MINIMUM PRICES
For 1906 on Tobacco Few
Timely Suggestions on
the Matter.


1906 crop in the Green River District
is now fairly well determined. There
fore, minimum prices on the crop
might be established. There is lit
tie need In setting minimum price
on the crop until it is for sale, how
ever. The proper time to establish
a minimum price on any grade of the
1906 crop is when all of the 1903
grade of that crop has been sold. But
it is we'll enough to watch condi-
tons at present, in order to the
better be able to make those prices
right.
The minimum price should be the
net price received by the farmer.
No other plan will ever be found full
Iy satisfactory. 1t may not have
been possible to have compelled the
buyers to foot up the charges while
we could only control a small por-
ton of the tobacco, but when We once
get control, 1t can be done. We can
do it on the 1906 crop, if we pool as
much of the 1907 as we did of 1906.
If the grower is to get the mini
mum price, clear of all expenses, it is
plain that the buyers must foot the
bill or expenses. Will they do so?
Undoubtedly, If they cannot get
enough tobacco without 1t is our
privilege to see that they cannot.
Then, If they can hold the tobacco
at less expense than we can, they
will not permit us to hold it, for 1t
would not be a business policy for
them. Let it be at all times remem-
bered that tobacco is always held by
some one until 1t is finally sold to
the consumer, and that the consum-
er pays all the bills. The farmer
must see to it that he gets fair
price and the consumer must pay the
bills.
Tobacco is now being sold in the
district for prices ranging from Sc to
50, and 81 for trash. The farmer
who receives that price has no expens'
es to pay. One reason why we are
not more fully organized is because
a number of farmers believe that
should they pool their tobacco, they
could not get more than they are now
getting, and expenses would be
charged up to them. True, 1t Is not
fair to assume that they would be able
to get 50, Sc and 81, but for the or
ganization. Without it, the price
would be "a, SO and 81, and TO get
80, s. and 81 and pay expenses of
handling and. storing is better than
"a, So and 81 net. But many people
are hard to convince that 1t is their
duty to take SO, Sc and 81 and pay
expenses, If they can get 80, " and
81 without expense. And they Will
not be convinced until they are sure
OF getting fully as much or more

outside. 1t seems to me, therefore,
that If 1906 tobacco is worth 50, Sc
and 50 net to the farmer to-day, it
will be worth the same price a year
from to-day, If in good condition. In
other words, the minimum price
should be as high, if not higher, than
the highest prices now being paid, and
that net to the farmer. That is, the
selling price, dry weight, should be
fixed so high that when sold and all
expenses paid, the farmer would re-
ceive the minimum price on each
pound, delivering weight. Only 10y
doing this can 1t be said that the
farmer gets his price.
The 1905 crop was of better quail
ty than the crop of 1906. Minimum
prices were fixed in October, 1906,

And there are really no trusts.
And coal costs fifty cents ton.
And life insurance is absolutely

And ice is delivered free.
And all men promptly pay all

And the churches are regularly

The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and 9th err
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used is manufac-
tured under a new process s
which develops its greatest eff.
ficiency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
il seems to exert a tonic infiu-
ence upon the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carnrinitives add prop
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The combination of the whole
makes a remedy absolutely in
valuable to any man. or woman
suffering from dyspepsia-and
not only a remedy, but a cure
which works by gradually re-
building and stimulating t h e
glands which perform the di.
gestive functions. Package, Csc.

A new idea in Cough Syrups.
This preparation owes its eff
ficiency to the presence of Wild
Cherry, Vinegar Squills, Bone
set, Horehound and Syrup.
All of these have been known
for a hundred years as remedies
for coughs and hoarseness.
In Rexall Cherry Juice Cough
Syrup, all of these remedies
have been combined by pro-
cess of manufacture that has
blended them into perfect me-
dicinal harmony whereby the
characteristics of each support
and reinforce the others.
The pathological properties
of each ingredient does its own
particular work in easing the in
famed membranes, loosening
the phiegm and setting up a
condition of health in the bron-
chial and nasal passages.
One spoonful will relieve the
infamed membranes and tempo
rarily stop the cough. One bot
tie will work a cure. 1t is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to the taste

Ey ROBERTUS LOVE.

BY ROBERTUs LOVE.
THRUST busting is young thing,
not vat of age. The very first
step by the United States gov
eminent toward curbing the
anarchistic tendencies of gigantic cor
porations was taken in 1887, when the
Interstate commerce law was created.
In these twenty years the trust bust
ing business developed rather slowly.
Two or three years ago it's progress was
accelerated by a certain clearly defined
policy Of the national administration,
altogether nonpartisan. This policy
was merely the enforcement of the
laws Since then something has been
doing. Just now the biggest things
that ever happened in the trust bust
ing tine are in process Of working out.
In Europe thousand years ago and
for few centuries later the feudal
baron was above the law. In the
United States for the past thirty years
the Doodle baron has been above the
law. Since the American civil war
two entirely new things have become
known to the world-tramps and trusts
The trusts, or monopolies, have been
largely responsible for the tramps by
crushing competition and squeezing the
small business man out Of the game.

Blood Money Kings.

Europe, jealous Of this new nation,
has been looking across the waters
and laughing in her sleeve at Uncle
Sam this score of years past. Why?
Because" says Europe, "the repub-
tcan form of government is a failure.
You have no blood royal kings in
America, but you have your blood
money kings, and those kings will
overthrow your liberties"
But Uncle Sam is saying to Europe,
mot If overthrow the blood money
kings first"
And that is the germ and gist of
trust busting.
