Prices of produce at Simon Banks's !:
Red onions, 81 70; large whites, 81 !;
small whites, So; yellow, So; potatoes,
ST. rs; apples, SOC. The New York mar
ket is well supplied, therefore white on
ions are not as firm, while red are better
and so are apples. It is expected by
shippers that the first load or two of the
season and the last cargo or two will not
pay expenses, but this is overbalanced
by the rush to market that loads the YES
sci with 1900 or 1000 barrels, the freight
on which is 22c a barrel.

with her sister, Mrs O. B. Burton. Mrs
Owen, with her husband, is in charge of
one of the five cottages where the boys
of the Reform school are quartered, in
stead of being herded together in one
building as formerly.
A well has been dug at the unoccupied
White place near Burton Bros. There is
no good reason why Trumbull should
not be the home of scores of busy Bridge
porters, if our real estate oN ners view the
matter in its true light and hold out in
ducements to attract them.
A special socety's meeting is called
for Monday evening, 10Th, to consider
some matters of business relating to
the method of raising the church funds,
by the envelope system or such plan as
may be deemed best; to consider repairs
for the cracked bell or new one; also
heating the church by more modern ap-
planes. Matter of such vital import
ance to the church should draw out full
attendance.
Burton Bros. think the season just
closing equal, in the success of their gar
dening ventures, to the average, in spite
of the unusual lack of rain. Lima beans
never yielded better and So per bushel
was realized for much of the crop; to-
matoes sold at first for 81 per bushel and
came down in price gradually to SOC.
They have sold several hundred bushels
of tomatoes and good share of their on
ions brought 81 50.per bushel. Evident
ly the success of Messrs Burton lies in
supplying the Park City marketmen with
nice garden truck at the right time.
The marriage of Miss Mary Lynch to
Robert Brown of North Bridgeport, last
week Wednesday, was quietly solemnized
at the parochial residence of Father Nj
hill in the presence of few family friends.
Miss Mamie McGovern of Bridgeport and
Mr. Jennings, also of the Park City were
bridesmaid and best man. Miss Lynch
had been in the employ of the Copeland
Bros. Co. and was remembered by her
fellow clerks with pretty and useful pres
ents, including table linen, vases, quilts,
counterpanes, toilet set and many other
valuable gifts. Mr. and Mrs Brown went
at once to their future home at the
Thompson farm in North Bridgeport, of
which Mr. Brown has charge.
w. S. Wheeler has finished canning to-
matoes, having put up about 1000 cans,
much less than the usual amount, which,
some years, has been nearly 10000. Mr.
Wheeler's tomatoes were not as early as
they sometimes are, and his latest fruit
paid better sold right from the vines; he
has employed several hands during the
busy season.

"A striking example of the transiency
of literary fame is furnished by Henry
Melville, wac has died within the month.
Less than half century ago, he was inn
mensely popular as a writer Of adventure

We look back upon a period not Of
debt-paying but of debt-contracting, not
one of economy but Of extravagance. We
have just passed year, not Of large but
of small crops. AS in 1877 and 1878, so
now we need one or two or more large
harvests and economy in living to meet
old obligations and free ourselves Of an
oppressive weight of debt. These are
facts to be considered before plunging
into speculative enterprises on the ex-
pectation OF repetition Of experiences
Of 10 and II years ago. -[Springfield Re-

