The masquerade carnival at the ice
rink last Monday night was not as

son in the interests of the creditors Of

Not since 1887 has wheat in the local
market been as low as it was last week.
No. l hard was quoted at AZ cents. In

Whether the same conditions will pre-
vail year from now or not, is I'M
known, but a more potent plea for d.
versified farming could not be advanc-
ed at present than the low price of
wheat.
