prices Of other farm products must also
advance The present war will create
a large demand for food products for
government use, and the greatly in
creased activity in all branches Of man
ufacturing will increase the use OF wheat
-four as an important element OF food
for the labOring men Of this country.
This increased consumption will tend
to enhance the price to the American
farmers, who seem now to be entering
upOI. an era Of prosperity such as they
have not seen for more than a quarter
Of century. Experience teaches that
these periods Of depression and pros
perity ebb and flow like great irregular
tides, and prudence and wisdom both
dictate that the farmers should take ev-
cry advantage possible OF this period
Of prosperity to fOrtify themselves
against the disasters of the period Of
depression which will be certain, sooner
or later, to follow. All Indebtedness
should be paid as fast as possible, for
out Of debt Is out Of danger, and it is so
much easier to pay indebtedness with
wheat round about, 81, and other prod
ucts in proportion, than when wheat will
only bring 40 or so cents bushel. Specu-
lation should be studiOusly avoided and
left for others who have neither money
nor reputation to lose. While prices
are high and money is flush the farms
should be put in the highest possible
state Of betterment and productiveness,
and even bank account left over as a
safeguard against less prosperous times
would be far less an evil than mort
gage upon the farmers home.

THE DEWEY ISLANDS.

What were formerly the Philippine
islands should now be known as the
Dewey islands. Admiral Dewey should
have his name immOrtalized by giving
it to the group of islands which he so
gallantly captured by the most signal
naval victory the world has ever known.
They were named Philippines after the
notorious and barbaric King Phillip of
Spain, who married Bloody Mary" and
fathered and fostered the iniQuitous and
inhuman Spanish inquisitiOn, which
murdered people by the thousands and
hundreds Of thousands because of their
religious opinions. The islands now be,
long to the United States and this coun-
try should retain and civilize and de-
velol them and they should be named
and known hencefOrth as the Dewey
islands.

CRITIC1s1NG SUPREME COURTS.

There seems to be sort OF foolish
impression In the minds Of many people
that 1t is wrong to criticise the decisions
of courts, and especially Of Supreme
courts. Why this should be so is diff
cult to perceive unless 1t may be based
upon the fear that the critic might some
time have a case before the court and
his interests suffer because Of his criti
Clsms If there is any real danger Of
this kind, then surely the court would be
justly open to criticism. The courts have
the last say and their ultimate decisions
are final and behind them is the whole
power of the government to enforce Obe-
denCE to their mandates, and this being
so their decisions ought always to be
open to full discussion and where clearly
wrong should be subject to impartial
and honest criticism Judges are but
men and when exalted to the bench and
clothed with the judicial ermine they
are no more immaculate or inspired than
when they occupied the humber walks
Of life as private citizens.
The greatest man this country has
ever known made his reputation as a
political leader and laid the foundation
for his subsequent greatness by his Sc
we're yet honest and conscientious criti-
Cisms Of that august tribunal, the Su-
preme court of the United States.
Abraham Lincoln In his published
speeches from 1858 to 1860 made such
scathing and unanswerable criticisms
upon the Dred Scott decision that its
purpose was not only destroyed but pub
lie sentiment in the North was so thor
oughly aroused that 1t installed Mr.. Lin
coin as President in 1861. In those
speeches he even defied the decision of
the Supreme court and said that If he
were in Congress he would vote what
he believed to be right in spite of the
Dred Scott decision. And he cited Gen
era. Jackson when he was President of
the United States as refusing to be bound
by decision Of the Supreme court and
as denying the right Of that court to lay
down rule to govern coordinate
branch Of the government, the members
Of which had sworn to support the con-
stitution and that each member had
sworn to support the constitution as
he understood 1t. Mr.. Lincoln in his
criticisms boldly declared that the Dred
Scott decision was but paving the way
for another Supreme court decision that
would not permit any free State to ex-
clude slavery from It's limits and that
they would soon awake to the startling
reality that the Supreme court had
made Illinois a slave State. When the
turbulent condition Of the country as
1t then existed is considered no severer
criticism could be made upon the de-
cision of any court than Mr. Lincoln
boldly uttered against the Supreme court
of tho United States He did Il earnestly
and honestly, believing what he said

HIGH PRICES OF WHEAT.

