days, would have offered eight bits
for the whole lot, and to say that
there was "wailing and crashing of

Fort Rice did not impress the men
as did Fort Sully, the dismal build
ings having a depressing influence
which one felt they would like to
drive from memory, and it was with
feelings Of relief that we learned that
the troops, or some of them, were to
go onward as an escort to the sur
veyors and engineers Of the Northern
Pacific on their onward march from
Bismarck to the Yellowstone, and it
was during this campaign that first
met General Rosser, we'll known to
all the old timers of Bismarck, and an
old war opponent and friend Of Lieu
tenant Colonel Custer, of whom /

liant officer.
Since returning east l met one OF
the men who was one Of the engineers
in the party and many happy hour
we spent in recounting the trials and
tribulations of those days and as
sure you we never lacked for an audi
ence during the recitals. The civil
ians never could get used to army
regulations and the precision with
which the outfit moved forward, es-
pecially mornings, was a source of
constant grumblings among them, to
all Of which the regulars gave merry
haw-haw, and as the citizen contin-
gent were a hardy lot, selected es-
pecially for the rough work, their vo-
cabularly would, at times, drive a
gospel wagon a hundred miles over
the prairie without further power.
General Custer, like Miles, Meade,
Terry, and other officers, for reasons
known to themselves, had a habit of
making himself appear so much like
the enlisted men, so far as uniform
was concerned, that he oft times heard
remarks uncomplimentary to an off,
Ger, but no one enjoyed this drama
of real life any more than the gener-
al himself.
While on this campaign we learned
that the headquarters of the regiment
was to be established at Fort Lincoln
and this news, for our short stay in
Bismarck had left an impression re-
garding the town and people that, to
many of us, was and will be lasting
through life. and in my next l will
describe that post as it was in those
days.

THE UNITED STATES.
TAFT STATEMENT
President Bases His Announcement
on Facts Prese nted BY Seers-
tary Wilson Regarding
. Bumper Crop.

| Beverly, Mass, Oct. 21.--In a state.
ment issued here based on reports
from Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, President Taft declares that
the wave of high prices for food
| throughout the world has begun to
subside in this country.
THE American people have cause
to be thankful that because Of our in
uustrial prosperity it has not been at
tended here with the great hardship
which has prevailed in some of the
countries where high prices have
combined with low wages to reduce
the working people to point Dor
dering on starvation" says the state
| ment. ..,...
According to the announcement of
white house officials. Secretary Will
son made an investigation OF the
causes of prices and the effect of the
bumper crops in the United States
upon such prices. The great prosper
ity of the American farmer, the re-
port to the president showed. has
brought about a material decrease in
the cost of food products, although
in many instances the reduction will
no because apparent to the consumer
for several months The report promises
that the price of meat will decrease
notably on account of the bumper crop
of corn, and after cattle, sheep and
hogs fed from that crop reach the
consumer.
Secretary Wilson advised the pres
ident that of the nine great crops OF
the country, corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, potatoes, flaxseed and
hay, the October first prices indicated
saving to the consumer of about 3
per cent, or nearly $500,000,000. 5.
Farmers Growing Wealthy.
The crop increase will make up to
farmers; however, reductions in price.
Mr.. Wilson shows that while the re-
turn to the producers on October 1,
1911. amounted to $3,S6S, 100000. at the
prices prevailing October Of this year
their return will be $4,454 100000
Mr.. Wilson's report according to Of
ficials here, shows that the aggregate
crop in the United States will be about
20 per cent greater than 1t has been for
years. He shows that the wheat crop
of this year is nearly 100000,000 bush
els greater than last year and says that
one high grade -four is costing at the
mills 80 cents a barrel less than 1t did
a year ago. ''
The corn crop, Mr.. Wilson points out,
exceeds 5000, 000,0 900 bushels. and there
has already been decrease in the cost
of corn Of Z cents per bushel. The hay |
crop, he says, has increased more than
II 100000 tons over year ago and he
declares that in consequence the price
per ton has fallen $2.74. This decrease.
he maintains, will not only decrease |
the price of meats, but Of milk, but

This years oats crop amounts to !

FRANK SHANE GOES ON
RECORD FAVORABLE TO BLUE SKY LAW"

Innocent purchasers, he was refused
permit and not allowed to solicit
auyers for stock under severe penal
les. This law works no hardship or
any honest business enterprise, but
puts lot of rogues who have fake
schemes and stock to sell, out OF bust
ness. .... . t.s
Before this law was passed in Kan
sas persons who made a practice OF
selling stock in fraudulent corpora
tons watched the columns of the
newspapers and whenever they found
notice of the death of man OF fam
lily who had isft any considerable sum
of life insurance they would imme.
diately call on the widow or heirs and
try TO sell them stock in their con-
Germs. BY promising large and extrava'
giant dividends they frequently sue
oeeded in making the sale, and the
widow or orphan who had thus un-
wisely invested their money were
fleeced out of the entire amount. Dur
ing the first six months after the en-
actment of this law over four hundred
companies made application Tor
license and of this number about fltty
were granted. What became OF the
others? .I@ "
Iowa has no such law to protect her
citizens and it is more than likely
that many of these sharpers nave
transferred their activities from Kan
sas to this state, s-.
There is an agitation for such law
in Iowa. and am inclined to favor the
same, provided it is drawn in such a
way as to work no hardship on a
legitimate business enterprise.