GROWING HOTTER.
The Controversy Between Finley and Chi

The Controversy Between Finley and Chi
cagO & Alton Officials.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The interesting
contest between the Chicago 81 Alton
road and Chairman Finley is growing
hotter Mr.. Finley's action in issuing
a circular set ting forth the arrange
ments made for the meeting of Che So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, to which
the signatures of all the general pas
senger agents except that of the Chi
cago & Alton were attached, elected
a forcible letter from General Passen-
ger Agent Charlton. The latter declares
that such proceedings would only force
the Alton company to issue its own
circulars and take individual action in
the matter of making rates and ar
rangements for the carrying on of its
business Mr.. Charlton intimated that
if this course were forced upon him, his
road would proceed to protect its own
interests in its own way, without re-
gard to any rules that others might
wish to lay down for its guidance.
Chairman Finley's decision, by which
the Illinois Central was called upon to
paw a fine for failing to put into effect
the order advancing passenger rates
from ST. Louis to Chicago May II, has
been reversed by the arbitrator to
whom the case was appealed. The ar
bitrators hold that the Illinois Cen
trails action was justified by the de-
claration of the Chicago Il Alton that it
would refuse to advance rates.

McKinley's Strength.

Major Mckinley will, according to
the present outlook, sweep Ohio next
fall for governor. He will do 1t, if it
is accomplished, on straight tariff
issue. The fight is being made on the
Mckinley bill and its effect on the bus
mess of the country. In that effect is
McKinley's strength. The new tariff
law is proving all that its most san
guine supporters predicted.
The cause of Mckinley will, too, be
aided by the farmers. There is no
more staunch friend of the farmer than
Mckinley. In speech a day or two
ago he drew tnis mastery picture
contrasting the low tariff period of
1924 with today as regards the condi-
ton Of the agriculturist:
Year after year their stacks of
wheat stood unthreshed, scarcely worth
the manual labor of separating the
grain from the straw. SO l0w was it
reduced in comparison with manufac-
tured articles that l have known forty
bushels of wheat given for a pair of
boots. Such was the state of things in
the western country prior to and at the
time of the revision of the tariff of
1924"
This indicates the condition Of the
farmer under the low tariff period
prior to 1924, and makes clear the
motive and action of the agricultural
states in fayoring the protective tariff
of that year. Forty bushels of wheat
for a pair of bUOtS Is the revenue
tariff policy now advocated by the
democratic party in the so called inter
est of the farmers. Forty bushels of
wheat today, after thirty years of pro-
lection and few months after the
passage of the tariff of 1890, will buy
not pair of boots alone, but an entire
suit of cloths and hat in addition and
with Overalls and rubber boots. The
home market created by increased
manufactures encouraged by a protec-
tive tariff has changed the condition of
the agriculturists of the country to
their advantage and profit.
The farmer doesn't want any more
farmers; he wants more mouths to
feed, more men who do not produce
from the soil, but who earn money in
the shop and he wants them as near
his field of production as he can get
them. The closer you can bring the
field of production to the field of con-
sumption the better it will be for both
producer and consumer. Ask the
farmer whether he would rather have a
farm beside him or a factory and he
will take the factory.

INGALLS, ADDRESS.
The Ex-senator on Some OF the Problems
of Government.

OF Government.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Ex-Senator
ingalls, addressed large audience at
the National Chatauqua, in Glen Echo,
npon 1.-The Problems of Our Second
Century" He began his lecture with
glowing tribute to Washington, eulogiz-
ing its many advantages as resident
city, referring to its lack of popular
suffrage and predicting that the time
would never come when it would be re-
moved from its present site.
Dwelling for few moments on the
progress of the Anglo-Saxon race, Mr..
Ingalls, then paid tribute to the people
from whom the American nation
sprung. Among them, " he said, ''were
no Hihilists or socialists" The Anglo
Saxon characteristic of individualism,
right of personal liberty, freedom of
conscience, and the development of the
faculties of every man was forcibly
emphasized. ut was a race" he said,
'that would not intermingle with other
races. The Chinese have had some
taste of this.
"The negro has had some melancholy
experiences and the anarchists and So
cialists, he added, amid applause, will
have a still more significant experience
before the Anglo-Saxon race is through
with them.
This government" he said finally,
sis based upon the New Testament,
upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, who
declared that all men were equal before
the law and that the fatherhood of God
resulted in the brotherhood of man.
This contest will have but one result
1 have no doubt that the progress of the
nation will he constantly upward.
In every crisis of history, in all the Bit
ter struggles of humanity through the
desolate tract of wretchedness and pow
epty, still the progress of the race has
been onward and upward. Out of every
struggle, out of every contest has
come broader liberty, greater oppor-
tunities for happiness and greater
prophecies of the development of the
race hereafter, and so out of this con-
test upon which we have entered will
come absolutely at last triumph of
liberty and social fraternity of the
American people and the continued
progress in the wealth, industry and in
telligence of the entire American re-
public

Farm Foreclosures.

