is visiting few days with his many
friends. The doctor was at Louis
Vile where he attended the big
meeting of the Shriders, and stop
ped off for a few days to transact
business and greet his hundreds of

and fine as a school boy. There Is
some talk of kidnapping him and
compelling him to remain with US.
and we don't believe we would have
hard work to make him do IT.. tho his
business on the coast has developed
wonderfully. He is Aow specialist
for skin diseases, and is taking con-
siderable interest in real estate on
the coast.

Farmer the Real Financier

It is up to the farmer whether we
are to have a continuation Of good
times, according to E. H. Hartman
Cali that is needed to keep us on the
top of the wave is for the farmer to
continue his liberal development and
production" Mr.. Hartman believes
that it is the duty of every farmer
to spend his money freely for ma
shinery, railroad stocks or anything
that takes his fancy. It is not ma
terial what the farmer does with his
cash so long as he does not hide it..
Withdrawing money from circulation
Is unbusinesslike, and furthermore is
pnkind towards the high financiers.
Fhe farmer is the man who is max
Ing the Wall street game possible.
Re he becomes peevish the million
aires will find it dull sport.
Mr. Hartman does not need to
worry. The American farmer real
ICES his responsibility. He has no
attention of crowding even the mil
Iionaires to the wall. He knows that
be is many times a Millionaire; that
be is the mainstay Of the nation, rich
and poor alike. He harbors enmity
toward none. He permitted Mr.. Pat
ten. to take 100000 profit last
nonth when all that was necessary
to prevent it was for the farmer to
dump his wheat onto the market.
But the agriculturist would not
squeeze" even a board Of trade
manipulation, and he has no designs
upon Mr.. Hartman or his friends.
The farmer expects to produce more
wealth than ever during this sum-
saer, and he promises not to hide it.
He will buy automobiles, go to the
Seattle exposition or make such
ssaer disposition of his cash as will
keep it in circulation, and thus save
the Wall street magnates from hay
ing to go to work.-Pioneer Press.
