Every man who is engaged in
manufacturing or mercantile bust
ness finds that there is some money
which it is harder to collect than
it is to earn. On this line the
farmer is fortunately exempt, for

to those who buy of him.

The tomato crop is luxuriant
one this year. Many tied up the
vines to good stout stakes four feet
high; then they are thoroughly
pruned and cut back, and from the
present outlook it is good way to
handle them. No rotten fruit this
way, and the tomatoes are larger
and smoother.

-''On Circus Day" doesn't neces-
sarily mean the Ringing, Sells or
Barnum show is coming to town
for, in this instance it does not.
'On Circus Day" is a rip roaring
comedy drama, with it's plot and
action based principally on intense
dramatic incidents in which two
circus performers are the principal
factors, and is saturated with an
ocean of pathos and genuine broad
comedy. The play has an intensely
appealing heart interest and the
company selected to portray it is
made up of the very best talent
procurable. Tt will be seen at City
opera house for the first time on
Aug. 26th, for one performance
only.
The frequent designations of ap-
pointees as rural carriers all over
the country has drawn attention
anew to the fact that these carriers
are the poorest paid men in the
postal employ, and that unltss con-
gress raises the salary soon, the
service may suffer. The salary paid
is 5000 per year. The carrier who
receives this salary is compelled to
keep one or two horses and furnish
a conveyance. The dissatisfaction
with the salary is not confined to
any one district, but is general in
the northwest, and as high as fifty
designations a day have been re-
ceived. 1t is believed that congress
will at the next session raise the
salary to $500 dollars a year and
eventually to 1000.
