Standpat Republicans are greatly
concerned just now for fear the new
tariff will ruin the farmer, because
grain is put on the free list. With
wheat ten cents bushel higher in
Canada than in the United States we
do not see how the farmer is going to
be put out of business by the pauper
grain of Canada. The real "nigger
in the woodpile" is found in the fact
that the new tariff puts nearly every
thing the farmer buys on the free list
and thus will prove his real benefac-
tor. Here are some of the things
hitherto taxed that the farmer may
buy free of duty under the Democrat
ic tariff: Cotton bagging and sacks,
plows, harvesters, rakes, threshing
machines, reapers, drills and plan
tiers, binders, harrows, shovels, hoes,
mowers, all kinds of planters and
agricultural implements, wire for
fencing, harness, saddlery, wagons,
fertilizers, carts, shoes, boots and
road-making material.

PRICE, S1.oo PER YEAR
MICE AND MEN.

I'm view of the temperate and
wise utterance of the States Of
ficers it was inevitable that nego-
tiations should result in the re-
turn from exile beyond its bord-
ers of great and beneficent
business whose protection is so
largely the basis of commercial
prosperity and which often stands
between the holder of its indem-
nifty and dire distress.
The above is an extract froma state
ment appearing in Wednesdays ST.
Louis Republic, signed by twelve Of
the largest insurance agencies in St.
Louis, announcing their return to the
state. One cannot help but compare
its dignified, temperate and even
complimentary wording with the
vulgar rawlings and the unseemly abuse
which have characterized the efforts
ofcertain two-by-four calibres to force
the Governor to call an entirely un-
necessary session of the Legislature
to adjust the insurance situation.
Truly there is a vast difference be-
tween mice and men.

One of the greatest naval radio sta
tons in the world, even eclipsing in
size the new station at Arlington, Va,
is to be constructed by the United
States at Caimito, in the canal zone.
1t will be known as the Darien Radio
Station and, whereas one of the Ar
lington towers reaches the height of
600 feet, all three of towers at Darien
will be that high. The Darien plant,
it is expected, will be able to COM
municate with San Francisco as we'll
as with Arlington and to reach into
the Southern seas as far as Valdivia,
Chile, 421 miles south of Valparaiso,
on the West Coast of South America,
and as far as Buenos Aires, Argen-
tine on the east side. Throwing its
waves across the Atlantic, this new
station should communicate with the
Island of St. Vincent, 500 miles west
of Africa.

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
Don't Miss the Big Bates County Fair,
August 10 to q.

In addition to the positive assur-
ance that we right here give you, that
the live stock and general exhibits
will be as good as present conditions
will permit, we are particularly anx-
lous to impress on your mind that the
special features and the free attrac-
tons that have been secured at big
cost for your entertainment and edi.
fication are of exceptionally high
merit.
The races are filled and declared a
go, and they have for your pleasure
and delight the greatest number of
horses, and we will say the highest
class bunch that has ever visited this
section of the state.
The big free attraction will be Mr..
Longren and his wonderful daily
flights in his new 1918 biplane. This
is positively the biggest and best at
traction of its kind that can be gotten
and we want you to see it.
The poultry show is offering you
something out of the ordinary this
year. The show will be held in a
large roomy tent, and they have Sc
cured the extensive exhibit arranged
for the State Fair by the Poultry Ex-

try Farm, of Dallas, Texas, for their
fine exhibit Of over 800 birds, con.
aisting of birds from all parts of the
world. This is all to be under one
big tent and will be free. If you
don't see this big show you will Ger.
tainly be the loser.
