wheat suners, Apples Proper.

OSCEOLA, Neb., Aug. 10. - Especially -
There is not much grain being marketed
here with the exception of corn. The mar
ket price of wheat is 67il cents. which is 2
cents lower than last report. The quality
and quantity Of wheat will not bear out
first reports. So much wheat was left in
the shock and so much rain came upon 1t
that the quality is poor. 1t is the same
with oats. the price of which is 1914 cents.
Corn holds its own at 41%c. Hogs keep
up the old price of $3.50. The apple crop is
going TO be good. They are not dropping
as much as reported and many of the
trees are so full Of the fruit that they have
to be propped up, especially in the orchard
of Colonel Gregg, in the outskirts of the

The Hessinn Fly.
Although the Hessian fly proved TO be
less destructive to small grain than had
been feared in the early spring" says Prof.
Lawrence Bruner, a sufficient number Of
the larvae have matured nevertheless, and
have gone into the 'fax-seed' stage to
make precautionary measures necessary at
this time If we would be perfectly certain
that no harm shall come to the grain
sown this fall"
Since the insect lives over summer in the
stubbe and issues sufficiently early in the
fall to deposit eggs on early sown grain,
It becomes necessary to destroy it while
yet in the "hax-seed" stage. This can be
done by either burning the stubble or plow-
ing It under thoroughly and deeply during
the present month. Every farmer should
accordingly see to it that all stubble OF
wheat barley and rye is thus treated be-
fore the flies can issue. II this is univers-
ally done throughout the fall wheat region
the insect can he almost entirely destroyed
In a single season. Cooperation, however,
is absolutely necessary and the work must
be done before the flies issue, as suggested
above. Late planting is also recommended
where this can be done without fear of
interference by an early winter.

the editor of the Herald was a

written by his wife; that his illumi-
mating editorials are clipped from
old congressional records, and that
his articles on "Prominent Men"
are copied from cyclopedias. He

EXPENDITURES.
mo. 81

passed by Congress-, we find the
most striking examples of reckless
expenditures. These measures are
framed on principle peculiar to
all graft legislation. The members
of the committee decide how much
they want and then they give the
other members of the Legislative
body enough so that they will vote
for the passage of the bill. 1t is
curious spectacle to see men honest
as sunlight, men whom money
cannot buy, but "who are anxious
to do something for their dis
tricte" who are eager to make a
record of having government money
spent among their constituents
vote for a measure carrying
millions of useless expenditures for
the sake of getting an appropria-
ton of few thousand dollars for
some river or creek in their home
district that never has and never
will carry as much traffic as is
borne on the birch bark canoes of
the Indians across Leech lake. In
the last River and Harbor Bill
millions of dollars were appro-
priated in sums of ten thousand
dollars or less, not dollar OF
which would benefit commercial
facilities in the least.
But it is not in the small apprO-
priatiOns alone that this waste is
found. Enough money is spent
each year on improvements on the
Mississippi river to pay for trans
porting on the railroads all the
freight and passengers carried in
steamers that ply that river and it
is an open question whether or not
it is in as good condition for
navigation now as it was before a
dollar was spent on it. No appro-
priation ought to be made for
river or harbor improvement unless
the annual increase in transporta-
ton by reason of such improvement
will pay fair rate of interest on
the amount vested. A man
would not spend a thousand dollars
a year to keep road in order
across farm in order that he
might conveniently market two
hundred and fifty dollars worth of
wheat, nor would man build a
twelve hundred dollar barn to
shelter six tons of hay. Yet
Congress annually appropriates
millions for rivers and harbors up
on which the only schooners that
are ever seen are the schooners
that comes out of kegs, and the
curious thing about it is the people
make no remonstrance. A sensible
man never makes an expenditure of
bis own money without he expects
a: return of some character. An
honest man will exercise as much
or more care over trust funds as
he will over his own. Government
funds are trust funds and Congress
is the custodian thereof. 1t is not
only wrong but criminal TO expend
these funds without the public
being benefited thereby.
The government expenses may
again be classified as:
Running Expenses,
Utility Expenses,
Payments of Obligations,
Gratuities.
Thess simple rules should govern
them all. Running expenses
should be kept as low as good
service and fair pay will permit.
Utility expenditures should pay
a fair return upon the amount
expended to secure utility.
All just obligations should be
promptly met and all doubtful and
fraudulent claims promptly re.
pudiated.
+, Gratuities should only be allowed
in very deserving cases or in
INSTANCES of great calamity.
