A Lack of Unity.

We are all working for a COM
mon cause and each wants to do
his part toward the upbuilding of
the country and our little city,
yet we are working at cross pur-
poses 10 some extent. One man
says theother fellow is not doing
the right thing, although he is
given credit for being sincere in
his efforts. Wouldn't it be bet
ter to all get together and dis
cuss matters and see if we can't
settle on some plan of action that
will meet general approval?
That's about the only way to ac-
complish anything worth while.
The Times Herald would be in an
awful fix if it followed the advise
of all those who suggest for there
is a great difference of opinion.
Isn't 1t possible that the business
interests of Burns can be more a
unit on matters for the public
good? Think this over and see
if we are not just a little selfish
and not giving our neighbor cred
it for what he is doing. Talk it
over with him and then some
others.
The matter of sewerage and
water, for instance, is a good
subject to discuss; the weeds that
are so unsightly and which are
going to cause us trouble is an
other; the general condition of
the country with the prospects
of great change when the rail-
roads come and our oil prospects
are no longer prospects but reali-
ties. There are many things in
common that should be given at
tention.

Newspapers Good Work

Of their community or town as
the newspapers, we are sure a
more congenial state of affairs
would result, and what a splen-

would witness.
But they are not. Nor is any
considerable part Of the people.
Nor are all the business men or
the farmers and ranchers. That
town succeeds just in proper
tion TO the zeal with which its
leading citizens back up the
patriotism Of its newspapers.
The true newspaper devotes
columns and pages Of space to
boosting the city in which it is
published. The most loyal and
DEVOTED boosters OF any city are
found in its newspaper Offices.
There is sneering class of peo-
pie in every city who, finding no
good in anything, decry the
newspapers as mongers Of sensa-
ton and destroyers of character.
They demand the news, and
the newspaper that is a faithful
mirror holds up to its readers the
reflection Of their own doings.

New System!
New Goods!
Low Prices!

Having cut out the long credit
system, we are prepared to give
prices which will pay you to buy at
home. Remember, when you buy
at home you create a market for
what you have to sell, no matter
what it consists of, whether it be
farm products, labor or legal ad-
wise, you don't help your own COM
munity, when you go outside to
trade; you don't help the farmers
when you buy outside flour. Last
year many people sent away and
went outside to trade. What is the
result? The wheels of industry
have been idle, no building, no bus
mess, no work, no market. Heavy
crops are being harvested and still
a large portion of the old crop is
on hand. 1t is now time for the
people to get together if they want
prosperity at home. Trade at our
place if you can; if not trade with
our competitor; but Trade at Home

1t has been frequently stated by

when this: formerly useless iegisla-

to be cut out, and as before stated,
the republican president of the United

The article from the st. Cloud
Press, as referred to is very mislead-,
4 ing, in fact it goes SO far as to say,
that it would pay the farmers on the
American side, near the boundary
line to ship their wheat to, and sell
it in Winnipeg. It states that on a:
certain date, the price of cash wheat.
at Winnipeg and at st. Cloud was the
same, namely 99c for No. / Northern.
This may be so, if we had known the
date we should have. compared the
al: annapolis price with that of Win
/ n. Deg. "a. : $50. =, ,.,.,... /. E, s5.s
~ There is a large Touring mill at
St Cloud, and the wheat crop of 1911
tributary to it was very light, SO it
would not be surprising if they had
to bid up well in order to get wheat
to keep their mill going, but here it is
where the writer desires to enlight-
en- the editor of the St. Cloud Journal
Press. z.
Winnipeg grain quotations have as
q matter Of fact nothing to do, with
Winnipeg, but the exchange is there,
and ali grain passing through there
is inspected by what is called govern
!. ment inspectors. Winnipeg is a way
station, not terminal, all future
grain market quotations for Winni-
peg are deliverable lat Port Arthur
or Fort William. Cash grain sales
quoted at Winnipeg, means sales
made Of grain in store at Port Ar
thur and Fort William. The distance
from Winnipeg to Port Arthur is 434
miles and the price per 100 lbs. for
carrying wheat by rail is 10 cents,
that means &c per bushel on wheat,
80 in order to get at what the price of
wheat would have been at, Winnipeg
on the day referred to- by the st.
Cloud Journal Press we should have
to deduct &c per bushel. So .conse.
quently the price at Winnipeg, IL there
were any actual sales and purchases
there, would have been SO cents, and
this would not have at all been out OF
place when we take into considera.
ton that wheat of the same grade
Winnipeg quotation, is worth three
cents more than Minneapolis.
The writer simply makes use OF
Winnipeg in answering the falsity Of
the st. Cloud Journal Press; other
wise it has absolutely nothing to DE-
with grain prices as heretofore stated
