VIM. C. Miller Finds Profits In Stock

VIM. C. Miller Finds Profits In Stock.
VIM. c. Miller, one Of the progress
sive farmers Of McCrea, has the right
idea in regard to the opportunities Of
fered in this valley for successful
stock raising. Ever since he came to
the valley he has endeavored to in
crease and improve his herd Of cattle.
In conversation with a Sheaf re-
porter, Mr.. Miller stated tnat in his
opinion it is more profitable for the
farmers here to raise beef cattle than
to engage in dairying, principally on
account Of the labor cost. Beef prices
are high and are likely to remain so
always.

Norway Evening Was Good.

The Norwegian musical and liter
try entertainment at the United Lu-
theran church on Monday evening
was listened to by a small but appre-
ciative audience. Miss Bergliot Cas-
parry, soprano, has a wonderfully
clear and sweet voice and her rem
dition of Norwegian classic and folk
songs pleased all. Mr.. Einar Hilsen
is masterful as a declaimer and reci-
ter of choice selections from Nor
ways famous writer's. He is himself
also, an author of considerable note
These entertainers deserve a full

there is a serious congestion OF port

The Suffrage Cause.

Gen. Sir John French, the command
er OF the British forces in France, has
been converted to suffrage. The gen.
eral had been very strong opponent
Of the enfranchisement of women,
and highly disapproved Of the opin-
ions and the militant methods OF his
sister. Mrs. Despa-d, the president Of
the Wonen's Freedom League Of Eng
land
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch, pres
ident of the Women's Political Union,
says, however: a friend writes to
me from England that General French
recently returned to England to visit
his sister for a day in order that he
might tell her personally Of his alb
solute conversion TO woman suffrage.
his former attitude having been over
borne by the heroism, endurance, and
organizing ability Of the women on
the battlefelds of France and Bel
GUM. The general thought he ought
to bring this message to his sister
himself, because he had turned his
British back upon her and her opin-
ions very emphatically a few years
ago"

Isn't it rather strange in the face of the continuously

and liquor is sold under prohibition than under IL
cense that the makers and wholesalers of liquor should
oppose prohibition?
Does this declaration of those urging prohi-
bton of the liquor traffic give the lie direct to all the
liquor interest claims?
Are they not making prohibition because it
duces their facilities for creating by advertising window
display, and cunning appeal appetites for drink?
Can you doubt, after reading the above item, that
the liquor interests determined not to be confined to
