The legislature Of the state Of Mis-
souri, has just passed a bill to prevent
tine, securing Of deficiency judg-
ments." Sometimes a mortgage is
given to secure a debt, and when the
mortgage is foreclOsed the amount
bid for the property is less than
the total Of the mortgage and costs.
Then suit is brought and q judgment
secured for the difference. Under the
new Missouri law, foreclosure and sale
wipe out the debt and costs. That
lis, the morteagee cannot take judg-
ment for an unsatisfed balance.

TIE many Emmons-county friends
of John Carignan are pleased to learn
that he has been appointed Indian
agent at Standing Rock. It is safe to
say that the new agent will not use
the influence Of his position in the
politics Of Emmons county. It is GER
tain that he will not send his cferk-to-
be around the county in the interest
of combination headed by the chair
man Of the democratic county COM
mittee, working in the interest Of
certain candidates that said chairman
could control on either ticket.

PROFIT IN MANURE.

How many farmers count the cost,
and compare il with the receipts. only
40 find that there are no profits made.
EGt they forget that the manure Is
profit. and that even when they cannot
see dollar of gain the riches have
entered the manure heap, will be
spread en- the farm, and finally be re-
UGrned to the farmer in the shape of
snmc other crop, that can be sowed
and converted into money. a good
farmer who values his manure becomes
richer every year, and his farm is more
Productive as the seasons roll 10y.
