Why Life Is Worth Living.
From the Columbus Dispatch.

The old Arab who refused to have an operation to restore his
eyesight, on the ground that he had seen so much of the world he was
tired Of it, ought to have lived in this day and age. For. verify. there is
something new to be seen. Who among us does not want to live a few
years longer, just to see what comes out Of the tangled conditions that
existstoday?
Pick up any copy of any newspaper, and glance at the headlines.
A dozen wars going on, a thousand complications in the affairs of men
and nations, a million strange situations into which the race has
fallen. So much money in the world it is a burden to carry it around,
it seems; a market basket full Of money for a market basket full Of
yegetabes-that is the current price of foodstuffs-with everybody
complaining. And yet the ships bringing in millions of dollars worth
of diamonds, the shops filled to the ceiling with Injuries, the streets
and roads janmed with pleasure cars--and folks refusing to work for
less than 81 an hour. Verify it is a strange conditions, and it is going
to be worth all the suffering it costs to live on, just to see the finish.
We used to imagine that if we We're old and disabled and had
never penny in the world, and suffered from all manner Of physical
infirmities, we could pray to be taken away, to obtain eternal relief
from it all. But we hayev changed our mind in regard to it; we want
to live, however burdensome life may become; indeed, it occurs to us
that we would be willing to undergo all manner Of physical torments
a few years longr out of sheer curiosity. We are that much interested
in how the world is finally gong TO straighten itself out-for We are
eptimist enough to believe that it will straighten itself out.

Oil in Eastern Locomotives.

From the New York Evening Sun.
The reported plan of the Seaboard Air
Linz to burn oil in $50 of its locomotives
will bring oil fuel into its first extensive
use on lines east of the Mississippi. IL the.
innovation works we'll q revolution in
eastern railroad methods may result.
Coal mining in the present unreliable
state of that labor ridden industry forms
a poor reliance for the fuel supply of the
railroads. The coal is of excessive cost
and they cannot rely upon the supply to
continue IN view of strikes and like prob
able interruptions. Oil mainly digs itself
and can be moved with less difficulty thar
coal by sea or land. Not one but many
countries compete to supply it. It's usa
greatly diminishes the use for that other
commodity which its possessors make SO

THE TRUTH ABOUT

Being Robbed.

Pierre, S. D.. Nov. 3.-Refuting a
claim made by a certain class
of newspapers in South Dakota
that the farmers of this state
were being robbed" i'll the matter of
the price paid for wheat. as compared
with the price paid in North Dakota,
Don Livingston, state director of mar

ment:
An attempt is being made to con-
vince South Dakota farmers that they
are receiving a lower price for their
WHEAT than is paid to North Dakota
farmers. This is a SANDER on the coed
name of South Dakota and wholly
untrue.
In order to verify oT refute the
statement, this office sent out a letter
to the grain buyers of the state asking
for a record of prices paid fer wheat
during the week of October 4, giving
test, weight, grade, dock; name of
farmer, date of check, and on what
bank drawn.

received w from the elevators at

and the other information as above
asked for. In all but a very few cases
the letters indicate that the grain men
are paying a premium over the gov
price. There are, no doubt
individuals who are unfair in the price
paid and are paying much less than the
value of the wheat Swill warrant,
