THE KNoCKER MUST GO.

Fer some time after the prosperity
came to the agricultural industry in
northeastern Colorado the "knocker"
was legion and he always took great
delight in reminding the old timer and
the new conner, through his wonderful
foresight. that the next year would b,
very dry year and crops would burr
up. He succeeded in causing many anx-
ious fears and no doubt prevented som,
Of the timid from locating in our county
but his doleful predictions could no
stem the tide of prosperous farming o,
stop the courageous ome-seeker from
locating in our county. Contrary T.,
his predictions pros serous farming ye;
has followed prosperous farming yea.
till the Knockers predictions have be
come so unpopular that in shame ant
disgust most Of the "legion" have eli.
ther joined the boosters or taken thei
departure for some quiet place wher
they can find more congenial company.
The Knockers that remain are scare,
and talk very little on their hobby ex.

stitute, started move for q -four mill
in Phillips county and the HERALD en-
dorsed the movement as wise and prac-
ticable. 1t now seems that the way
has opened up for securing the desired
mill much sooner than the most san
guine supporters Of the move dared
hope for. We are informed that one of
our active and enterpIising citizens has
purchased a fine -four mill and is now
ready to move this mill to Holyoke il
reasonable inducements are offered him
for so doing This is an opportunity
that the farmers of the county and the
business men Of Holyoke cannot afford
to let pass without taking advantage
of. The time has come when the coun-
ty needs such an industry. Phillips
county has been coming right to the
front in the production of wheat and it
is now plainly to be seen that wheat is
to be the best paying crop Of the coun-
y and also that wheat raising can be
made so profitable that the acreage of
that grain in the county will increase
at very rapid rate. II 30 acres out Of
every section of land in the county was
sown to wheat and produced 20 bushels
per acre, it would give US in the neigh
borhoad Of 800. 900 bushels in the coun-
ty and, at the present rapid increase in
che acreage of wheat in the county,
there is good reason to believe that it
will not be many years till that mark is
reached. With such prospect before
us. 1t is the part Of wisdom for the
farmers and business men to join hands
in preparing to handle our wheat crop
IN manner that will give to the farm
ers the highest possible market price
for their crop. 1t is conceded by all

How many housewives know that
prunes require absolutely no sweeten-

hours and hours" there is sugar
from them that nature provides as u
sweetening? In other words, they
sweeten themselves and if cooked long
enough are covered with rich sirup
without one grain of sugar being add
ed to them. The flavor is also improv-
ed by this method Of cooking them,
and the oftentimes despised prune
sauce becomes al enjoyable addition

NEW STAR ON OLD FLAG.

The flag of the forty-six stars.
There is something inspiring about
the mere name. Some one is like
ly to get busy writing Il song with
this title, for the forty-sixth star
may now be added to the national
emblem. The war department has
selected the spot for the. new star,
and flag makers are hard at work
making new banners with an addi-
tional star in the lower right hand
corner OF Old Glory's blue corner
piece. All the army and navy flags
will be called in and the new star
added. Every householder and pa
triot who flies a flag will have to
add new star to be up to date with
his banner. 1t is not necessary to
buy new flag, but it is essential to
add a new star to the lower right
hand corner of the blue field. The
place provided on the flag belongs
to the thriving new state of Okla
homa.-New York Tribune.

Iul 10 SCaCe CnaC all the 1acCS upon
which its conclusions were based
were accumulated from testimony
given under oath. With this pre-
lude as to the authenticity of it's
statement the Commission pro-
ceeded calmly to dissect the
Standard Oil Company in a fash
ion that has never before been
equalled in a government report.
1t declared that the company for
years had maintained a paid spy
system, whereby the secrets of
its competitors were bought from
the competitors own employees,
it said "the ruin of it's competi-
tors has been a distinct part of
the policy of the Standard Oil
Company in the past, systematic
ally and persistently pursued. "
1t charges that the Standard has
tampered with the oil inspectors
in various states, has bought ad-
vertising space in the newspapers
which it has paid for at advertis-
ing rates, and filled with alleged
news matter favorable to the
company, has operated independ-
ent oil concerns as such after
they had been bought by the
Standard in order to fool the pub
lie, has sold three grades of oil
at varying prices out of the same
barrel, and has used every possi-
BILE means for destroying compe-
tition wherever it existed and
subsequently taking the price of
its victory out of the pockets of
the consuming public. The re-
port characterizes the operations
of the company as unfair and
even disreputable", and adds,
this policy of killing competition
at any cost has been pursued
without much reference either
to decency or conscience. 1t says
that where independent concerns
have been able to exist at all they
have been forced to sell the most
of their product abroad where
the laws of foreign countries
gave them protection that is de-
MED them in the United States.
The conclusion drawn by the
Commission is that the existing
law is inadequate to cope with
the evils complained of and that
it will be necessary to separate
entirely the production of oil
from it's transportation, because
it has been largely through un-
fair advantages in the transpor-
tation of oil that the Standard
has been able to fasten it's grip |
of monopoly on every community
in the United States.
The report is a most remarka-
BILE document and a very scathing
of the Standard Oil
Company, but it is doubtful
whether it's publication will have
any permanent effect in securing
4 square deal for the public and
the independent oil pro-
lucers to continue their work in
peace. 1t is possible that repeat
I'd attacks such as the Standard
mas been subjected to, almost
continuously for the past five
'ears, may have their effect in
he end, and arouse the govern
nent to some action that will re-
ieve the public from this
greatest and most conscienceless
If all modern monopolies.
