With these few changes the

Some years ago we made men,
ton of the Miracle wheat dis
covery in Virginia, which origin
ated with the fruitage of one
grain found growing by itself.
Two grains of this wheat were
given to the editor, who, in turn,
handed them to a brother in the
truth, who reported that the two
grains produced 1872, which,
planted, produced five pounds
one grain having fifty stools OF
we'll developed stalks or straws.
The brother planted the Miracle
wheat alongside of some ordin-
airy wheat, and reports that the
Miracle wheat heads are from
three to five inches long and
from three to five grains to the
mesh, whereas with the common
wheat the heads are from two to
three inches in length, The
Watch Tower, 1910.

A Mean Day.

Last Saturday was one of the
meanest days ever experienced in
this section of country. What
with the heat, wind and dust
life was hardly worth while.
But along in the afternoon the
weather changed, and there was
a drop of about forty degrees in
a few hours. The south wind
was displaced by a keen one from
the northwest, the dust was laid
by a heavy rain which changed
to snow. But that was prefera-
BILE to the heat, wind and dust.

On the Run.

The mayor of Indianapolis has
high cost of living on the run.
When the price of potatoes got
away up in the clouds he pre-
vailed on his city council to make
an appropriation to buy potatoes
with, the tubers to be sold to the
poor people of the city at first
cost, plus the cost of shipping
and handling. The scheme was
a great success, and the cost OF
potatoes took a big drop in In
dianapolis.
While walking down the street
in Indianapolis a few days ago
the mayor noticed pears marked
five cents eace. He got mad
mad all over, too, and at once
got busy and connected himself
with big fruit ranch out west
and the result is now that pears
are selling in Indianapolis at IS
cents a peck.
He is now after the saloons Of
the city, and says he is going to
make them serve a bigger and
better free lunch if they expect
to stay open until midnight.

Miracle Wheat.

Mr.. Editor: In answer to the
article printed in your paper
Oct. %, under the heading OF
Miracle Wheat, sold by church,
that the Washington Herald and
Record-Herald are mistaken in
what they said about it. The
claim for the wheat is that 1t
produces from 10 to IS times as
much as other wheat proportion
ately to the amount sown' (not
per acre., and should be sown
one-fourth as thick as other
wheat.
The Watch Tower Bible and
Tract Society, is kept up by
those who wish to donate. The
society sends out tons of litera'
ture free. ]. A. Bonnet raised
the wheat on his farm, and sold
the wheat, and donated the pro-
ceeds to the society.
To show where Miracle wheat
originated l am sending you
some clippings. 1 will say, how
ever, that you did we'll in print
ing the article for if it had been
a swindle your subscribers would
have been warned, but since it is
not, your paper is always opened
to one who has been wronged.

We move that the city officials
be commended for the good street
work that is being done. We
mean the crawling of the streets
close in. When these streets
shall have been put in good con-
dition it will then be possible to
extend the work, and in a few
years the streets farther out can
be similarly treated. And moth
ing makes so good a street as
river gravel. Baxter Springs is
one of the most fortunate cities
in the country, in that it has an
unlimited amount of such gravel,
and 'twould be foolish TO not use
it. Let the good work go on, al
ways remembering that what
ever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well.

Most likely it is surprise to a
majority of the people that the
majority in California for the
recall was bigger than for the
initiative and referendum. For
both amendments the majority
was overwhelming, but that for
the recall was several thousand
the greater. The verdict proba-
ably means that the people Of
California are dissatisfied with
some court decisions in their
own state and elsewhere, a con-
viction that the judiciary, as
we'll as other officials, is not i'm
maculate, and that the best cor
receive for judicial and other
shortcomings lies in the power of
the people to bring the offenders

More Pension.

We hope the next session OF
Congress will pass laws giving
more liberal pensions to the old
soldiers. If the government in
tends ever to make the last days
of the old fellows a little more
pleasant, it is about time it was
done. The average age of the
old soldier is aboutseventy years
and he has not much longer to
stay on earth. Surely he has
done enough for his country to
be allowed to spend his last few
days comparatively free from
worry. And twelve dollars per
month, in this day and age, is
not enough. BY the time house
rent is paid, the clothing and
grocery bills paid, fuel bills sat-
isfied, and the doctors charges
squared, there is not much left.
