nUsTNEss rs BUSINESS.

The following clipping from the
Chetopa Advance expresses an idea In
a very terse manner, and asst Ia as APP
plicable to the people of Baxter
Springs as it is to those of Chetopa we
present it to our readers with the hope
that they will "see the point" after
perusingit:
A man in business in Chetopa re-
marked TO friend that he had been In
Che;opa for a year or two and that the
editor of the Advance had never pat
ronized him in any way whatever
"Well.r the friend asked, "have you
subscribed for his paper or advertised
your business with him" NO." he
replied. And yet lie manifested much
SUNRISE that We had not patronized
him. This is about as intelligent an
idea as some people have of business
They think they are comforting a FAVOR
upon a community by going into busi'
ness in their midst, and think that ev-
erybody because of their great Kindness
should flock to them and patronlze
them. We make il rule TO patronize
those who patronize us. There are
men trying to do business in Chetopa
who do not advertise line and do not
take either paper, and yet if no paper
was published here they would not re-
main in the town. When we pay IL
dime to such commercial squatters as
these il will be after Gabriel has blown
his horn for the last time. Such men
should not live in an enterprising com
munitv. and do not deserve the patron
age OF an intelligent people. They
have no public spirit, are to all inten,s
and purposes dead beats, and would
use false weights if they thought they
would not be detected. The best way
is to give such fellows the go by" and
palronize those who patronize the pa
pers and manifest some public spirit
in the community.

The Kansas City Times and Topeka
Democrat arc probably off in quoting
Secretary Mohler TO the effect that the
corn crop will be the biggest in the
history of the state. The crop of 1880
was 237 million bushels and we will
be lucky to come within 100 millions
of that figure this year.

Topeka Capital: THE farmers OF
western Kansas seem TO have been
"worked" to the extent of several
thousand dollars this summer by the
rain.making dodge. The scheme OF
the pretended rain makers is simple
and highly profitable. They agree at
several places 10 bring rain within Il
certain period no rain, no pay. The
cost of their operations is insignifi-
cant, amounting to few cents Tor
harmless chemicals and small salaries
to cheap employees. A months work
in dozen counties costs perhaps a
couple of hundred dollars. The silly
incantations amount 10 nothing, but
over wide area covered by. these OPP
orators rain is certain TO fall at one or
more points two or three times a
month ut q profit TO the operators OF
from $500 TO $500 for each rainfall.
On The doctrine of chances, which Is
the only scientific basis of the busi-
ness, the profits reach very pretty
figure for seasons work aud the de-
luded farmers pay the charges. The
late rain WAS general not only through
Kansas but IN Nebraska and Missouri
as. well. 1t brought an enormous
profit 20 the rain makers Of this state
and Nebraska and repaid them hand
somely for all the failures of the year.
No doubt dupes will multiply as IA re-
suit of the alleged success of the ex-
periments this week and the rain
makers will maize an excellent liveli-
hood off tho credulity Of. the farmers"

Just think of it! Ninety million
bushels of wheat raised in Kansas this
year and the first bushel marketed sold
at 65 cents. This means, at the
same price, $5S,5O0,00O of money,
And other crops are in proportion.
Will not the calamity howlers and
their auxiliaries be hard up for argu-
ments before the election next fall.

Senator Perkins introduced an
amendment to the deficiency bill, to

Mrs. Plumb is woman of great pride
