I $2.00 "WHEAT Last fall the farmers bought seed wheat at $3 to $3.50 per bushel and planted it. What the birds didn’t eat the frost got—In the spring the wheat come up thin—The Newspapers—The Government—all tcld the farmers not to plow it up for corn or oats, to leave it go—That the price they got in the fall would make up for the loss—Then they set the price at $2.00, just one-third less than the cost of the seed—Everybody hollering about what the farmer is making—Why don’t they || go farming—The Newspapers said to plant big gardens—They did—What price do they want to pay for it. $0. Now if the people want cheap bread next year they better pay the price this year—Does the Government figure the farmers are bone-headed enough to run their farms into debt and pay double prices for the stuff they have to buy—Talk about Patriotism—is it patriotism to knife your comrade in the back—if that is what Hoover Wilson or any man calls patriotism then I want to be shot for a traitor. No farmer yet has kicked on selling his wheat at $2.00, providing he could buy his coal at $8.00 instead of $14.00. If he could buy his grain drills for $19.60 instead of $48.75 and $50.00. If he could hire hands to work for $20.00 per month and boarf instead of &15 t0 $65- The farmer is entitled to his price just as well as the Ammunition Makers—the Ship Builders—the Lumber and Coal Yards or the Railroads. Better buy your flour now for two years ahead because no farmer is going to raise wheat for you at $2.00 per bushel when he can get $2.25 for corn and 90 cents for oats. As I said before a good many times. MOST OF THE SUCKERS HAVE LEFT THE FARM. Some farmers say that $2.00 is a good big price wheat' They are the farmers who can>t raise wheat. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could set the price on the other fellows stuff? The $2.00 price on wheat this | fall will put most of the wheat farmers out of the wheat business and we may not see any wheat flour for sale next year.

Lawrence Chapman left last Fri day night for Billings, Mont., where he will locate and enter upon the practice of his profession. Lawrence has had a couple of years in the practice of his profession in this city and is well equipped to enter upon the practice of law in our neighboring state. He visited Billings a couple of weeks ago and decided there was a splendid opening in that city for an ambitious young lawyer. His Holt county friends wish him suc cess in his new location. W. L. Fisher, of Wayne, was in the city Wednesday visiting old friends. Mr. Fisher was formerly engaged in the hardware business, in the store now owned by Warner & Sons, but disposed of his business here and moved to Wayne some seven years ago. At the present time he is operating a bakery and confectionary at Wayne and says that he is doing a splendid business. His Holt county friends will be glad to learn of his success. , A net earning of $64 per acre on rented land, sown to Winter wheat, is this year’s record for W. A. Marr, seven miles northeast of O’Nelil. Mr. Marr, in addition to farming his own land rented an additional quarter, the owner of which insisted on a cash rental. The land in question cost the present owner $32 an acre when pur chased, or less than the profit per acre realized by Mr. Marr on his winter wheat for which he is finding a strong demand at $2.60 per bushel for seed.

The firm of Chmeler & Grady was dissolved last Tuesday, John Chmeler buying the interests of his partner, Ben Grady. As the latter was caught in the draft and will leave here with the next Holt county contingent for Camp Funston, Kansas, he was com pelled to dispose of his interest in the shoe store. Mr. Chmeler will retain the firm name of Chmeler & Grady. The boys have been doing a splendid business since opening their store a year ago and Mr. Chmeler says that he will continue the same policy that the firm had from its organization, that is to handle only first class goods and to sell them at the lowest possible margin of profit. Leave For Camp Funston. The citizens of O’Neill and the sur rounding country did themselves proud last Sunday in their farewell to the soldier boys, who left that morn ing for Camp Funston, Kansas. At least 2,000 people were at the train when the special train pulled in at 11:45, and they were present from all parts of the county. The boys were feeling fine and anxious to get started and when the train pulled out it was with the cheers of the people of this city and surrounding territory ringing in their ears and their fervent prayers that they would come safely back, with the laurels of victory on their brow. The men were in charge of Harry Radaker, who was made captain of the squad for the trip. They were also accompanied by County Clerk Kelley, clerk of the exemption board, who accompanied them to the camp in Kansas. Word from Kelley is to the effect that the boys arrived at Camp Funston at 9 o’clock Monday morning and that they were all feeling fine. Saturday evening the citizens of this city entertained the boys with a supper at the Golden Hotel. They went from the hotel to the opera house where a splendid program was rendered. At the meeting at the opera house Judge Dickson presided and after a few brief and very fitting remarks introduced Judge Harrington, who made the principal address of the evening. The Judge made an extended address,reviewing the incidents that led up to the declaration of war, and de clared that there was only one position for a patriotic American to take at this time and that was to be unre servedly in favor of his country. The Judge was given the closest attention through his address and was heartily cheeked at its conclusion. Mrs. H. J. Reardon then favored with a vocal solo, after which Hugh J. Boyle was introduced and delivered one of his eloquent and convincing ad dresses which was enthusiastically received. At the conclusion of the speaking program the young folks tripped the light fantastic for several hours and the young people seemed to thor oughly eqjoy themselves.
