Reports from the different markets
in the state and neighborhood show
that grain Will no doubt open at good
figure. The price of wheat has been
steadily rising for couple of weeks in

Der. Then it will be time to sell in our
judgment.

not producing satisfactorily, we will
mention an experiment of the Rev. Ira
Billman. Mr.. Billman had piece of
land on his farm that was rumored
among the surrounding farmers as "toO
poor to raise whTte-b beans. 1t was TO such
an extent the case that he could not
get any one to SOW it for him. How
ever he sowed it himself and has ON it
the heaviest piece of oats in this sec
tion of the country. The soil did no
more for him than it would do for any
other man who carefully prepares his
ground with thought for its capacity.
Last Friday evening the people of
our town listened to one of the most
eloquent advocates of Prohibition and
Labor Reform. Both of these subjects.
although very different in themselves,
were handled in mastery manner.
And though we may not personally
agree in all measures advocated by
-partizans, we do respect and hon
or all means for promoting the public
good, in so far as they are Conscientious.
An opponent merely as such should be
We will not attempt to give
even a digest of Mr.. Malones speach.
SO we can not attempt even TO enter
upon his arguments Suffice it to say
that all that PrOhibitionists claim as
to the evils of intOxicants is almost
universally conceded The difference
begins here as to the practicability of a
local prohibition and advisability of a
general. We think we speak the opin-
ion of some of the best minds when we
say that if the saloon or open bar were
done away with the worst feature of
liquor would be removed. But Prohi-
bitionists generally injure themselves
just here in refusing anything like a
compromise. AS to Labor Reform the
question is more complex even. No
radical measures can heal it. 1t is of
our social system and can only be i'm
proved as civilization advances. Mr..
Vests singing was particularly pleas
ing especially his "Get there" He was
encored.
