The Price of Corn.
One of the desperate measures to
which the republicans are resorting in
the hope of turning the popular tide
that threatens to engulf them is by
pointing out to the farmerthat the
high price of corn and other agricultur
al products is directly a result of re
publican administrative ability.
Regardless of politics we must ad
mit that prosperity has come to the
farmer. Providence has bestowed rain
and sunshine and the ground has bur
geoned forth with great crops. Nature
never has had and never will have
ought to do with republican bragga
docio and partisanship. From the
bosom of mother earth a thousand
green things spring out, and the price
for them increases as the demand for
them increases. Republican congresses
may convene or adjourn, and Taft and
Roosevelt may cudgel and cajole and
accept campaign contributions from
Wall street until doomsday, but not
one word from them or their friends,
the trusts, will fill the clouds with rain
or the skies with sunshine. And if
nature, with her wonderful machinery,
does not cooperate with the farmer in
the act of producing, where is that
politician, no matter how great his
power or influence, who shall command
and receive bounteous harvests from
the dirt?
But in spite of these self-evident
facts there are editors and other po
litical spellbinders who are presump
tuous enough to tell the people that the
high price of corn is due to republican
administration in state and nation.
They are talking up their sleeves and
trying to make the public believe it is
the voice of doom threatening dire
disaster and calamity unless the repub
lican party is returned to2Jpower to as
sist the Almighty in keeping nature in
working order.
Do you know what has really shoved
up the price of corn? Any grocer in
this city who is not Jbound by party hide
can tell you. Ask the man on the cor
nor from whom you buy your canned or
breakfast or cereal foods what is the
cause of attractive pricesjfor corn, and
he will answer you by saying that in
1900 the uses of corn were few, while
today it is manufactured into a hund
red different forms. Today thousands
upon thousands of tons of corn, manu
factured into almost as many kinds of
foods, are shipped abroad, and this has
so increased the consumption of corn
that its price has naturally gone up to
a high standard that williShaye to be
maintained for years, regardless of
political domination.
On the authority of the most prom
inent grain men in the country, and for
the reason stated, we shall'seejnojmore
cheap prices for corn.
Right now the production of corn is
far behind the consumption, andJshall
continue to be so as long as so many
uses are found for the cereal.
Do not let the republican cry of
"Democracy and cheap corn!" scare
you into voting for Taft, Sherman,
Sheldon and Pollard. These men can
not regulate the world's appetite for
the foods made from corn.

A DK.si'KKATK effort is now being

are to the effect that this will even
prove an utter impossibility. ttTli
Is a most desperate attempt to pull
Gov. Sheldon through in Douglas
county, the Omaha republicans have
abandoned all attempt to elect the bal
ance of their ticket.
Election next Tuesday. A vote for
C. M. Seybert for county commissioner
is a vote for the right man for the
right place. See that a "x" is placed
in the circle after his name.
Qf course you want to elect your own
township assessor. Then vote for men
who will give you the chance. They are
Bates, for float representative, Ban
ning for senator, and Sattler and Laugh-
lin for representatives.
Fort three years W. B. Banning ser
ved the people as county commissioner
and they know how faithful he proved
to the trust reposed in him. He will
prove faithful to the same people if
elected to represent Cass county in the
Nebraska State Senate. A vote for
Mr. Banning means a vote for one of
the best business men in the county.
Billy Ramsky should be elected
county attorney; first, because he is
well qualified; second, because he is u
Cass county product; third, because he
will serve the people in a manner cred
itable to himself and the people of the
county; fourth, he is a model young man
whose record is as clear as a crystal;
fifth, he will not persecute the people
simply because he has the power to do
so. Vote for W. C. Ramsey if you want
an unbiased county attorney.
Would Mortgage the Farm.
A farmer on Rural Route 2, Empire
Ga., W. A. Floyd by name, says:
"Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured the two
worst sores I ever saw; one on my
hand and one on my leg. It is worth
more than its weight in gold. I would
not be without it if I had to mortgage
the farm to get it." Only 25c at F. G.

LETTER.
To Mr. J. P. Falfer, Platfs
mouth, Nebraska.
Dear Sir: Mr. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y.
had two houses exactly alike, and paint
ed them; one Devoe lead-and-zinc; the
other barytes-and-zinc. He paid same
price for both paints.
He used six gallons of lead-and-zinc,
12 gallons barytes-and-zinc.
He paid $18 for painting lead-and-zinc,
$36 for paintinn barytes-and-zinc.
The total cost of the lead-and-zinc
job was $27; the total cost of the barytes-and-zinc
job was $54.
He didn't know he was buying bary
tes; the dealer told him that paint was
as good as Devoe.
A fair example of how it generally
comes-out, when you buy "something
just as good." Better go by the name;
and the name is Devoe.
Yours truly

More Than Enough is Too Much.
To maintain health, a mature man or
woman needs just enough food to repair
the waste and supply energy and body
heat. The habitual consumption of more
food than is necessary for these pur
poses is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubledjwith indiges
tion, revise your diet, let Jreason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and vou will soon be all
right again. For Sale by F. G. Fricke

who so kindly extended us their aid and
