Methodist Church Dedicated

Dillon's handsome Methodist church
was formally dedicated last Sunday
morning. the dedicatory sermon being
preached by Bishop Darlington. The
service was in the nature of a union
service, the other churches of the
town joining with their Methodist
brethren on this happy occasion.
Bishop Darlington preached a strong,
impressive and scholarly sermon and
for more than an hour held the un-
divided attention Of the large con-
gregation. The history of the church
and the unfortunate fire which de-
stroyed the handsome edifice the
struggles Of the congregation in re-
building are all SO familiar to Her
aid readers that it is not necessary
to repeat them on this occasion, and
now everybody, irrespective of de-
nomi1Htion, rejoices in the fact that
the members have overcome their diff
ficulties and once more have their
church clear of debt.

II SEE BY THE PAPER.

About % million copies of news
papers are now sold daily in the
United States. Practically everybody
reads a newspaper
Hence the average paper is read
by four persons. In many communi-
ties the popular paper has an aver
age of five readers for every copy
sold.
That should interest advertisers.
Incidentally, we wonder how many
times paper is read after you
throw it into your wastebasket and
before it reaches the machine that
makes it into pulp that, in turn, be-
comes strawboard or wrapping pa
per.
For who, except a rag-picker, can
resist glancing at the headlines of
newspaper, no matter how old it
may be or where it is discovered?
Housewives, who in changing
newspapers on pantry shelves stop
to read the headlines or look at the
pictures, will vouch for that.-Ex.

WITH THE FARMERS.
WISCONSIN 1921 WOOL POOL

Marked direct from grower to mill
with one fixed commission.
The agreement entered into for
the marketing of this years wool
clip provides that the National Wool
Warehouse & Storage Co., shall de-
duct from proceeds at time of sale, a
commission of three (3c) cents per
pound, which covers the expense of
storing and insuring for period of
five 90 months, if necessary; grad
ing into commercial lines, financing,
selling and guaranteeing sale ac-
counts. A charge Of Is cents a bag
per month plus insurance will be
charged for wool left unsold at the
end of the five months. The Wiscon-
sin Wool Pool will deduct not to ex-
coed 12c a pound for pooling expense.
The warehouse agrees to accom-
pany each consignor's returns with
individual grading sheet, showing
various grades ana selling price of
each grade, thus affording the grow
er an opportunity of knowing rela-
tive values of his commodity as we'll
as the manufacturers needs.
Do not use shipping tags for mark
ing shipments as they frequently
become lost and cause trouble.
Seven and one-half foot, 31a pound
sacks are furnished by the Ware
house Company to consignors at cost,
which at the present time is So cents
at Chicago.
Important: Do not put more than
one consignor's wool in one sack.
Pack sacks we'll, as they can be
handled to better advantage.
Freight need not be prepaid on
wool shipments. Freight will be
paid by the Warehouse Company and
deducted from returns.
There are few fundamental prin-
ciples involved in the marketing of
wool that may we'll be considered.
Wool must be graded into large COM
mercial lines in order to attract
buyers from large Wooden Mills. No
matter in what manner the wool is
marketed, it must be prepared in the
foregoing manner. Therefore, if
wool is sold locally it is purchased at
a price calculated to cover all of
these items of expense and profit to
spectators.
Wool is shorn in very short time,
but consumed throughout the entire
year. 1t is the policy of the wool
pool to distribute in an orderly man
ner, to feed the market rather than
to force it, and thus be a stabilizing
factor in the wool trade, and to exert
every effort to obtain actual value
for the grower.

FAIR TIME is NEAR.

1t will not be long before the fairs
will start. Fairs are held for their
educational value. Few fair associa-
tions organize and expect to make
money. Most fair associations have
a hard time to come out on top from
year to year.
If fairs are of an educational value
we want to make them a paying pro
position. 1t can be done by making
big fair. Every fair wants lots OF
exhibitors. 1t is by competing your
exhibit with that of others that you
educate yourself and others. Lets
prepare something now for the sew
eral Grant county fairs.
The things that must be made up
soon are grass and grain sheaves
They help wonderfully in adding to
the exhibit and count on bringing
several. We must back up the fairs.

