Some Figures on Freight Rates.

The freight rate on corn from Hutch
inson to Kansas City is 8 cents per
bushel; the rate from Kansas City to
Chicago is cents. The distance from
Hutchinson to Kansas City is 218 miles;
the distance from Kansas City to Chi
cagO is 456 miles. 1t costs .037 of a cent
per mile to ship bushel of corn to Kan
sas City; from Kansas City to Chicago
it costs but oil of cent per mile. If
the railroads can proftably haul corn
from Kansas City to Chicago for cents
a bushel, they could proftably haul it
from Hutchinson to Chicago for ~
cents a bushel. This would increase the
value of every bushel Of corn in Reno
county 51a cents and increase the value
of even this seasons short crop by more
than $100, 00,000.-Hutchinson Bee.

The Secret Of Success is to Buy Right.

The Secret OF success IL to Buy Right
The cost to the consumer of almost
every article needed for the comfort and
well-being of every individual is very
largely increased by having to pass
through so many hands before it finally
reaches the user. The nearer the maker
and user can be brought together the
more money saved to the user. This is
the idea Of the old established and re-
liable Beethoven Piano and Organ Co.,
of Washington, N. ]. They sell direct
from their immense factory to the one
using the goods, thereby effecting a saw
ing Of every penny pocketed by the deal
ers and agents. We recommend both
the company and their instruments to
our readers. A postal card or letter men
tioning this paper will bring their large
and magnificent catalogue of organs and
pianos.
