And while 1 am on this subject want
to say that believe the reports of the
almost total failure of the wheat cron
are greatly exaggerated. The excessive
dry weather was bad, but all through
the nights have been cool, and I believe
that when the story of the threshing ma
chine has been told it will be found
that the Crop will average fairly good
at least. There may not be so much
straw as usual but there will be a reason
able good yield and more No. / wheat
than in former seasons. The greatest
loss to farmers of this locality is in the
hay crop which will be very light.

a With all due respects for the courts
and legal profession it would almost ap-
pear that term of court in Brown
county is more of luxury than ne
cessity. With calendar of 21 causes
but two or three were tried and they
combined involved sum considerably
less than 5000, as am informed by
those who are supposed to know. Now,
understand, I am not finding fault with
the administration of justice in Brown
county, but simply call attention to the
situation to illustrate the non-litig1ous
character of our people. It's better to
settle law suit out of court if possible
and the man who can do so saves money
even though he loses.
And yet when we consider that sin
gle term of court must cost the county
at least 81 900 it does seem as if some
way should be devised to keep this pet
ty litigation out of the district court.
Either the justice and municipal courts
are too limited in their scope or the
grounds of appeal are not closely enough
drawn. Perhaps man who does not:
lay claim to any knowledge of the noble
profession of the law has no right to ex- X.
press an opinion upon the subject, but T:
am just going to venture the remark
that there seems to be here chance for

been writing copy for the Reyiew for
several months now and am willing to
take oath that of all the churches in the
city the pastors of but two only have
ever stepped foot over my threshold,
one of them perhaps three or four times
and the other, I think, once. In fact it
is almost impossible to get even the Or
binary church notices for publication
and as for general news, we'll, the pas
tors as a rule seem to have forgotten
that scriptural injunction about letting
their light. shine.
Aside from the question of news, it
strikes me as funny that the only insti-
tuition on earth which gets its advertis-
ing for nothing should be so tremendu-
Gus slow about getting its stuff into the
hands of the printer. And then, too,
since the press is SO desperately in need
of saving grace, wouldn't it be good
thing for the pastors to try and get next
to the editors, make good fellows of
themselves as it were, and see what ef-
feet little Cody influence would have?
