After paying expenses, ETC., there
was saved to the farmers on wheat
81 cents per bushel, barley 3 cents,
flax 10 cents, oats 3 cents, timothy
seed 10 cents. making total of
$37 ,5S5 saved.
We also furnished hundreds Of tons
of coal at from 1925 to 81 per ton less
than it had ever been sold for before
we went into business.
Last fall we built a new elevator at
Magnolia, with capacity of 10000
bushels. We paid such prices for
grain that all the other elevators in
town closed up, and still we did
business on paying basis, so our
stock is at premium Of S. per share.
In 1892, while at ST. Peter, found
that the price paid for wheat there
was cents per bushel less than we
were paying at Adrian.
st. Peter is 90 miles from Mime
apolis. Adrian is 200, giving St. Peter
nearly cents per bushel the advan-
tage on freight, which would make
nearly 10 cents less that farmers
were getting for their wheat at St.
Peter than they should.
Last year the farmers built an ele-
vator of their own at St. Peter; now
they get4 cents per bu. more for their
wheat than we do at Adrian, which
is accounted for by the difference in
freight. 1t shows what the farmers
can do if they choose.
The apprehension of the enormous
wealth aggregated by those who have
been the great instigator by which
the movement of undertaking the
grain business by the farmers indie
pendently has been brought about.
| personally know men who have
been in the grain business for the
past fifteen years, who now live in
$4,000 to $4,000 mansions, own con-
trolling interest in national banks,
own large farms worked by tenants
and have numerous elevators scatter
ed through the country. Twenty
years ago these same men hauled
wheat to the nearest railway station,
camping under their wagons like the
rest of us to save hotel bills.
This was conclusive evidence to us
that they were not in the "biZ." Just
for their health.
Now, if the farmers in every cOun-
ty in the state would form company
to handle their own grain and coal.
we could soon have a commission
merchant of our own in Minneapolis.
and eventually state elevator at
Duluth. If the decision in regard to
the state elevator bill does not arouse
the spirit of rs, among the farmers
of this state and cause them to take
hold and help themselves. then they
have the spirit of slaves. Having had
experience on the board of directors
of both the Adrian and Magnolia ele-
vatOrs, since they were started, l
think l can give the farmers some
practical advice concerning these
matters.
If we had known as much about
the business at the beginning as we
do now, it would have been of great
value to u.s.
If the farmers wish more infOrma-
tion on the subject, write me before
the first Of May as shall be away
from home most of the time after
that date. Give your county as we'll
as postoffice. L. G. LONG.

disgusting than a soiled white Dress and
nothing more refreshing than an immacu-
lately laundered one. Some very dressy
gowns are made of the fine white swisses
that have dots of silk. These are made
into evening gowns with under slips of
silk of the color of the dots Some of them
have embroideries to match the silk dots,
and they make very fetching gowns. Dim
ity holds its own as a cool-looking material,
and has beauty all its own. There is
rothing manufactured that is as easily
Numbered and kept white as dimity, and
its wearing qualities are unequaied.
ValencienneS lace is now 'yellowed" in
accord with the fashion of the moment,
and more charming than ever on the dim
tiles and dotted swisses. A beautiful or
CANDY, with purple violets scattered over it,
was made up for fair young girl in her
first season last week, and is about the
prettieSt thing of the kind turned out The
full, straight skirt hangs over a gored
foundation of white percaline, and is trim
med to the knee with spaced encircling
rows of Valenciennes Insertion, each of
which is edged with a row of baby ribbon in
violet. The blouse waist is made with sew
eral rows of shirrng at the top and full
ress at the back and front, and the front
helotrope satin ribbon that is clasped
about the waist with a silver buckle. Three
rows of insertion finished with ribbon,
on the skirt, cross the front of the waist
below the shirring, and the same kind of
trimming forms the puffs of the gigot
sleeves, with a ruffle of the lace at the
elbow. The standing collar is band of
the ribbon, with wide spread bow at the
back. BELL BALL.

The Princess Had Aspirations.

