John Caldow: II came in to pay up
for The Saturday News for another
year. It's a paper that suits me in
fine shape. / don't want to miss
any numbers"
Mrs. Nancy Bigelow: II want you
to continue The Saturday News to my
address, and here's the wherewith for
it for another year. We have had it
in u home so long, and it's the only
paper that we get regularly, one year
with another that I'd feel lost with
out it,"
Geo. ]. Clark (Hayti, having driv-
en- up with an auto): Eyes, sir, the
roads are rutty and rough but there
lis no place that gives an auto any
particular trouble in getting over.
The time will average slow, of course,
compared with fine roads-but then,
it's faster than the old-fashioned OK
team"
Don Bannister (having made an
auto trip to South Shore Monday:
Rough, sir, rough, in many places,
but an auto can get over the roads in
fair shape, nevertheless. If we don't
get any more rain for a week or so,
and if a little more work in the way
of dragging were done, the roads
would again be in excellent condition.

a year to me. At any rate, I'm going
to risk it--so here's the cash. l like
its general tone. / hope / continue to

ing my old home paper, published at
Mendoza, Ill. ! have been a subscriber
to it for Twenty-Five years, and I still
get it in my home. Ii The Saturday
News sticks by me as long as that.
We'll both be getting along in years
by that time
Mrs. Encie P. Hopkins. EVERY
body in III household, including our
guests, reads The Saturday News, es-
pecials the editorial features, which
we regard as among the most striking
and .forceful examples of journalism
that have come under our observation.
Personally, being somewhat interest
ed in grains, ] hope that the country
will come to its way of thinking con
corning the suppression of gambling
in farm products. For years we have
noticed that after the grains are fair
Iy well out of the hands of the farm
ers, prices begin to advance and keep
On advancing, with spasmodic varia-
tions, until nearly the time when new
grain is ready for the markets, when
prices tumble to a much lower level,
remaining there until the farmers are
again without much grain in their
granaries, when once 0 the speeu-
lators and gamblers begin their pro
cess of manipulation to catch the I'M
wary. 1T is criminal, as / view it, to
permit these gamblers to continue
their nefarious methods
