WOOL BUYERS AND.pRIcEs

Crook (Wyo) Blade: The Denver
Field and Farm Journal says the first
raft of eastern wool buyers have an
peared in the west, and are running
around like so many lost terriers in
search OF something they cannot find.
Ihese men are cognizant ofssthe. stub
porn fact that they will have to nav
good and plenty for all the wool thev
have to pull off our backs this season.
instead of offering paltry eighteen or
twenty cents pound as has been their
custom in years gone by they are Open
ing the till by pledging thirty cents.
and at this they are only getting the
horse laugh from the big owners who
are now sticking out for thirty. five
cents as the base line and some of them
who are not hogtied by the banks are
talking about forty and fifty cents as
the salve to plaster over their wounded
feelings for the injustices of the past.
Whatever the price, it is going to be a
quick step and a merry one for the feI-
lows who have to pay.

NEW HOMESTEAD LAW

The 800 acres homestead law re.
Gently passed by Congress, is not a
new law, but simply the extension of
the $50 acre law which has been in
effect in Montana and several other
states since 1909, to South Dakota.
1t amends the original law so as to
permit applications for entry to- be
filed before the lands have been de-
slgnated as subject to the provisions
OF the act. such applications to be
held without action until after the
land has been examined, when if
found to be subject to entry under
the act, the applications may be al
lowed and placed of record. Hereto
Tore no applications could be receiy-
ed until the land had been designated
and date named by the Department
on and after which the designated
would become effective.
Additional entries NAV be made by
persons holding homestead entry on
lands Of the character contemplated
oy the law, where adjoining land of
the same character can be obtained.
provided proof has not yet been made
on the original entry. Persons who
nave proved up cannot make addi-
tlonal entries. Cultivation of one.

TWINE PRICES BOOSTED

Argus Leader: 1t is the opinion of
the Huronite. that the defeat of the
appropriation to enlarge the twine
plant in the state prison is to be
attributed to the activities of the
cordage trust, of which, of course,
there is not the slightest evidence.
In the first place there is no such
trust that we know of. and in the
second place, we have heard not the
slightest hint of any outside infu.
ence. The defeat of the measure
was simply because of the failure of
the members to appreciate straight
business proposition. The farmers
of the state and the inmates of the
penitentiary will be the chief suffer.
ers. while the taxpayers will pay just
a little more becsuse of the failure of
this appropriation.

COMING BACK

More than three quarters of a mil
lion Americans were taken into
church membership in the past year.
Two-fifths of all our population
now claim to be enlisted under the
banner of the cross.
True, many don't work at it. And
others serve mammon good deal
more Zealously than God.
That, however, is only as it always
has been; as it may always be.
The encouraging, the hopeful, fact
is that, in 1914, more Americans than
ever before went on record with the
desire to walk in better pathways. to
live more nearly in accordance with
the spirit of the golden rule.
The church seems on the way to
prove that it can come back.

CINCHING THE LEGISLATORS

Huron Huronite: 1t IS the conclu-
sion of the Mitchell Republican that
the interest grabbing ex-treasurers
OF the state should be proceeded
against by the courts, but not alone.
The members of several legis latures
that failed to pass laws compelling
state treasurers to be honest should
share in the consequences that the
courts might intlict. Most of the
newspapers of the state will be in.
clined to endorse thesuggestion, even
to the extent of letting the ex treas
urers go and cinching the legislators.

OFFS1,O0o,ooo,ooo
Reduced Exports, Due to
War, Result in Unfavor-
able Balance.
By FRANCIS w. HIRST.
Editor OF The Economist. -
fg,.ct.t Cable IN Tho Tribune


London, Aug. 10.-The present
stretch of wet weather here is I'M
favorable to the harvest, but experts
hope that food prices will not rise,
as American and Canadian crop re-
ports are good.
Neutral observers assert that
Germany expects very large crops
of wheat and potatoes, the beet area
being much reduced.
Renewed sales of treasury bills at
higher rates indicate a desire to
maintain the price of money in Lon
don.
Board of Trade returns for July
completing one year of the war show
full reasons for the unfavorable
state of our American exchanges.
Owing almost entirely to reduced
exports we appear to owe Sl,OCO,-
100000 more than in the previous
year to neutral colonial and allied
countries.
The gradual shrinkage of our ex-
portable surplus is rightly attrib-
uted by "The Morning Post" to in
creasing diversion of workers, esre-
cially miners and factory hands,
into army and munitions work.
