The trustees of Northfield seminary
and Mount Hermon school held meetings
recently to hear the reports Of their
treasurers and 1t was found that the
amount received for the year ending July
81, was S97,500 A year ago the schools
faced deficit in running expenses and an
appeal to the public was made. AS a re-
suit of this appeal 1t was found possible
to somewhat decrease the Indebtedness,
while fully meeting the current expenses
Of both institutions, without raising the
tuition to students. The appeal was for
100000 and the management OF the
schools Is deeply grateful for the SPLEEN
did response, which resulted in raising
$97, 500.

FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine That Does Not Cost Anything
Unless It Cures.


The active medicinal ingredients of
ReXan Orderlies, which are odorless,
tasteless and colorless, is an entirely new
discovery. Combined with other extreme
ly valuable ingredients, 1t forms a per-
feet bowel regulator, intestinal invigo-
rator and strengthened. ReXall Orderlies
are eaten like candy and are notable for
their agreeableness to the palate and gen.
tleness Of action. They do not cause
gripping or any disagreeable effect or in
convenience.
Unlike other preparations for a like
purpose, they do not create a habit, but
instead they overcome the cause of habit
acquired through the use of ordinary lax
atives cathartics and harsh physic, and
permanently remove the cause OF consti-
patton or irregular bowel action.

Better Agricultural Methods.

A lot of nonsense is being talk
ed and writ n by the Republican
newspapers about "better agri-
cultural methods. D." Self interest
o. course, prompts every farmer
to do everything that he can to
get the best crops possible, and
no incentive is stronger than self
interest. There are many things
that farmers would like to do
that events prevent them from
doing, and there are things which
they do that they wish they had
left Gndone. 1t is so with every
business and with everyone. If
the hay had not been cut this
morning the rain would not have
spoiled it, but who is wise enough
to tell what the Tickle weather
will be7 If it had not rained for
weeks in the spring the cotton
and the corn would not have
been so weedy, it would have beer
possible to have worked it IN
season instead of having to wait
until other crops needed atten-
ton. If it had not been for the
drought the crops would have
been better, but the farmer Is moi

When the people get sick of Re

rule. some smart Aleck blameS ii
on the farmers, and "the organs
begin to pipe in the same tune
and demand "better agricultural
methods. "
When Insurgents inSurge, the
same Organs" blame it on the
farmers and insist that they have
prOspered through Republican leg
islatiOn, although they admit the
tariff should have been more
scientific -

Agricultural Department experts
advise the farmers how to i'm
prove their soil and stock, but Il
their advice were followed the
farmers would need tn treasury
Of the United States to draw up
on and then require an urgent
deficiency appropriation, as the
experts often do, to make both
ends meet.
If the farmers critics would
try their hand at farming, with
the present lack of labor and not
very efficient at that. they would
not carp so much. 1t is dollars
to dOughnuts they would admit
failure, blame it on the land or
the weather, and then resume the
cid occupation Of scribbling on
what they don't know about the
farm.
The Agricultural Department
has just discovered that the farm
ers ought to raise more potatoes
to the acre, and has sent experts
to Europe to find out how to do
it. What they will learn will be
that the climate there is better
than here for that sort of crop,
and any Pennsylvania Dutchman
could have told them so much and
| it would not have cost them a
dollar, when they will spend thou
sands.
Other countries are sending ex-
pertS here to discover how we
grow cotton, and why it can't be
grown as well or better in Asia,
or Africa or South America. It
is probably a question Of climate,
for the darkey and the old mule
can surely be duplicated in some
fashion and there is no great sec
ret in their meanderingS.
If you have tried farming you
will know that it is no picnic and
that through Republican policies
all that you have to buy is at
trust prices, and for all that you
have to sell you must take what
some combine will pay. Yes, it
is not all fun being a farmer, nor
do they all ride in automobiles,
though the Republican metrOpoli-
tan organs and the funny supple
msnts would try and make us be-
lieve that the farmers are bigger
fools than are other mortals.

