Never More COntented.

The harvest was an agreeable sur
prise to Indiana farmers, claims the
Indiana Farmers Guide, and farmers
were never more contented and pros
porous than at present. While the
total bushels produced of various crops
may not be as large as in some
previous years, the Indiana farmers
will receive greater aggregate sum,
because of the increased prices. The
last report of the auditor of state
shows the average of bank stocks in
Indiana to be 30 per cent above par.
Illinois has as much corn this year
as it had in 1906 by the government

The largest and most valuable hay
crop ever produced in the history of

The Nebraska Farmer submits the re-

JUDGE PARKER
GIVES WARNING
Sees Danger in Too Much Legisla-
latiOn

Portland, Me-, Aug, 27.-The
principal feature Of the 18th annual
meeting of the American Bar ssocia.
tion, which convened here yesterday,
WAS the address of President Alton
b. Parker. In hts address the form
er iurist and democratic presidential
candidate IN 1904 sounded note OF
alarm and the legislation which has
Teen in progress directed against the
vested interests" and also dealt at
length with the encroachment Of fed
eral authority on the power of the
states.
Judge Parker noted the unprece.
dented prosperity that the country
has been enjoying. He then led up
to the present reign of legislation by
showing the general public noted
gradually that certain individuals
and corporations were gaining more
than seemed to be just proportion
of the present day wealth; how the
storm of protest arose, and finally
ended in the mad rush to curb the
gathering of wealth, by legislation,
both state and national. The former
iurist was of the opinion that legis-
lation might be carried too far, and
also hoped that the friction between
state and nation would be settled with
out difficulty. He pointed out, how
ever, that the recent conflict between
the federal government and the state
Of North Carolina had made this
settlement all the harder.

MILES OF FAIR ADS
But No Money for Country
PaDpPS.

Some idea OF the extent of the adj
vertiaing done by the Interstate fair
is conveyed by a recent order OF the
management given to a local print
ing firm. This single order for cloth
posters was one of a large number
given from day to day by the fair as
ISOLATION. The posters ordered were
two feet wide and il laid side by side
would cover a space of two miles
long and two feet in width.
The entire number of window
cards contracted for, showing the ia
miliar horses head, If laid side by
side would cover a space of two feet
wide and over one and a half miles
long. These are only two OF the ad-
vertising items. In addition there
are such trifles as 1000 whistles for
use by the growing generation OF the
Inland Empire and a host of other
advertising novelties which each year
tend to swell the advertising figures
of the fair management to a sum
which is by sno means inconsider-
able. Spokane Chronicle.
The above shows plainly that the
fair management, true to the Spok'
ane spirit, has plenty of money to
spend for advertising at home, while
they appeal to the newspapers in other
towns for column after colmun of
free advertising and display ad at a
price fixed by the manager OF the
fair, "beoause tLe funds are short
and we must cut down the amount
expended for advertising. Last
year the fair had a $40, 600 surplus
over all expenses, large part OF
which should have been paid to the
country publishers. This year the
Press proposes to deal with the fair
on a business basis instead of ex-
changing $50 worth of advertising
for little pasteboard which saves
so cent admission fee. We will run
fair advertising at regular rates for
both readers and display. On nc
other terms will any fair advertising
