what has been received from the local
elevators. Six cars of wheat were load
ed at Gland last Saturday. This is just
four miles west of the city and there
is no elevator there. so the farmers

tains about 1, 500 bushels which makes
about 9, 600 bushels of wheat loaded at
Eland already this season for the local
mills. The Walton & Davis elevator had
over three carloads or 4, 500 bushels in
this week, the Farmers elevator about
g. 600 bushels. while the Occident ele-
vator had about 4, 600 bushels. The FIVE
local elevators, including the one under
construction, have a capacity Of $50, 600
bushels. As the grain is being
threshed out the actual yields are very
pleasing and up to the estimates
given earlier in the season. Wheat is
yielding all the way from Is to 80 bush
els and oats are giving splendid yields,
over 100 bushels to the acre being
threshed by some of the farmers.

How large a salary does
a young man need per
month i'm order to support

swer these questions soon.
JOE.
A.-The answer to both ques-
tions depends entirely on the
two people. In the majority of
cases it is best for young people
to have known each other well
for at least year-two years is
better.
If both are willing to make a
home by work and forbearance,
if the man has not extravagant
ideas, and the wife knows some
thing of domestic economy, and
both are content to start in a
very small way as did our grand
father, a salary of even $50 a
month with a small bank account
to fall back upon is sufficient.
But if the husband insists on
doing the buying and brings
home two or three kinds of meat
at a time, and the wife thinks
life dull if she hasn't silk
waist, or dress, and If they give
no thought but to self-gratifica-
ton, caring little what kind of
children they produce, and allow
them to come in rapid succession,
causing weakness in their off
spring and themselves; then they
need the income of millionaires.

is wrong, and that the law of the

Anyone who does her own
canning knows the tribulations
of staining the hands with fruit
juice. Here Is remedy, Put
in the palm of one hand a very
small pinch of bicarbonate OF
potassium and the same amount
of oxalic acid. Add a few drops
of water, enough to moisten It.
1t will soon begin to ferment and
heat, but it will not injure the
hands. Now rub it all over the
hands as if washing them. Then
wash in cold water, and then in
warm water and soap. This Will
free the hands from stain and
leave them white and soft.
