anger at the following clipping from the
Bloomington Bulletin, which was repro
duced in yesterdays issue of THE CAIRO
BULLETIN: "But in Mary Baugh's frail

words in the above paragraph contain ian
unnecessary and cruel fling at himself and
an unjust reflection upon saloon-keepers

The sand pits along the Mississippi
river bank are covered with water so that
no more sand can be procured from them.
But thoughtful men, with an eye to the fu.
turc, were engaged when the water was low
in hauling sand to higher ground where
the water can not reach it, and they are now
able to supply the wants of builders with
sand in spite Of the high water.

There isno longera question that salt
is a protection to wheat AGAINST the ravages
of chinch bugs. 1t has been thoroughly
tested by farmers in the west during the
past year or two and in every case it provcd

wheat in the early spring, or in the fall if
the bugs are troublesome at that season
