While we are compelled to
change prices of goods with the
market we claim to sell any artlc-
lie at as fair price as anybody,
quality considered.
In the past we have made it a
point to help tide our people over
the tough places by extending to
them sufficient time to get their
returns. To do this we borrowed
money and paid interest on all of
our credit. And we are glad we
did it and shall never regret it.
Times have changed with US now.
Our citizens are in good shape and
forging ahead. They are able OF
their own credit to borrow money
or handle stock. Even the coun-
ty government is paying cash for
county warrants. This of Itself
will help the people 25% in max
ing their ends meet. While we
do not refuse credit to all Gus tom.
ers we find by curtalling long
credits and doing more cash bust
ness, we can afford TO knock
down goods at good rate oil in
terest to cash or short time custom
ers. We ask the public for a part
OF their custom and will see that
they are treated with due consid-
Grafton and cordIality il the
grippe dosn't get away with us

RAISING MACARONI WHEATS.
Well Adapted to the Semf-Arid Plains
of the West.

About 100000 pounds of foreign maca-
roni are imported into this country each
year. solely because, being made from true
macaroni wheats, 1t is considered to be Of
better quality than our domestic macaroni,
which is made almost entirely from bread
wheats. Moreover, the imported macaroni
sells at a much higher price. With tho fact
in view that all the cost of the ltnported
product would be saved to this country if
the farmers and millers would furnish our
factories with the right kind of material,
the Department of Agriculture has been
making extensive investigations on The
subject.
Macaroni wheats differ radically from the
ordinary bread wheatS, and in the field look
more like barley than wheat. They are ex-
tremely resistant to drought and resist the
attacks of leaf rust and smuts to an un-
usual degree. On the other hand, they will
not withstand hard winters, and are usually
grown as spring wheats. South of the
thirtyf1fth parallel they may be soWn in
late autumn.
In the case Of macaroni wheats 1t is not
only true that they can be grown in dry
districts, but they must be grown there in
order to produce the best quality of grain,
and up to a minimum Of about ten inches
annual rainfall the drier the better, pro-
vided the rain falls at the proper time and
the soil is of the right kind.
The thorough establishment Of this new
wheat industry will De of the greatest bene-
fit to agriculture in the semi-arid plains. A
iHlillOI VI LiOTc OI acres can IQuS De given
to profitable wheat raising which on ac-
count of drought have heretofore either
been entirely idle less proftably en-
ployed. In a few years time the result
ought to be an addition of thirty to fifty
million bushels to the annual wheat pro-
duction Of the great plains alone. The
agricultural area will be extended much
farther westward and the necessity Of irri-
cation will thereby be diminished corre-
spondingly.
If the demand for seed is sufficient
to justify it, farmers and grain dealers
can unite in importing large amount of
seed at reduced cost Such importations
If attempted should be made either from
the Azov sea region of Russia or the region
east of the Volga river near the Siberian
border. Russian macaroni wheats are the
best In the world, as shown by numerous
comparative tests and analyses and the
fact that they are chiefly used In the for
eign factories. In a number of chemical
analyses made their gluten content is shown
to be nearly so per cent greater than that
of varieties from Algeria and Argentina
This Is probably to be accounted for by the
unusual humus content of the soil in the
Russian region.
"A careful study of the conditions in east
and south Russia shows that in both soil
and climate they are remarkably similar
to those of our great plains region.

A Model Town for St. Louis.



The National Arts Club of this city has
prepared for presentation to the commits
sioners of the ST. Louis exposition plan
for laying out it's streets and buildings as
model CITY,"
The suggestion has value and Importance.
Ii fifty or one hundred years ago our cities

fewer costly works of afterthought like the
Holborn viaduct in London, the Avenue de
POpera in Paris and the widening of Elm
street in New York would have been nec-
essary. and there would be less of the gra-
tuitous hideousness that disfigures two of
these cities at almost every point.
The model city is not more costly than
the haphazard city; in the end 1t would be
cheaper, as forethought is always cheaper
than afterthought. 1t is suggested that
such city might care for the grouping
and arrangement of parks, streets. schools.

to future growth: for the planting Of trees,
the artistic design and regulation of signs,

Cleveland's Court of Honor.

The idea Of grouping the public buildings
received enthusiastic approval at the joint
meeting of the several interests concerned
on Wednesday and the plans of the city
hall commission will now be vigorously
pushed. That body was limited by the con-
ditions under which 1t came into existence
to making arrangements for a city hall
site, leaving the other bodies concerned in
the grouping plan to secure the necessary
property for carrying out their part of the
projected system. In carrying out the
grouping plan so far as determined on,
sight should not be lost of the larger idea
of a grand court of honor at the head of
which will stand the new federal builuing
and at the foot the municipal building.
with spacious boulevard connecting them
upon which the other public buildings,
libraries, museums and art galleries can
front. 1t will be wise to make early pro-
vision for realizing this vision of beauty
and dignity by securing as much territory
as will be needed between Rockwell street
and the lake front before the value of the
property is enhanced by the improvements
already practically determined on.

AN ANGRY COUPLES QUEST,
Husband and Wife Wanted a Divort
and Wanted 1t QufGk

and Wanted 1t Quick.
An incident somewhat out Of the ordinary
was noted today within the somber walls
of the city hall. A well-dressed couple
man and woman-passed along the main
corridor of the building, both glancing at
all the signs, as though in quest Of some
particular office. 1t is by no means un-
usual for well-dressed couples to enter
the city hail. but for the most part they
are In quest of licenses to wed The coun-
tenances Of the couple today, however, were
too serious for the matrimonial allegation
to hold.
Where do you get divorces?" finally
asked the man, in a tone almost savage
of one of the court criers.
Although completely staggered the Off
cial managed to gasp, "What?"
I'VE want to get divorce, and we want
it quick" the angry stranger explained.
The crier inquired If a petition had been
filed and II the applicant had obtained the
services of an attorney. The answer being
in the negative, the crier called LAWYER
who was standing nearby, and the latter
made clear that certain preliminaries are
essential before the matrimonial bonds are,
as a rule, severed. The indignant man
and the equally angry woman recited their
grievances. She was determined to go en-
the stage and he objected. That was the
tale of woe in nutshell.
The lawyer suggested that as there had
been no cruel treatment the simplest ground
on which to secure a divorce would be de-
sertion. That course, however, would re-
quire at least two years to obtain decree.
'Humph," said the woman sneeringly, as
she turned to her husband. Your ignorance
of law is appalling. You told me all that
was necessary was to come here to the
court house and sign book"
I'D admit ignorance or anything else to
get rid of you, growled the man.
"Well, then, I'll desert you," replied the
woman. ''These gentlemen are witnesses
to what say. I hereby desert YOU"
The disappointed couple thereupon de-
parted from the building in company, and
as they disappeared from view were engage
ed in earnest conversation.
