they had built elevators about five
cents, and farmers who had been luke
warm on the subject, became en-
thusiastic, and offered to buy stock at
Il considerable premium
The contagion spread like relig-

dominated by the Prince of Darkness,
and now farmer can hardly be found
in that territory who is not an en-
thusiastic advocate of farmers ele-
vators.
This is merely one of many ex-

only thing that is necessary to revolu-
tionize the grain market of the state
is to have it extended to every town

cause The Evening Times is not ex-
