ADULTERATED WHEAT.

An investigation is just now making
itself felt throughout the state, which
commends itself to every person of our
constituency. Michigan was once
famed TAR and wide as state in which
was grown the finest wheat placed up
on the market. Her wheat was by
common consent always given an extra
grade and higher price. Almost the
whole output of white wheat was
known as extra white" or mo. red"
Now both or these varieties are un-
known. and have disappeared from our
market. The grades that are upon the
market are inferior and hence the price
for the article is proportionately low.
We are naturally led TO enquire
what is the cause for this degradation
in staple article of production. 1t is
not because farming throughout the
state is in decadence, because the aver
age acreage has been steadily increas-
ing. On the contrary. as explained by
those who have Investigated the trouble,
it is owing to corruptness in the middle
men. 1t has become universal GUS
tom with these men, when endeavoring
to dispose of rejected quantity of
wheat to NIX it with small quantity
of high-grade wheat and thus hoist i
upon the market. In this way even
screenings from mill when mixed
with a very high-grade of wheat may
be sold as a fair article. The god
is thus nearly all corruptly used ald
there is not enough Of the article II IN
the market to repay its separate h ID
ling.
But some farmers may enquire how
this should effect them. 1t is simply in
this way. Some progressive farmers
always raise wheat of a hlgh-grade, or
what would have been called once tex
tra-white'. But they get but gsmall
price better than their slothful neigh
Dor. 1t is because there is no longer
an established market for that high
grade of wheat. The no. l article when
sold is not placed upon the market as
such, but is mixed with poor stuff and
sold. 1t surely takes little reason to
see that by this means the price FOR the
article is reduced all along the line; be-
cause worthless material which should
be thrown away is thus forced upon
the market and all good wheat degrad
ed
This is a matter which farmers
should exert all their influence upon
and attempt TO bring forth some need
ed legislation upon it during the COM
ing session.

A beautiful and valuable Book.

That ambitious paper, the Detroit
Journal, is unwilling to play second
fiddle TO any, and its new Year Book
for 1891 completely bears out its claim
of being finer than any previous work
Of the kind ever issued. This book
contains in its 14S pages remarkable
amount of valuable information, al
phabetically arranged. and among
other things, the complete 1890 census
figures, election statistics i'm full, etc.
1t is also profusely and beautifully
illustrated with over one hundred
"half-tone" engravings (from photo
graphs), all made expressly for the
book, and is printed on fine paper and
bound in a beautiful cover. 1t is an
immense improvement on It's two
predecessors and should be found in
every home. 1t is given free to all
subscribers of the Detroit Journal, but
others can have a copy mailed them by
renting 80 cts. in stamps to the De-
troit Journal.

THE MINDEN CITY FRAY.

Disregarding some hasty reports,
which are plainly far from unbiased,
and Judging rather from the account
given by the Minden Herald, it is very
evident that Marshal Cole was per-
fectly justified in his action, however
harsh it may be. The Marshal was in
the regular discharge of his duty. a
drunken bacchanaIian was making a
disturbance upon the public thorough
fare, and the Marshal attempted, at
first quietly, to restrain him. A Ascend
time he tried peaceable means but with
a like result. This time he, an officer
with q sacred trust, was brutally as
saulted for his kind services. Thus
it is perfectly natural he hould use
force. His service allows it, and cir
cumstances demanded it. He acted
accordingly and was set upon by a
man, evidently bull-dozing saloon
keeper. as if he were but common
ruflian engaged in a street melee He
was most foully set upon by superior
numbers and appealed to the arms
which law allows him to carry. He
feared for his life and shot to kill.
The simple state of the case is not
different from this; and as such pre-
SCENTS itself at the bar of public opinion
But this affair has other meanings
besides that Of mere case of murder
IL carries with il a significance and a
question OF right which is of Vita
import to The welfare of all our com
munitiss. Are eur village officer,

there is no one who would not prefer
to hear person talk properly. If we
must use the English language all our
lives why abuse so faithful servant :?
Use it properly. 1t will even serve you
more faithfully. Those thoughts of
yours will see daylight. You will be
more a man or woman.
Then let us consider a few of the
faults we commit against this servant
in common parlance. In the first place
we should be most careful in the use of
got. Got" is the past Of "get" and
should only be used in that case. We
should not say 81 have got to CO." But
if we wish to denote this case of neces-
sity, we should merely say, II have to
CO.. This mistake is one of the most
common with us. But there is an
other which we should shun as the bite
of a snake. 1t is the habit some people
have of using what is called the past
perfect form of a verb for the simple
past. AS, for instance, we would say,
al seen him do it," "He done it," etc.
We should say IL SdD him do it,""He
did it," These forms "seen" and
"done" are used as verbs entirely with
some form of the word "have". Then
we should be careful not to use such
form as "knowed," for knew. 1t sounds
very rude. Then again in regard to
ordinary abreviations in conversation.
We should not use "aint." No such a
form exists. If we would say Il amt
going" it should be changed to "I'm
not going" should we wish to abrevi-
ate. Cant" is all right. But "ar'n't"
is not recognized Then we should
never call "person" party. These
are but few mistakes we are apt to
make every day; but if we can remem-
Der them it will make us talk much
more like gentlemen and ladies.
