COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT.


To anyone who has watched the de-
velopmept of both the country and
city in Manitowoc for the past ten
years there can be but one conclusion
as to which made the greater progress
The rural district or farming popula-
ton of the county has made wonderful
strides toward betterment Farm
homes and farm buildings have i'm
proved at least fifty per cent in efiicien-
cy. The methods of farming have
been completely changed. Modern
methods have been generally accepted
with but lutte criticism. Dairy farm
ing has taken the place of general
farming. 1t was matter of necessity
that has brought about this change to
dairy farming. The soil needed the
fertilizer and the old method of crop
ping the soil and selling the crops
could no longer be continued on soil
that was rapidly becoming worn out.
Milking machines are now common.
Tractors are being used Tor blowing
and general farming. All modern ma
chinery is being introduced and there
by improving the conditions on the
farm.
But the progress is not measured by
these mechanical means. The real
progress is noticed in the organization
of the farmers of the county for the
better things on the farm. 1t is now an
exception rather than the rule to have
a man oppose any form of rural pro-
gress. Better roads, better and up.to-
date schools, better machinery, better
sociability, and better stock are some
OF the things most people stand for

Republican After Thought.

The New York Tribune, Republi-
can, in it's editorial on the election,
says:
The returns that are now at hand
constitute the most remarkable per-
sonal endorsement that has come to
a Democratic president since the
days of Andrew Jackson.
1t is relatively a minor thing
whether the few hundred votes that
will decide the electoral votes in
California or Minnesota fall to Mr..
Wilson or Mr.. Hughes. The very fact
that these great Republican states
have been in doubt to this moment in
dictates the extent of the failure of the
republican candidate and his party
and not less clearly the amazing tri-
umph of Mr.. Wilson.
There is a tendency to overesti-
mate the influence of the West in
the decision, and to ignore the verdict
of the East, of New England in par
ticular. Yet the vote of Massachu'
sets and Maine, the almost unbeliev'
able figures from New Hampshire, in
dictate that the same spirit which
was abroad in Kansas and Minnesots
was to be felt and seen in New Eng
land.
However much importance on
may attach to Mr.. Hughes failure
only deliberate and Intentional injus
tice could fail to observe the extent o
the personal triumph of Mr.. Wilson. HI
has done what none but his friends
and partisans believed he could do
and he has won an Endorsement II

Surprise Dinner.

(From the Laddonia Herald)
A number of relativer and friends
gathered at the home of Elmer Ak
ridge Tuesday with well filled bas-
kets and surprised Mrs F. M. Ak
ridge, mother of Mr.. Akridge, the
occasion being her birthday. It was
also the birthday of her brother,
John Moore, of Perry, who was pres
ent. A very pleasant day was spent
in conversation and other things
that go toward making such occa-
sions an ideal one. Owing to the
bad weather a number who were ex-
pected to come were unable to do so,
much to the regret of the entire par
ty.
The hour for departing came all
too soon, and each left wishing Mrs.
Akridge and Mr.. Moore many hap
by birthdays.
Those who enjoyed the occasion
were Mrs. Ida Scott, Fayette; John
Moore, Mr.. and Mrs Bette Moore
Mr.. and Mrs Jacob Barnes, Mr.. and
Mrs Field Akridge, Alaga and Grey
don Boyd and Fannie Barton.

portions of the nation which have
never before given a similar tribute to
a Democratic candidate for the pres
idency, save in years of Republican
fractional strife.
In the first hours of the count,
when Mr.. Wilson's defeat was con-
coded by newspapers which had sup
ported him most Loyalty and which
was written in all the returns then
available, the Tribune said that Mr.
Wilson had been rejected with his
policies. 1t was mistaken and it did
not believe that any such conclusion
can now be drawn from the election,
even if Mr.. Hughes succeeds Mr.Wil-
son by the tune of a few hundred
votes in two disputed states.
Such personal satisfaction as can
be drawn from the result belongs to
Mr.. Wilson; he is entitled to it. The
Tribune hoped there would be a
straight-out issue between Mr.. Will
lieved were Drawer and better. No
such issue was raised, because Mr..
Hughes steadfastly declined to raise
it. Had such an issue been fairly
raised, the Tribune believes that a
different answer might have been
had. But this is even open to chal-
lenge and permits no proof.
Whether Mr.. Wilson now wins OF
loses the real honors of the election
are his. Because the Tribune has op.
posed him most bitterly, it feels thai
it should recognize this fact mos
frankly, If MIR. Wilson finally loses
the present election, he will remain
the strongest man politically in the
nation, as much stronger than hi
party as Mr.. Hughes was weaker thar
his, man to be reckoned with polit
ically because of his hold upon pop
ular imagination and public approx
al.

