at home and abroad when consump-
tive demand exceeds the products of
the farm. Extremely low prices are
among the things of the past, as Eu-
rope and Asia can take large volume
of imported agricultural products and
foreign demand will aid in maintain
ing conservative prices. The least
overcrowded Of all the professions is
husbandry, which offers the largest
returns for the capital invested.
WAS it the irony of fate or simply
coincfdent in the movement of great
reform bodies that Carrie Nation and
the stalwarts should meet in Water
town on the same date? The fact re-
mains that Carrie agitated enforce
ment of the anti-cigarette and anti
treating laws, while the stalwarts
advanced reforms in manner of con-
Quoting state affairs. The former
proposes to accomplish her purpose by
organizing Ratchet crusade clubs to
go on a smashing tour of the liquid
refreshment stands of the state, cor
recting violations of law in any man
ner as BELTS the occasion, according
to their view. The stalwarts propose
to go on a "moral suasion'' campaign
with the view of creating distrust in
the minds of the people over expendi-'
lures of the state administration, adj
vocating their cause in a manner be-
fitting the occasion from the speakers
view point. Thus it was, and thus it
will be, Carrie Nation will WELD her
Ratchet and the others will brandish
the political stiletto with the hope of
dislodging the powers that be.

IT is estimated by those who have
made investigation that fully %, 900, :
600 bushels of corn yet remain I'M
husked.in the fields of South Dakota.
Some less conservative investigators
place the amount at 10000, 900 bus.
With corn at SO cents a bushel it looks
as though $40, 600, 600 to SIS 100000 lies
buried beneath mantle of white.
The Sioux Falls Press says: "There
were not fifteen Sioux Falls people
who followed Irving Jones to Water
town. All but four of the party we're
people from other towns who passed
through Sioux Falls and should not
be credited to the efforts to get up a
crowd from this town. !"
TAFr's idea of federal control of
railroads may be good thing, but at
this distance 1t looks like too much
Capitalization of.power. States should
be considered. They individually have
rights that even the federal authori-
ties do not consider, and have condi-
lions peculiarly their own.
