ADVICE TO FARMERS.
How to Market Their Crops to the
Best Advantage.

The recent action of the Illinois
Legislature in doing away with a
"court on wheels and fixing perma-
nent home for the Supreme Court at
Springfield was tardy reform. But
it is an act commended by every
sensible voter in the state. 1t is worthy
of notice here simply as an example of
the way changed conditions demand
change in modern methods of doing
business. An old timer says this: "In
the early days there was reason enough
why the courts should move about the
state. Travel in those days was mat
ter of time and difficulty. Adequate
transportation of any sort there was
not. Good roads were curiosities, and
it was not only convenient but neces-
sary that the courts should meet the
attorneys and litigants half way.
Furthermore, the Justices then had to
hold Circuit Courts in the several
counties. There was less work, too,
and the records were neither so many
nor so cumbersome. And the Justices
were not so hurried at their sessions
and had not SO many documents to
study, or so many opinions to write
1t was in these same early days when
railroads were few and imperfect, when
the Chicago market was crude affair,
when state inspection of grain was not
dreamed of, when elevator systems
were unknown, when farmers were
shut off from the cities by days of
travel, when they could not have mar
ket reports in every daily paper and
the papers right off the press by fast
mail transit was then that men
volunteered to make country markets
for farmers. The farmers could afford
it for their soil was new, their expenses
few, prices higher and no competition.
Now conditions are changed. Farm
ers raise crops differently; they are
ready for market quicker because of
self binders and steam threshers.
Farmers have more time to attend to
marketing; they read more, they have
great worlds market at their door
because of perfect railway systems, per-
feet inspection system, they know or
may know all about how grain is put
on the Chicago market. More than
this they-the farmers following the
lead of the Farmer Commission House
are putting their grain on this great
market. They have learned in thous-
ands of cases from experience what the
shippers profits are; they are after those
profits. The shipping. reform adds 10
to 10 per cent to the income from the
average farm; this makes profits in
stead of losses even with low prices.
Remember old customs are hard to
break away from. Remember the new
way is money maker for the farmer.
Each former his own shipper and pro-
fits of the middleman for the men who
raise the crops will work the greatest
reform since pioneer days. Mr.. Ole
Sanderson, of Ridgeway, Iowa, writes:
81 think you will receive lots of grain
from Ridgeway, as some have made
from $40 to $50 on car load shipped to
YOU" Dennis Collins, of New Hamp-
ton, Iowa, writes: 81 am well pleased
with the sale of my car of oats, as /
made about 2 cents per bushel more
than 1 could get here" We have
hundreds of similar letters from other
farmers who have tried shipping and
been pleased. II. HI. CARR q Co.

A Day of Opportunities.

How often does one hear the
assertion that unless a young
man have friends Of influence to
"work him ill.," or money to buy
his way, there is no hope for
him to rise in any walk Of life.
1t is not true it is more than
false, it is harnfully false. Skill 3,
know-how and energy were
never worth 80 much as to-day !;
brains never before commanded
half their present price, and
ideas never sold for a third as
much. Influence can start a
man, but it can't run the race
for him. Money may gain him
position, but if he be unworthy,
his position will be only bought
and therefore worthless, Oppor-
tunity to>day meets and smiling
~ greets one hundred young
men where il formerly met one.
But oppor unity never makes
men, it only gives them chance
to make themselves. Too many
of our young men expect it to
force them, when it never does
more than invite. It never
searches for men, but may easl-
ly be found by them. Success
depends upon the man and ali

Yes, all Know.

Everybody knows how to run
a newspaper but the editor.
Advice comes thick and fast,
and much of it furious, and the
editor gets even by just giving
business men and the farmers
pointers, whose worth is vast
ed on the desert air"
The resplendent verdancy OF
many solons is as refreshing as
an evening shower at the end OF
a torrid day. 1t is welcome
oasis in the dreary routine OF
the thousand and one, or more,
recurring mouotonies of the
editors struggle and existence.
1t comes as an unbidden guest,
whose diversions force a glad
welcome, and departs, like the
memory of bad dreams, which
is relished because OF its mystery
unsolved and its feeting illus
sions. Simple, yet curious; absurd
yet interesting ; boring yet
entertaining; intrudins yet
welcome those who cross the
life path of the editor, have their
day and are numberer of the
past. Life's 6tful fever makes
changes ever new, to day know
ing not of the morrow nor the
morrow of yesterday. for his life
is of the present and he turns
not aside, neither for the follies
of many nor the wisdom OF the
few.-KIns's Weekly.

ROBBERS APPLIED TORTURE.
Vain Efforts to Extort Money
From Aged Gentleman.

One of the most horrible at
tempts at robbery ever perpetrat-
ed was that of three men last
Friday night, when they at
tempted to obtain money from
Eli Ballinger,ss who lives in the
suburbs Of Hinton, w. Va.
Between 5 and 6 o'clock they
came to his door and knocked
and asked him for a drink of
water. He started toward the
kitchen, which is some distance
from the main house, to get the
water, and just as he entered the
door the three men u1nped upon
him and knocked him down:
Then they bound his hands and
feet and gagged him by stufing
a handkerchief IN his mouth.
After they had securely bound
the old gentleman, they proceeds
ed to search the house for
money, but only succeeded in
finding sixty cents. Becoming
enraged, and believing that a
large amount was hidden sorne>
where on the premises, they told
the old man they would burn
him alive unless he revealed the
hiding place Of his treasure. He
told them that sixty cents was
positively all the money i'll the
house, but they did not believe
him. They removed his shoes
and applied fire to his feet in
their efforts to force him to tell.
After calmly watching him
writhe in agony for few Minis
utes, still protesting that he had
no more money, they placed the
gag back in his mouth, and
locking the door, left him. He
succeeded after several hours in
loosening his bands, and he then
gave the alarm.
Mr.. Ballinger is over so years
of age, and has lived alone for
the past twenty years. He is in
a critical condition, aud it is
feared that he cannot give any
description of the robbers, except
that they were white men anc
all young. The County Cour'
offered reward of $50 for the
capture and conviction of the
robbers

Children cry for the moon and

There are several things worse

A person is always startled

Controversy equallzes fools
and wise men in the same way,
and the fools know it.
Little minds rejoice over the
errors of men of genius as the
owl rejoices at an eclipse.
Even a man doesn't like to
have the preacher call when the
