The great northwest part of this country has not had a rain since early in April it is repined and consequently only half a crop will be harvested. That’s a tough break ter them but it may help to solve the price problem for the farmers of the rest of the country. ■ '• " — An honest tariff which is now being advocated by the Democrats in congress aided by a number of western senators and leaders should of course be a tin" thing, hu the great difficulty is that the leaders of the majority prefer 'he kind that creates for some while it destroys for others. Old Settlers’ D.iy which is to be one of the features of the street fair can be made a delightful and long to be remembered occasion. Thu committee is working oat a program of interest and if those requested will cooperate there will be a big day cl real joy and delight. The price for wheat is being lowered now which is the usual procedure for this ime of year, this being just about the ime when it reaches “ the market. Os course later it will reach a normal value and remain rather fixed, depending some on the, supply and demand, but just now it seems to be as usual a case of buy-1 ing at thr lowest possible figure. The Chicago Daily News has swallowed the Chicago Journal, one of the oldest and for a long time popula’ - |, dailies of the "windy” city. It got lost in the shuffle of modern newspaper deals and was merged as has happened to many a good newspaper during the las: few months. The business has become a very expen give one and in many ways a very difficult one and business men are encouraging the reduction of the number of newspapers to cover the field. Oh, Pshaw, some man named Nation, we wonder if he is any relation to the once famous Carrie, has filed suit tor a million dollars damages against the now famous Mabel Willebrandt. Nation, who was a former chief of th; prohibition enforcement 1 organization out of St. Louis, says that's the amount he was damaged by some of Mabel's writings. It will be inter sting tn f How this through and 1< in what the court and jury thinks his damages are. if any. Planning the budget and making the tax rate for next year is now a job that is making those to whom ths duty falls, scratch their heads and do some hard thinking. Local officials are citizens; apd taxpayers here and have the same interest al! the rest of us have in a low tax rate. They also desire the city to continue to improve and to meet the demands of the people for this and for that. They will do their very best to hold the rate down and will perorm we are sure in such a manner as to merit your confidence. Mr. Claude fl. Bowers, former edis’ is ! ' lyn the Fort Wa >'“° ■roniTiiaf-Gazo'tte, hits hit- the bull’s eye again. The selection of his new history, “The Tragic Era: The Revolution After Lincoln.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Smith Center. Km., Aug. 22. — (U.R)—One Inmate speed* over the hill to the Smith county poor farm In a motor car. A garage sent Arthur Nelson, county clerk, a bill for “repairs and labor cn dependent's car, $21.50.''

sures its success from the standpoint of circulation. The book will appear on September 6, and the publlshurs, Houghton Mifflin company, have or dered a first printing of 100,000 copies. Bowers is the first American historian to make history as interesting as the most breath-taking novel. He possesses the unique faculty of putting thrill into his books without distorting the facts. He knows what every historian ought to know, that facts are stranger than fiction. He has the energy and the industry 'o get the facts, even to the smallest detail. As this Is the age of the movie, one might as well say that the new history covers about the same per d as that covered by “The Birth of a Nation.” It begins with the assassination of Lincoln and closes at the end of the second Grant administration. What a wealth of drama! The murder of Lincoln, the impeachment .nd trial of President Johnson, the reign of the "carpet-baggers” in Hie south, the reconstruction of the nation, the scandals of the Grand administrations. The most colorful figure in the book will undoubtedly be Thad Stevens, the club-footed and picturesque leader of the Republican party ater the death of Lincoln. Stevens was the typo of man which will give full scope to the genius of Bowers for character sketching. When Bowers makes the profane old Penn- 1 sylvanian swear his readers will be able to smell sulphur. Mr. Bowers now has an international reputation as an historian, and as a parliamentary orator. It is easy prophecy to say that before spring trips north in 1930 his new book will have been reed and discussed in every hamlet in the Republic.
