With farmers paying higher prices
for machinery, the trust makers of
these goods are systematically reducing
the labor cost in producing them, the
latest being the j. I. Case manufac-
turing company, which has put into
effect q new scale, reducing wages
from thirty to fifty per cent. The
men in the plow making department
have quit work, rather than stand
the reduction. The extra prices
which the farmer pays for his machinery
together with the reduction in wages
received by labor all go into the capac.
ious pockets of the trusts.-State Ad-

The work of searching the records and
making complete abstract of the se.
curities held by money loaners during
the past five years in Floyd county, says
Charles City dispatch, is practically
completed by the tax ferrets who have
been at work in this city for the past
few months and the day for settlement
is here. The amount of back taxes
being paid will bring in q sum that will
far exceed the first expectations of the
county officials. When all are paid
they will undoubtedly amount to $50
900, showing that for the past Eve years
$4,000 has annually been withheld
from the county treasurer by tax dodg-
ers.

SUBSCRIPTION RATE,
The Situation.

A good deal of discussion is going
on oyer the opening Of the Kiowf
and Comanche country, and many
rejoicings, and many more regrets
over the situation. The court OF
claims has handed down a decision
favorable to the Choctaws and
Thickasaws in their contention
over the Wichita lands, known as
"county l." This claim 1t is un.
derstood Will sustain the claim of
the Chickasaws and Choctaws to
Kiowa reservation, which is the
same as held TO the Wichita lands.
Now it is understood that the
supreme court hes to decide on the
validity Of the court of claims, and
it is reported that the bench is
divided in this decision, Dlt it is |
said five of the judges are in favor
of sustaining the court Of claims.
However this may be, the ruling of
the bench would be the law, and
the claims Of the Chickasaws and
Choctaws would virtually be valid
as against the Kiowa reservation.
And, again, the law ratifying the
treaty and opening the reservation
contains this clause: :;
That as the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nation claim to have some
right. title, and interest in and
to the lands ceded by the fore

anyone does, for she spends most Of

is rs good as the local columns OF o

folks are saying and doing, and she
says that the idea Of the Thanksgiving
dinner In the schoolhouse has caught
like wildfire. Nancy says she wouldn't
miss It for q party"
The larger boys and girls OF the
school met me at the schoolhouse the
evening before Thanksgiving, and we
decorated the room beautifully with
evergreens and several flags we had
been able to borrow. Provision had
been made for two long tables to run
almost the entire length OF the room
with some smaller tables in the cor
ners.
~ suppose that we will have to be

tables" / said to Mrs. Dorton.

the old lady. II know the people bet

to make awkward blunders. I'll set
'em down all right"
Nancy Ross was right when she said
that the whole district would be pres

at one o'clock, and by noon the house
was filed by merry, happy crowd, in

taught in the west good many years
ago. Christmas was the chief holiday
of the winter, and IL was celebrated
without any special demonstration, for
most OF the people were poor and there
was not much sentiment In their gen.
eral makeup. Old Hannah Dorton,
with whom boarded, was Of New Eng
land birth, and she had not come to the
west until some years after her mar
rage. She was n woman Of q good
deal OF force of character, and no one
in the neighborhood had nimbler
tongue. One evening about two weeks
before Thanksgiving said to her:
"Do the people observe Thanksgiving
very generally in this neighborhood"
"No, they do not" replied the old lady
with considerable emphasis. "And it
has always been q good deal Of Q trial