COMPARE HIGH AND Low
PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS

The average price received by pro-
duceTs of the United States for hogs
during April fell below SS per 100
pounds for the first time since March
1916, according to report by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average price for April reached
the low mark OF $7.86. The highest
price reached at any time was dur
ing August, 1919, when the average
was $3.50 per 100 pounds. Prices
advanced more or less steadily from
1916 to 1919, then took a rather rapid
drop during the latter part of 1919.
During 1920 the average price for
each month was between $13 and $14
until December, when it dropped to
about $11.
The price which producers received
for cotton seed reached the lowest
mark in April since November, 1914,
when it was $14.01 per ton. The
average price for last April was
$17.23 per ton, as compared to the
peak price of $72.65 in November,
1919. The low price in 1914 was the
result of the big crop produced that
year, which amounted to 1888 ,O02
bales.
The price of wool in April was be-
low Is cents, which is the lowest
since May, 1912. In March and April,
1918, the average price of wool was
so cents pound.

why Is A Legislature. Anyhow!

Take 175 men out of all walks of
life, in Kansas a majority of them
farmers. Give rs per cent of them a
seventh-grade education and Is per
cent college degrees, and let the rest
struggle from the third grade to the
high school. Round them up in a
strange town, under strange infiu-
ences, all OF the bunch strangers to
each other. Put them in two rooms
where one-third never does get ac-
quainted with the other two-thirds.
Organize them into committees, and
in the backs of the heads of about for
ty of them inject mean, nasty, sell
fish yet sneaking ambition to hold a
state job and move to town. Then
bang! Slap down on them from the
outside about 100 questions of states
manship, questions of things involv-
ing millions of dollars and the good
fortunes of million people. Then let
the outer circles of the strange town
be filled with greedy wolves seeking
special privileges of various sorts.
And on top of this give them 80 days
in which to solve these questions.
What Internal nonsense to expect
good results! What a damnable
scheme that is to guarantee misgov-
eminent! If the devil himself plan
ed it, he couldn't have done better.
1t was designed for another age, and
it worked we'll in the country that
was fifty years ago. But it does not
work now. 1t only plays hell.
The first thing to do with the legis-
lature is to abolish it.

TWOFOLD VALUE OF
SHOWING AT FAIR.

Fairs are not a money making
scheme or anything of the kind.
They are held for their educational
and advertising values.
We show the best we have against
the best that others have and the
Judge passes on them to see who has
the best. That tells us what the best
looks like and has a very good edu-
cational feature ABOUT it. The win
ner gets excellent advertising be-
cause of having taken first place.
The latter has a larger value than
the amount of cash that goes with it
as premium.
Remember to make up some
sheaves of clover, timothy, and the
grains you have. Help make the
fairs a real success.
Fairs also have other valuable
features. One of them is the social
good that one gets from seeing old
friends and the getting of new ideas.
1t always helps to tell your troubles
to someone else. Help boost the
fairs

THE PUBLIC PRESS.

Il have no right to critic the pub
lie press" said Stacy Shown, a Seat
tie business man, when asked what
he thought of the present-day news
paper. when l buy a daily paper,
l receive many, many times my
moneys worth. For few pennies |
may, without leaving my home, learn
of an instruction in Mexico, new
president in China, a baseball game
in Los Angeles or a new appointment
in Washington, D. c., and more i'm
portant than these events, what has
happened in my old home town with
in the last six, or even three hours.
Men and women have worked
hours to prepare this paper. 1t is
brought to my door and l am not
asked to pay the price of the white
paper on which the worlds events
are chronicled for my pleasure.
THE public press is one of the
greatest achievements Of civilization.
Each morning for thirty years, as
have brought in the newspapers, l
have marveled afresh at the wonder
of profession that can furnish so
great service SO cheaply.
"Of course, the press is not per-
feet. There are times when it is even
corrupt. But they are becoming
fewer each year We wonder why
the newspaper does not do this or
say that. Instead we should be sur
prised and gratified at some of the
things it dares publish in its col
umns.
Before you kick, stop a moment
and think what little way the few
pennies you have given have gone to-
ward paying for the sheet in your
hand. And before denouncing the
press entirely, remember how you
miss the paper when the neighbours
dog beats you to it.
There is nothing like the public
press for service. If it doesn't suit
you get behind it and work" Fourth

MOTOR SPEEDWAY GOSSIP.

