NOT FRUGAL.

A thing that cannot be preached
against too much Is the thing that
preaching about has so little effect. Ex-
travagance IS the bsne Of American
life
Ofall the nations Of the world the
Americans are the least frugal In
many parts Of the country we seem TO
have little idea Of what frugality is.
The untitled fields, the jagged rocks, the
weedy fence corners Of the American
farmers, stand out in lamentable contrast
to the cultivated fields Of his German
and Swedish neighbors In travelling
through the country 1t is not difficult
to tell the different nationalities Of the
tenants Of the farm. This is an expert
ence to which every one can attest. 1t
takes very little observation to convince
a man that the American farmer Is not a
frugal farmer; be does not make the
best Of his land he does not rotate his
crops nor cultivate them TO the best sd-
vantage
What is true Of the farmer Is true Of
nearly every other walk Of life. Oar
mechanics are as industrious as any
other mechanics; frequently they are
more industrious than any other mechan-
les in the world, but they are less fru

though equally industrious, is not equal,

1t is not always that distributions of
books and pictures can be unreServedly
commended.
1t is often found that a book is selected
for newspaper distribution since it hap
pens to be cheap, because imperfect, or
unstable, or of doubtful literary quail
ity.
And the picture may be weak, dim in
outline, OF have washed-out. appear
ance, owing to the fact that it is from a
! plate worn out and unfit for use.
A damaged or badly printed book and
All indifferent picture are worse than
nothing, since they are constant eye
sore and permanent offense against
good taste.
Such possessions are not worth having
even as gift.
1t is a wise precaution, therefore. to
carefully inspect these so-called cheap
offerings to ascertain if they are not too
cheap to be worth shelf room.
In contradistinction to such as these
THE GLOBE points with pride to its dis
tribution of the une qualed series en-
titled "Sights and Scenes of the World, I"
several numbers of which have already
been seen.
These views are 800 in number, and
are issued in pats of sixteen each, one
every week.
The photographs have been secured
at great expense, since to obtain them
it was necessary to visit remote points
In various quarters of the earth.
These photographs once in possession,
it became necessary to prepare a
graphic and interesting description to
| accompany each view.
The series, therefore, becomes valua-
bic, both in pictorial and historical
sense, and time devoted to its study
could hardly be more proftably or
pleasantly employed.
The GLOBE therefore highly COM
mends "Sights and Scenes of the
World' to all of its readers, for tn
series is equally adapted to old and
young.
1t also invites an inspection of the
views at its distributing department.
This invitation need not apply to old
readers of the paper, since they well
know that anything offered by The
GLOBE is we'll worth the time. trouble
! and expense necessary to obtain it,
Besides this, there is hardly a North
western home in which the views are
not welcomed each week.
But new readers who may want to see
what they are going to get are asked to
call and look over any one or all of the
numbers already on view either one of
which is worth much more than the cost
of the entire series.
For any one of the numbers three
coupons are required, with 10 cents in
stamps or coin.

may be cleaned from the advertisement

from the closing Friday night. The
feeling was that the advance this week
was partly from covering OF shorts, and
that when it would be over there would
be small reaction. In expectation
sales were made which caused the full
fillment of the anticipation. There were
no supporting orders from outside, and
the local disposition was more TO sell
than TO buy. The rise on this side had
run ahead of the foreign Improvement.
Reports from the country indicate a
very small farm movement of wheat.
