Mr.. J. W. Vance and The Eagle
Mills.

Mr.. J. w. Vance has engaged to
represent the Eagle Milling Company
of Sparta, ILL.,, in this territory.
This is one of the best Touring
mills in the United States and they
turn out a very high grade of flour.
They are fortunate indeed in getting
a man to represent them that SO uni
versally enjoys the confidence and eS-
TEEN Of the public as does Mr.. j. w.
Vance. He will doubtless call on the
merchants in Grenada and adjacent
territory real soon aud The Sentinel
feels warranted in saying that ii flour
is purchased from the Eagle Mills
through him that the merchants
may expect flour unexcelled by any
ever before handled at the prices he
makes. The Mills write Mr.. Vance
that they will stand square to every
guarantee they make.

Drudgery in the Kitchen.

The path of progress is clear There
is no more reason why the woman
in modern civilization should scrub
and cook and darn and dust than there
is why these things should be done
by men. The development of i'm
proved machinery and the growth Of
labor saving devices of all kinds will
finally obviate the necessity of doing
these things each day in each home
through the land. Cooperation, which
we are slowly learning to greet as a
friend, will overcome the drudgery
and make the life of woman as en-
5oyable and eventful as that Of the
man.-Nearing and Watson in Eco

A man who was afraid of thunder

A man who was afraid Of thunder
crawled into a hollow log as place Of
safety during a thunder storm. The
thunder rolled and the rain poured
down in torrents, and the old log
began to swell up till the poor fellow
was wedged in so tight that he could
not get out. All his past sins began
passing before him. Suddenly he
remembered he had not paid his news
paper subscription, and he felt so
small that he was able to back right
out.-Ex.

Fresh Air for Complexion.

Tell young woman that fresh air
Is good for her health and she may
not take the trouble to try to have as
much of it as possible, but tell her
that it is good for her complexion and
she will sleep en- the roof rather than
forego the pleasure of it. And that
is just what it is good for as much as
anything else, for the complexion is
the outward sign of good running or

Corn Crop in the Hal! District.

One of the surprising records of
the year is made by the corn crop in
the center of the hail belt. The
crop was literally cut to pieces in
June and yet it has come up again
and the yield is surprisingly good,
being fully up to the average crop.
although, of course, not as good as
the crop this year outside the belt.
The crop is fully matured and while
the ears are smaller than where the
hail did not strike they are filled to-
the tip and the quality is as good
as any in the county Many farmers
near Morgan plowed up the rye and
barley fields after the storm and
sowed flax, corn and millet on parts
of it. We are not advised as to the
flax crops but the other crops are
fine and that section will have more
feed than ever for the winter. The
wheat and oat crop were badly dam
aged and will cripple those who had
lately bought land on small margins,
but the land owners who were not
too badly in debt are in good shape

despite what at one time looked like
al most a total loss for the year. The
bitches are being pushed across that
part of the county and hundreds of
acres that for the past four years
has been covered with lakes of wa
ter are now in shape for the pillow.
The southeast portion Of the county
has seen a vast amount of improve
ments this season and will be in
shape to do business next year in
spite of all their losses.

son, the R-pablira1 nominee Tor
governor. ca his many accom-
plishments howeve~. one whicr
has which has been great and
continual benefit to farmers
throughout the state is worthy OF
particular mention. During his
second legislative term he intro
duced, and succeeded in getting
passed, in spite of bitter and de-
termined opposition, what is gen
orally known as the open Mar
ket Law"
Prior to'the passage of this law
the railroad companies leased the
elevator privileges along their
right Of way to one or more Of the
large elevator companies, and it
was impossible for other parties
to obtain permits to erect ele-
vators or warehouses thereon.
Consequently the grain buying
business passed almost entirely
into the hands Of monopoly, and
stupendous fortunes were acct
mulated at the expense of the
grain producers. This bill per-
mits any one to 90 in upon the
right Of way and erect an elevator
or warehouse, and if the railroad
company refuses to grant site
for such structure the same can
be secured by process Of condem-
nation. It also makes all insti-
tutions buying grain public
warehouses" and subjects to state
inspection. Prior to the passage
of this law the margin upon
which grain was bought averaged
from 3 to 8 cents upon oats and
barley, 7 to 10 cents upon wheat
and corn, and from II to 20 cents
upon fax, but as a result of the
independent competition brought
about by its passage this margin
dropped to an average of cents
per bushel and an annual saving
OF from $3,5oo,ooo to 100000
was secured to the farmers and
consumers Of this state. Other
states following the lead of this
state adopted similar legislation
and the benefits resulting to the
small grain producers of the en-
tire country from such action is
beyond computation.

ex-president Bintliff and eX-judge
Steele were mixed up in contempt
ible petty gratis like those indicat-
ed. That men like these should
treat the position given them on the
board of education, where they were
charged with the care of funds paid
out at the cost Of sacrifice from
thousands who were paying large
taxes to support and keep up their
schools, as advantages to get little
"rake-offs" in cigars and lunches at
the cost of the children of their
city is not exactly an inspiring
thought.
The irregularities are probably
not large and likely the persons i'm
plicated are astonished at their own
moderation. Conviction is not like
" and punishment of any kind very
uncertain.
In one sense it is the business of
Minneapolis and in other senses it
concerns the whole state. For the
state is literally shovelling its thous-
ands of dollars in that same city to
build up there the great educational
center of Minnesota. We are send
ing our young men'and women there
by the thousands for the purpose of
getting higher ideals of citizenship.
And there they are being taught
as the greatest of these that if you
have polish and standing enough
you may be able to be elected on a
school board and get your lunches
and cigars free at public expense.
1t is just such things as these that
that unite the country against the
city and make it easy to get COM
bination to shut Minneapolis outsof
perhaps her fair share. of public
honors and state benefits. When
men like these are smirched with
petty graft it is small .iwonder that
confidence is grudgingly given to
any who hail from there. And that
city can prove her claim to greater
confidence in no better way than by
retiring from all connection with
public affairs men who thus abuse
public confidence.
