Bostonians disguised themselves as In
dams did not detract any from their
vaIor, as there were British soldiers sta

napolis.
The fact that the young men from the
hill country, the men who had left their
family estates along the coast, and gone
to the frontier to build new ZONES, led
in all the Revolutionary movements was
emphasized by Mr. Warfeld. IN the
coast towns the people were more con-
servative, and the wealthy citizens ae-
sired TO avoid any clash with Great
Britain. but the fearless young men
from the interior resented any abridg-
ment of their rights, and led in the
attacks against the authority of King
George. Young men from the remote
sections OF Anne Arundel county led the
movement, which resulted in the de-
struction of the Peggy Stewart and
in Pennsylvania. and all the other col
onies. Mr. Warfeld said 1t was the from
tiersmen who melted action against
British oppression.

Tie price of wheat at Ritzville IS
now above the 70 cent mark. This all
will acknowledge is very good price,
and yet very few are selling. OF course,
not many have delivered in this vicin.
ity, Tut in the Walla Walla co ,ntrv,
where the threshing is neatly done,
farmers arc holding on fer higher
price. Very few sell on rising mar.
ket. 1t is the falling market that
starts the holder to cover. Some hold
because they want the top price
others, because they are afraid that if
they sell for less their judgment and
business ability will be questioned,
and many hold or sell simply because
others do. Perhaps it is well to re-
member that in recent years there
have been instances when farmers in
have held their wheat for 81 n
bushel and have sold the same for 81
cents or less.
