TWO HEAD ITEMS.

July 23rd, for West, Texas, to at
tend the annual convention of
the Bohemian and Moravian
Brethren, Which was held July
9Th and 9Th. This convention
proved to be the greatest ever
held by this church. There were
several hundred visitors present
and delegates from many church.
es over the state.
The first day of the convention
was devoted to the Sunday School
Union and to the Mutual Aid
Society.
On the second day there were
two candidates ordained for the
ministry, Joseph Barton and
Joseph Hegar, who have recently
graduated from Eden Theological
Seminary of st. Louis. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Fl.
Juren, President of the Union;
Rev. Adj .Phlumsky, Rev. B.
Kubritht' Rev. G. Wolff, official
representative of the Evangelical
Synod Of North America, which
has opened it's school to the
Union, and Rev. S. d. Press Of
st. Louis:
The church was beautifully
decorated with ferns and cut
flowers. A large tent was spread
in the yard, under which three
long tables were set with good
things to eat and ice lemonade to
drink.
Granger was selected as the
next place of meeting in July
1911.
The following were fro m
Sinner: Mr.. and MRS Joseph
Elsik and son Louis, Mr.. Tom
Laza and Misses Vera Elsik and
Fannie Nedbalek.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elsik and Miss
Vera Elsik left for Caldwell to
visit relatives while the writer
remained to visit with friends
Earound West, Abbott and Leroy
West is a lively town, some
what larger in size than Sinner,
on the NJ. K. & II. railroad,
eighteen miles above Waco. The
population is comprised mostly
of Americans aud Bohemians
The land is very fertile. Fruit
trees are doing well. l saw some
of the incest peach and pear
trees bending down with fine
fruit.
On July 18th | left Leroy and
went to Marlin for a little recrea'
ton, where I remained three
weeks. For the first few. days
was rather homesicls, but the
next week Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz
Remmers of Sinner came in and
of course we often talked about
Shiner-it made us feel so good
but we missed our nice, fresf
well water,oh. so much.
In M$rlin one can see all kinds
of people and it is quite interest
ing to watch the big crowd al
the well.
One afternoon, five days before
ELECTION day, while passing by
tie court house a crowd of mel
and women attracted our atten
ton and we joined in and heart
one of the candidates speak. 1
was a solid strsam of talk. Thi.

JONES IS DEFIANT.
Doesn't Care What differences Are
Drawn From His Testimony.

Washington, Feb. 25-The Ballinger-
Pinchot inquiry tok an unexpected turn
today when Special Agent Horace T.
Jones, of the land office, took the stand
for the prosecution" and made a sem
sational attack on James M. Sheridan,
who was sent by the land office to
Seattle last year to take charge of this
case in the hearings of the Cunningham
coal claims in Alaska. Jones declared
that Sheridan had been graduated in
law only a year or two; that his con-
duct Of the case was incompetent and
that he had opposed to him two of the
leading lawyers of Seattle.
Testifying for an hour or more as TO
Sheridan's conduct of the case and Civ
ing instances from which he wished the
committee to- draw it's own conclusion,
Jones said he did not desire to criticise
Sheridan in any way.
He said Louis r. CLAWS was not a
lawyer but knew more law than Sheri-
dan did, and he thought it was a reflec-
ton on CLAWS for the land office to
send Sheridan out there to take charge
of a case which CLAWS had worked UP.
Under cross examination Jones ap-
peared defiant and aggressive to mem
bers of the commission and counsel
alike and said he did not care what in
ferences were drawn from his -testi-
mony.
Jones was still under cross examina-
ton when luncheon recess was taken
and it appeared that Clifford Pinchot
would not be reached as a witness until
late in the afternoon.

The Speaker Is Declared to Be
the Issue
By the Progressive Republicans
of South Dakota.
THEY COMMEND TAFT
For His Expressions of Loyalty
to Roosevelt Policies.
Support No Candidate Who Does
Not Endorse Platform.

