Al Whetstone was in this local
ity Monday looking for corn. We
hear that corn is worth 35c in
Valentine. That makes corn
worth 40c in this locality.If we
would prosper we should observe
the following method when pros
pective buyers come along that
is , the kind that live fat off of the
poor laboring class , usually called
speculators , who buy corn at 20c >
and next summer sell it 45 to 50c.
Their method and argument usual
ly is this : Well , it's twenty miles
to town and it will cost you § 1.50
to stop in town , besides two days
work for yourself and horses. He
will argue that you ought to knock
off that much and let hin have it
that much cheaper and we usual
ly do. Now , the proper thing to ' c
do when they come around st > ecu-
lating and want to know what you
want for corn , is to tell them
if you have any to sell that you
want 5c better than town price ,
and if he asks why , tell them
that it will cost them 20c a hundred -
dred to have it hauled out from
town and it would be just as well
for you to have extra as well as c
