We talked with Mr.. Reavis, q farm
er living southwest of Minot twelve
miles, last Saturday and learned that
several farmers in that vicinity will
not get more than half crop. Mr..
Reavis considered that some of the
farmers would get little more crop
than they did last year and placed
the average at about half.
The International Harvester Co., is
paying pretty strict attention to the
crop condition just now, for they have
1850 cars Of machinery and Irvine that
are to be shipped within a few days
and as many more that will be ship

would not cost more to deliver to a shipping point from tine mountain than Ladd's lot. The same conditions exist elsewhere.
 Another reason: Cold storage plants prevent extreme fluctuations of prices of certain commodities with the sea- sons. Let us see if storage plants pre- sos and early 70's cold storage plants did not exist to my knowledge, and there was not a solitary creamery or butter factory in the state of Connec- ticut. In the early 70's I was in the employ of the grocery firm of Balfour Bros. in the Greeneville section of Norwich Inthe flush of the egg sea- son-April, May June-we retailed to II dozen eggs for s1. The eggs were taken in trade; and at that same time you could not buy bag of cornmeal one cent less than s2.10 per hundred at Durfey's grain mill.
 In the winter lined eggs were brought in occasionally in limited quantities and the prices were up in a balloon,' practically prohibitive At the same time the firm was paying the commission house of Forsyth & Batty, Washington Market, New York city, 3S cents per pound wholesale for Orange county, N Y. tub dairy butter, and paying the freight and carriage more per pound wholesale than the very best creamery butter retails for todaq. Now, when eggs drop to from B to 15 cents per dozen-depending on demand and supply-they go into storage to tide over a winter short age.
 Take butter. Suppose the Vermont Creamery company and all other large crean1eries in the country put the product of their factories in the flush season on the market. as fast as made where would the producers Of cream be? There would be glut on the mar ket, and for a season the producers would not get money enough to buy buttons for their cows horns. The same with apples A bumper crop this year: they cannot be put on the market all at once they have to be stored, and all through the apple sec tions of New York state the growers own control a large amount of stor- age space as we'll as dealers and g number of farmers in different Iocali- ties are combining and building 1oca storage plants. Don't this prevent ex- treme f1uetua ations of prices: And alst enable wholesalers to buy and sell tt advantage? And the cost of storage must be added to the commodities stored.
 Another reason: industrial combina. tions. Take labor conditions in New York city and Boston, Mass. Let Brel Nallette ship q couple of crates of live fowl or any other stuff to reputable commission men in either city, an( follow the shipment He may see hi. stuff sold to the huckster without tht commission men touching it.; but ht will face charge of from to 1: cents for carriage, anyhow.

REDUCING EXPENSES TO WORK


 Among the things which increase the cost Of living is high taxes which make higher rentals. 1t was shown at the recent session Of the Interna- tionsl Municipal congress. held in New York. that the present system of taxa ton compels the dwellers in tenements 10 pay much more approximately for rent than do people better off.
 Vancouver, E. C-, fifteen years ago, decided 10 exempt from taxation fifty per cent of the value of their build ings- Later. it went further and ex- empted seventy-five per cent. of the value and this succeeded so well that today the improvements are not taxed at all.
 This means that city lot or a block pays as much in taxation to the mu- nicipality whether it is occupied by a series of tumbledown shacks or whether it is the site Of a tall and busy office building Naturally, the tenden- cy of land owners. under this system is 10 improve their land with the high est quality of improvements and there has been little or no holding of un- improved property. waiting for a rise in value consequent on the enterprise of neighbors.
 The system of taxation which takes notice Of all improvements and stead fly taxes thrift is surely putting d premium upon the negligence and slouchiness which gives community a general Tun-down-at-the-h heel ap- pearance.
 There is going to be a system of taxation which carries with it encour- sgement. not depression. At Vancou- yer the land tax system appears to be working we'll

MAINE OFFICIALLY MIsREPRE
 SENTED,

It is not strange that Maine should be jealous enough of her good name to feel little annoyed to have her democratic secretary of state repre- senting her at brewers congress at Chicago. The Portland Express. commenting upon the matter. says:
 The programme of the convention of the United States Brewers associa- ton, which is to be held in Chicago, opening this week, announces as one of the speakers at that convention, Cyrus w Davis. Maines secretary of state How do the people of Maine like to be officially represented at the United States Brewers association convention? MT Davis, as an indi- vidual has. of course, a perfect right to participate in the proceedings of this or any other convention in which he pleases to take part. As the secre- tare of state, he is representing tn people of the state of Maine, mora than half of whom have so recently repudiated this very association before which he is advertised to appear
 It IS more than likely that MT. Davis will claim he was present in his per- sonal capacity, not as a state official although his confreres apparently feel proud of the honor the state has con- ferred upon him.

BOTH MONARCHS.

