AT Mayfield recently forty.four
boys arranged with a bank in
that city to buy car load of Sc
lect Holstein cows from Wiscon-
sin, one Of the largest dairy States
in the Union. The boys were
given an opportunity to pay for
the cows with three-fourths of
the money they realize from the
sale of the milk. The cows cost
an average of 3 l3S. 90 per head.
These cows give from six to eight
gallons of good milk per day, and
are also good beef cattle, being
of the proper build and size. The
average weight of the cows is
past 200 pounds each.
An arrangement of this kind
would be an excellent thing for
Powell county boys. There is
nothing so profitable to our farm.
ers as dairy farming, and no 9th.
er breed of cows So profitable as
the Holsteins, and nothing builds
up the farm so fast as the dairy.
Shippers Of cream from here
to the Louisville market last
week received 45 cents per pound
for the butter-fat in the cream.
The dairy business is certainly
worth trying.

food products go round is to al.
low the speculator 60 out at crop
time and tell the farmer. who is
not always well Informed, that
his products are apt if not sure
to go lower, and advise a sale, at
his price, which the farmer in
most cases, is already compelled
to do. The price is then put up
until the poor cannot pay the
price and must cut every meal
short of what he needs to eat and
properly sustain life. Often they
are forced to go very hungry and
ragged. The rich, many of whom
do not work lick, can buy all
they want despite any scarcity
and dine at a kings table three
times day. Thissystem of max
ing food products cost is not right,
1t is inhuman, and will! cause
food riots in this country as in
England. The situation is grave
and should be promptly met.
Raising the price of -four from
SO 90 per hundred to So 90 per
hundred does not make another
pound of flour, and what is said
of flour may also he said of every
thing else we must buy. In war
times 1t seems = us more atten-
tion of this government should be
given in getting the most feed
possible to the man who must
work. This method should tie
by curtailing the spectators
profits; not by increasing the
farmers loss by production, who
only makes ends meet by hard
labor and the deprivation in his
own home of what he himself
produces. We know this TO he
the exact situation to-day with
nine. tenths of the farmers of our
acquaintance.
When farming can be carried
on by business men upon bust
ness principles, yielding interest
on the outlay and profile TO the
investor like other businSSs, then
there will be an increase ia food
products. This they have never
been able to do, hence they have
sough, other lines nt business
and will continue to do so, des-
p''e all forms oIpatriotism they
nav display.

Kentucky, upon which only the

methods, does-not pay legal in.
terest on the original investment,
so we are informed.
Money a. farming can only be
gained BY depicting the soil or
at the expense of labor of the
farmer himself without an &C.
counting. So Improbable has it
always been that nine.tenths of
the farmers are to.d day compelled
to sci. their crops at harvest
time to dealers and spectators,
often having to buy back later
these same products in manu-
featured form.
The existing conditions to-day
in some cases are enough to ex.
asperate all of us farmers. Take
the flour situation as it is for an
example:
There are sixty pounds in
bushel of wheat. The farmer
last wear at harvest time, when
he had to sell it, received around
one dollar per bushel for this
wheat. To make calculations
easv we will say he received two
cents per pound for it, which
would be $l.20 per bushel.
To make 100 pounds of flour, it
requires only two and half
bushels of wheat. This much
wheat makes in addition to the
100 pounds of -four, 80 pounds of
feed.
The speculation buys this wheat
and puts it in warehouse until
now when the farmer has to have
some of this -four, which is SELL
ing at retail to the consumer at
$500 per hundred. Let's now
see what the farmer got out of
the wheat ia this -four and what
the other fellow is getting

farmer got for raising it.

Hold Themselves Ready

- Washington, July. 9.-The first
draft of American citizenship army
for war service will be for 687, 900
men, the war department an
.- 81 nounced today. These will be
singled out from the great registra-
ton roll. The number recommended
by the war department is Just enough
to fill the regular army to war
strength, fill the national guard to- it's
full strength and provide the levy of
SOC, 700 men for cantonment camps. It
was learned from official sources to-
day that the first men drafted will be
put into the regular army and the ma
tional guard, while the others will be
sent to the cantonment camps to make
up the 100000 of the draft army. It is
possible that every one of the $780,
900 men will be drawn and thus the
order in which men must respond to
the call will. be known at once. Aftei
the draft. the local exemption boards
will begin to call up the men and pass
upon them until the quota is furnish
ed. The second draft will begin on the
list where the first left off. Thirty-two
states are today racing toward the
draft day and upon the speed of the
slowest state depends the date of the
draft. By noon today 16 states had
wired that all preparations were COM
plete for the actual draft and the ar
rival of these reports gave rise to the
hope that General Crowder may be
able to set the drawing for a day late
this week, possibly Saturday.

ESTABLISH AUTO BUS SERVICE
Three Daily Round Trips Will Be
Made Between Sank Centre and
Walker, Minnesota. -

Starting today, July IL, the Park
Region Auto Service Company IF. B.
Moxham, general manager, will start
"a bus service between Sank Centre
and Walker, MINI. The company have
+been operating between Wadena, and
Walker for: the. past six weeks, and
with the addition of two more cars
there will be three complete round
trips between Sank Centre each day,
morning, afternoon and evening. The
company will charge the very reason
enable sum of four cents per mile,
with a minimum charge of Is cents.
Passengers will be picked up any
where along the route and stops will
be made anywhere: The route travel
|: ed will be the splendid highway be-
tween thees points. The BUSES are
commodious and comfortable White
autos carrying IL passengers.
=, Mr.. Moxham stated to the Herald
I that they expected to operate every
day during the year. If they can do
this the very bum passenger service
on. the "K" line will not be felt to
such an extent as in the past. The
+ same people back of the Park Region
service operated their cars every day
last winter on the Iron range.
! Mr.. Moxham stated also that the
company expects in the near future
to establish line between Sank Cen
ire and st. Cloud and very likely be-
tween Sank Centre. and Morris, and
possible between Sank Centre and
Little Falls. The Herald understands
that service of this sort has been very
successful in other parts of the coun-
try and can see no good reason why it
it should not succeed here. d"
The company have contracted fol
advertising space in the Herald and
it will pay to follow their announce
ments closely each week. :