The ninth annual international
sweepstakes race at Indianapolis was
triumph for eight cylinder cars for
the first time in the history of the
famous 500-mile classic.
When Tommy Milton sent the eight
cylindered Frontenac creation OF
Louis Chevrolet across the finish for
new track average for cars OF 78S
cubic inches piston displacement, It
was the first time that an eight CYL
inder car had ever won at the famous
speedway, and the second time that
any car of more than four cylinders
had ever received the checkered flag
Except for the first race in 1911,
when Ray Harroun drove to victory
in six-cyIinder Marmon, the great
contest has always been won by cars
of four-cylinder design.
This year was a complete triumph
for ''eights," but one fOur-Percy
Ford's Frontenac, being placed, while
the other eight positions were taken
by eight cylinder speedsters. In both
speed and stamina "eights" were
supreme. Ralph De Palmas Good
year-equipped Ballot had the speed
of any car on the track, as was
shown by the unheard-Of average
speed of 1888 miles an an hour he
maintained for $50 miles until he
was forced out, while Tommy Milton's'
eight" had the stamina-and won.
Foreign designers, with the excep-
ton of Ballot in France, favor the
our-cylinder car as easier OF ad-'
iustment and maintenance at eff
ficiency during race, but the battle
for supremacy will be fought to
conclusion at the Grand PriX at LIE.
Mans in July when American-design-
ed -"eights" will lock horns with Eu-
ropean-designed "fours."
The result of this race will have
considerable influence on future de-
signs of racing cars and will deter
mine whether they are to be "fours'|
or "aightS"

FRIEND FOLEY'S FOOLIsHNEss.

They say poverty is no disgrace,
but neither is it anything to brag
about.
Cheer up-prices are going down.
Let us hope for the return of the
| fve-cent dish Of ice cream, dear Ma
linda.
Well say that the days last week
were exceedingly warm-96 degrees
and upward, making the farm lands
and town gardens as dry as the 18th
amendment of the u. S. constitution.
Not many people, comparatively
speaking, can afford to dress coolly
during a hot spell, but how different
it was in the fig-leaf days of our
ancestors.
Money was so plentiful here in
town Saturday and Monday that
storekeepers and other local traders
suspicioned that a burglary had been
committed, or possibly bank robbed
of it's gold-by the way certain citi-
zens bought gobs of goods and paid
cash for them. But it finally leaked
out that Saturday was pay day for
cellar diggers, cement workers, and
carpenters at the Index Office a whole
week and a few additional days. Re-
suit is that we're just about bust
ed" now and may have to solicit sub
scriptions from the worthy poor and
opulent rich in order to keep up ap-
pearances until after the harvesting
and haying is over and money starts
flowing toward print shops again

MY WORLD.
(By DR.. Frank Crane. }

| have discovered the center Of the
universe. 1t is very wonderful and
comforting I am the center of the
universe. In minute this morning
this flashed on me, and the puzzle
Of the ages was solved.
No more dispute as to whether the
earth goes round the sun, or the sun
round the earth, or both round the
constellation of Hercules, for the
whole cosmos revolves about me.
am the axis.
And in all this there is no egotism.
For in saying l am the center Of the
cosmos | do not at all imply that
you also are not the center of the
cosmos. In fact you are; every
body is. There are as many centers
as there are conscious beings. The
mistake we have made all along is
in supposing there can be but one
center. If you look through a win
dow pane covered with rain drops or
frost crystals at a point of light, you
will notice that any way you move
your head the light always remains
the center of innumerable concen-
trio rings formed by the glistening
reflections. 1t is even so in life, as
you move the center moves.
There are so many discontinued,
unhappy people in the world, simply
because there are so many eccentric,
lopsided, bumpy, f1at-wheeled irregu-
lar souls. Move in! Move in! Oc-
cupy your due place in the spotlight
of destiny! Worms do it, why not
you?
