THE CORN WILL
RAISE IN PRICE
Is Opinion of Many and Some Would
Gamble on Prices Next MAY

! ." ophhoh VI NAhiy anu SOffit WOulu
Gamble on Prices Next May
former Franklin county farmer,
ex-county official, something of a
traveller, a man of keen observation
and wide general experience, was on
a train the other day and said: IF
l were a gambler I'd certainly take a
chance on May corn. Where was any
marketable corn grown this year,"
he continued certainly not in north
ern Iowa, Minnesota or Dakota. The
southern part of the state will need
the greater part of it's crop, only a
small part of Missouri grows corn
for outside market, central and north
ern Illinois has no good corn. The
only places where the crop is better
than usual are those in the south
west country where most anything
is better than usual How far does
the surplus corn of Oklahoma go to-
ward making up the deficiency in our
part of the world?"
"One of my relatives shipped in a
carload of old corn" he went on, "at
a cost of sc cents per bushel. A
few days later another bought a car
at an advance of 2 cents, and last
week third, who has a lot of stock
to finish. purchased carload at 70
cents. 1t will be much higher here
after. There are two kinds of people
when 1t comes to crop reporting,
the kind that always see bumper
crops, whatever real conditions ma,
be, and the kind that ever insist that
there is no considerable crop except
in the minds of the other fellows.
The pessicistic class certainly has
made the better estimate this year."
Here in the vicinity of Bows the
cornfield conditions are far from en-
couraging. East of town there are
some of the best farms of Franklin
county and some of the best farmers,
too, men are working to and fro thru
the fields with their wagon boxes d.
yided into two compartments, trying
to divide what they think might keep
thru part OF the summer from the
mushy stuff that must be fed at once,
and they are finding ten ears of the
latter kind to one of the former.
Southwest of town conditions are still
worse, for here large percentage of
the farmers are renters and Q larger
acreage Is imperfectly drained. If
there is renter in this locality who
is paying his rent with this years
work he failed to mention the fact
and plenty of them told about bor-
rowing for this purpose. North of
town conditions appear to be a little
better, but there were as many cold
wet days and as few warm nights
here as in other communities last
summer and the corn husking hired
man finds himself out of job here
as well as In other communities
where he generally gets i've or SIX
weeks of profitable employment
Most men are picking their own corn.

County Attorney Graham has en-
tered suit against the gang for the
return Of Wilson's property and l am
sure it will soon be in his possession.
again. Two years ago Reeser took
the bankruptcy law but today owns a
large modern dwelling and the read
er can easily imagine where some of
the money was obtained.
In conclusion l will say that it is
a shame an aged man like Mr.. Wilson
who has had such a struggling ca
rear, should at the sunset of life fall
a victim of such unprincipled conn.,
.dence men. Omaha needs more
Billy Sundays to clean up the city.
The scoundrels have played a big
game and have played 1t well. They
have violated the laws of the land
and now that they are caught in the
net they will have to abide by the
consequences. The guillotine of the
days of Cromwell or the gallows and
the electric chair of today are too
good for them. Twenty-Five years at
Fort Leavenworth would be a pun
ishment that should be meated out
to them.
The case may be brought up al
the December term of court.
