So the Board Of Trade men are
anxious to protect the farmer from
himself. In the meantime what
is the farmer doing to protect
himself?
The grain growers Of Minnesota
have identically the same interest
in Federal Inspection as the Flick
ertails; they are up against bad
weighing, unfair dockage and poor
grading. Why then should the leg.

nothing. Every grain grower

The farmers of this state 81

The farmers of this state should
get busy. The McCumber bill
for Federal Inspection of grain is
now up for hearing in AgricuItur-
al Committee of the senate. The
Board of Trade have numerous
representatives from their several
bodies; also corps of we'll paid
attorneys. before this committee.
The object of all this show of force
before the committee is to bring
pressure to bear to hang up the
bill. this is undoubtedly the truth
OF the matter. The Board of
trade men state that they are a
necessity, but for them the wheat
growers would find great difficulty
in handling their grain, that the
Board of Trade gives steady
market at fair price, but for
them prices would be very low
and the farmer would suffer many
losses. Jim Patten is a promin-
ent member of the Chicago Board
of Trade, he is great friend Of
the grain grower. Last November
he was interviewed by a reporter
of the New York Sun and is quoted
as saying, "Our farmers are real.
ly not as good as those of Europe.
Our production of wheat to the
acre is not one half that it is in
England, France or Germany. Con-
ditions out west were never bet
ter. The farmers as a general
thing have plenty of money. 1

clation.l
1t was only cheap downtown res.
taurant that rocked with the odors of
cabbage and onions and boiled din
ners, and the cashiers desk itself was
an affair Of Il secondhand auction
house. but the girl behind it had tue
air of Il duchess extending her hand
to be kissed. When the red faced pro-
prietor scolded her she listened indif-
ferently or with the slightest upcurl of
her lip, and when he tried to be jocose
or to make love her manner was jus.
the same. Many times tie had threat
ened to discharge her or to marry her
offhand, but before her superbly in.
different eyes the words had died in
his throat. and he had apologized and
scowled and grumbled in the same
breath. She was good at figures. was
absolutely trustworthy, was draw to
trade. and these attributes were val
liable to man who could neither read
nor combine figures himself. Besides,
his hold upon her father was sufficient
to make her marry him whenever he
wished. So. whatever his determine.
tion in secret. in her presence he quail
ed and waited.
In the cashiers desk was book on
etiquette which bore the marks Of
much study, and with it were several
novels of the old school type. where
the heroines were proudly Indifferent
or sentimentally silly. These books
had nodded the aesthetic side of Big
Hates life, as had her determined at
tendance at night schools.
Suitors Big Kate had had in plenty,
though her home life was in a cellar,
with the perpetual steam Of her moth
er's washtubs and the smoke Of her
fathers pipe sitting the atmosphere
and with the scolding Of the one and
the utter shiftlessness of the other STIR
ring her to early and abnormal activ-
ity. Big Hates beauty was of an I'M
usual and stately type for such en-
vironment. and her very Indifference
made her seem more desirable. To
not one Of the suitors had she shown
kindness. however, and least of all to
Red Pete. the restaurant owner, to
whom it was an open secret that her
father had promised her in return for
unlimited and perpetual whisky. The
girl herself was aware of the promise
and that two years of it had been
paid when she entered upon her duties
at the restaurant.
AS customers came in her eyes gave
them single glance. and if by rare
chance one Of them was of the world
described in the novels her eyes fol-
lowed him down the restaurant to one
of the oilcloth covered tables and
watched him more or less attentively
through the meal. In her secret heart
her aesthetic heart-she had deter
mined to marry hero If she ever mar
ried at all-not back alley fighting
hero, but one of the novel class-a man
who had never smelled soapsuds and
boiling cabbage in all his life and
who had been able to ride in carriages
without thought of expense. A few
such men had come into the restaurant