The Topeka. Capital gives the calam-
ity organs a sensible dressing down
for their idiotic statements about 500
farmers being turned out of their
homes in Kansas every week.
The Capital ventures the statement
that "there have not been 500 foreclos-
ures against industrious farmers in
Kansas in the last three years. The
other day a number of foreclosures
occurred in Cowley county and it was
shown that in not single case was a
farmer actually evicted thereby. Men
had borrowed with the deliberate inten-
ton of abandoning the land. No
attempt was made to pay out.
"In SO per cent of the foreclosures
in western Kansas the land was aban-
doned directly after the loan was
made, the borrower sought pastures
new. and the Ioaner held the bag.
Great injury has been inflicted upon
Kansas by such financiering, in which
Wall street has been taken in by ad-
venturers.
"Of the IS farm mortgages released
of record in Labette county last month
the register of deeds states that not
one was released by reason of fore
closures. That doesn't look as if
26, 900 farmers were being eVicted
every year in Kansas"
We doubt if those in Dickinson
county who are disparaging Kansas so
severely know of a single instance
where there has been any hardship
caused by a mortgage foreclosure to a
score that have been to the debtors
interest,

There have been 419 selfbinders sold
this spring by the dealers in Abilene
to the farmers of this county while
enough others have been sold in towns
outside of this city to bring the num-
Der up to 500. At an average price of
Sl30 this represents an Investment on
the part of Dickinson county's farmers
of $65, 900 in this one class of machin-
cry. Does not that mean that there is
lots of wheat to cut? By the way, how
many of those 500 binders will stand in
the field all next winter?

FARMERS REVIEW.
Harvesting Progressing Rapidly - The
Weld GOOd

Harvesting Progressing Rapidly - Inc
Yield Good
CHICAGO, July 1.-The Farmers Re-
view says: Harvesting is progressing
rapidly in all the winter wheat states
except Michigan and Wisconsin. The
latest reports from correspondents
would indicate the average yield to the
acre in the various states where har-
vesting is sufficiently progressed to OBJ
tain reliable estimates, to be as fol-
lows:
Illinois, II bushels; Indiana, 20; Ohio,
IS TO 90; Kentucky, 10 to Is; Missouri,
10; Kansas, IS; Iowa, 10 to 20. The
condition Of spring wheat is unchanged
from last week, except in Wisconsin.
where there is a slight falling off.
The condition of corn is reported
'fair to good" in all states except Kan
sas and a portion of Iowa, where the
outlook is not so favorable. Oats are
poor in Illinois, Indiana Ohio and Ken
lucky; fair in Wisconsin, Iowa, Mime
sofa. the Dalotas, Michigan, and very
promising in Missouri and Kansas.

"The way to get more money with
out any loss of peace or self-respect is
to earn it by toll of brain or sinew, and
the funds thus acquired have no gnaw-

canker," says Judge Stone in the
Forum: The trouble with too many
people is that they would rather have
a canker than do any work.

The selection by the board of educa-
ton of Prof. w. w. Reed, of Solomon,
as superintendent of the Abilene
schools places in charge of the city's
educational system an energetic and
growing worker. The choosing of an
outsider seemed the only way to heal
the differences existing as to the
schools management and we believe
and hope that in Mr.. Reed there will
be found an educator with whom all
can work in harmony. All differences
and disputes should now be dropped
and everyone make an honest and earn
est effort to build up the city's schools.
