OF considerable interest to the folE
of oui. vicinity is the farmers meet
ings at the hall in Kampeska, March
IL. All farmers and their friends are
cordially invited to attend, in fact
urged to do so. An all day session is
planned, consisting of social fellow
ship, addresses, discussions and a
regular country dinner. Prof Palm
has said that these dinners vt Kan
peska gotten together by Il farm
ladies h~ereabouts have got any hotel
or restaurant in the state beat a mile,
not casting any reflections at all,
either, upon these institutions of our
fair state. Mr.. and Mrs. Palm will
be present and talk to those attending
and it is planned to have other good
speakers.
We believe all the ladies are re-
quested to bring edibles.
I am in receipt of n of the farm
account books given out to men in
that business by the Peoples Savings
Bank, l believe if used intelligently
it will add interest to the farm opera
lions and as well keep all needed rec
ords. Here's hoping that every farm
or will so well succeed this year that
he will have to pay a snug sum into
the U, s.. treasury via the income tax
route next spring.
If barley keeps going up it will only
take a few bushels to turn the trick,
that is, unless we have to pay $3.50
a month for a little help to shock
and thresh it
And / take it barley may not be so
high next fall, so don't forget the
ly acreage. The wheat we have, no
doubt the dutiful thing to do is to
haul it in and sell so that the mil
lers can have it for -four. Mr., Will
son has fixed the price by proclama-
tion so that all one will get by hold
ing it is a further shrinking in weight
Mr.. August Melchert no doubt hit
the nail on the head when, in CONVEX
sation with the writer. he said that
the principal ones, at least, ought, if
possible, to be 50 controlled that in
price they would not exceed wheat it
self, thus forcing the poor to buy food
stuffs higher in price than wheat
-four. Sugar is not 50 Important, he
believed, as -four stuffs. He believed
the present price of barley GU of rea.
son, that it must be the fruit OF specu
lation. A dollar for barley is equal
to $500 for wheat.
Well, there are spectators who
would corner, If possible, ones very
blood fer gain, but war, at least such
a one as we have OH hand at present
Is a nightly untoWard and abnormal
state, and this regulation business If
a job beset with difficulties,
A dance for the benefit of the Rec
Cross will be given in the hall Fri
day night.
