Three Bill Martins.

1t is not often that three people of
the same name get together in Nc
Minnville, but Wednesday night at
Logan & Maloney's Barber shop this
actually happened. Bill Martin, of
Wadams & Co., was waiting for a
shave and talking when in stepped
Billie Martin, our local dog trainer. At
ter shaking hands the two Martins
with the same handles talked for a
few minutes over times when the
doings of one had been laid against
the other. They related many anus
ing occurrences. Now the third one
showed up, Billie Martin, Jr., son of
Billie Martin and no relation to Billie

JOHN BREIDENYHAL DEAD.

John Breidenthal, at one time q
much talked of man, prominent
politician and great reform agitat0r,
died at his home ia Kansas City,
Kansas, early Saturday morning,
from blood poison, resulting from q
slight ebrasion mad while trimming
a corn. All Efforts made to check
the infection proved unavsiling.
Mr.. Breidenthai was at one time
qaite prominent in Kansas politics.
Daring the Populist agitation he
was leader in their ranks. He
became state bank missioner,
which place he filed with credit to
himself and satisfa cton to the
people. He ran for governor cf
the state but was defeated by
Stanley.
He was an honest, earnest man,
sincerely in favor of bctterments
for the people, and the curbing of

1t is the wage Gamer, the salaried

towns and cities that are being hit
the hardest. The dollar and half

years ago will not buy near as much

equivalent to big reduction in his

celyes $50 per month salary is
receiving as ar 80 per cent less
purchasing power than ne formerly
did at the same wages. Such con-
dltions cannot long stand.
There will come an adjustment
Salaries must be raised
or price of living commodities
reduued.
The Globe, Democrat of St. Louis
has had this matter carefully in
vestigated, and last Sunday gave its
readers the results of the investiga-
ton.
In many instances it gives the
old law of supply and demand as
the ruling factor in prices.
In the case of pork, according to
the Globe, last November and
December the packers slaughtered
o, 49o, 900 hogs. For the two cor
months of the year
before there were slaughtered
5 .e7o, 900. That is a decrease of
I, 800, 900 hsgs. Hogs don't come
on the market fast enough TO supply
the demand of the packers. They
are not in the country and the
packers know it, hence their
scramble for those that are marketed
add constant tendency upward in
price.
They fad general shortage in
all the products of the farm, or.
rather an increased demand from
growing demand from increased
and consuming ability
and not an adequate increase in
production. Thousands of farmers
are leaving their farms and locating
in ths cities, thereby curtailing
production. The economy of things
has got little out of balance.
More young men will find it to
their interest to TAXA up farm work.
From the situation as diagnosed
by the Globe there must be several
years Of high priced farm products
and great prosperity among the
farmers before there can be q
material lowering of prices from the
cause of over production, if ouI
sta esmen will but manage national
affairs so the laboriBg man is kept
employed.
When the prices of farm products
fall below price at which they
can be produced at a Prost, then is
the time for the farmer to seek other
pursuits.
There can be no doubt but the
Globe is right in i,s deductions
about the shortage of farm products
being one Of the many causes lead
ing to the high price of products
and it will take yesrs for this pro-
duction to be brought up to the
demands, and then the demands
will have SO Increased that a greater
production still will be required.
Truly the farmer has a series of
bright years before him and he
should not fear to increase the
production of stock to the very
limit of bis feed producing ability.
The trusts about which We loye
10 declsim cut but little figure
in the retail price of the leading
articles we buy. The wholesale
men complain that when they are
compelled to advance wholesale
prIces a fraction sf a cent the
retailers are won't to make their
small advance an excuse for several
cents extra on ths retail price.
