WHAT'S WHAT AND WHY
Enormous Shr1nkage of Amount of Grain
Used by Liquor Interests
Explained.

How much would you consider this
place WORTH asked the stranger. Il
wouldn't look at a roupee lessn $4,000
spot cash." replied the owner squaring
himself up and looking serious. well
rejoined the stranger as he made note of
the figures, II guess that is about right
l am the assessor"
Gosh Almighty! I'd sell the hull out
fit for $780, give a years time without
interest, and take my pay in toadstools. -
1t makes a difference who's who and
why.
For years. the liquor interests. in or
der to make case, have claimed to use
over 600,OO0,0OO bushels of the very fin
est selected barley, corn, rye and other
grains, annually. War came. 1t found
our wheat reserve SS,OOO,OOO bushels
short, our corn reserve $50, 600, 900 BUSH
els short with a light crop prospect At
tention instantly turned to the boastful
consumer of over 6OO,0O0,OOO bushels of
our selected grains. and demanded that
the waste be stopped.
Gosh amighty!" gasped Brown Bot
ties, with awkward humility. 1--WE don't
use more than 65,OOO,OOO bushels at the
outside. and most Of that is screenings,
and gritS, and waste"
It makes a difference what's what and
whv
What is the truth? The liquor inter-
ests use vastly less grain than they for
mer1y claimed, and vastly more than
they now admit. Prof. Irving Fisher of
the Economics Department at Yale esti-
mates that National Prohibition would
save 100000 loaves Of bread a day
1t would be equal to adding 100000
acres of wheat to our crop without call
ing an extra farm hand. or adding a dol
lar of expenses, or taking a single acre
of ground. Since the grain is already
being planted and harvested it is only
a question of using it instead of wasting
it after it is put on the market.

TWO BIG SHOWS COMBINED
GolImar Brothers Circus; Jas Patter.
son Wild Animal Show.

The big and well known Gollmar
Bros Circus has annexed another
startling feature this season, James
Patterson Trained Wild Animal Show,
which now makes this modern tented
temple wonders one of the largest
shows on the road.
The coming of this big double circus
and Menagerie this season means for
the people of Willmar and the sur
rounding country all that is clean,
moral, big and startling in the way of
circus and wild animal exhibitions.
The Gollmar Brothers never in their
history tolerated games, graft or short
change and Honest Jim" Patterson,
as he is best known, was always a
close competitor to the Gollmar Bros.
in giving clean and honest amuse-
ment and now that they have consol-
idated, the public will reap the bene-
fit by seeing these two big popular
shows, under one mammoth tent, for
the one price of admission. They are
giving the usual one mile of Free
Street Parade, and will exhibit twice
daily, rain or shine, in Willmar OH

furnished with pamphlets giving full de-
tails regarding the Third Annual First
National" Corn Show for distribution
among their farmer clients. The show
will be held in St. Paul, Minnesota, De-
cember to IS, 1917. The growing of
more corn and the raising of more live
stock is especially desirable at this time.
While the increased production of wheat
grains and vegetables of all kinds is i'm
perative to meet the demands Of the
people, the products and manufactured
by-products derived from the corn and

pensable.
