BUY A SEASON TICKET NOW.

If the good people of this county do not patronize, encourage and give their personal help and endorsement to the Chautauqua that is billed to begin here on July 1st, then we had just as well quit trying to provide high-class amusement for their bene- fit. This is matter of utmost i'm portance and concern to every parent, every child. The price "a dollar and hah for the whole season of five days ten performances, and other things on the side, is so trivial compared to the good that will be accomplished if the people will go and listen to the numbers on the high-class program. that 1t seems ridiculous that we should have even to mention it. But we understand that the sale of tickets is going very slow, and that 1t is re- Quiring the com bined efforts of a score or more Of men and women to explain and urge the people to buy their tickets. Tickets may be pur- chased now at sl.50; but if you wait until the first day, then 1t will cost s2. .00, and single tickets to all nun. bers amount to s320. Surely this com munity is not going to let few enterprisng men who have guaran- teed the sale of 400 tickets lose any thing. It would be a shame if they do.

CORDRY'S PROTEST.

AS MAN TO man.

He was a transfer man waiting Tor
trunks from the hotel. 1t was one bit
ter cod night few nights ago that the
newspaper man met the transfer man.
The newspaper man always tries TO pc
polite to those who labor, SO when the
mover and conveyor Of trunks made
salutation with his arm and gave greet
ing with his tongue these courtesles
were returned. The transfer man took
heart quickly and stopped the news
paper man. He directed attention to
his coat. The night was dark but a
friendly arc light threw its CLEAN TAR
enough for one to see that the coat
bore still the creases OF newness and
that it was a corduroy coat. 1t seemed
to be heavy and we'll made. The wind
whistled a sad song In the street ana
the newspaper man shivered. The
transfer man stood like a rock In front
OF a base burner stove.

to tell some one Of his purchase. The
newspaper man had been stopped be-
fore on his way down the track Of the
years to hear men tell of their recent
purchases. He had heard a man talk
about his new automobile. Heard the
story from Moses at Sinai with the tab
lets of stone to Dawson at Topeka
with the statutes of Kansas. From the
spark plug to the tail light. He had
been fastened to the wall to hear a
friend tell of his cab drivers hat and
walters dress suit. He had listened
YEARLY to the language Of the pluto

city lot and his country home. How
often, oh, how often. he had heard the
rich tell of new riches, the fat tell Of

patters whipped to a frazzle. They
wanted to get out a platform declaring

publican principles. But Mr.. Capper

And sitting here in the beautiful

WHAT THE FARMER WANTS
ONLY Fair Prices for His Produce and
a Square Deal.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: notice an account OF Governor
Glynns address before the Agricultural
Society convention at Albany. I do not
think the Governor has the inside facts
covering the situation when he says the
first problem is how 10 get more OF the
states land under cultivation. II would
have been far better if he had said:
How can we prevent more land from
coming under cultivation, till the supply
does not equal the demand?"
To-day the farmers in the state OF
New York are getting 80 cents bushel
for potatoes. delivered on board cars at
the various buying points. for instance
in Steuben County where more potatoes
are raised than in any other county in
the United States except Aroostook. Me.
Now, does Governor Glynn or anybody
else want producers 10 get less than
this price for potatoes? Does he
think farmers are getting rich raising
them for this price? Does the Governor
know what II costs 10 turn out an acre
Of potatoes? When a farmer plants ten
acres or more OF potatoes Il costs him
time he spreads the manure till he loads
his crop on the car. including every
thing-seed. labor. fertilizer. interest
etc. This expense he must go to whether
his crop is good or small; the average
crop is around 80 bushels per acre. Ieav-
ing the farmer about $40 per acre for
his profit. Does any right-thinking man
believe the grower is getting more than
his share?
