to their neglected law practices, get there instead of banging around Washington begging for another govern-ment govern-ment job? The electric light flurry is now ; apparently safely over. Who .wanted electric lights, anvway? What's the matter a m with the lightning bugs and tallew dips? Who wants to throw off the grip of the coal oil trust? And still the drain of Utah's best blood to other states continues. con-tinues. . What is the matter? Why can we, not so revise local conditions as to keep the boys with us? The ambitious fellows are leaving and going to build up new communities. The savings deposits depart ment of the local bank indicates the prosperity of a community better than anything else can. Cashier Cummiugs says that the savings deposits of the Springville bank now are nearly 150,000. It all belongs to the wage earners and laboring men generally, business men patronizing patron-izing another department of the banking business. " - On A Cash Basis. Three of the leading mercantile mercan-tile institutions here announce this week a change of policy, wherein it is stated that the credit system is to be done away with, and business transacted trans-acted in the future on a strictly cash basis. This is not taken very kindly by some people, but most of the community w-Hl no doubt see the benefit of the change. Merchants who do not have to allow a percentage for the losses of a credit business can sell their goods, at a eloper margin and thereby save money for their patrons. The credit system is unjust to the man who pays cash, as he has to put up his percentage on account of the accomodations extended to his neighbor. Merchants many times ore compelled to borrow money from the bank at one per cent a month to pay for the goods sold on credit. Sometimes Some-times a merchant takes risks in extending credits which a banter never would; and thereby there-by through kindness of heart comes to grief. It is said by some that people who can no longer get credit will probably go to Spanish Fork or Proro to do their trading. At bot,h those places they will have to pay cash or put up security. Men of generous minds and with any sense of appreciation for favors extended them in times of need will cheerfully accept the new condition and spend their money with the firms who have accomodated them, rather than take their spite out by going to other places for their supplies, all things being equal. Everything being on a cash basis and no favors asked, the concern which offers the best goods at the lowest prices will get the trade, due publicity being given to the various bar gains submitted. ' There is in every community a class of deadbeats who will not pay their bills and who re joice in the fact that they can not be forced to do so. Even a credit system with a black-list cannot protect the xommuuity from, them, as honest people have, under ordinary circum stances, to indemnify the merch-' ants for their losses by pacing an increased price for their goods. Under a cash system everybody pays as he goes, dead beats and all, and honest men foot only their own bills. The Independent sincerely hopes the merchants will stand by- their new resolutions, and believes that the best elements of the community will stand by them in the endeavor. All hands will save money as a result of it. A Patent Shirt Front . An inventive genius in Maryland Mary-land has patented a shirt having a detachable bosom which can be easily removed and a clean one put on its place when soiled. Now, if somebody will only invent an attachment for the bosom of men's trousers, which can be easily put on when that portion of those important articles of a gentleman's gentle-man's wardrobe is in such a condition as to prevent the owner from appearance in good society, the problem of economical dressing will have been solved. Push. . Push is a talent as much as skill in any art, says an ex change. You can commence pushing by imagining yourself a pusher. Keep yourself before yourself in your mind as a 23,000 people are killed every year in this country by CONSUMPTION. The fault is theirs. No one need have consumption. It is not hereditary. It is brought on by neglect. You have a slight cold and cough. You do nothing to get rid of it. Shiloh's Consumption Cure will cure a cough or cold in one night.

A few days ago the editor hereof received the following self explanatory letter from a Provo gentleman. Pkovo, April 6, 1901. Editor Independent, SprliiKviUf, Utah. Dear Sir I notice in your last issue of the paper about a farmer in your city darkening: his hen house for an hour and the hens lay two eggs a day I would like to inquire what, effect it has on tho setting hens? Answer in your i.ext issue. Yours truly, We freely confess that the answer to this question is too deep for us, and we referred it to the farmer in the case. That gentleman said that at first blush he would be of the opin-ion opin-ion that each ees would hwJi, out twins: He wouKTfrA'a few tests, however, and report results. Next he began to talk learnedly on scientific poultry growing like an experimental farm report and then we came home. A Springville, business man also leels interested in tiir matter, and may make ome scientific investigations in hi' own poultry yards. It is said that he also contemplates testing test-ing the proposition stated by a man of science, wherein tin- theory is advanced that by chasing the hens around lively for a couple of hours in the morning they may be made to lay scrambled eggs. The town that rests upon its laurels, and thinks that it will grow because it has good surroundings, sur-roundings, is like the merchant who thinks his business will increase whether he , tries to boom it or not. He may hold hi own for a time, but in the end more' active competitors will surpass him. So it is with a town. The town that advertises ad-vertises grows. The town that don't push and hustle, and blow and boom, drags along in the same old style. Much has been said in relation rela-tion to new fads and fakes its an advertising medium, but the local paper is indispensible to the merchants. An inch of space in one of the local papers is more valuable than a barn full of circulars, dodgers and hand-bills; a paper is read by both rich and poor, and the advertisements properly ar- i'Iii.lO lulu :i.

Another charm of budding manhood has been destroyed it's no use for a boy to look forward for-ward to the time when he will be big enough !to get credit at the stores. The day when a young man can go into a store, buy the materials for his diurnal allowance of the manhood-destroying cigarettes, loftily remark "charge it" and stroll out, has gone. "No payee, no smokee." Henry Roy la nee and Sam Davis have another crop of tales of Idaho wealth to tell and lure our youth away. According to these gentlemen every farmer and stockman in Idaho has a nail keg of Bryan's money behind be-hind the cellar door and can get credit at the banks any old time. Money is so common up there that even burglars do not care to exert themselves for it. Do you know that American made steel is sold abroad at from $4 to $8 per Km less than it is at home? Do you know that a reduction of the home price to the foreign figure would enable ships to be built here as cheaply as abroad? If you do, meditate awhile on this one of the many beauties of the steel trust.
