to advance prices. The board's report would make It appear that the woolen trust wouldn’t do such a thing. But the report isn't altogether useless, because it proves beyond successful contradictions: First—That Schedule K is ''indefensible;" it proves this conclusively and I for ail time. I Second—l 2 confirms practically every charge made against the woolen schedule by democrats and progressive republicans. | Third—lt proves that the American . people are victims of extortion from ' wool manufacturers, i Fourth —And that President Taft's .veto of the Undcrwood-LaFollette bill i was against the interest of 90,000,000 'consumers of woolens; that it was absolutely unjustified, unnecessary and therefore unfo r givable.

NEW ERA BEGINNING. - j With the purchase of the first deep tilling machine in the county, Smith and Wilson are pioneers of the new era of farming which will be instilled into the community as a result of sug,ar beet culture. That crop, requiring ■ deep plowing as it does, necessitates j new and modern machinery. This en- : terprising firm has bought a deep till- \ ing machine and in its trial' plow- | ed sod ground nineteen inches deep, throwing up a seed bed of fine mellow ground for possibly two feet in thickness. The advantage of a deep, loose bed for beets is recognized and indi- , rectly for the other crops as well. It is safe to assume that many more of the machines will be put into eommis- ! sion.