Huron, S. D., Feb. 25.-After a
gruelling battle of four hours peace
settled over The conference over the
progressive wing of the Republican
party of South Dakota at midnight
and r. o. Richards of Huron was
made chairman of the campaign COM
mittee for the coming primary in June
and Governor Vessey will be the Re-
publican party leader on a platform
which is the embodiment of the ideas
of the leaders of both the Richards
fact1on and the faction led by E. L.
Sem, which opposed Richards.
The platform says in part:
we commend President Taft for his
Roosevelt principles of progressive
Republ1canism and pledge his admin
lstrat1on the support of the progressive
republicans IF South Dakota in it's
efrorts to obtain the enactment of leg
1slation embouyine those principles.
''The dominating issue in the coming
campaign is the wrestling of control of
national legislation from special inter
ests entrenched behind Speaker Can
non of the house and Leader Aldrich
OF the senate and their supporters. 1t
is not sufficient that Speaker Cannon
be retired. 1t is essential that sue
ceSsor be elected who is committed to
and is a supporter of progressive
principles Inc progressive Republl-
cans of South Dakota will not support
a candidate for the primary who does
not stand une quivocally on this plat
forn:''

SHORT WEIGHT SACKS.
KIeinhans Files Charges Against the
Kempter Milling Company.

Leavenwortk, Kan, Feb. 25.-A
complaint was filed against the Kemp
ter Mill & Elevator company of Tonga
noxie in the city court by John Klein
hans, state food inspector, alleging
that the mill was selling sacks of flour
under weight.
The complaint charges that sacks
labeled forty-eight pounds weighed
only fourty-seven pounds and four
ounces, a shortage of three-fourths of
a pound. The inspector weighed fifty
sacks, or more. at the mill and notified
County Attorney Bond of the results of
his weighing yesterday and had him
make out the complaint.
''Three-four.hs of a pound is quite a
shortage" said Mr.. Kleinhans yester-
day. "Take a mill with a capacity of
1000 barrels a day and by cutting off
half a pound to the sack it can save
1000 pounds, or in money $3.50 day.
OF course, the saving of the Kempter
Mill & Elevator company was not that
big.
1.-THE prosecution of mills that are
putting out short weight sacks not only
protects the consumer. but also the
mills that are selling honest weight
sacks. If one mill is putting out full
weight sacks Ind another short weight
sacks competition would be ruinous to
the first -

THEY CAN'T AGREE.
Joint Convention of Miners and Oper-
ators AdjOurns.

Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. 25.-At a
joint convention of the coal miners
and operators and mine owners of
the southwest here today the confer
ence appointed to consider the wage
scale for the next two years reported
inability to reach an agreement. The
committee was discharged and the
joint convention adjourned.
1t is said that an amicable adjust
ment of the controversy is possible
at a subsequent joint convention.
The present wage scale expires April
LIST.
The conference committee had been
in session since Tuesday. The repre-
sentatives of the miners insisted that
the new wage scale should include
an increase of 10 cents a ton and a
proportionate increase in the wages
of miners paid by the day. but the
representatives of the operators re-
fused to make this concession which
was demanded by the United Mine
Workers of America at their recent
convention The miners will continue
to consider routine matters today
and tomorrow.

RETAILERS AID CAUSE.
Wholesalers Not Sole Members of
"Boost Price Club.''

1t is a difficult matter to trace the
causes for the exorbitant prices asked
for food stuffs. and various are the
parties who have been accused Of be-
ing responsible for the condition of
affairs.
According to the advertisements,
Iowa rural potatoes are selling for rs
cents per bushel, special. This is a
special price.
The commission men have time
after time been accused of forcing
high prices upon the public. but the
following letter from Frank Cope of
Cope and company would make it ap-
pear as though the retail men are
sometimes to blame:
1--WE have Just clipped from the cur
rent issue of your paper the attached
advertisement. To this we are giving
you copy of our offer to the grocery
today-the same price which we made
them last week on Northern Burbank
potatoes. We are offering to sell to
them at so cents per bushel.
1T seems to us that SO per cent on
as staple a product as potatoes is
unreasonable and this kind of profits
on the part of the grocers are the oc-
casion of such high prices. Men in
our business have been censured time
and time again through the columns
of your paper for unreasonable profits.
Why do you permit this kind of adver-
tising in your daily?
1--WE think it is time to call halt on
SO per cent profit in a retail way
