RATHER AMUSING.

An exchange arriving at The Herald

a neighbofing state that has a habit
of knocking and advising people TO
send TO Sears, Roebuck g. Co. and
other catalogue houses. abusing its
citizens, etc, contained the following,
which is marvel Of rankness:
This paper has been accused OF
knocking. We do not deny the charge.
But We are going to turn over new
leaf--for thirty days. For thirty days
we are going to be good and boost
Remember we only promise 10 be
good for thirty days, and this may
strain our conscience.
During the thirty days we are go.
ing to boost and we want every one
to come to the front and pay the bill.
We want merchants TO forget the past
for thirty days, and give us their
money SO that after thirty days we
can resume our old tactics, advise
our readers to send to catalogue
houses, score those engaged in legilI-
mate business, tell our readers they
can buy cheaper in evety town in
the county than the one We live in
ard make our living. As rule this
method would not work--at least in
many towns, but we manage to keep
moving. We know it will be grand
treat TO be good for thirty days, but
we promise 10 make up in boosting

fertility OF our land cannot be ques.

that we have plenty of water Reser-

ductive farms at this time.
In addition to the Carey lands which

The Herald does not consider ten

forty, sixty and eighty acre farms
will prove profitable. In TACT, the
time is coming when there win be
more farms under eighty acres than

thousands OF acres now under cultiva
