WHEAT GROWERS CONVENTION.

When the wheat growers Of Wash
ington meet at Pullman this week they
will probably go on record on two
questions of vital concern to them,
, says the Seattle P. l. One of these has
to do with the Inspection and proper
grading of grain. a question particu-
larry pertinent at this time because of
a measure now before congress which
seeks to establish an inspection and
grading service at Seattle and Taco
ma
The other question, which is of equal
Importance from the wheat growers
standpoint, has to do with shipping
wheat in bulk. The problem of elimin-
ating the grain sack is one of consid-
cradle moment 1t would mean a great
saving 10 wheat growers if wheat
could be shipped in bulk instead of be-
ing shipped in sacks.
The elevator system would be very
much less expensive. and would prob
ably prove more satisfactory III every
way.
Wheat growers of this state would
do well TO reach some conclusion with
respect TO both questions at Pullman.
because, acting together they will
WELD sufficient influence to secure
whatever changes in the law, or in the
method of handling and shipping
wheat, their best Interests may de-

AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARc

The Tribune published an ex-
cellent poem by George Abbott
last week, and one that only
tends to confirm the writer in a
belief long entertained of Mr..
Abbott's superior intelligence.
But the spirit of the poem and
the lesson it taught are wrong.
The world does move and with
its moving the years accumulate
and leave us the bearer OF their
burdens. The good old days
are changing and unless we
change with them we r like
ga clock that has stopped in
the night, pointing ever to an
hour that is past AS long as
the children are with us the
world will be young. Man
alone grows old as naturally as
the sparks fly upward. If a
man stays young it is a matter
of temperament overcoming the
passing years.
The boy athelete may not
have wanted to cut the brambles
from the blackberry patch. Such
things are done from necessity
not from choice. But his sports,
his love of physical contest,
even his discordant high school
yell should not, therefore be
condemned.
Such things may not have OBJ
tanned in the good old days, but
this may prove a lack in the
good old days rather than a
wrong in the doing of such
things.
"Old scenes changed to fret us,
The living more forget US,
There are fewer to regret us
Every year."
The athletic contests have
created a love for the high
school and a school spirit that
was entirely lacking in the
writer g school days.
The field meets have taught
the boys the value OF a sound
body. There is not a smoker
in the high school. There is

JUST DIFFERENT

The Tribune today has the
largest paid circulation in the
county.
The Tribune does more iob
work each year than the other
local papers combined.
The Tribune's weekly pay rolI
exceeds the combined pay roll
of all other local papers.
The Tribune has never sent an
employee out on Saturday night
without paying him in full.
The Tribune pays the mer.
chants cash for what it buys and
receives cash from the merchants
for what 1t sells.
The Tribune has never run
debts with the merchants and
then compelled them to buy ad.
vertising to get their money.
The Tribune has never threat
ened a mans business to get his
patronage.

The Falls City tribune., 1908-08-07

The personal appeal OF Mr..
Bryan and Kern for campaign
contributions from the farmers
and any one else who will con.
tribute is a new departure in
American politics. Who ever
heard of a candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, other
than Mr.. Bryan, who has per-
sonally asked for campaign con-
tributions? Cleveland, Parker,
Mckinley and their predeces-
sors in the race for the presi'
dency never thought of such a
thing and had too much dignity
and sense of honor to go before
the public and ask them tol
money to pay the candidates
campaign expenses. But Their
Bryan is Bryan and he has
shown a knack for raking in
the dollars. What the public
may think of it may be seen
later.
