JJHE MEETING Al THE
The following timely sugges
tions from one of experience, if
properly heeded, will no doubt
save the farmers of Cass county
many dollars, and as the Journal
is interested in the prosperity of
our farmers, we give these sug
gestions, in the hope that they
will bo greatly benefited: ,
The north and west sides of
wire cribs should especially be
protected. The snow blows into
thom, it softens up at the middle
of the day and freezes at night.
Hay or canvass makes a good
covering for the top and corn fod
der set up against the north and
west sides of the wire cribs will
protect against driving snow.
The agricultural colleges, ex
tension departments ami crop im
ettYCinerit organizations have
bwn for several years vigorously
keosling for increased yields and
improved quality of corn by im
proving and testing I ho seed, but
practically nothing has been said
or done to promote the idea of
properly caring for the corn af
ter it is harvested.
Tho farmers this year have
grown the largest crop of corn on
record, that has matured fairly
well, so that inherent moisture
content is about normal, but many
farmers are piling I he ear corn
that, is of good quality on the
ground and storing it in open wire
cribs exposed to the weather with
out any protection whatever from
the snow and rain.
The corn thus exposed is most
certain to deteriorate in quality
and become damaged to such nn
extent that it will be unsound and
consequently have In be marketed
as no-grade, when the same corn,
if stored in we'll ventilated cribs,
would have cured out, reducing
tho moisture content and pre
serving the quality otherwise in
such a manner that it would be
marketed ns No. 3 or bet ter grade.
The discount on no-grade corn
will probably be as much as 10
cents per bushel, especially if the
market becomes congested, and
in this connection would suggest
also the probability that such
damaged corn will sometime in
the future be considered under the
pure food nnd drugs act as until
for animal food, and its sale pro
hibited, as is now done in the slate
of South Carolina, where the corn
is subjected to the acidity lest,
and if not w ithin the requirements
is confiscated under I he law of the
stale.
Wot until very recently have I he
farmers been responsible under
tho pure food law for selling stale
eggs, but we notice recently thai
the law is being enforced and that
the farmers fvre being held re
sponsible for the selling of stale
eggs, and there is no doubt but
what the same will be applied to
animal foods.

this afternoon for Memphis, Ne

that has just been erected on the

oily. The house was erected by
Messrs. A. II. Smith, Orville

thftvork of the l'lultsmouth car
penters was so satisfactory that
the painting job was let to Mr.
tlobclman, whose reputation for
satisfactory work is well known
throughout Ibis section. The job
of painting will lake the gentle
men some lime to complete, as the
house is quite a large one and will
require a great deal of paint to
cover it.

Time began on the Sabbath.
Home and t he Sabbath are (iod's
first gifts to man; the Jachin and
Hoaz pillars of national strength
ami morality. The authority for
the Sabbatb day is divine. It came
from flod al creation, from Jeho
vah at Sinai, and from Jesus the
Son of Clod and tha saviour of men
at Calilce. The Sabbath was made
for man and was to be used as a
day of worship. Any use of the
Sabbath for wordly amusements
or secular ends is sin.
The Sabbath is essential to the
existence of Christianity, and any
loosening of public conviction on
this subject ,ofVns the way to an
utter disregard, if not contempt,
for divine law, and because of this
more than one-fifth of the labor
ing people of Ibis country are
compelled to work seven days in
the week, (bus being denied the
blessings of religious culture of
this day of worship.
We cannot reach and save the,
masses until the masses have the
time to bear the gospel of Jesus,
and if through Sunday labor,
sporl and amusements al, base
ball park, beer garden, moving
picture shows and theaters the
attention of the people be diverted
from the real purpose of the Sab
bath day, bow much chance will
the church have to cultivate and
maintain a moral standard that
will guarantee to the parents of
children who reside in this city,
and others who desire to locale
here, moral safely for their fam
ily? We must make our city
morally and physically safe for
I hem, for thoughtful people will
pass by a city so given up to im
moral it y and Sabbath desecra
tion as to offer no protection for
the moral development of their
children, no difference what other
advantages it may olTer them.
One of the most potent assist
ants or assailants of the church
and the Sabbath is the daily news
paper; and when it, consciously
I - 1 1 M .
or unconsciously uses us migniy
influence to create public senti
ment toward the tearing down of
the bulwarks of our moral safely
as a city or nation, it would be an
inexcusable mistake for the min
isterial association of that city to
allow it to pass without protest.
We therefore shall use every
endeavor possible, as I lie rep
resenlatives of the religious in
terests of this city lo slop the
present drift in the direction of
SahhaJh desecration, and we call
upon every member of I be
churches of the city to assist in
any way possible lo discourage
Ibis unholy attempt lo change the
Sabbath of Cod into a day of
sport, revelry, drunkenness and
theater-going.

Last evening al the Christian
church the ltev. I iiinkelberger de
livered one of his impressive ser
mons, the theme being, "Forgive
ness." fu this he brought the
story of the returning of I lie
prodigal son as an illustration of
the forgiveness of the father, and
showed how the heavenly Father
was as desirous of expressing His
love and forgiveness as is the
earthly parent. The meetings are
attracting much Interest ami are
growing from night to night. No
announcement will be made today
of Ihe subject for tonight, but it
will be one of great interest and
ably presented. The public are
invited lo attend these meetings,
flood singing and good music,
with the word preached in . the
most able manner. The services
commence at 7:30 and end by 9
o'clock, which allows all to get
home at an early hour.

Not Aware.
Enjoying perfect health we are
not aware that digestion is going
on in our body, because it does
not cause us the least discomfort.
As soon as unpleasant sensations
are felt, we have dyspepsia, one of
the most common diseases of this
country. The usual symptoms
are the following: Poor or no
appetite, eructations, constipa
tion, nausea, vomiting, different
pains, headache, nervousness,
weakness. The greatest remedy
for such complaints is Triner's
American Elixir of Hitter Wine.
It will quickly and decidedly clean
out the whole digestive canal,
strengthening it at the same time;
it will relieve acute and chronic
constipation. The dose can be
gradually decreased. To ladies it
gives quick relief in their pains.
