At least four machines are busy
threshing in this neighborhood.
At this rate threshing will not be
50 late as last year. The yield is
very gratifying and the prices are
away up. About Y CT hts per BUSH
ell is received for good barley, and
oats and wheat are equally high
priced. No wonder the price of
beer will have to go up. But no
difference will it make to the man
who drinks. He will have his
glass, if it costs everything he has.
And how often we see the price of
drink so high that it costs soul.