B. Scanland, at Minneola, Mo. He
says that. contrary to Mr.. L. Roy

sage, he is not the owner of Minneola
Springs; is only an heir, an active
agent. He says his father, Harvey E.
Scanland, settled in Audrain county

WHY THIS HIGH COST or LIVING?
LET GEORGE DO IT"--NOT ALL
The Dealers, Middlemen and Gamblers
Working Worse than rabbit Foot Oh
the Public.

The speaker was asked to explain |
where the great difference goes that
is found between the producer and
the consumer, and where all these
differences occur.
He said it is a long story, but it is
one of lack of information, bad bust
ness methods and downright dishon-
esty, part of which has been explain
ed. He said the greatest loss seemed
to be from the time the products ar
rived at the commission house and
the time they leave it. He gave, as
general illustration, the farmer
bringing a basket of eggs to market
in which are the white eggs, the
little, big, clean, dirty, fresh,
Itolerably fresh and rotten.
Local dealers largely send them on
the same way to the commission
house, where men have to be en-
ployed to unpack, candle, sort, grade
and repack, and prepare for the va
riOus market demands. The COM
mission house must have some share
of the profits and when the bill is
returned it appears that the commits
sion man has robbed him. While, as
a matter of fact, all this extra work
had to be paid for, and most of it
might have been done before the eggs
left the farm, had the people at that
end of the line been so inclined. We
are living too much, the speaker said
in an age of Let George do it."
Storage Men Under Suspicion.
The speaker asserted reports were
to the effect also that cold storage
plants are in large way to blame
for high prices. 1t is suspected thai
an investigation will reveal many
things along this line.
! Growing what the market wants
and preparing it the way the market
! wants it is the farmers job, accord
ing to Jordan. To find the best marke
for the farmer should be the dealers
| job since the merchant is interested
s in the farmer to the extent of the
D farmers ability to buy, and his abil
Y ity to buy is measured exactly b!
= what he gets for what his farm pro
e duces. In face of these facts, i
e would seem only matter of business
2 to get him the high dollar instead o
l the low dollar. This, said he, can b,

On the other hand those who own

She Should Help Save Herself, But

notice your interesting editorial
in Wednesdays Republic on "St.
Louis and Prohibition" You certain
ly have cracked the nut and picked
the kernel from the inside.
st. Louis must have the support
and the business of a great rural ter
ritory adjacent to develop into the
great city it is possible for her to
become, and when nearly all of this
territory is dry, and what is left is
rapidly getting dry, can st. Louis
hope to secure her share of this great
business if she remains antagonistic
to the deepest moral feelings and be-
liefs and experiences of this vast ar
my of purchasers?
Your Business Mems League, your
Real Estate Exchange, and your
/ Bankers Association all have de-
Inounced Prohibition; your papers
have educated the people, or assisted,
to vote against it until the dry cote
in st. Louis this year was almost
nothing. And yet prohibition is COM
ing; it has come in all the rest of
Missouri and is now bombarding the
very gates of the city, and as you
say, what are you going to do about
it? Kansas City is an energetic prog
ressive city and is bidding against
st. Louis for the trade of the i'm.
mense Southwest territory. Kansas
City has voted dry. This vast terri
tory is nearly all dry what are you
going to do about it?" Do you know
that already the slogan has started
Buy your goods in dry ?"Wherc
will the bulk of this trade natural!
go? And another thing of immense
vital interest to St. Louis: Every BIZ
city depends largely for it's futur,
) on the country boys who leave thu
farms and locate in the cities 70
larger opportunities, and parents o
these boys and these boys themselve
are going to locate in Kansas City
