And painful beyond all expression right here in Muncie everybody seemed to be heartily in favor of it and people here planned a reception for the editor when he returned home and bought twenty thousand copies of his paper on the streets of Muncie Saturday

afternoon.

The College Yell. The crew that had been saving Muncie now shrunken to, a small and palsied group of last standers, once more formed a hollow square and, for the last time, we hope, tortured the air with their futile college yell—“Save Muncie.” One local daily, hoping against hope, vainly sought to stem the swelling tide bf wrath and indignation by pleading for harmony! “This Dale-Dearth feud must stop,” was the admonition. “A personal quarrel between an editor and a judge must not be permitted to ruin the prospects of our fair city. It is time for some great, big, strong man to take the helm and lead us in the paths of peace before they take the Normal school

Very fine words indeed®, but nobody was impressed. It reminded the doughboys too much of defeated Oermany’s plaintive “Camerad” when the Yank bayonet threaten-

The editor of the Post-Democrat in his long newspaper career, never took orders from any man living, friend or foe. The Muncie dailies take orders and every man Jack in the “Save Muncie” crew, from Clarence eDarth down the line to Pete Barlow, tip their hats to;

somebody above them. |Attest: Who is to choose for us this!Robert B. Bradbury great leader, this second Moses,[Feb. 26th-Mar. 5th.

“A man that wants to be independent with a small start,” says G. J. Dickson, of Coffee Creek, Montana, in the heart of the Judith Basin, “coiild never come to a better country than this! Nor meet a more generous and friendly people! We are satisfied and cannot say too much for the country!” Mr. Dickson has good reason for enthusiasm. He came here emptyhanded from Kansas, and is now worth $40,000. He owns 800 acres,

and leases 400 more.

His crops average per acre: 18 bus. wheat, 40 bus. oats, a ton of alfalfa, 300 bus. potatoes. In his garden he grows beets, peas, onions, carrots, radishes, beans, cabbage, parsnips, lettuce, cucumbers. He raises some shorthorn cattle, Chester white hogs, turkeys, Rhode Island Reds, and his own horses for farming. He gets a $30 cream check every month, and keeps three gal-

lons for home use.

“I like it fine,” says Dickson. “The horses feed out all winter. There’s no comparison between this locality and the one I came from.” If you want more information about this wonderful country, write Mr. 11. F. Hunter, Agricultural
