after Northern or foreign practices and
adopt their special crops for special
purposes. when we have better al

grow turnips for stock because their
climate is suited TO turnips and no,
suited to sweet potatoes They also
grow Irish potatoes because they can
grow them more successfully than the

How long would it have been
before other and further demands
would have been made upon the man
agement? These men reckoned with
out their host. They argued that the
Burlington could not fill their places,
but this has been done, and the service
restored to its former excellence. The
public need have no misgiyings as to.
the ability of the company to accom-
plish all it announces as being prepared
to do. The strike was failure from its
inception. The responsibility Of per-
sons and property is assumed by the
company. Hyou admire an institution
that has the courage of its convictions,
give it your patronage. It now stands
between you and the righteousness of
jealous competitors. The Burlington.
System was in advance ofall lines in
establishing the dining-car service. To
the Burlington is due the present fast
train service between the Northwest
and Chicago and St. Louis. 1t has been
progressive in the past, surmounted its
difficulties in the present and, if true
merit, courteous attention, prompt
service and sure connections, count for
aught, will in the future carry the
greater proportion Of fair-minded, lib
eral people. w. J. c. Kenyon. Gen.
