HEATY SNOW. BENEFICIAL.

In an interview published by a
st. Paul paper the other day
Oliver Dalrymple, the North Da
kota bonanza farmer expressed
himself as follows regarding the
beneficial effects to be expected
from the heavy SHOWS of this
winter.
II don't think that the heavy
SHOWS will do any harm to this
years wheat CROP" On the con-
trary, the usual experience has
been that heavy SHOWS are most
beneficial, supplying, as they do,
the moisture that is ordinarily
the factor likely to be most used.
There may, of course, be freshets
in the spring. Still the floods are
frequently more result of late,
wet SHOWS, followed by heavy
rains, than or a large accumulation
of winter SHOWS. These last may
pass away gradually, harmlessly,
through the evaporating effects of
the spring winds. That is very
often the case after a winter of
deep snow. Although the price of
next years crop will be better es-
tablished two months from now, I
am myself inclined to look for
higher markets. When the win
ter wheat begins to turn green,
about the middle of April, the
dealers can form some idea of the
coming winter wheat crop. That
idea always has a marked effect on
the quotations. Until then we
may be in doubt. May and July
futures are now selling 10 to IL
cents higher than year ago. I
believe that indicates still better
prices later on. As q matter of
course. Il European war of::any i'm
portance would Immediately cause
a big bulge on all our exchanges.
In such an event, I should look
confidently for dollar wheat within
a short time. But the present
Cretan difficulties will perhaps all
blow over.

THE MALE SOCIETY nun.

He Has Arrived. md Great ThtnGs
Are Expected of Him.
If the hlossoming Of the female
"bud" into flower of society Is
proper topic for newspaper discussion.
why should not the male bud be hon
ored With n detailed "write-up" III the
public prints. so that his charms may
be as widely advertised as those OF
the attractive creatures who depend
upon him for seats at tine opera ana
partners at the german? Evidently
there Is no reason for the discrlmlna'
ton from the point OF view OF Wash
ington paper, which presents. IN sew
eral columns, the best qualities of a
number of masculine "buds' which are
now full-blown.
The proud monopoly which the fairer
sex has heretofore enjoyed Is thus
rudely assaulted. and hereafter it would
not be surprising if the enterprising
social reporter has to give as much at
tention to these coy young things that
wear dress coats and belong to the
club rs lie has heretofore devoted to
the ladies. Whether this shall prove to
be an atiliction remains to be seen. but
the novelty of the innovation will no
doubt lend some interest at first to the
apotheosis Of the male bud" Blonde
ar blondine. brunette or strawberry
type, he will be pictured to us in all
his stunning beauty.
The part of his hair, the length of his
collar and the brevity of his top-coat.
the style Of his boots and the color of
his gloves. the diameter of his eye
glasses and the angle at which he
wears his silk hat-all these details
and many more not here set forth, will
be dwelt upon with the nice analysis
and painstaking industry of the socie-
ty reporter Eyelashes, teeth, trim Of
beard or mustache, nose Of Grecian or
Roman type, perhaps retrousse or ex-
pansive, will not be neglected, Of
course.
Great things are promised for the ex
altation of the male bud" and if he
has heretofore blossomed in obscurity,
the time of his apatheosis has come.

scrlusion, but sunflower, brilliant, If
