Tomorrow Afternoon;

This calls attention again to the

The old method OF conducting politics
was to stick closely to party in sup

workers. carefully maintaining party
organization. But today there Is little
attention paid to such things by candi-
dates or officers. and the old-time
party organs have practically disap-

both have come TO the conclusion that
newspaper publicity is a commercial
product to be purchased wherever the
customer desires, without in the least
affecting the political opinions of the
politicians or the newspapers. The

laws are largely responsible for this

Price Of Hay Land Increasing

Rental prices for hay land arc on
the raise, SO 1t is announced by realty
agents who have charge of non-resi-
dent land in this part OF the state.
This is said to be due to a greater
demand for hay land which induces
bidding on a rising scale. 1t is Just
the age-oId principle OF supply and
demand. AS demand increases, supply
decreases The only inducement con-
sidered efficient is to offer an increas-
ed price, which is usually done by
those who want the hay land.
Land owners who are familiar with
| rental prices in older sections OF the
| country have often marveled at the
low rentals of this locality. without
| giving any thought to the fact that
some years ago thousands of acres Of
vacant grass land here had no value
whatever. There was an over suppl,
or land, and an under supply Of live
stock. Today conditions are changing
have been changing for some time
The county has more live stock thar
ever before. and slowly. put surely
the vacant lands are being farmed OF
| fenced.
There are some townships nov
! where II is next to impossible to rem
! hay land, and farmers have to 60 sew
