The dull season Of the year is the
time to do the greatest amount Of
advertising, so say the most successful
of advertisers and If IL is so with them
1t Is equally 80 with all. Competition
demands 1t as much In the country ms II
does In the city, for the reason that the
financial struggle is usually greater.
The rates Of advertisement In the
country enable the merchant to advcr-
tise extensively the year around, gives
him advantages over his city com
petitor. just think of IL, the little
journal "Printers Ink" only one OF
many journals used by the city dealer,
gets 5000 to 81 900 per year for page
ad. Axe inches, amounting to more for
one issue than the same space would
cost In country paper for two years
II 1t pays to advertise at all IL pays to
advertise all the time.

A loss OF 5000. AS an example of
the way values are placed upon rail-
road property, 1t may be stated that
the hotel, laundry, and refrigerator
are pat at $4,000.
Inasmuch as the values OF real and
personal property in this county have
been increased while that of railroads
has been reduced, the commissioners
will probably equalize by cutting
down the returns as made by the as
SCISSORS We had hoped that all prop
erty would be returned for taxation
at it's full value, but as the railroads
have been allowed to follow the old
plan, now favor putting the property
of our residents down to where it was
before, The rate of course will be
higher, but all will then pay on equal
values.

GOVERNOR MORRILL, has appointed
Frank M. Lockard Of Norton county
as trustee of the state board of char
liable institutions IN place Of Walter
N. Allen. resigned. This appoint
ment caused much surprise, says the
Star, as the governors intimate
friends had said that Lockard would
not be selected, II is said to have
been brought about by Treasurer Of
State Anterior, A. Fl. Ellis and Webb
McNall, and presumably was made to
bridge over some differences caused
by the defeat Of McNall and Jim
Reeder for national convention dele
gates at Hill City last week. The I'M
derstanding is that Norton and Smith
county, in consideration of Lockard's
appointment, will support Morrill,,
Anterior and the rest of the state Of
ficers for denomination. Anterior
has been urging the governor to ap-
point Locksrd ever since Allen re-
signed. He and William Simpson of
Norton had some trouble two years
ago, Simpson charging that his loss
of the congressional nomination was
caused by Atherton. He then declar-
ed war on Anterior, and to break the
force of Simpsons enmitY Anterior
wanted Lockard, who has a strong
political pull in his county, and those
adjacent to it, appointed.

The United States supreme court
has reversed the decision of the Kan.
sas supreme court upon mortgages.
MIR. Justice Shiras wrote the opinion,
"The decisions of this court" he
said, ARE numerous in which it has
been held that the laws which per-
scribe the mode of enforcing a con-
&ract which are in existence when it
Gs made are so far a part of contract
that no changes in these laws which
seriously interfere with that enforce
ment are valid, because they impair
its obligation within the meaning Of
the constitution of the United States
"We hold that statute which su-
thorlzes the redemption Of property
sold upon foreclosure of mortgage
where no right of redemption pre-
viously existed, or which extends the
period of redemption beyond the time
formerly allowed, can not constitu-
&ionalle apply to a sale under a mort.
gage executed before its passage.
"The act carves out for mortgagor
owner of mortgaged property one
state of several months more than
was obtainsble under former law,
with full right of possession, and
without paying rent or accounting for
profits in the meantime
1--WE, of course, have nothing to do
with fairness or policy of such enact
ment, but 1t seems impossible to re-
sist the conviction that such a change
in the law is not merely substitution
al of one remedy for another, but q
substantial impairment of the rights
of the MORTGAGE as expressed in the
contract. The judgment of the SUI
preme court of Kansas is reversed
and the cause remanded to that court
with directions to proceed therein in
accordance with this opinion"
