The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1902-10-31

Since the primary election there
have been many complimentary
things said Of Senator She'll by near
~ all the papers of this county, all
that would or could be expected to
say anything in his favor, and, all
the republican papers of Murray
county have done thoir full duty by
the MOBILES county senator, they
took their defeat at the primary
like men and are now supporting
Mr. Shell
Mr.. Shell is in position that can
not be exalted, to represent the
people in the legislature. He fully
conversaat with all the methods
and tactics of the law makers. He
is a man of good judgment
and his counsel is desirable.
During the past session of the
legislature he has beon member
OF nearly all the most important
regular COMMITTEES and often on
special COMMITTEES, all of this demons
trates that among those who require
his services he is most desirable
man. This mark of distinction
should recommend him to any who
are not familiar with his standing
in the legislature
We want to re-elect U S senator
in three years and to do so wait to
be certain of being able to do so
therefore it behooves the republic
cans to secure the election of
every republican Legislature posi-
BILE There is no reason why Mr. Shell
should receive every republican vote
of the county and many democrats
put it this same way, besides this
say they consider he can best repre-
sent our district and will receive
their vote, this being the case there
is no doubt of his election, but do
not stay at home thinking he will
be elected any way. it is we'll worth
the time of any voter to cease work
a sufficient length Of time to 60 to
the polls and vote for Senator Shell
alone if there was no other Off GERS
to he elected, it is important to all.
Do not neglect duty, but 60 to the
polls and place an X after the name
of Daniel Shell.
Europe expects the out turn OF
this years crop to be with the
exception of that Of 1898, the largest
in ten years. The estimate of the
Liverpool Corn Trade News makes
it ia, OOO,OOO bushels larger than
Last year, and puts the hardest OF
Great Britain at ST, 900, 600 bushels,
against 81, 600, 900 in 1901. The
situation is important to the Amerl-
can farmer, as he will have a good
deal of grain to sell abroad during
the coming year. His wheat crop
will be 12S, 600. 900 bushels behind
that of last year, but the record
with three exceptions-1901, 1898
and 1891. His corn crop will be
one of the largest ever harvested,
probably exceeding 1900, 600, 600
bushels. He will be able to sell his
product at renumerative prices, If
not at high prices, and it is a
satisfaction to know that the
world is not going to starve during
the coming year.

PRICE OF BINDERS.

PRICE OF BINDERS.
Within the past few days state
ment have been. printed in various
newspapers to the effect that the
international Harvester company
intends to advance the price of bin
ders next season to 1925; also that
the number of general agents
will be reduced to seventy five.
The Free Press has taken pains
to look up the matter and finds that
the price of binders now from 1920 to
1925. A general agent for the Inter-
nationl Harvester company, who
is in position to know what he is
talking about, made the statement
today to The Free Press, that the
price of binders will not be advanced
next season. He said that had it
not been for the combine the price
would necessarily have to shove
up owing t.; the increase in the cost
of material. Steel alone advanced
tenty two per cent last April.
Another statement that should
not be allowed to pass unnoticed is
that one relating to the price bind
ers are sold at in Russia. 1t has been
claimed that the figure is 1925. AS
matter of fact, 80 the general
agent stated, the retail price of the
machine in Russia is $780,. at least
$25 more than the binders sells
for in this country.
It is safe to predict that the force
of general agents will not he reduced
to seventy five for the simple reason
that the business of the gigantic con-
Germ could not be transacted by sui h
limited number of men. --Mankato

Computations as to the losses
through the coal strike vary from
$2E. 900. 600 to $3.50, 1000 900, but
nobody has yet tried to figure the
loss suffered by the people, whose
interests have never been matter
of grea ter concern from the start.

The report of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue for the last fiscal year
showed that there we're l,033 men in
Maine who had licenses from the federal
government to retail intoxicants and
who paid the necessary sum to exempt
them from prosecution by the federal
authorities. That was almost third
as many licenses as were issued to men
In Massachusetts, where the number WAS
1858. 1t was slight falling off for Maine
however, as the retail liquor lincenses
issued The previous year numbered l, l5l.
But besides these retailer of wet goods
in Maine there were several wholesalers,
as is shown by the reports of the inter-
nal revenue commissioner that whole
sale licenses were issued to 10 men In
Maine, as against % licenses for the pre-
vous year. Apart from these govern
ment licenses to sell Intoxicating liquors,
there were 351 licenses bought by Maine
dealers for the right to retail malt liquors
as against 281 licenses issued the pre-
Vlous fiscal year, which would seem TO
Indicate that the consumption of beer
and ale Ia jumping up in the Pine Tree
State. There were also Issued whole
sale licenses for the sale Of malt liquors
10 Maine to the number of 81, as against
"A for the previous fiscal year, which
also notes that the wholesalers find the
demand for beer and ale on the increase.

Maine Teachers Association

The twenty-third annual meeting of
the Maine Teachers Association, to be
held in Waterville on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, December 30 and 81, promises to
be of unusual excellence. The program
will include numerous speakers from
Maine among whom are President White
Of Colby, President Fellows of the Uni
versity of Maine, and state Superintend-
ent W. w. Stetson. Interesting pro-
grams of one half day each will be pre-.
sented for the five separate departments.
A feature which should add to the
success Of the meetings is the combina-
ton of Schoolmasters' Club and the As
ISOLATION Of Superintendent with the
general State Teachers Association.
The SchoOlmasters' Club will hold its
annual dinner at the Emwood Hotel on
Wednesday evening. 1t is expected that
Prof. Tyler will be the guest of the Club.
The Association of Superintendent will
hold its annual meeting in connection
with the department of the superintend-
ence on Wednesday forenoon.
The usual reduced rates are granted
by all the railroads of the state. Water
vile with its central location is easy of
access, and, with its new city hall, will
afford excellent facilities for the meetings
of the Association. A large gathering
of teachers is expected from every part
of the state,

Col. William j. Bryant well, and be can
well afford to be a Faddist. He has Just
moved into a new $40 900 house, and he

man prominently representing theoretical
Socialism in the nation, should find such
resolute and tangible Individualism in
his own successful experience as Person

Bridgton News: What right has the
Lewiston journal to assume that after
Jan. !, Cumberland county is to GO back
to the old ways as to liquor law nom
enforcement? 1t is talking that per.

warblings as TO "resubmission" as a
panacea for ills. Even should the new
sheriff incline to do what the Journal
predicts he will, he is by no means su.

Under the title "White Coal" the
Revue Scientifique gives an account of
the use made of water power in one of
the departments of France (Orne). 1t
appears that more than 10000 horse
power is utilized in " establishments.
Ia 1880 the SAME establishments used
only 1880 horse power. The lesson from
France is one to be needed in our own
country, where energy is wasted in a
thousand streams. There need not be
a single steam engine in California, for
example, as the hydraulic energy is more
than sufficient to do the required work.
A very small stream will drive water
wheel, and Il the work about the place
can be done by small motor. Cities
can be lighted and the work Of manufac.
tories performed by larger plans. Rail-
ways can be operated by dypamos in
stead of steam, etc. What is true of Cal
ifornia is, in degree, true of many other
States of the Union.

We read recently an interview with a
business mn who complained of the
prevalence of out of town shopping, and
whose attention was called to the fact
that while the goods he dealt In were
conspicuously advertised In the city
papers, he had not advertised them In
the local paper, and the people thus had
no means of knowing that he kept them.
The article further said, what is very
true, that the local dealer often sells at
lower prices, while there are other OBJ
vious advantages In dealing at home, 1t
is advertising that brings the mail order
business; and advertising is needed to
hold the local trade. BeLfnSt .LonrnnL
