The Hope Pioneer comes to the front
with this bit of very good admonition !:
Farmers should he very careful the
coming season about getting in debt.
Bon't run in debt if there lisa possibility
of getting along without. 1t is a very
easy matter to get in debt in this coun-
try. but the way out is not so clear
There are many who run in debt with
out proper consideration, simply because
their credit is good. and there are as
many more who would be far better off
did they manage their affairs as though
they had no credit. 1t is better to begin
at the bottom rung of the ladder and
work upward. than to commence at the
top and work downward, as some do.
Keep out of debt"

Those Awful Stories.

In a recent issue of his valuable publi-
cation H. III. Windsor has the following:
IF there is any one thing that makes a
Dakota man sick at heart and ready to
tear his hear, it is to take trip east and
hear the natives l0(noan the wretched
condition Of our glorious country. One
gentleman, just back from New York,
tells the stories current there regarding
Dakota, where the wind blows so hard
that they have to put rocks in the tubs
to keep them from blowing away when
it rains. OF course cisterns are not to
be mentioned. Where they have no
fuel but hay, and live ON corn meal
Where the dreadful Indians roam SUI
preme and scalp man two or three
times, and prefer his heart on toast to
turkey with cranberry sauce Where
the zero mark on thermometers isplaced

ulation point. to give it start, and the

curry chance to touch seventy-fYe or
eighty ucElcco UclOW. Aucu W1Ilu up
by asking how far it is from st. Paul to
Dakota. and if there is good wagon
road out that far. No wonder the eyes
of the staid Yankee stick out when for
the first time he beholds the wonderful
progress made in the rapidly developing
and developed west. The novel accom-
modations, the mammoth farms of finest
soil, stretching out mile after mile, the
metropolitan cities with their churches.
high schools, opera houses, and by no
means least, the daily papers, for which
Dakota and Montana are famous. The
hustle and activity, the energy and force
with which enterprises are conceived
and executed. all tend to surprise and
astonish, and the never-failing result of
personal examination Of the west, is
the victim pulling stakes in his eastern
home and making all haste to cast his
lot with those of this favored part.''
