RlCH COUNTY AND THE RINGS KNOW 1T.
Mr.. A. Edmonds, of Caledonia,
North Dakota, writes:
81 have 5000 bushels of wheat in
my granaries, and as 1 see by your
paper that you strike things about
right would like your opinion as
to holding wheat until spring for
better prices. You are on the wheat
rings in good shape. Please send a
few copies of your paper and 1 will
get some subscribers-I now read it
and then give it to my neighbors and
they think everything of it.
"Wehave an alliance here and it is
doing nicely. 1t is a good move on
the part of the farmer. We have the
finest country in North Dakota and a
nice lot OF well-to-do farmers. 1 will
write something of r. r. Bonuses
later. Have lived here since 1877, and
know something about the way this
country and the rings know it, and
they are bleeding u.s.
we will say that it is dangerous to
give advice on that wheat dial at
Chicago. When the market is heavily
oversOld the bulk of options are on
January 1st, and the rush to balance
the gamblers cards always brings
wheat up from two to ten cents.
The same thing occurs May LIST. But
this season the gamblers have
not OversOld to any extent on Janu-
ary-and therefore no great change
is anticipated. The best way is to
sell the whole, if January market
rises, within a fortnight of the first,
and if it does not, hold one-half for
May market.
TO MAKE THE FARMERS MISERABLE"
We have a sarcastic letter from a
farmer of Renville County, who
speaks-for two-thirds the farmers of
the county, in which our efforts to

NORTH CAROLINA, SELECTED FOR
PRESIDENT.
The election for officers of the
Farmers and Laborers' Union of
America for the ensuing year resulted
as follows: L. l.. Polk, of North
Carolina, president; B. H. Glover, Of
Kansas, vice-president; J. H. Turner,
of Georgia, secretary; H. w. Hick-
man, of Missouri, treasurer, and Ben
Terrell of Texas. lecturer.
Leonidas L. Polk, the new presi-
dent, was born in Arson County,
North Carolina, April "a, 1887, and
is of the Mecklenburg family OF Polk,
to which belonged Col. Thomas and
William Polk of Revolutionary fame,
and James K. Polk, once President
of the United States.
In the present movement towards
consolida ton and confederation with
agricultural and labor organiza-
lions, Col. Polk is a leader. He said
in discussing that he favored affilia-
ton with all organizations of the peo-
pie upon whatever points of common
l!lUeIeSU 1nlgnU eX1SJ, and believed
that in such confederation lay the
strength of the new revolution to
overcome the present great evils ex-
listing by reason Of class legislation.
The convention did not adjourn until
Saturday evening, having been in
session five days.
None of the delegates nor the press
committee were willing to disclose
anything in particular as to the pro-
ceedings, except to say theoretically
that the convention had refused to
place itself on record as to the tariff
question. 1t was not only discussed,
but deliberately SO, the revolution be-
ing favorable to a tariff for revenue
only. The majority of the conven-
ton reached the conclusion that the
question could be more proftably

know a man here who, before be got ia
nous and came 70 Washington, lived in a lit
tie town in the west There was but one
church in the town that Methodist, and they
needed NJ other, for they were all Of that
simple faith. Ny distinguished friend was
a superiu tendent OF the Sunday school in
those DAYS He went TO Sunday school in
the morning and TO church twice day each
Sabbath When he came TO the national
capital hi duties occupied much of his time
Even Sundays became not his own. From
going 10 church twice a day he got 10 going
but once But even this took up more Of his
time than he could spare. He timed the
preacher at the church he had selected to at
tend. and found that his sermons were sixty
five minu Is long.
He deci led on the spot that he would have
TO find preacher who could have his say in
less time Then he began 20 look up such a
man in he Methodist denomination He
timed the sermons in the various Methodist
churches. The shortest he found was fifty
minutes long That would not do, so he de-
cided 10 Try the Presbyterian churches. The
shortest sermon he found there was forty.
seven minutes The Bsptists were next tried
There he got down to forty-hve minutes. In
the Episcopal diocese he found some sermon:
that were short enough, but the service took
up enough time to more than make up the
difference So he went around TO the
churches Of about all denominations except
the Catholic, until in a Congregationalisi
church he found a minister who uniformly
occupied but thirty-tve minutes with his
sermon. Whether he is asleep or awake
now, he can always tell to the minute wher
the preachers time is up.-Wasbington Cor

A Dangerous Proceeding.

The Listener has in times past had some
thing TO say about the temerity Of telegraph
and telephone linemen, and Of artisans who
work In the top stories Of high buildings.
These people are not reckless, but they run
great risks. or pure recklessness, however,
l saw an instance the other day that it would
be hard to beat. A farmer was driving a
load OF hay into town, and was solacing him
self with cigar on top of the load. There
he reclined, amid the dry hay, putting away
as complacently as il he were In fire proof
smoking room. As there have been no hay
cart fires reported, the farmer presumably
delivered his load in good condition; but
viewing him from a common sense stand
point, his performance with the cigar was
utterly reckless and foolhardy. A stray
spark would have set the entire load into a
blaze, and perhaps the confiagration would
have roasted the driver before he could get
on Of his perch.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
