A Miami firm has signs put up say
ing, Begin nov TO practice econ

soon anyway.

smaller volume OF business than a
year ago. Cheaper living has not
arrived neither have the better

The failure OF the Slater Bank IN
not an indication OF better times. II
may possibly not have been caused
by the financial stringency. but this
no doubt assisted towards the suspen-
sion. No cause has been given by
the bankers. II IL fortunate hat the
public did not suffer. although a little
practical experience Of free trade
times would have taught some OF our
people more than a thousand lectures.
Uncle Sam has appointed about two
million dollars annually to be used
In keeping the Missouri river In its
channel and prevent cutting. No
where Is work needed worse now than
along Saline Point aud We hope u pro-
per effort will be made to get the

. The telephone Is u great invention.
We couldn't do without a.. at least we
think we couldn't. We have become
addicted to the use OF Il, and use Il
without stint. The good housewife
even uses Il e~xtrayagantly. She has
the groceryman's or the butchers

Considerable feeling has been
shown oyer the proposed paving OF

unfair TO impose a heavy burden on

Il. II the paving began at odell II
would not seem so severe. The loss
OF a home means much 10 a poor man
or widow and the man causing IL does
a wrong. II the street must be Inn

gate the matter carefully and II there
are any who will suffer thereby they
should be protected from any loss

A valuable little pamphlet entitled
Rape as a Supplement to Corn" has
just been gotten out by the Agricul-
tural Department of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain. This circular
was issued and Is being distributed to
farmers along the lines of the road.

consequent damage to the corn crop
In many sections OF the West and
Southwest. IL shows the proper time
TO plant rape and the methods to be
used in sowing to obtain the best re-
s~ultsS-and points out the advantages
TO be gained by a jhdicious use OF
this forage in the feeding OF sheep
and hogs. Figures obtained In tests
at Iowa Experiment Station are given
which show that. compared with pigs
fed In dry lot, forage fed pigs increas-
ed profits more than five fold in
many cases.
