Gdrnen Eagle: The Farmers Alli-
ance Is getting good deal Of free adj
vice nowadays and is being treated to
long disquisitions on hard times. We
believe the chief causes Of hard times
among farmers of eastern Kansas are
these three: First, recklessness In
buying too much useless farm machin-
cry on credit at exorbitant prices.
Second, wastefulness in allowing farm
TO lie around unprotected
when not in use. Third, buying all
manner of patent rights and cheap
John articles from slick-tongued agents
and sharpers If the Alliance will
our farmers against these evils
it will accomplish a great amount of
good along these lines.
The REGISTER modestly hopes the
people of Allen county will appreciate
its generosity in Voluntarily agreeing
to do their public advertising for half
of the rate allowed by law when, mas
much as there was no competing3bid,
it might have been awarded the con-
tract at full rates. If times were good
and everybody making money this
half rate offer would not have been
made. But as long as times remain
close and every dollar added to the
public expenditure is felt by the peo-
Pile. the REGISTER is willing to do all
it can do and live, to tighten the bur-
den Of taxation.
Last winter Mr.. H. E. Kinkade, col
lector for the United States Express
Company at Des Moines. Iowa, was
severely troubled with chilblains. The
and intense itching of his feet
was q great annoyance to him. He tri-
ed several remedies without benefit,
but fortunately bought a bottle of
Chamberlain Pain Balm. He says
he only applied il three times until his
feet were entirely well and free from
itching and swelling. For sale by all
druggists.
Our Bayard CORES pondent presents
some pertinent suggestions in the mat.
ter of the support of paupers. II is the
general understanding that INDECENT
persons are supported bv the county
at their homes only when the cost of
go doing is less than would be the cost
of maintaining them at the county
farm. If there are insta noes in which
this is not the case, as Our correspond
ent seems to show, they should receive
the attention Of the Commissioners.
They had baby show down at Iols during
the holiday, and Charley Scott was selected as
