The Press Was In Error

The Midland Mail of last week
says that the Press was in error
in stating that Solon and Gilchrist
was the. battery for Midland in the
game in which they took Philips
scalp. The Press stands correct
ed and it was certainly not our in
tention to take any credit from
Welch. the Midland pitcher who
did the twirling for that team,
but we were simply misinformed
and not by either of the boys who
played with Midland. The Mail
says that Ted was at his usual po-
sition at short, while Bull was be-
hind the bat, and that both the
Kadoka boys played a good game.

easily 60 per cent. normal. Some
of the foreign loans will be ma
turing soon, and that will start
more capital moving.
Then we need to remember
that $3.50 wheat, and $40 corn,
and 80-cent oats were the excep-
ton, and were wartime values
We thought that that sort Of
thing would last forever, so we
advanced the price Of land far
beyond where it can reasonably
stay, and bought more land that
we thought we might need. not
thinking that the War was burn
ing up more wealth than the ex-
cessive values we were adding
to the land. After all is said
and done, it is the land that
stays where it is and has to bear
the burden of the taxes for war.
In addition. we borrowed a few
billions from the banks, which
billions belonged to the people,
Just to pay down on high priced
land or for new cars, and now
the banks want their money.
1t is a bad situation, but not
SO bad that we shall not recover.
We are going to need patience,
and charity, and optimism, and
hard work, and lot of other
good things, to tide us over.

Taxes are certain to ne high for
years to come. We had better
face the facts. People seldom
fail who are brave enough to
face facts, for it stiffans the
spine. The American Farmer
and his Good Wife are the very
people who are going to do their
part to pull us all out of the
National Slough Of Despond.
Just as our fathers and grand
fathers faced the financial chaos
of their times. and turned it
into order. SO will we. In the
meantime there are two things
we can do to help:
Let's stop talking to each
other about hard times. We are
not starving yet, and there is nc
prospects of that. If we keep
on suggesting to each other that
things are going to the devil,
it will grease the slide to tina,
state of things.
Then we must keep suggesting
to each other that we believe il
each other; pledge each other
our mutual faith. to our Country
and the God above us, that We
will stay on the job and plug ant

JUST As OUR GRANDPA.
THEIRS THOUGHT!
They Talked Hard Times After
ciyil War. but Better Days
Came ~ Truly rs Better
Days Are Sure~t"
Come IL is.


The date was 1867. The place
was Northern Missouri. The
Civil War was two years away.
The persons were two farmers
sitting together on worm
fence. The theme was the only
one they knew HARD TIMES!
You know what they were say
ing. Their world of finance was
warped and twisted. Interest
: rates were high and money al
most impossible to get. Their
good wives were gathering up
eggs and selling them for 8
cents per dozen They had to
beg the dealer to buy their pork.
Their corn was worth II cents
and their oats were not worth
hauling away over the poor
roads.
1t was a hard time. What did
they do? They faced the stu
alton with hope and hard work;
and in a few years their farms
were paid for. their children
educated. and they had a com
Portable nest built for old age
But in 1867 the clouds of gloom
hung close over their p1zzled
heads
In 1893 the sons Of those two
farmers were sitting near the
same place discussing hard
times. They even went SO far
rs to threaten to move off the
farms. Nothing paid. Those
were black times for the man
who was trying to pay for his
farm. Those discouraged farm
ers talked the language of their
fathers a generation before.
That was in 1898. Today those
two farmers have good farms,
and have succeeded in giving
their children a better chance
in the world than they them.
selves had. and they have had
in all, more Injuries than then
fathers had comforts.
Today the grandsons of the
farmers of 1867 are sitting il
their automobiles talking har,
times. and poor markets. and low
prices. They are talking th'
language of their fathers, Abra
ham Lincoln had a poem writer
by a Scotchman which he KEEP
