Hold Cheap Products.

The different farm productions are
going into the possession of those who
deal in them between producer and con-
sumer, at low prices.
Speculation in the neceSSarieS Of life
is now in vogue, and there is profit in
dealing in staples when they can be
bought below the cost of production.
Our several staple crops are exploited
Systematically by spectators.
Consumers payaS much now for meats
and breadstuffS of various kinds as
ever, while producers get such prices as
will surely limit production. Beef and
corn are so low that less will be pro-
duced next year. Combinations can
bear prices to consumers and raise prices
to consumers. but cannot compel pro-
duction beyond profit, nor consumption
beyond ability to buy. There is scarcely
farm product that gives fair wages to
the grower, while the consumer rarely
in our day has had to pay so dearly for
what he buys. Penal statutes cannot
reach the case. Natural retribution
will. Meanwhile, producers should hold
on like grim death to what sells too low.
and shun like the plague all goods han
died by trusts. That will tell III time.

The strength of the American Build
ing and Loan Association lies in the
fact that large proportion of its nom
borrowing members live in localities
where interest is low and money
abundant. and borrowing members
where wages and rents are high and
money scarce. This enables the society
to act as distributor of money, aud as
equalizer of rates among its members.
The possibilities of this state OF affairs,
taken in connection with the usual
sources of profit and advantage in CO.
operation, are almost too obvious to
note, and they conclusively demonstrate
the possible future for the society. The
American is doing the leading business
OF its kind in the United States, and is
fully equipped to maintain its position
in the future.

The loungers in the hotels yesterday
seemed to have little else to do but
think of the father of their country.
They sat around the stove in the Mer-
chants and squirted tobacco juice at the
black squares in the marble pavement,
They talked bout the weather and sun-
dry other uninteresting topics, inter-
Spersing the languid conversation with
occasional adiournments to the bar. A
few of them snapped lies to create va
riety and to scaGdaize the ghost of

Ex-senator Halvor Steenerson, of
Crookston, sat around most of the after
noon discussing Duluth q Winnipeg
land grant legislation. He said, at
least. the lands affected were given to
the state by the federal government to
be used tor opening up that part of the
country. "Of COURSE" he said, ''the
state has the power to devote them to
any purpose il desires, and if it wants
to use them for some purpose for which
they were never intended, it can do so.
To transfer these lands to the school
lands. is doing a great injustice to the
surrounding country, as it will not
open up an acre of land. The Duluth

Pacific. and some line is necessary to
their development.

Hints and Facts That May Be of
Value to Tillers of the Soil.

No better food fer sheep and calves
can be secured than Yell-cured second
growth of clover. 1t is usually rather
dark in color, for at the time of year it
has to be cut it is almost impossible to
ge t it in the barn without willing. But
it has smaller stalk and more leaves
tia an the first growth. 1t is also, we
th ink, richer in nutrition, though
this belief is based OH the thrift of ami
mails eating it, rather than on analysis.
It is the second crop clover that bears
the seed. and we believe nature gen.
orally reserves her highest energies for
the plant at the time it is bearing seed.
If the hay is left until the seed is fully
formed, the stalk becomes woody. but
