MUSSELL SHELLS
$44 PER TON

Newport, Oct. 10.-Owing
to the increased demand for
labor and high prices paid in
all lines, the Chalmers button
factory of this place which has
an equipment of more than 100
machines, has been able to OPP
crate only 80 saws during the
past month. In order to induce
more men to take up the work
the company has made certain
changes in the testing of
blanks which will enable the
operatives to make more than
10 per cent above the former
price received on piece work.
To meet the increased scar
city of shells the factory has
increased the price of mussel
shells from $40 to $44 per
i ton.

is to buy the entire newspaper
plant and the building it is in.
We stand pat on this, and if
this is worth anything to Mr..
Detherow, he is welcome to tell
the whole world about it if he
desires to do so.
Detherow makes the plea
that he used to get space in
The journal free" We con-
fess with some degree ofshame
that this is true, because we
did not then know the charac-
ter of man he is. 1t has always
been our policy to be absolute
ly fair and square with every
body and we were always fair
with Detherow, but he has
shown that he is not man
enough to appreciate this kind
of treatment.
Detherow's insinuation that
The Journal is under the con-
troll of "the Bosses" is absolu-
tely and unqualifiedly a lie.
This paper is under the control
of nobody but its editor, and
never hesitates to express its
own opinion freely and openly.
The Journal is a Democratic
newspaper because its editor is
lifelong Democrat who hon
estly and sincerely believes in
the great fundamental princip-
les of Democracy. Some of the
greatest men America ever pro-
duced were Democrats and the
history of the nation is replete
with the achievements of Dem
ocracy. 1t is a party who does
things, and is not a party made
up of sore-headed knockers so
devoid of energy as to want
the government to feed and
cIothe them, as the Socialists
do.
The Journal is a Democratic
newspaper, owned and edited
by a Democrat, and gets its
support principally from peo-
pie who are Democrats. True,
we have number of patrons
who are Republicans, but SO far
as we know, only three Social
lists subscribe and pay for this
paper. Being a Democratic
newspaper and not interested
in Socialism, but considering it
only a wild dream, or as the
late Senator Jeff Davis said,
Darn fooiishness gone to
seed" why should we throw
our columns wide open for the
Socialists to knife either the
Democratic or the Republican
party?
If Mr.. Detherow were pub
fishing a Socialist paper, do you
suppose he would allow Demo
Gratis the free and unlimited
use of his columns to knife the
Socialist party? Not much.
In some Of the circulars got
ten out recently dealing with
this paper and some of the
Democratic nominees, he has
proven himself absolutely de
void of all the principles of
honor and fairness.
His attack upon S. A. Moore,
one of the Democratic nomi-
nees for representative, is as
dirty and false as could have
been conceived by the dirtiest
imp in hades.
If Detherow ever had a

Business Methods
Useful On Farm

Prof. George A, Starring. of the
state college at Brookings. has this
to say of business methods on the
farm:
Farming is a business; farm cor.
respondence should therefore be
business-like. An effective business
letter is written upon printed stat
ionery. preferably with a typewriter
Some advantage for printed form
letterheads are: % they force a
favorable impression upon the re-
cipient; GU they advertise the farm
stead more than upheaded letters,
81 they create family pride in the
farm; (4) they identify the writer
even though his signature may not
be legible: and 81 they are just as
cheap a. any other sort and more
convenient.
Good letterheads may be obtained
of anv town printer at. reasonable
cost. Local printers are always
ready to offer suggestions in the
way OF headings, choice of paper
color of ink, etc.

HOUSE AS

Gathering Of Patrons in Accord.
ance With New Idea In
School Development

The meeting Of the patrons of the
city schools, held at the high school
assembly last week, drew out a
large crowd Of those interested in
what is being done in the public
school. A program Of music was
given in connection with the exhib-
its sho Sn and during the evening
light refreshments were served.
the gathering being along the lines
of those now conducted in many
schools, where the school house is
used as a community social center.
The following from the Aberdeen
American has reference to q new
school building now under con
struction in that CITY. which is in
accordance with this new idea in
school development:
Aberdeen's newest school building
is to embody an idea which will
place it ahead Of anything in the
state in point Of usefulness.
II is to be erected as much for use
as a community gathering place as
for a school. This is the new idea
in school development. Let the
people use the buildings. Keep them
working all the time. The taxpayers
pay for them, let them use them.
This is to have an auditorium cap.
able of seating 800 persons when
eve the people Of that part of the
city desire to gather. There will be
a stage. dressing rooms and kitchen
cite with facilities for cooking and
serving food. 1t will become the
center of social and civic gatherings
of many kinds and that is what it is
intended for.

Stock Market
Attracts Dealers

Increased growth in the business
Of raising livestock in this locality
MAY be readily understood after a
visit to the local wards of Palmer &
Schriver. These yards are located
lust south of the C. & N. w. yards,
and they comprise what was the
Foley, Livingston and Wyland pro-
perties, divided into three or four
separate corrals. This firm had on
hand SATURDAY. some 400 head of cat
tie. some of them being fed for mar
ket, and some for sale to supply the
local summer demand. They are
also feeding a large number of hogs.
This local market has been a
busy one this winter, as this firm
alone handled 5000 head of cattle
from May to January. They have
made a large local market for the
sale of live stock and feed, having
bought 5000 bushels of corn and
500 tons of hav.
Their yards is a sort of clearing
house for the livestock business.
They buy and feed for shipment to
the big markets. and also supply
local dealers with any kind they want
for grazing or feeding.
This business has grown to be so
extensive in recent years that with
cut these private yards, the regular
railroad shipping corrals would be
wholly inadequate. But with that,
the business of producing livestock
is just nicely started in Hand county.
With the opening up and develop
ment of farms upon the countv's
thousands of acres of vacant lands.
this business NAV easily be doubled.

Is There Any Connection


In the United States one out of

infants dies before reaching that
age.
In the United States women have
been denied the right to vote ex-

In New Zealand the women have
been exercising full suffrage rights
for many years.
Is there any connection between
these facts?
Laws are made by lawmakers
elected by those who vote. The
women of the United States have
had little voice in the election of
law makers. Those of new Zealand
have had an equal voice.
