NEW WHEAT GOOD
Cambridge Millers Pass on
Quality.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, July g.
New wheat is being marketed at 20
cents a bushel. Local dealers pro-
nounce the quality excellent, with an
average yield of twenty bushels per
acre. Because of the recent rains, oats
will be much better than anticipated,
while there is perfect stand of corn,
and that conditions could not be bet
ter.

ADVERTISING OPEN
FIELD To FARMER
IN MAKING MONEY
Specialization, Farm Names,
Newspapers and Bulletin
Boards Offer Course to
Market and Riches.
BY A. .. COBB.

There is a big opportunity for the
farmer further to develop his bust.
ness by advertising and scientific
salesmanship.
To be good salesman one must be
able to persuade others that you have
something they need. One of the best
methods of accomplishing this per
suasion is by good advertising. Ad
vertising consists in telling the world
that you have something for sale, and
telling it in such way that the reader
can not resist the impulse to buy.
Much space has been devoted in
farm papers toward urging the farmer
to increase his production and in ad
vising him of the best way to do it.
The agricultural colleges, farmers in
stitutes and the various branches OF
agricultural extension that have been
developed in the last few years have
all devoted great deal of time in

MER SPEARS.
Frank P. Spears, director of the Bos-
ton Y. M. c. A. when called upon to
decide whether he would remain a
widower and enjoy fortune of $780,
900, or remarry and be compelled to
renounce the money, that he would
sacrifice the money to marry Miss
Katherine May Vinton, a graduate of
La Sale Seminary. He was compell-
ed to make this sacrifice because of
the peculiar will made by his first
wife, by which she decreed that he
could enjoy this amount of money as
long as he remained single.
'Some popular novel in which a
wife's fortune is abused by her widow
er might have been the cause of my
wife's restricting me in her WILL" said
Spears. AT any rate my decision to
sacrifice wealth for love is not hard
one. Incidently, l believe every busi-
ness man should be married. No
bachelor quarters for me-" continued
Mr.. Spears.

ceiyed special favors in the shape Of
preferential rates-rates lower than
the published schedules.
Preferential Falls.
He asserts that II under the new
schedule he has drafted and which
the city will ask the commission to ap.
prove. any consumer gets . rate high
er than he had prior to the existing
schedule, it will be because he has
been the beneficiary of preferential
rate (which will never return to him
again." d.
The Bond letter also makes public
for the first time the fact the city
plant has in the past been guilty Of
cutting rates for the benefit Of
privileged few, a crime officials of
the former administration attributed
solely to the Light, Heat & Power
company.
Mr.. Bond bluntly states that tho
city sold more than seventy per cent
of the current consumed for power
"at special contract rates much lower
than the old schedule"
Origin Of Discrimination.
He then says that by this method
many unjust determinations arose
and inequalities crept in which make
it all the harder nov to formulate .
satisfactory rate schedule.
"The trouble, however, does not
arise from the present method of for
mulating a schedule" the communica-
ton to the mayor continues, but sole
ly because under the former method
many power consumers were receiv-
ing rates much lower than should have
been given them. A consumer who
has received a special and preferen-
tial rate is apt to feel aggrieved when
his special favOrs are taken away. I
do not believe, however. that any spec
ial favors should be granted. All
! must be treated exactly alike without
any discrimination whatever. This
method is in harmony with the Law
and is the only one that meets the re-
quirements of equity and justice"
Mr.. Bond then explains that his sug-
gestion to reduce the new power rates
practically ten per cent Is not made
because he believes the new rates to
be too high, but because he believes.
the city plant can afford to make this
reduction.

|, There are several other things
which could be said pertaining to
these Indians; things of which
some would be skeptical. but never
theless, if investigated, would be
proved as facts. They have sports
men? Yes, some good sportsmen.
But why should they not all be
sportsmen, considering their envir,
onment? If you were to investi-
gate, or have investigated, you
would find, or have found, that
there are many of the white
race who are far superior to the
Indians in all kind of sport.
1t is true that they have their
Jim Thorp, who has been repeatedly
lionized by the press, but even so,
he is in no way superior to the many
Jim Thorp's of the white race
And as far as baseball is concerned,
do not think that because a man is
a red skin. Sioux, a Cheyenne or a
Navajo, that he must be ball play
er. Because there never yet was
an Indian, among the Indians [ have
known, or have not known, who
could come up to the standard of
our own pale face Ty Cobb.
So while the writer's of fiction
and the writer's of facts, are pro-
claiming the advent of the Indian
to civilization, let us all know, or at
least, try to think we know. that
there are some of these writer's who
have never yet made the little trip
back into the Big Horn hills, and
lived with and worked among this
seemingly queer tribe of Indians;
these Indians l have known.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1914-12-17

So there you have these Indians
these Indians l have known, charac-
terized in the two main essentials OF
industrious living. They have
proved with few exceptions, to be
complete failures at both; and from
time to time we read of where the
Government is opening up different
reserves TO the public, for settle
ment. Do you wonder why?
Some think, that the race is be.
coming extinct; and to certain ex.
tent, it is. But it is not through
the lack of medical attention sho WI
by the Government, because all
reservations have doctors. whose
duty it Is to keep watchful eye for
diseases of contagious nature, and
to check such diseases at their be-
ginning. But when a young pa
poose has high, fever, more often
its parents will take 1t away to the
hills, and burn all-night fires beside
its sick bed, while they go through
series of weird and fantastic dane
es under the midnight stars in pref
erence to consulting the reservation
doctor. They all seem to have great
superstitions of things of a scienti-
fic nature, such as medicine. which
Is really uncomprehensible to the
agents and investlgators-why ply
into their queer modes of living?
They have one characteristic
that is common among all other rae
es, and that is; the worship Of the
almighty dollar. But when they
have succeeded in accumulating
fifty or sixty dollars, by doing work
at the agency, they seem to use no
judgement as to spending it. A
party of six or SO, will start for
town squatted down in the bottom
of springless wagon, with an a1my
of dogs bringing up in the rear.
In a week they will return; but
what have they bought with their
money? Is it sack of -four, or a
case of canned good, or some hams?
Oh no! 1t is more apt to be fifteen
or twenty yards of ostentatious cloth
and a sewing machine. The mach
inc goes into one corner of the floor
less cabin, the cloth is made into
gaudy dresses or shaWls for the
squaws. and that is the end of their
fifty dollars. While they were in
town. in all probability, they made
numerous trips up the alleys to the
rear entrances of eating houses and
begged. or picked up their food. l
might add in this paragraph. that
the tribe as a whole. seem to use no
discrimination as to their relation
of eatables, and at times they stoop
to very filthy modes of living.
