what puzzles me is how to figure
out why we have to pay 80 cents a
pound for ham and bacon at our
butcher shops when the best have
been selling for less than 81 per 100
pounds" remarked D. S. Johnson Of
Johnson county, Missouri. "Of course
the average farmer is not an expert
on figures, but so far as we can fig
ure, this looks suspicious. The offal
and by-products of the hog are sold,
80 as we go into it, the mystery
seems to deepen. "-Drovers Tele-

to drain certain lake and marshes in

The market price of maize is now
$1.25 per hundred pounds. Broom
corn is bringing the measly sum OF
$50 and you have to have good stuff
to get that Maize can be raised with
a small fraction of the cost of broom
corn and is always salable at fair
figure, and if not fancy price is
within from four to six per cent in
value for hog fattening and steer fat
tening purposes as Indian corn,
proven so by government test. You
can handle the crop with but little
or no expense outside threshing and
several families that we know Of
have made small fortunes this year
farming from one to three quarters
to maize and Kafir, something en-
tirely out of the question in broom
corn. Maize and Kafir will make
Texas county rich in years to come
and broom corn will keep on trying
to bust it. Maize means hogs and
cattle, and the combination means
prosperity. Broom corn means mort
gagged homes and mortgaged prop
erty, hard times for the growers five
years out of five, and hard business
for the business man. If the war
continues in Europe maize will bring
high prices all next year and the
next year, while broom corn will con-
tinue to be drug on the market.
Think 1t over. Cut out the slavery
work and get down to business.

The town of Driftwood, Oklahoma,
which has population of more than
275 (000), is the first city to put the
ban on the "Jitney" cars. The mayor
has absolutely refused to permit the
issuance OF license for the opera
ton of such cars on the ground that
Driftwood's transportation facilities
are entirely adequate; that the "Jit-
ney" business is unconstitutional, and
is covered by the game laws, anyway.
%Walter Ferguson, of the Chero-
kee Republican, says that if "Jitney"
means anything like it sounds, it is
not so new, as the Rock Island has
been using that brand of cars for
years, and with the next breath states

Tuesday the county sherlff's Office
received a notice to allow no ship
ment of stock into the state from
Kansas with the exception of horses,
which are practically immune from
the foot and mouth disease, which
has become prevalent in Kansas
again. All stock is prohibited from
being received in the county. 1t
seems that the Kansas cattle which
were thought to be rid of the dis
ease contracted it again from north

restricted from billing out cattle or

THE JAPANESE PERIL.

Register and Leader: There are
only 3O9,467 japanese living in for.
eign countries, in Europe, the two
Americas and Asia, and of these g.,
3G4 are living in China, and $500
in Hawaii.
There are in round numbers 100,.
900 japanese on the American cont
nent, to be accurate 100, 1898, and OF
these 1000 are in Canada, and a
few more than as many more in
South American countries. In the
United States there are 76,13S.
If we stop to consider how Incl
dental such an addition would be to
any one of our larger cities, to say
nothing of one of our states, we
shall see of how little Importance
the japanese contribution has been
to our total population. If all the
japanese could have come in one
year and could have landed at Cas-
tie Garden, they would have been
lost in the stream of immigration
pouring into New York City from all
over Europe.
The impression has been created
in some way that the Japanese are
swarming all over the world, that
they have taken Australia and the
islands of the Pacific, that they have
become menace to western civiliza-
ton everywhere, when as a matter
Of fact all the Japanese to be found
outside the boundaries Of their own
country today would not make an
appreciate addition to the total pop
llation of even the most sparsely
populated state. There are but 5000
Japanese in Australia.
What is true of the japanese is
rue measurably with the Chinese.
During the ten years in which Chin
,se immigration into the United
States was unrestricted the average
humber OF Cinnamon coming to our
hores annually was about $4,000. |
There were fewer when the great an
i-Chinese agitation was begun in |
California that led to Chinese exclu-
ion legislation.
The visitor to the Pacific coast
nds himself hard pressed to discov-
r the cause of the violent antipathy
he country over because of what the
over assumes the situation
n the coast to be. He finds the jap
nese Industrious, thrifty, obliging,
ttending strictly to the job they
ave in hand. Nobody seems to be
isturbed by them or to be alarmed
ecause of their presence.

The Des Moines Chamber of Com.

Des Moines before the eyes of Amer

finest music at 50 a seat and up
wards, the Des Moines Chamber of
Commerce have bestirred themselves
and, combined with the leaders of
the various musical Conservatives in
that city, have finally hit upon this
plan:
A guarantee of $4,000 was secur-
ed to cover the expense and over 100
business men signed the guarantee.
Such men as Dean Cowper, DR.. Bart
lett, Dean Nagel and others have
agreed to launch no musical attrac-
tion of their own during the winter,
but to help in this one grand course

Stadt, ETC., which usually command !

course will be offered at unheard

Who have previously been unable to

ion of it's dreams. If the plan pays
ut in pecuniary way, the value re-
