Your Home Town
Newspaper

The value of your local newspaper
to the success Of your business cannot
be Overestimated. It's worth all the
support and cooperation you can give
it. For the newspaper is mirror re-
f1ecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an i'm
pOrtant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the
mirror. Everybody sees it there. If
it is not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there,
but you cannot be seen. Your store
is open for business as usual, but
out of sight, out of mind To keep
in step with the progress of the COM
munity, to get your share of business,
you must advertise regularly. Estab-
lish an advertising budget. Plan a
regular schedule for your ADVERTISE
ment. It's policy that is followed
by the most successful stores in COM
munities with town paper; it's an
idea that will be profitable for you.

Farm Cash Income Rises
80 Per Cent During Year

have been put into effect during the
year, the report states.
The department of agriculture
estimated farm income, exclusive Of
the value of products used on
farms for the period which termi-
mated May /, 1888, at $3,979 100000.
In the twelve months period of the
present year, cash income is eSti-
mated at more than SIS, $50, 900 900, All
increase of more than $1,500,00O, 900.
Of this increase in agriculture in
come, rental and benefit payments
accounted for more than II per
cent. The payments totaled in eX-
cess of $185 100000.
The distribution of this total
among growers of the various crops
on which payments are made was
as follows: Cotton, $112,515, 1866 !;
wheat, $67,617 ,486; tobacco, $5,206,-
778; corn, $15,536, and hogs, $24,844.
For cotton and tobacco, the pay
mentS include those made under the
1888 and 1884 programs. On the
remaining, payments were made on
the 1884 program only. These in
creases in farm income are in ad-
dition to the added returns to in
come that farmers received through
increased prices resulting from pro-
grams to adjust production to effec-
tive demand in the basic commod-
tiles, it was revealed.
In addition to the programs for
basic commodities, twenty-five mar
keting agreements for special crops
such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, gum
turpentine and rosin have became
effective

CHICAGO, May 12.-Sharp price

drought undated for the time be-
ing. continued to be a dominating
factor.
Wheat finished weak. off = to Il,

Wheat prices moved up and down
within a range of about cents

Dust Storms Continue
There were reports of scattered
rains in parts of the American and
Canadian wheat areas but the fore
cast for the DakotaS over the week
end was for generally fair weather.
Showers, however, were regarded as
probable over parts of the winter
belt and certain sections Of the oats
territory and there was more or
less evening up of positions.
No hope of general breaking Of
the drought was indicated by
weather experts, although a shower
period was predicted for Tuesday
evening or Wednesday.
Dust storms again were reported
| in parts Of the west and northwest,
but attracted less attention than of
late.
According to Washington reports
winter wheat has been deteriorating
at the rate of around 100000
bushels a day which was taken by
the trade to indicate a winter wheat
crop of around 440,0O0,000 bushels.
One observer hazards the prediction
that the combined winter and

600 900 bushels, or about So
600 900 bushels below domestic re-
quirementS.
