The other day as the train
pulled into the station, a crowd
of railroad men were present
as usual. A passenger alighted
who had a hair cut that looked
as though his wife might have
done the job, and it was so sug-
gested by one of the faithful,
but another and wiser one said:
"No, know that man he is
from Kansas where the wind
blows so hard that they have to
have threads cut in their hair
to keep their hats on"

Won't it seem good when the
campaign is over and a fellow
can talk to his neighbor with
out being under suspicion by
the passersby. The big state
papers are working overtime
on news that is not generally
interesting to their readers,
but it has to be done because
of their political affiliations.
The farmers are too busy
planting corn and watching
their crops grow to take a very

Desirable and welcome as a
settlement of the coal miners
is at this time, it must not be
forgotten that an arrangement
for two or three or even five
years is at best buta temporary
expedient. The same old
question will crop out again
and there is no doubt the min
ors will take care to be better
prepared for a fight the next
time they submit any demand S
to the operators. Nothing is
settled until it is settled right
and these Temporary SETTLE
ments are not exactly agreeable
to all concerned. One thing
certain is that the country will
not much longer put up with
the strain of these constant dis
turbances.

There is money in the dairy bust

is much hardd and combining work
about it, But some heards return

iothers, and the difference is greater
than most people appreciate The fol.
lowing investigation of fifty-three Hi
nois dairy heards will help to make
this plain.
OF seventeen herds recently visited
by the writer in one locality. the best
three herds averaged nearly five times
as much clear profit per COW as did
the poorest three herds. The milk
was sold by the can or weight and the
price reckoned al $115 per 100
pounds.
