--Mayyille Tribune: Higher prices for wheat
have been predicted all around but somehow
they don't seem to nlaterialjzs as much as ex-
pected. II slow selling will help towards tho
attainment of higher prices, tho farmers of
North Dakota are certainly pursuing the prop
or course this autumn. Wheat receipts are
unusually light all over The state.
This year, remarks the Mandan Pioneer,
the facts demonstrate that flax is a more
profitable crop than wheat. 1t seems to stand
the dry weather better. Farmers in this coun-
ty who have grown flax this year, have aver
aged greater yield per acre than wheat, and
1t has netted them about 80 per cent better
price when they brought it to market.

come better he will again resume his studies
there.

the preacher, the hearse and pail bearers.
This would save much expense and give the
family needed rest Dead bodies should moi
be taken in churches, and funeral sermons
should be delivered after the body has been
consigned to the grave. Tho family should
take leave OF the dead at home and there
