at the big world demand and what
they will do will be aplenty when they
get going.
Sugar at 80 cents and increased
prices of all foods is the cheerful pre-
diction of E. F. Bushnell of New
York, food expert. Decreased pro-
duction is Mr.. Bushnell's reason. We
call Bushnell Grape hanger.
Rhode Island has the distinction of
being the smallest state. 1t may also
be the most pOpulous as the legisla-
ture passed a four per cent law after
gravely defining it as non-intoxicat-
/ ing. If one doesn't drink too much.)
The eternal truth of that old saw
Talk is cheap but it takes money to
buy good whisky" is becoming pain
fully more evident as the days go by.
How many good men have mourn
fully said, They can take the whisky
but | would like good glass of beer"
Despite the backward season the
home-brew crop will likely be large.
The ancient who made two blades
of grass grow where one grew before
is likely to have his powers tested this
spring.
We see that the effort to signal
Mars from Cedar Creek, Nebraska,
was a failure. This won't surprise
anybody.
-ooO-
Speaking of overall clubs now the
rage in the cities our farmers have
been having them for years and new
er said a word about it.
-OOO-
The administration papers are say
ing that Johnson's big victory in Neb-
raska was due to his swinging the
"big German vote" If this is true
the stick is tarred at both ends as
Wilson pulled the same vote in '16 on
the issue, "He kept us out of war;
Whatever that pro element amounted
to it was out of luck (colloquially
speaking) when America got in the
war and it will likewise be out of
luck if it expects to dominate bull
dog Hiram of California You tell 'em!
DOB
Bryan beat Hitchcock in Nebraska
also. Some more of the big German
vote,' no doubt.
A live paper generally means
live town. We have FIT. Atkinson in
mind when we say this. That city in
creased 26.8 per cent in ten years and
now has population of 4915. The
paper part of it is the Union which is
about the best reaching our exchange
desk and we get lot of EN- The
live part of it is reflected in the high
class local advertising the Union car
ries. Not much of it and that at rel
atively high rate but, Gosh!-how it
does sparkle. The Fort, as they call
it, has number of healthy industries
which accounts for the growth.

Our brilliant young friend on the
Bloomington Record again exhausts
himself in half column of railing at
the Herald, it's editor, the republican
party and things in general from hell
to breakfast. Editor Bishop has a
facile habit of rewriting our editor
ials in manner that he may knock
them down more easily before his
readers. If he will print verbatim
what he comments on the Herald will
take the time and trouble to answer
him. Otherwise we must wait for
fairness to us, honesty to his readers
and broadness with himself from the
entrepeneur of journalism in West
Grant
The Record, however, is nothing
if not amusing and did not the Her
aid steel draw sparks from the in
dubitable flint Of the Record editors
head at least bi-monthly the writer
would sadly assume that he had lost
his punch and was fit only for infant
class reporting. We would gladly re-
print the Records illusions were it
not for their extreme verbosity In
this as in all things we are generous
and our readers would surely find the
Record as funny as we do.
Bro. Bishop, we take it, isn't going
to burn his bridges after all to trail
the ubiquitous Hoover who finally
landed like gasping fish on the re-
publican bank of the political stream
Perhaps Bishop like other worthy
democrats) feels grieved, not to say
disappointed, at Herbert's fickleness.
Or perhaps he sees how fragile the
hair that holds the sword over his po-
litical head. In any event he is shout
ing democracy again and in this we
must pause and admire Deliver us
forever from the man who pursues
each passing fancy and isn't to be
found where he is put"

Steadfastness is Bryan quality
and thing to be admired When it
was sixteen to one" sixteen to one
it was and the devil take the gold bug
or others who disagreed So likewise
on that issue of Imperialism that be-
logged the air just four years later
But did William lay down even though
bludgeoning defeat had twice bowed
his head? He did not. Instead he
came back in 1908 for another trim
ming although better memories than
ours must recite the issue. Now Bill
is no longer, "the peerless leader
that symbol of youthful sprightliness
thine, alas. lays a heavy hand on all
of u.s. but has become by legerde-
main, the "beerless leader" and woe
betide Governor Edwards or similar
VETS who would hurl democracy
back into the abyss of the barroom.
