several others. Cotton does well
here and is a success almost
every year. Last year there was
more cotton raised in Crosby
county than could be gathered
with the available help. Many
bales were left in the fields be-
cause help could not be obtained

Broom corn was good last year
and brought a good price. II is
also showing up well this year
and the price is going to be even
better than it was last year. 1t
is stated by farmers who have
raised broom corn that il is
almost as sure as milo maize, if
given the proper attention and
cultivated right. There will be
quite a demand for labor on the
farms in Crosby county this year
when these crops are ready to be
gathered.
Millet is turning out to be the
entire satisfaction Of the farmer
and it also is crop that pays
well. IL is always a good price
and can be used on the farm to a
good advantage, and when the
farmer needs a fey dollars he .
can load up a wagon with millet .
and always get a good price. Ii
is never less than $500 per ton
and good money can be realized
out of it at that price.
Ask yourself one question:
Why do people want TO stay in
the east where land is from 500

get Just as good land here for
half the money? Let the people
awake and come to the Plains,

Shown i'm Funny Circus Act.


Shown i'm Funny Circus Act.
The people of the circus are always
looking for new features, and SO
many have been introduced in years
gone by into this particular form of
entertainment, that it would seem in
deed as If ingenuity and originality
had been exhausted.
But the Sells -Floto circus, which
will play a single days engagement
on Thursday, May 80, has on it's
program one number which is es-
sentially novelty. 1t is introduced
primarily as a comedy act, in which
a horse hitched to an ordinary Ian
dau carrying two passengers is driven
into the ring. At first the animal re-
fuses to move, and when urged by
his driver, kicks that individual off
his seat back upon the lady and gem
tleman who are seated in the car
riage.
The animal then kicks himself
clear out Of the harness and after
galloping wildly around the ring sew
eral times winds up by jumping over
the vehicle and its occupants.
The act in itself is what is termed
scream" in the show world, and
further demonstrates the marvellous
possibilities of horse training which
indeed, as the years go by. seem
without limit

COMPULSORY ARBIrRATIoN7

Charles 4. PrOuty of the interstate
commerce commission suggests that
the country should protect itself
against the consequences Of such a
strike as khe railroad engineers threat
IN, and he is likely to meet with 1T
tie opposition to this view. 1t is also
apparent We think that the country
should protect itself against the con-
sequences Of such a coal strike as
threatens in the anthracite district.
The immediate suffering from such
strike as impends IS serious enough.
One hundred and seventy thousand
workmen are thrown out Of employ
ment. at least 100000 women and chill
dren are affected The loss for every
month Of the strike viii be in round
numbers. to miners in the form Of net
profits. TO middlemen and agents, 10
railroads. to coal region merchants
practically $44,OOO.OOO. and indirectly
the financial effect win DE felt e, en-
beyond this. But tins Is not the most
serious effect threatened. Practically
every industry is dependent on coal for
its life. Railroads must have coal to
operate their engines, manufacturers
must secure their power from coal and
all who are dependent on the indus
tries-and in the long run this means
practically everybody-win ultimately
find themselves tied up by any pro-
tracted strike in the mining district.
Consequently the anthracite industry
assumes such important public pro-
portions as to warrant some govern
mental provision to minimize the posi-
bilities of labor difficulties.
In the case Of the railroads Com
missioner Prouty suggests compulsory

open hostility such as developed In the

ago, when the government used its
standing army to break the strike by

pulsory Investigation and full publicity
To all the facts and recommendation
developed would answer the purpose,

Has Wisconsin a Grievance
From the Evening Wisconsin, Milwaukee,


Wisconsins boundaries and their
history Was the subject If an interest
ing discussion at last evenings meet
ing of tht Old Settlers lCub OF Mil

who said that whenever he looked at
the map of the northern peninsula it
made him angry to sec that country
painted in the color of Michigan in %
stead of the color of Wisconsin To
which it belongs by ties Of business
and geographical contiguity. Acting on
this suggestion, President Scheiber as
signed 10 Henry Bleyer, the historian
of the club. the duty or reporting on
the matter at last evenings meeting,
which he did i'm an inter esting paper;
and the paper was followed by infor-
NAL talk.
All the arguments in Wisconsins
early days on the subject OF the boun-
daries We're founded on claims based
upon the language of Article V. of the
Ordinance of 1887, relating to the or
gani2ation Of the Northwest Territory.
That these claims were exceedingly
shadowy must be appreciated by ev
eryrbody who remembers that Wlscon-
sin was the last state erected in this
territory, and by everybody who reads
