THE CASH BASIS

There is considerable dis
cussion among the farmers
regarding the credit business,
and from what we are able to
learn, there will be many who
will hereafter buy for cash,
having learned of the advan-
tages Of the cash basis, and
that they are liberty to go
where they get the best prices.
We have always contended
that the credit business is very
detrimental to our country,
and the sooner the better
wav is used the sooner and
better our country will pros
per. Credit calls for higher
prices. Credit means money
tied up, while the cash bust
ness keeps the money in circu-
lation all the time.
The farmer who buys fol
cash, saves many a dollar ;
year, while the one who buy'
Oh credit is always at TIT
mercy of the firm he deal
with, and is unable to TAX
advantage of any offering
made by any other merchants
Be wise Mr.. Farmer, bu
only for cash and get tn
benefit Of the low prices. Ho
don't have to tip your hat t

THE GAME LAW.

There game law still needs
some improvements. The law
allowing people TO hunt i'll
their own ward, should be
changed, and a license fee
charged, as most anyone can
find plenty of room for hunting
their own ward. This gives
the hunter without the license
the opportunity of hunting as
free as those who have the
license, except those without
the license cannot go into
other wards and hunt. The
game law is good thing, and
when dwindled down to q
strictly business proposition,
there is no doubt but what the
birds will receive the best o.
protection. A number o.
farmers are determined to helr
the good cause, and i'll many
instances they do not allow
hunting OIL their premises.

WEATHER

WEATHER
Weather is piece of climate which
has been weighed, measured, assay
ed, had it's teeth examined and its
lungs thumped.
Weather is a bone of contention,
a source of local pride, an aid to
memory, boon to crops and large
carrot-red bulls eye for surplus pro-
family.
Everything from lovers trysts to
fistic debates on the Blaine-Cleveland
campaign start by talking about the
weather behind it's back.
Weather forecasting is the only
form of fortune telling boosted by the
U. S. government. Instead of hiding
in a gypsy tent the weather prophet
perches in the tower of a skyscraper
and devotes the principles of palms.
try to reading the lines on the wealth
er map.
1t makes all the difference in the
world which way these lines twist
weather or not tomorrow we shall
be sporting straw lids or sealskin
coats and wa1rus feathers.
Once in every twenty-four hours
the weather futurist gazes into a
crystal and learns the worst. But he
is very stingy after he unbuckles his
trance. For instance, he might tell
us the ball scores, tomorrow, if he
would, while reading the future.
He might spill a warning as to
whether MOOnStuff Gold Mining
stocks and Edible Asphalt Preferred
will rise or fall. Instead he presents

us with a mere hand-out, such as
Fresh northerly Winds and mo re-
lief in sight"
These United States sure have a
large variety of weather. The Stars
and Stripes fiutter over Arctic ice
and blubber and palm trees and wat
ermelon at all times of the year.
But here's a quaint fact: No mat
ter what sort of weather it endures
as a general thing, each section of
the country is proud of its own par
ticular breed. Such districts adver-
tise that they enjoy summer all the
year.
Other areas boast that the ther-
mometer sinks to thirty frappes be-
low zero, but that the humidity is
so slight you don't notice it. Another
state will admit it rains angoras and
daschhunds, but that the rain is not
very wet.
In one of our largest cities the
weather vaudeville includes billiards.
and heat prostrations all in a day, yet
the natives cry variety is the spice O.
life.
Weather records are kept and cod
died by the U. S. bureau of agricul-
ture. But any old timer can easily
knock 'em galley west by recalling

meet the blackboard coming up
agin. Our hat was jo1ted down
so tite over our ears that after we
arrove to the Co. seat it TUX us

Not only that, but when we

then when we did git out he asked
us if we would also carry the mail

That's a fine way for a stage driver

Slime git out and walk hisself and
let as ride, we ask? Because he's
too doggoned lazy, we anser. Then
when we come to Teck's hill re-

git out and walk down the hill, be-
ing as the blackboard pushed so on
the old mare that she was liable to
git outen hurnor and kick the stuff

Betwixt the jouncing and the
walking our trip to the Co. seat
was not much of a pleasure trip,
which is parshially what we went
for. When we come to settle with

anytf1ink because we walked and
was so lame we could skeercely
stand up. On the contrary he TUX

us that when we desired to take a