From the Pail Mali Budget.
When any sickness is on the way the
Duchess of Teck likes TO rank herself as be-
longing to the nursing professional least
By an old aspiration Fer in her epic youth,
when, like every one else, she intended her
life to be simple, unique and devoted, she
imagined she had a mission for nursing.
She did not intend to do by halves what she
would very willingly have renowned the
rcrld to do with her whole heart But the
icea of lady's devotion to nursing as an
occupation was startling one in the mid
die of the century; and the queen, who in
fuenced the middle OF the century and was
influenced by il, refused affectionately but
firmly her consent to her cousins project
Tor career. Her majesty even used the
word ''unwo.nanly'' in describing that ca
rter, from which one may suppose that
Florence Nightingale and her band had not
yet given decorous poetry to nursing as n
vocation for the educated woman No doubt
the queen also judged that the Young
princess could not be spared She was. in
fact TO become the grandmother of kings
Ana TINS week she has recalled with smiles
the bucketfuls of tears" shed when her
young ambition was denied its scope.

more sensible in that respect. A lady may
now receive her most intimate friends in
her hammock gown and include among
them man or two if she likes. The gown
is nothing more nor less than the old tea
gown under rseudonym. 1t is generally
made with a moderately close fitting back
and loose f:Cnt. The empire is very
much in favor for hammock gown,also
My pretty friend showed me an ivory silk
gown that she wears or very ceremonious
loose front shirred at the throat, with the
side fronts coming over it, beautifully en-
broidered in pale blue silk. The pulled
sleeves have a plain cuff with n band of
the embroidery. 1t is as dainty and ex-
quisite can be.
Another charming one, which will be
seen on the veraDda of a cottage at Old
Point Comfort soon, is of lavender nuns
yelling and cream silk and lace 1t has a
long train to the Vatican back, and the
front is of plated ivory silk with reyers of
lavender mOire. The sleeves are of alter
nate puffs and ruflles of the yelling and
lace. Another lovely gown is much after
the same fashion, but the material is fine
linen, and the ruffles and insertion are of ex-
quisite handmade embroidery.
remarkably fetching gown is composed
of lace and heliotrope serge. The cream
points in front and caught with bows of
heliotrope satin. The bodice is rounded,
but there is jacket of the bourbon, which
comes down Longer, and is belted with
heliotrope ribbon at the waist and across

WOMAN'S RIGHTS,
It Would Seem Ms If She Already Had
Enough to Satisfy Her.

From the Boston Herald.
1t is not quite easy to explain the vitality
at the present hour of certain old Questions
affecting what are called the rights of
women. Men have been patiently, and, on
the whole, conscientiously trying to give due
recognition of these rights for the last quar-
ter of a century. Women, married or single,
can do in these days with their property
very much what they please. The husband
his wife's earnings, and in testamentary
disposition woman is rather more free
than a man to do what she likes with her
own. The learned professions are open to
women and the universities have at least
furnished them with "annexes' and admit
ted them to competition for degrees. They
can give their minds to the study of Greek
or the making of puddings; they can become
journalists or take to fencing with the small
sword; they can sit on school boards or bet
on the horse races, and nobody has either
protest or comment to offer on the emanci-
patton of the sex.
But 1t seems that all this is not enough
or, rather, that it has merely created an
appetite for more. Female familiarity with
occupations hitherto pursued by men an
pears to have developed a certain contempt
for the male intelligence. Man. it seems is
sad buBgler whom women have allowed
to arrange the whole social system and
manage or miscarriage it all these ages
without ever seriously examining his work
with a view to considering whether his ahiI-
tiles and his methods were sufficiently good
to qualify him for the task" But now that
she has begun the long-defefred process of
examination and judgment man is found
wanting and must take back seat.

Isn't 1t FctchinUf

an "antimacassar," or words to that effect
The very latest hammccks are closely
woven and have regular side curtains, which
reach almost to the floor. These side pieces
designed to hide the shape of the body in
the hammock, are sometimes made of
thickly plated fringe. With long tassels, and
often they are simply a valance of some
soft drapery stufs The pillows are covered
with SILK or silkaline, of color to harmon
ize with the general effect. They are usu-
ally square and have deep ruffles all around
them. They are buttone1 across one end
hence can be easily removed to clear them
A hammock, to be perfectly comfortable
should be stretched pretty straight and be
nearly four feet higher at the head than the
foot. 1t should be swung low and be we'll
stretched. If the hammock is swung on the
porch or veranda there should be a nice
floor rug to protect the skirts, for of course
they will fall over the side and on the floor
as the occupant lazily swings to ard fro
Such a floor cloth is very handsome il made
or Mexican blankets, but one can't always
anord them, and a very cheap, and, IL care
fully selected, an equally handsome floor
rug, may be made of horse blanket They

But as my pretty friend said. You can't