Live Stock Letter.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 8.
Last week was satisfactory to
the selling side in the cattle mar
ket, the general market making
Ii net gain of 10 to 10 cents after
a bad start on Monday. Demand
was strong from all the killers,
who filled big orders, though pro-
testing that stocks of dressed
beef are heavy. The run today
is $4,000 head, moderate for a
Monday in September, but held
down somewhat by the fact that
today is the Labor Day holiday.
Most Of the cattle bought on Mon
day by the packers are killed on
Tuesday, anyway, so the Labor
Day adverse influence on prices
is mostly fiction.
Trade is fairly active today,
and prices are steady to ashade
lower, mostly steady. The bad
feature today is a heavy run at
Chicago, and lower prices there.
The stocker and feeder trade is
developing fast, OutgO to the
country last week nearly one
third of total receipts of cattle
here, and the percentage taken
to the country for the next six
weeks will run nearly 40 per cent
of the total receipts here in that
time, according to the present out
look. Rains lately have further
helped late corn, though it will
need some hot days yet before ii
can stand a frost. Prime native
fed steers are few and far be-
tween, tops here lately at $500
for loads, odd head at 10 to 25C
higher. Greenwood county grass
and corn steers sold up to $7.45
last week, as good as any time
this season, and straight grass
steers bring $4.G5 to 1915, grass
cows s2.75 to $3.50, corn and
grass heifers 1925, choice fed
heifers up to 81. Both cows and
calves are falling behind other
years supply, and prices are cor
respOndingly' firm for them. The
best veals bring IS. Stock steers
are so cents lower than a few
weeks ago at SO to $4.75, feed
ers holding firm at $4.25 to 1928,
The hog market advanced 9Sc
net last week, which makes a
total of $1.25 per hundred, on
an average, in the last four weeks
Heavies have gained more than
that, and lights less. Runs are
so light that packers have no
time to fight the market, but
have to scramble to get a decent

proportion of their orders filled,
wild predictions are being made
as to the September market and
some go so far as to say that top
prices last spring will again be
reached. At present the market
is as. high as at any time since
last April. Run is $4,000 today,
market 5 to Is higher. Lights
at $3.50 to II, medium weights,
$3.50 to 10, heavies 1896 to 50.

Council Meeting.

The city council held a long
and. interesting session Monday
evening. The regular routine
business was transacted. Tn pc
tltiOn of DR.. Kendall and others
asking for light to be placed |
! the intersection of Washing
ton and 18th streets was receiv- !
ed and referred to the Water &
Light Committee. The petition
OF Sam Kellam and others ask
ing for lights to be placed on
E. Frey street at its intersection
with 18th, Lakin and Park receiv-
ed the same treatment. The Pc
titiOn Of the property owners in
Block 1874 protesting against the
. laying of sewer pipes in said
block was laid over as the block
is not included in the sewer dis
trlct. The matter OF walks on
10th street was referred to the
Improvement cOmmitte, as was
also the matter Of street crossings
at 18th and other streets. The
Improvement committee was Ord1
ed to advertise for bids for fifty
crossings. A new ordinance to
govern the speed of autos and
.mOtOr cycles was ordered drawn,
to conform to the state laws.
Those contractors who have had
eurbS and cutters that were out
OF repair, were ordered to get
busy on the same and have them
fixed, as the ordinance provides.
There has been a great deal of
complaint from residents of 10th
street that their property would
be greatly damaged if the plan
Of putting the south side drain
age ditch on 10th was carried out,
as 10th is higher than the streets
for several blocks on either side.
The ditch at present is built on
10th from the east part Of town
to Stone street, and a resolution
was passed by the council asking
the city eSgineer to make an eS-
climate Of the cost and feasibility
of running the Mitch north along
Stone to 18th street and thence
west. Report will be made at the
next meeting and if the plan is
advisable and will not cost more
than to continue on 10th, will
probably be adopted. The cost
Of both plans will be considered.
