THE MARCH OF CIVILIZATION

The following sketch in Life was
written for New York. but with some
modihca ton, and not too much. it will
fit a great many smaller cities:
Once upon a time there was a young
man whose youth had been passed in
the country.
In the course of his development
from Infant Feeding to Straw Rides he
came to know the Country Girl
At regular intervals he would take
one of these bucolic creatures TO a
stra berry festival, a strolling circus
or the amateur theatricals in the town
hall. And the cost thereof never ex-
ceeded one fifty
At certain seasons he presented her
with a box of candy or Russian
leather autograph album. and there
would be an occasional buggy ride.
The cost of all these things was what
is known as purely nominal"
Now this young man was afflicted
with brains and in due time he trans
planted himself TO the city. where he
became quite busy in making a grand
success
And when he had made more or less
certain of this elusive product, he
frightened up a little and concluded that
it was time for him 10 know also the
City Girl
He therefore became acquainted with
lures
One day. when the weather bureau
had reported fair and warmer" and

So he invited her to the opera. the

that he must send her flowers. One

Sugar is quoted by the local mer-

from $3.50 to 50 per sack within the
last two weeks, aud there is no pros
pect of a reduction in the price, ac-

kane dealer. in speaking on the sub
ject, said:
4 can state from good authority
that sugar will soar to $40 per hum
dredweight on the local market be-
fore very long. The rapid advance in
the price is due TO the shortage in
the European crop. and it will affect
the entire country. At the present

Land TOO CHEAP
SAYS JACKSON
II. j. jackson, Former Pullman Drug.

vanced to $500 Per Acre.

IL. j. Jackson, for many years pro-
prietor of the drug store now owned
by G. II. Watt, is in Pullman this
week. MIR. Jackson owns 500 acres
of land near Wawawai and comes up
every fall to receive and sell his
share of the crop. He is now located
at Portland and engaged in the real
estate business.
Land is too cheap in this part of
the country" said Mr.. Jackson Il
know of no other section where land
can be bought as cheaply as here,
when one considers the producing
qualities of the soil This land will
pay good interest on much more
than 1t is held at now. think 1t
would be good thing for the coun-
try if the price of farm land were
advanced to $120 or more per acre.
These big land owners could not get
sufficient interest on that price to
pay them to keep the land and rent
it. and they would cut up their farms
and sell them To men of moderate
means, who would make their homes
on the land and make good living
by farming it and raising stock A
renter cannot raise livestock in con-
nection with his farming, for the
land owner will not allow this. unless
he is getting a cash rent 1t will he
a good thing for the country when
the farms are cut up and are owned
by the men who cultivate them.
