Kansas farmers are not alone In
suffering from low prices. Those OF
western New York saw their apples
sell in New York city for 65 cents o
barrel last week. The barrel had
cost 22 cents, freight 10 cents and the
apples 81.
"A new general bill to reduce
county officers salaries is before the
Legislature and will probably pass the
house at least. 1t reduces salaries 10

until the facts are known.
Funny how things change. The
prominent Democrat OF town who
wrote Representative Bennett the
,ther day to introduce a bill cutting
Dickinson county's salaries in half

lgo. He then wanted to run for