Andrew Carnegie does not appear to have become conscious that man cannot be ioyal to two nations-that it is well to be true to one.
 As natuFalized American he does not look well taking the oath of allegi- snce to King George at St. Albans in England. and it is an open question if it should not annul his citizenship on this side of the water.
 His action is not consistently de- fensible; hence. il is not strange that he does not find himself able to make his position understood even to his American friends. who are surprised that he should have voluntarily dis honored his position as an American sovereign
 Mr. Carnegie remarks iocosely. "The king and I are both monarchs in our own countries"
 To this a contemporary says: We will admit that the old ironmaster is a monarch over here, but why one monarch should go across to another rnonarchs domains and swear to be- come that others vasssl is really pug ziing. The only reasona ble theory is that the oath was taken fin a Pick xickian sense.r

0--The Jews caused Jesus to be erucified, and as people have not since accepted him as Christ. Does this mean that all Jews are eternaIly
 lose?
 Answer.-No, the Lord has yet many laNors in reservation for the Jews. The Apostle Peter declared that Jesus to be put to death The Jews were cast off from Gods favor be- cause of their rejection of Jesus as the Christ. Jesus at the time declared unto them. "Ye shall not see Me nenceforth til ye. shall say. blessed is he that corneth in the name of the Lord. (Matthew xxiii, 39.) The clear inference here is that at some future time the Jews would recognize Jesus as the Messiah. The Apostle Paul tRomans Ri, 25) wrote ,that the Jews were blinded to the truth concerning Jesus, and that blindness happened unto them until the fitness of the Gentiles be come in" declaring that when the Gentle times Were fin ished then all Israel shall be saved from such blindness at which time the great Deliverer, The Christ, shall turn away ungodiness from that Deo- pie. All the Prophets testify concern ing the restora tion of Israel We can therefore confidently expect that the Jews will some time in the future be restored to their own land come into complete possession and control of Palestine and accept Jesus as the great Messiah. and receive the blessing that the Lord has in store for them.

WHAT MAKES WATERBURY AT
 TRACTIVE

In reviewing the Improved condi i- tions at Waterbury, The American says:
 "A pleasant and flattering distinc- ton is coming to Waterbury-ge general recognition as convention city. This, of course, is largely due to the fact that The Elton is so excellent a hotel. It is still further due to the fact that our various facilities of ingress and egress have been greatly improved of recent years. It is most of all dlIa to the fact that Waterbury is hos pitable city, with cordial reception for the stranger and guest within it's gates. Waterbury i< indeed honored by the three conventions which open here tonight (Monday), conventions representing bodies that in their diff ferent ways are doing their part of the worlds best work Whether it be to the Baptists, or to the members eff the grand encampment, l.

F.. or to the members of the grand lodge, K of P a hearty Waterbury welcome is extended, and the sincere hope of a meeting so pleasant and pro 1ta ble tEat Waterbury will be again selected ia the near future for the s9ate sH:aeTing.

LETTERS I'D THE EDITOR
MT. Ayers Rejoinder.

Editor Bulletin: In Fridays Bulletin, tOct. 13 Gf superstitious note the day and date). MT. Vauette calls attention to an error in his Bible reference of Sept 26. all of which I have read and hope to profit thereby.
 "Brer" Vallette says l am jumping from the frying pan into the fire when I quote the congressional committees report high cost of living. and then he mentally scars into the wilds of Illinois, and lands the same as Mayor Thayer did when "TIo-e -eing' for the senate in Lorimer's back yard.
 MT. Vallette says there is no depend ence to be placed on the report of the committee who were appointed by congress to investigate the cause of the high cost of living. Will MT. Val lette state what we shall depend on.
 Now this committee that was ap- pointed by congress was without doubt composed of intelligent and educated men, who must have ranked high in the estimation of the majority of the voters in the several communities rom which they were elected to congress, and as rule must have been men above reproach, or they never would have been nominated and elected to congress. As a committee, they had unlimited power to subpoena witness es-the aid of the supreme court-in
 
 tional government at their command, and yet no dependence must be put on their decisions. Let us see, the re port says: Increased cost of production of farm products by reason of higher values and wages-a few years ago farm wages ranged from $10 to SIS per month and board Now farm help is difficult to secure at from S25 to $30 and even higher, board included, and farmers all shouting they cannot get help at that. Where have the men gone to? The shops and mills. Shifted from food producing to food consum ing occupations and localities. The next finding was reduced fertility of land or increased expenditures for fer tilization. If not so, why all these thousands of tons of commercial fer tilzers sold and used in the state of Connecticut and elsewhere. Don't fer tilizers add to the cost of a crop ? Then, increased banking facilities in agricultural localities enabling farm CTS to hold their crops and market to better advantage.
 Now, all through the wheat growing country if the price at threshing time is not satisfactory to the wheat grower and not wishing to sell and wanting money to use. he borroWS money on his wheat from the factor, and holds his grain for a higher price. Don't that steady prices and also tend to advance prices? What would be the ef- feet on wheat prices if every bushel was. thrown on the market at thresh- ing time? There would be wheat to burn for a while: then reduced supply, convenient to transportation facilities of such commodities as lumber. I will leave it to Brer Nallette's versatile mind, if there is not a reduced SUD- ply of timber on Ayers mountain and in John T. Ladd's wood lot, and if it

 As to higher standard of living, we all know that to prevent our diaphragm from growing on to our backbone it is pleasanter to eat straw berries in December, green corn, peas. etc., in February and March, cucum- bers and tomatoes all through the win ter, than mush, skim milk and crack CTS.

 Now the public ownership of all money which Mir. Vallette insists is the ..cure al1'' for high cost of living. is an mpossibility-never can be done. You have to reduce the demand for the luxuries and necessities of living. The way must be heroic but quick-a way that would make prices tumble with a thud that would make the peo- pie sit up and take notice: and the way Brer ValIette is to shut off the demand, by going naked-eat grass in summer, and snowballs in winter.
