Edwin Strand has begun his own

He is big with destiny. The fecundity
of nature filed his bushel measure a

he shipped last week from Ruleton, alI

comes back he will subscribe for TIE

J. B. Moore feels sore. His wheat

This is an age in which cheap sub
stitutes abound. Every one who goes
a-shopping is constantly pressed TO
take something cheaper that is "just as
good" Aud the strangeness Of it is
that the cheap article has all the ex-
ternaI appearances of the cOstlier one.
How soon the cheap suit Of clothes
gets out Of shape, iOOses its color and
becomes threadbare. How soon the
cheap carriage begins to rattle and
becomes loose at every bolt. Lucky is
the owner if it does not spill him out
on the ground. How soon the cheap
nail will loosen or break in the shoe.
You go to your hOFseshoer and he re-
turns thesame old answer "The shear
ed nail is just as good as the ham
mered one" From the nature of things
this cannot be. The suit of Clsthes,
made of the best material an by good
workmanship, will outlsst three or
four cheap suits, and look better at
the end. The carriage, where every
part is selected and the ironwork first
class, will last almost a lifetime. The
horse shod with a good nail will never
be famed with a split nail, or throw
his shoes in time of greatest need.
