NOTICE TO FARMERS.

The next cooperative shipments
will be as follows:
Sorghum-Tuesday, Nov. 10Th.
Saturday, November 23rd
Hogs-Friday. December 18th.
/ am offered SOC per of 12ib gross
At present for sorghum and can not
say that we viii be able 10 get higher
prices on shipping day. l think how
ever that good sorghum will be a
better price at this time.
The cattle shipment will be last be-
fore spring.
On hog shipping day the weight re-
quirements will be above 100 lbs, and
IN nice shipping order. AL hogs be
low this weight will be shipped next
April.
The corn market is around 81. Is to
Sl.25 per bushel, and no farmer in La
fayette County can afford to haul com
10 town at these prices, when we have
such high hog markets and better
prospects for higher spring market
than we have had in years. Good
hogs will command good prices for
some time to come and these farmers
who buy corn and feed hogs instead of
selling corn and marketing light
shoats, will be the ones who make the
greatest profits. For these reasons we
are encouraging the sale of corn
among farmers instead of shipping
it.
The market for sorghum seed. peas
and peanuts hasn't opened up yet,
and don't get in a hurry and rush
these products on the market because
prices are sure to be better as the
season advances.
We are listing hogs now for the
spring market and if you have shoates
that you intend getting in shape and
expect to ship comparatively, please
list them with me.

THE TELEPHONE.

A voice across the telephone
Can make or mar the day;
Be careful Of the tone you use,
And think Of what you say.
The girl who answers Central"
Has Z score Of lines To mind;
Mistakes are sure to happen,
So be patient and be kind.
For life il like a garden,
Where our daily acts are grown;
And as nature hath ordained il,
- We win reap as we have sown.
Your pleasant smile can not be seen,
Or known your kindly heart;
For. people at the telephone
Are often miles apart
Then sow a smile and reap smile
And in the end you'll fiEd
That nothing pays more interest
Than the art Of being kind

W AhING UP.

The people of this community are
waxing up.
Each day sees them take a step
forward, 4 step IN advance, a step in
to the future.
And at every step they acquire
fresh knowledge-knowledge which in
itself advances them yet another step
on the road to superior intelligence.
The most noticeable feature of this
awakening is the wide interest that
Is beng taken In the advertisements
of mercantile houses.
This Is an advertising age, and the
"ad' habit has gnpped not only the
merchant, but the consumer. 1t is
growing with leaps and bounds.
1t Is hopeful sign, sign of ex-
panding intellect on the part of the
people, FOR In no other way can the
consumer hope TO acquire that degree
Of commercial knowledge necessary to
d JuOcious expenditure of funds.
There are merchants in this town
VINO are meeting this desire of the
people, VINO are alive to the require
ments Of their patrons, and who are
DONG their quota Of the good work
which Is making Of this community
of superior intelligence and worth.
And tins Is Jet another hopeful

Der Of good people are il deep
distress through inability 70 re-
ceive spiritual mipistration in
the language they best under
stand and which has been the
medium Of all their religious in
struction. However, we cannot
refrain from observing that these
real and severe hardships under
which parts Of the church are
at present laboring are not un-
mixed with blessings. Divine
Providence moves in mysterious
ways. and it seems that the Al
mighty is for the general vel
fare Of His holy cause by com.
pulsion, driving portions Of our
beloved church to adopt methods
and assume paths against the
dire need Of which they had been
blinded by training, sentiment
and custom. The abrupt and
compulsory REIMBURSEMENT of
traditional methods is painful,
but it may be beneficial. We
are optimistic enough to believe
that the accelerated transition
from the German language as a
vehicle Of worship to the Ian
guage of the country is . pro-
nounced blessing and will open
up to our Church . splendid Wis.,
t. Of tremendous missionary op-
portunity. It is bound to revo-
lutionize the missionary view.
point Of those who. alas, have
chung too long to the idea that
the duty Of the Lutheran Church
on the field Of home missions
consisted Ia gathering in the
stray Lutherans, particularly
those Of German extraction, and
Iperpetuating among them, willy.
nilly, the worship of God in the
language Of their fathers.
