Do You Want 500. 90 +?

The Herald wants 500 new sub
scriberS in the next ninety days. The
Herald is the largest and best paper
printed in the county, and 500 new
subscribers would simply be 800 more
living witnesses to the fact. A live
witness is a good advertisement. We
believe in advertising. We have
therefore decided to give away $4,000
to our patrons in four prizes, the
conditions of which are stated else
where in this paper.
You get your dollars worth and
more when you subscribe for the
paper, besides we give you chance
to win $4,000. 1t is not lottery for
it costs you not cent to make your
estimate. The conditions simply
limit the distribution of prizes to our
patrons exclusively.
OF course $4,000 in cash is not a
very large prize, but isn't it better to
take one chance in 400 or 500 for 800
than it would be to take one chance
in 5OO,O 900 or 600, 600 for a larger prize?
See the point? Send in your subscrip-
tion and tell your neighbor about it,
at once.

APPENDICITIS.
SOME FACTS REGARDING ITS RAPID
INCREASE.

SOME FACTS REGARDING ITS RAPID
INCREASE.
Appendicitis among Americans is
certainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con-
stipation. Appendicitis is caused by
extraneous matter entering the verm-
form appendix and not by the Swal-
lowing of seeds. I the digestive or
gans are kept in perfect condition SO
the food is duly asSimulated and the
bowels move gently, at least once a
day, appendicitis will never develop.
Don't take chances. Regular does of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before
meals will strengthen the organs of
digestion, your appetite will be good,
constipation disappears and you feel
better in every way. DR.. CaldwelI's
Syrup PepSin does not relax the bow
els by irritation, but by curing indi-
gestion, the cause of constipation.
All druggists sell it in SOC and S1.OO

GRINDING CANADIAN WHEAT

After all the obstacles that have barred
the way of the Washburn- Crosby company
in its enterprising effort to make an ex-
pertinent in grinding Canadian wheat in
Minneapolis in bond the purpose has at
last been attained. The grinding of wheat
from Western Canada will soon begin in
the mills Of that company.
Mr.. John Waslaburn Is quoted as say
ing that Canadian wheat is q problem
which the mills must face at once. They
are trying to solve it, as it bears on the
export market. They will soon have to
tackle it for the domestic market. The
wheat acreage lost in the northwest this
year will probably never be regained.
Much of the land that is not seeded to
wheat this year will on the whole, prob
ably be devoted thereafter to some other
purpose The climax of wheat raising in
the northwest has probably been passed
But our mills must have hard wheat II
they are to- continue to flourish.
The time is coming when they will have
Ito look to western Canada to supply
their wants.

The MINNESOTA FARMER

The Minnesota farmer needs no mans
sympathy, and is in a position to pour out
some of that feeling on people who really
need it. The census shows that in 1899
:154, $3.50 Minnesota farms, worth with AMI
mails and machinery $7Ss, 6s4,642, yielded
a gross income of $127,959, 1874. This in
come was 1872 per cent on the valuation
and about 5000 to each farm, which was
of the average size of 1897 acres, and Of
the average value of s4,329.
The census does not undertake to ten
us what the average net income of each
farm is, but allowing considerable mar
gin between that and the gross Of 5000 we
can be sure that the material condition OF
the average Minnesota farmer is far bet
ter than that of the average American.
The average income Of the bread winner
of America is only $500 a year. Out OF
that he must pay for rent, living, clothing
and many other expenses. The farmer has
his home included in the valuation of his
farm, much of his food is raised on the
large-about 500 a year, on the average
Moreover, if he is out Of debt, he is his
own master about as much as any man Is

the late President Mckinley indorsed The
government is practically committed to
relief for Cuba through tariff reduction.
and the Cubans were given to understand,
last year, that they would get it. We
have imposed upon them the limitations
embodied in the ttamendment and re-
fuse them the paltry concession Of 20 per
cent intartff duties on sugar and tobacco.
although we get full equivalent in trade
with the Cubans. The opponents of this
and of any concession stick to the played

rive all the benefit from such concession
and that the sugar growers will get moth

something about that. Several of them

BRANCH BANKING

s At the meeting Of the bankers asso-
Citations Of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory at Kansas City last
week, Ethe subject Of branch banking was
discussed largely. The associations of
Missouri and Kansas adopted resolutions
declaring the syst EN- 'unpa triotic, I'M.
American, unbusinesslike and tending to
establish a monopoly Of the great and
honored business of banking in.t the hands
of a few millionaires to the exclusion Of
the .men of the west, old and young. ;"
This, however, was not by any means the
verdict of all the bankers in session at
Kansas City.
It is easy to condemn a proposition in
such extreme terms of reprobation as
characterize the resolution referred to-.
The present national banking system was
for years condemned in precisely the same
terms as promoting grievous and intol-
cradle monopoly, grinding down the poor
by extortionate rates and all that sort Of
thing. Yet in those sections where the
most vituperative language was bestowed
| upon national banks and bankers there

money facilities furnished by the national
banks. Experience removed to a great
extent the animosity toward the system
So with regard to branch banking II
will be better to have some accurate
knowledge Of its workings before con-
/ demning 1t as curse. Prejudice against
the proposition seems to be based partly
on the fact that the system is that Of

Europe. This is the opposition Of blind
prejudice. It Is also based upon the the
