1T PAYS TO LISTEN

Arthur Brisbane, speaking to
the Advertising Mems League
in New York recently, recalled
a story about Napoleon. The
emperor was racking his brain
to find a way to transport an
army to England. In those days
all ships depended entirely up
on favorable winds. Robert Full
ton came along with a sugges-
ton that he might help solve
the problem.
Napoleon" said the editor,
''told this American he would
give him just two minutes. Full
ton wasn't able to tell him what
he wanted to know in two min
utes, and so Napoleon lost his
one chance to land an army in
England, for Fulton went away
and invented the steamboat,
which doesn't depend upon fav-
orable winds.
cts the same way with a lot
of big business men today
they won't listen. The next
time one hasn't time to listen to
you, you might tell him this
story of Napoleon.

ngton road, about two miles
from the city. When he reached
there he found that Mrs. U.men
was suffering from a severe at
tack of appendicitis. This was
about 2 O'clock this morning.
DR.. Hielscher advised that the
lady be brought to this city this
morning for an operation. The
roads were in an abominable
condition.
Mr.. Ulmen's neighbours, learn
ing Of the situation, got busy
on the farmers telephone line
and all the farmers between this
city and Ulmen's corner turned
out and dragged the road Gear

was brought over in smooth

o'clock Monday forenoon and has
every chance Of making a nice
recovery.-Mankato Review.

MORALS AND WEALTH

Kid Scully, after spending all
his money, was sent to the peni-

for his connection with one of
the vice cases in Minneapolis.
Joe Bragdon, before spending
all his money, was found not
guilty in another Minneapolis

was closed up, but the Gopher
Inn, a very prosperous and high

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET.
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
q CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford


..,t, Lecturer National Farmers Union
THE farmer is the paymaster OF
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount
which the farmer is compelled to
honor without protest This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of COM
merce; may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from tree
When farmer buys a pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it into an ar.
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
sold him the goods He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
in the transaction as we'll as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
etc, used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet of him.
self and those engaged in the sub.
Sidiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all of them
The total value of the nations
annual agricultural products is around
$4,000, 100000, and it is safe to esti.
mate that 50 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of sub.
Sbdiary industries The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devetes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, CONNER
cial and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets 1t.
The annual payroll of agriculture
appToXimates $12 ,000000,00O A por-
ton of the amount is shifted to for
eign countries in exports, but the
total payroll of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
f0lls pn;l do 0h,ln n,
manufacturers, s4,365, 100000; mining,
seas 00o,001; banks, 100000, 900;
mercantile $500, 600 ,00O and a heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder
1t takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for 1882, 100000, to pay off
the employees of the railroads; the
money derived from our annual sales
of livestock of approximately $4,000
100000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920,000,000; the wheat crop,
which is worth $61o,e9e.oOO and the
Oat crop, that is worth $44O,OO0,OOO,
are required to meet the annual pay
roll of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used in meeting the
payroll of the bankers. merchants,
etc. After these obligations are paid,
the farmer has only few punches of
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the pro-
ceeds his own.

Terry's Big Uncle
Toms Cabin Coming

Announcement is made of the
coming Of the old favorite and
much talked Of play, Uncle
Toms Cabin. Many amusement
enterprises have grown from
small companies to two and
three car shows the Terry COM
pany being one that is found
in this class, having started
twenty seven years ago with a
small troupe Of ten people grad
ually augmenting their attrac-
ton until now they are carry
ing fifty people and travelling in
their own Pullman cars, their
great success being due to the
fact that the shows manage
ment has always had the en-
ergy, push and honest business
dealings, in presenting this
mammoth Uncle Toms Cabin
Company. From the day of
their beginning with small
things, they have mounted up
wards until now they stand at
the top without competitors, and
now Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin
is the household word in many
states. The teachers in the
schools, the preacher from their
pulpits, the lecturer from his
platform, fathers and mothers
each ad every one encourage
the attendance to the worlds
greatest slave drama, that Har-
riet Ward Beecher Stowe wrote
on the colored race, and the
Terry company presents this
National drama in it's entirity.
Neither expense nor time has
been spared to make the Terry
show one of the best on the
road. Having equipped the
stage with all the necessary
scenic and electrical effects, and
the presenting cast is made up
of the very best dramatic talent
that could possibly be secured,
and any one that witnesses the
production can rest assured that
they will see as complete a pro-
duction as if it were shown in
the larger cities in the first
class theatres. The name Ter
RVS is a guarantee in itself for
whenever this name is found
upon the advertising the people
will know what to expect, as
their presentation is a true rep
resentation of the authors story.
Many imitators have tried to
follow the ways of Terry and
want to know the secret of the
wonderful success, but there is
no secret, it is simply the meth
cd in which the shows have been
conducted since the first per-
Torrance, twenty seven years
ago.
Special attention has also been
given to the Bands and Orches-
tras this season, nothing but
the highest class musicians be-

GRAIN GRADING. ~. 4.
CHANGE SOUGHT
E. F. LADD DECLARES FARMERS
LOSE Is CENTS ON BUSHEL OF
REJECTED WHEAT.

Fargo, N. D., April 17-Farmers
selling rejected grain at FL cents less
than the price commanded by No. !
wheat, are losing Is cents on every
bushel. Such statement was made
today by DR.. E. F. Ladd, president Of
the North Dakota agricultural college
in hearing before the state railroad
commission, where the question of
grain grading was considered.
DR.. Ladd, pointing to milling tests
conducted at the North Dakota agri-
cultural college, said the present
spread of Fl cents in No. l and re-
jected wheats is entirely unfair, I'M
just and unnecessary"
North Dakota's tests, Dr. Ladd said,
revealed the actual difference in mill
ing value of only cents per bushel,
as between high grade and low grade
wheats, the low grade wheat having
much more gluten. DR.. Ladd also
maintained that small millers were
being driven out of business through
the fact that they are unable to util-
ize the lower grades of wheat. This
gives the big millers, using low grade
wheat, big leverage, with which they
are able to successfully force the small
millers out Of business, he said.
The railroad commission will seek
to find a way of bringing about a
change in grain grading in this state.
The grain grades now conform to
Minnesota's regulation.