Two dollars bushel seems like a
very high price for wheat to the people
Of the present generation, and yet 1t
may reach that figure in this country
within the present year. Farmers in
the West who have been selling wheat
as low as 35 cents bushel within the
last five years will find great satisfac-
tlon and encouragement In the present
prospective prices for their crops. In
1t fluctuations the price Of wheat has
already reached $1.85 in the Chicago
market this spring, and the next bulge
may possibly place 1t nearer to the 81
mark. The highest price ever known
for wheat was in August, 1912, when 1t
sold in England at the remarkable figure
OF $3.50 a bushel. In August, 1910, wheat
sold for $3.50 bushel IN the English
markets, in June, 1911, 1t fell to $3.50,
and in August, 1872 1t advanced to
$500, but 1t fell to $3.50 in 1913. During
the first three quarters of this century
English markets dictated the price on
wheat for the world, but now the price
is controlled in this country and Chicago
prices seem to set the pace for the mar
kets Of the world, for cable dispatches
from England say that upon adVices
from Chicago the price Of wheat is raised
or lowered. Early in the year 1866
cash wheat sold In Chicago for " cents
a bushel, but 1t advanced rapidly and
In November of that year sold at $2l0S,
and the following May at S2.S5, which
was. the highest price ever fixed by the
markets in this country. In August,
1872, wheat sold in Chicago at $1.61,
but IL fell to $1,O1 by the following No
vomber. In April, 1883, the price was
II cents, but 1t rose to 81 q bushel by
the last of the following September.
In October, 1892, wheat sold In Chicago
at SO cents, in July, 1898, at 54 cents, In
September, 1894, so cents and in jan
uary, 1894, 4S% cents, the lowest price
ever known in that market since 1860,
and 1t did not reach the dollar mark In
Chicago from April, 1891, until August
1897, over six years of exceedingly low
prices for the American farmer.
This long period of low prices greatly
discouraged the growing Of wheat, and
the production in Great Britain and Ire
land was only half as much in 1896 as
in 1891, and in United States the crop OF
1893 was only about one-half as large
as that Of 1891, and 1896 only about two
thirds as great as in 1891. AT the pres
ent time there seems to be general
scarcity of wheat the world over, and
henco 1t may not be surprising IL the
price should reach or even exceed 81 a
bushel in the markets Of this country.
And following the lead Of wheat the

 That's dangerous place for bathing, ana US me duty to warn the lady," but still, being very polite, as become his high station, he did not like to inter rupt lady's dressin'; but he decided 1t was better to veX her itself than to let her be drowned. He just thought he'd see who it was; so he walked quietly, and when he got near enough to see, what was it but a young girl with beauty there never was the like, and that's a great word to say in Ireland, where the pretty girls are so plentiful. She was conbing her hair with the backbone of fish, and lookin' at her self in a pool of water, and a garment Of seaweed on her that looked for all the world like brown satin.
 When she turned her head, combing out the long hair, Thady seein the beautiful fair and lily-white neck, 'Mebbe," says he to himself, "the other half of her is codfish." So he peeped down into the pool, and then he saw two purty white little feet, with pink toes, that couldn't be matched by any ladies' in his fathers court; so he stole behind the crayture and caught the arm that had the comb. She turned round in a great fright and struggled hard. Thady told her to be quiet and come home with him, easy, that he was kings son, and would make an honest woman of her, and that there was many in his fathers dominions would be only too glad of the offer; but she, poor crayture didn't know a word he was sayin' and began to cry and look at the sea; every now and again she d make dart to get off, but Thady held her firm, when suddenly lovely neck lace of amber fell off her neck; Thady knew by the look of her eye she could not go home without it, as it was by the power of it she could reside at the bot tom of the ocean. So he grlpped it tight and put it in his pocket, and she walked quiet by his side to his fathers palace The ould people raised great difficulty about the marriage; as an ould ancient family it was fitting they should know who they were bringing with their family; but Thady, never needing word they said, married the sea-lady, and a purity respectable wife she made, too, and beyond eating an odd sea rod or bunch of dillisk she was much like the other ladies.
 She bore Thady four sons, and there was nothing fishy about them, but as fine children as was in the province of Connaught. One evening, when the el- dest son was just eleven years old he told his mother he saw his father hide a shining purity thing in the hayrick when he was building it. Next morn ing when the family arose the hayrick was scattered to the four winds of heaven, the necklace gone, and the sea lady disappeared and never was heard of again.

 The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. digest the food in- stead of making the worn-out stomach do all the work, give it much needed rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the natural result.
 You get nourishment and rest at the same time, because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach works or not. A cure is cer- tain to result because the digestive or gans are given chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tablets are then no longer re- quired

 Mr. J. o. Wondly of Peoria, Ills, writes, I was unable to eat anything but the plainest food and even that often distressed me, but since using one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat anything and everything want.
 Mrs. Samuel Kepple of Girty, Pa, writes: have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. l suffered three years with sour stom- ach and gas at night, I am thankful for them.
 Mrs. A. r. Bowen, Barnard, Vt,, writes: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the best thing for dyspep- sia I ever took. I will recommend them to anyone troubled as bad as I was.

THADY O'DowD's BRIDE.
A Legend of the Kings of Connaugl

A Legend of the Kings of Connaught.
 Far back in the misty past, when eve- ry man in Ireland was saint of king and, begorra, there was some was both-the great ODowdas reigned in Connaught; they were mighty fine kings and warriors; no batin' them at all for fghtin' big battles, crackin' a skull after fair, emtyin' a quart, or kissin' party. God forgive them. One fine summers evening Thady, the second son-not the heir to the crown was on the seashore, waiting for the tide; he had just set his fishing lines and put down his lobster pots, for, though he was the son of a king and had hundreds of servants, he was no way proud at all, and would put his hand to anything, from liftin' creel of turf on an ould woman's back to driv- ing the cow out of the neighbours field of oats. Well, as said, he was just waitin', lyin' on .he rocks wid his eau heen pulled down on his nose the sun was in his eyes); he was listening to a kind of little song that he didn't rightly understand; it was little drone, miXin up a kind of bird, and the wind blowin' and water playin' on peb- bles-a queer sort of a little song that made him wonder greatly so he rested on his elbow, looking round to see what was it at all
 He saw just forninst him, where the tide was out, something sitting on a rock covered with seaweed. He saw very white arm moving up and down, combing long hair He was puzzled
