Dear Sir: am in the city you once

There was light frost here the first Of

their disgust when they reached a
depth of a couple of hundred feet

like asafoetida and smelled like
commercial fertilizer. The results
that far only made them more

The decline in prices from the
wartime peak to present low levels
came as a surprise to almost every
one, and certainly the rapidity of
the descent caught everybody.
But the man who kept well post
ed on general conditions in this
country and abroad had the edge
on the man who did not know
what was going on. In other
words the man who read his mar
ket paper religiously knew that
high prices could not last, and was
better able to meet the situation
when 1t did come, although of
course he could not tell exactly
when the crisis was at hand. To
be forewarned is to be forearmed
and if we are to profit by past
experiences the wide awake man
will realize that he must constant
ly keep posted on the market stu
alton as long as he has anything
to sell or desires to make purchases.
The sum of $5 invested in a sub
scription to the Daily Drovers
Telegram can easily save a man
many times that amount. 1t is a
daily visit to the stock yards and
board Of trade as well as a daily
review Of what is happening in
the outside world, and is the best
means Of keeping posted.

could drink it after a while with.

to be common for citizen to say
to a stranger, "Well, let's go over

they reached the well Mr.. Citizen

his mouth to indicate how good
it was. Not suspecting anything

A TEST OF FAITH
chattanooga News.)

We have frequent occasion to pro-
test against the efforts Of japan to
impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples, yet we have thus far failed
to exemplify the ideals which we rec
ommend to Japan. II we should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, in accordance with our repeated
promises, we could the more consist
emily ask japan 10 follow a similar
course toward Shantung, Manchuria
and Siberia. Our plea would have a
great deal more force II we could
make II with clean hands. TO say that
the Philippines are not ready for In
dependence Is merely to express an
arbitrary, gratuitOus opinion. 1t is
perfectly easy TO create conditions
in ones own mInd-that no people
ever could comply with. Our delay
about respecting our own pledge is a
reflection on our national good faith
and a constant Invitation to interna-
tional complications In the far east.
