EDITORIAL COMMENT.
How we are apt to draw wrong
conclusions from false premises A
gentleman said to us the other day,
that he believed the division head
quarters building would not be put
up very soon. if at all. Where this
building was to be they had removed
the sun dials, but they have replaced
them ag Jain, he said. On inquiry we
found that the wind, dust and boys
had displaced the figures of the dial,
and these were put in proper place.
OF course this gave rise to the opinion
that the building was abandoned for
the present, or until the experiment
of the division headquarters was full
1y tried. But railroad official. near
to the top of the round, was here a
few days ago, and on this investiga-
ting tour, observing the replacement
of the dial stones, said e'that was not
necessary, for there is where the divi-
sion building is to be- We learned
further that the building would be
erected this year.
A subscriber, a nonresident who
is interested as owner of Ford coun-
ty real estate, has lost interest in the
GLOBE REPBBLIcAN, because it is not
to the publisher s interest, as he says,
to furnish the readers of the paper
with prices in real estate sale. Some
prices are given, but few sales are re-
ported, the sellers not caring to make
prices public. Wo could give more
reports of sales than those which are
published, but the prices are held in

Dealers in real estate do not care to
make all their transactions public,
because the buyer may want to sell
again and the sellersmay want to buy

ton was known. considerable secre-
cy gathers around real estate transac-
tons. Only a few important sales are
noted. When = person has piece of
property to sell let him put it on the
market and he will soon find buyers
and prices. Let him advertise it,
Our correspondent, J. H Reed,
makes some pertinent remarks on
wheat planting. Mr.. Reed is an old
and experienced farmer, and ne is
able to solve the questions he pro
pounds, but it is the part of wisdom
to defer to the judgment of those of
like experience. We presume that
MIR. Reed means that all the wheat
raisers in the kingdom of Servia-
big and little kings and princes
shall follow in close observation on
the suggestions he makes about the
condition of the wheat plant at this
time. Seed, soil, condition, weather,
&c, are to be taken into account
Methods of farming are so much i'm
proved in Western Kansas, with bet
ter results, that 1t is worth while to
consider plans for the control of the
elements to the best possible use and
advantage. Now let the King of Ser

tell the people what they know about
wheat raising under all conditions
Deep blowing with rotary disks,
instead of mo1dboard plows, makes
increased storage room for rainfall.
This is the problem in nutshell.
The Union revival will begin here
on Sunday night, April 6, in McCarty
rink. Frcuch Oliver is doing very
good work as evangelist. The meet
ings are always interesting and be-
come well attended. Religious reyi-
walls promote more good than public
opinion accord them In considering
the results of a revival the worst side
is made to overbalance the good ef-
