to blaze the way to office for any

talk agriculture, to bring about
a general betterment of farm con

organized on a non.political bass

Cheating by Short We light.

work in exposing the frauds that
are being perpetrated on pnr-

great deal OF cheating in t h S

to buy them in life-sustaining

The law against cheating by
short weights and measures is
one which should be rigidly eu-
forced. Furthermore, the public
should be given the names of all
business men found to be persis-
tently resortlng to such lniqui-
rows tricks of the trade. Their
names should be published SO
that purchasers might avoid
them. Errors are honestly made
at times, we know; but as a rule
dealers know whether or not

that the wording will be different

we have been getting out q new
religion and the further we 60 the
closer we seem TO he getting to

than any of the highly educated
gentlemen OF the country can
bring forth. What is needed is
more preaching from this very
excellent old Book; more exposi.

sticking to the text and less of
