THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.

The old newspaper saying, "now is
the time to subscribe" was meyer more
true than at present. The times are 80
full of incident, so many important ma
tional and state affairs are shaping
themselves for change, that no one
can afford to be without a metropolitan
daily or weekly. The st. Louis Repub.
lie, the greatest democratic newspaper,
is making a special offer of its daily
and Sunday paper for three months at
$1.50. 1t is Sc year by mail. The
Twice-a-week Republic is sent two
times week-104 papers for only ST a
year. In addition to all the political
news, it prints every day spread of
general news and features not equalled
by any other paper.

We were favored with a call by Hon.
Geo. w. Finch, of Harper, on Friday
afternoon. He was billed for speech
at Sun City on Saturday, but came as
far as this city on Friday. Mr.. Finch
has always been a republican until
the st. Louis convention came out
against silver, but, being honest in his
convictions, and having the manhood
To stand by his principles he was forced
to part company with the republican
party when it took sides with the class
es as against the masses. There are
many other republicans who have fol-
lowed Mr.. F's example and the result
will be seen more plainly in November
In Harper county the silver forces are
in fine shape and will sweep the county,
says Mr.. Finch, by at least 800 MAORI
ty. We are sorry to say that Barber
county cannot come up to that high
mark but we can promise at least 100
majority against McKinleyism.

sunflower Has Many Uses.

1t is predicted that before MANY
years the sunflower will come into
general cultivation in this country.
as plant it has no superior for vigor,
rapid growth and prolific yield Of seed,
leaves and stalk, all of which can be
utilized. The seeds are especially good
as feed for fowls, and when mixed with
grains they are relished by all farm
animals. Fifty bushels of seed to the
acre is fair yield, and this will pro-
duce SO gallons Of oil worth 81 gallon.
In China valuable fiber, used in silk
weaving, is obtained from the stalk,
and they are Of service Us fuel and n
source OF potash. The orientals mix
their tobacco with cured sunfower
leaves, and make yellow dye from
the flowers, which are also rich in honey
and wax. The sunflower grows riot
ously in the United States, and stands
ell extremes of weather well.
