CROPS in THE NORTHWEST.
Reports on Conditions in Minnesots
and the pakotas.

Chicago, Sept. SIN the crop re-
sumo prepared by q leading financial
institution of this city conditions in the
northwest are reported as follows:
MINNESOTA.
The state as a whole reports some
damage to wheat by rain in the early
part Of June, and in the Red River Vail
ley limited area was affected. Mar
shall county had cold dry spring with
high winds, which uncovered some
seed. 1t is believed that late seeding
has been overcome by favorable wealth
er and soil conditions. There appears
to be some fear that July rains re-
duced the vitality of the crop in north
western Minnesota, so that at. the pres
ent writing damage from rust is pos
sibihty. Our figures for acreage show
a very good increase, with a gain in
yield of IS to IA per cent, which We be-
lieve will result in crop of about SO
million bushels.
An acreage of about 100000 in
corn appears likely, and a gain in yield
of IL to IS per cent. There is some
complaint of weeds, caused by inability
to cultivate the crop, but general
weather conditions have been extremely
favorable, and bumper crop is anti
cipated.
There is large increase in the yield
of oats, with but little damage from
rust reported. which is in contrast with
last year The counties making the
least favorable showing are in the
southwestern part of the state, where
there was some damage from rain. AZ
in other states. there is a great inn
provement in quality.
Rye and barley both show some in.
crease in acreage, with good increase
I in yield, and the crop will undoubtedl,
be we'll ahead of a year ago. There i:
nothing to indicate an extraordinary
yield, but a full average is in prospect.
The hay crop is much better than las
year, and was saved in very good con
| dition. Potatoes are a very satisfactor.
crop. especially in the counties north
west of st. Paul and Minneapolis
where they form very substantial
portion of the total acreage. In thi
| locality yields of from 125 to $50 pc
cent of last year are reported

when another proves himself the better.
That is your policy with your road statesmen.
It is thus that you keep them always up to the
mark.
Why not the same policy with salesmen-ii,-
print who are selling your goods to the mil
lions?
We solicit advertising on one basis only.
We claim the ability to outsell everyone else.
We claim to make one dollar sell more goods
than from two to ten dollars without us.
Our hundreds Of clients have already proved
this. Our business-the largest OF its kinds
result of that fact.
We are ready to prove the same to you. WITH
out asking any commitment.
The proof can be given in actual fgures-r
given in your own line, and in rather shorA

When we do this, we will offer to handle
your advertising on the usual agents commits
sion. We will handle it without any contract.
If ever another agent proves the power TO
outseu us, we shall expect you 10 change TO
him.
There is simple way to prove 70 certainty
which agency can sell the most goods. # IN

The fact that a factory can turn out

No Tax on Coffee

Committee against the imposition OF a
tax on coffee. That is a tax which would
go right into the homes. We have no
doubt that every cent of the coffee tax.
no matter what may be said to the con-
trary, would be exacted from the buyer
at retail II was so with the war taxes.
and it is true OF every tax which can be
transferred TO the consumer.
II more revenue Is really needed. taxa
ton should be levied elsewhere than upon
the common people. Let not the extrava-
gances Of billion-dollar sessions be
charged upon the man and the woman
who can hardly make both ends meet II
we must keep up this imperialistlc ex-
penditure, II we must outvie the werId IN
military pomp and power. let the taxes
be levied upon those most able to pay,
and not upon those least able. An IN
heritance tax or an income tax would be
Infinitely preferable 10 a tax on coffee.
Even a tax on commercial and business
papers, vexatioUs though it is. would be
better.
A cry has been going up the last few
years from the consumer. The price OF
living has advanced faster than the rate
Of wages In the midst OF prosperity great
masses Of the people have been relatively
impoverished. What we need is reduc-
ton. not increase, OF taxation. The con-
suner demands TO be heard in his own
behalf To meet his plea with fresh tax
on one Of the commonest necessities of
life would be hollow mockery. We do not
think the statesmen responsible for the
tremendous increase in our national ex-
penditures will have the nerve 10 i'm
