J. B. KNIEST. RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA Concise Statement showing the true inwardness of the proposed Canadian Reciprocity occasioned this agreement. The ad vantages are to be: To Canada, del per farm machinery and free en try, through the great lakes. Into our grcnt manufacturing centres, of her farm products; to the 1'nltei! States, a free entry into Canada of the pro ducts or some of our factories and cheaKT food for our cities. Canada's policy Is to encourage nnd develop her agricultural resources; ours, as In the pnst twenty years, to provide for the rapidly Increasing population of our cities and let our practically developed agriculture shift for Itself. The main purpose of the friends of this agreement Is to make food i heap er, and If It does his the farmer will suffer. We hrive for years been protecting Infant industries till they arc great trusts, controlling and corrupting ev ery department of government and business. During these years tariff upon farm products was of little bat) eflt because we produced n gradually decreasing surplus. Our government al policy has resulted In great com mercial and manufacturing combines, fixing the prices upon what we both buy and sell and arrogantly perietu ating this policy by corrupting the government. The result of this help lessness and servility has been an alarming movement cityward, this coupled with the reaching of the lim it of farm production. This has re sulted In high-priced food, nnd now. w hen supply and demand are meeting, and the farmer is just coming into his own we are expected to tamely submit to the alienating of thia long deserved right without receiving any concessions upon what we buy. Tills whole business savors to me of t political trick Taft, t ho presi dent of HO.000.ono people. juggling with their welfare for political ad vantage. Now here Is the trick: The dem ocratic party lias long favored a re duction of the tariff; In afct, a Tew favored free trade. The farmer In the past has looked upon the high tariff as being mainly an advauta ga to the one-time infant industries and only Incidentally helpful to him, and since this policy has resulted In build Ing such Influential combines he has clamored for a downward revision. Now, Tnft, speaking for the manufac turers, says, take a dose of your own nedielM, on the theory that we will be estopped from saying it's not good. Now If all the farmers are of my way of thinking we will ask our friends in congress to call his bluff by agreeing to support t hi- agree ment only upon the condition that the schedules of manufactured articles be (at this same special session) revised downward, according to this same principle upon which t he president Ti tles In his contention for this agree ment of making the tariff equal the difference In cost of production here and abroad, and do It with the sta tistics at hand.

OF OUR RECIPES AND EAT ING THE RESULT BANANA BALLS 1 1 Cup sifted banana poJ Within the last few weeks much has been printed In regard to recip rocity with Canada and the ratifica tion by congress of a treaty provid ing for the same; but the most that has been printed has been of a de sultory nature, so that but com para tively few voters are as welt posted on the subject as they should be. We have not seen anything In print that we think explains briefly the true Inwardness of the matter better than an article printed in the Ne braska State Journal of March tth, written by Hon. W. J. Taylor of Mer na, democratic and populist candi date for congress from this district last fall. Keclprocate means "to give and return mutually". Reciprocity is de fined as "mutual action and reac tion". Aa applied to the tariff be tween two countries, It means the coolcriing of equal privileges in re gard to customs or charges on im ports, and as commonly understood In this country conveys the idea of free trade, between the two count ries affected, on certain articles spe cified, or on all articles of Import and export between the two count ries. With this definition as an iu traduction to Mr. Taylor's article, a hove mentioned, we give the follow ing extract from it: li Is free trade witli Canada upon agricultural products and an opentiiK to her markets for the products of many of our afctories. especially those ol iunu machinery, t .muda has no factories and vast areas of cheap, rich, undeveloped ag ricultural lands, and for the last few years has been making herculean ef forts to encourage its settlement and development.

PRIZE WINNERS MISS WILMETTA HAWKINS AND MISS MARION MOTE WIN SPE CIAL PRIZES FOR BEST ESSAYS ON BOX BUTTE COUNTY Two of the prizes offered at the Box Dutte county Boys' and Girls bers are almost uniform in size and I weight. It is a fact that the farmers of the county have made more money from the potato business than their breth ren in the eastern part of the state fron. their j?rain and corn combined, and with little labor. Stock raising was for many years the chief industry of the county but it is now the second important In dusi ry. Alliance, the metropolis of western Nebraska is the county seat of Box Butte and has large stock raising. great extent because the season is so short, in fact, there is not enough grain of any kind raised to supply the demand for home con sumption and, though there Is much wheat shipped out. if there were mills here to grind it there would not be enough to supply the home demand. Stock raising is the chief Industry of the county and is carried on in all parts of the county. In the last few years, butter hits become a great product of Box Butte county and a creamery having been built at Industrial contest, held April 8, were He"' railroad repair shops, and dairying and potato growing Interests. Alliance, a greater Interest has been The best argument I have found in Maine for prohibition, says a writ er iu the Malue Temperance Record, was from an editor of a paper In Portland, that was, for political reas ons, m i im i opposed to it. i nau a conversation with him that ran some thing like thla: "Where were you born?" "In a little village about sixty miles from Bangor." "hu you remember the condition of things in your village prior to prohibition?" 'I'isflnctly. There was a vast amount of drunkenness and conse quent disorder and poverty." "What was the effect of prohi bition?" "it shut up all the drink-shops and practically banished liquor from the village. It became one of the moat qulei and prosperous places ou the globe." "How long did you live In the vil lage after prohibition?" "Hleven years, or until 1 was twen- ty-oue years of age. Then 1 went to Bangor." "Ho you drink now ' "I have never tasted a drop liquor in my life." "Why?" "Up to the age of twenty-one I never saw it, and after that 1 did not cure to take on the habit." 'that Is all there is in it. If the bay of the country are not exposed to tne infernalism. the men are very sure not to be. This man and his schoolmates were saved from drink by the fact that thoy could not get it until they were old enough to know better. Few men are drunk ards who know not the poison until ihc are twenty-one. it is the youth, the spirit and beer men want. for best compositions on Box Butte county. The flrat, a two years' subscription to The Alliance Herald with wall chart, was won by Miss Wihnetta Hawkins, of the seventh grade in the Alliance schools. The Ocoad prize, a year's subscription to the Youth's Companion, was offered by County Supt. Miss Reed, and was won by another seventh grade lll ance girl, Miss Marion Mote.

Hughea on the Niobrara River In the year 1879 and since then the growth of the county has so developed that the old settlers can hardly balleve Jt is the little old barren strip of land where so many Indians roamed, such a few years ago. The first white child born in Box Butte County was born about twenty three years ago and the amount of births since ia almost in itself enough to convince the nation of the rapid settling of the county. The climate, soil, rainfall, crops, stock, transportation and market fa cilities, rapid rise iu land values, home advantages and educational ad vantages are the gre:it sources of Box Butte's wealth.
