greatly reduced expenses. Prices for
foodstuls arc good. More money will go
into tho hands Of farmers this winter

the Church to- subscribe that amount

= The Supreme Court of Minnesota
has filed decision finding the dealings
in grain futures illegal and void. The
finding is one Of ultra importance, as two
Of the largest boards Of trade in the coun-

Duluth, the operators of which may now
repudiate their contracts with impunity
when OIL the wrong side Of the market
unless they deal in real wheat, oats, and
other commodities. The case is that of
Oscar Mohr and Anton Nielsen, dealers
on the Milwaukee board. The Supreme
Court finds as follows: "Contracts for
the sale and delivery of grain OF other
commodities to be delivered at future
day are not per Sc unlawful when parties
in good faith intend to perform them ac-
cording 10 their terms. But contracts i'll
form fer future delivery not intended to
represent actual transactions, but merely
to pay and receiye tho difference be-
tween the agreed prico and the market
price at 4 future price OF the commodity,
are void"

bring il. The roads leading out Of town
i'm all directions will he thoroughly ma
cadamized for four miles at the expense
Of the town, then the county commits
sioners will take hold and continue the
work for six miles more. Rock crush
ers have been bought and the work is
now i'm progrcss. 1t IS one Of the most
important movements that has been stated

keen interest by all tho towns that want
the trade Of the farmers. No town can
spend money to better advantage than in
the improvement of its roadways.
