A lately arrived young man was

—Rev. Crane 13 evidently agraduate
from the college of hard knocks and he
saved a few of them to hand out to
the student bodies of the rival insti-
tutions of learning. Mr. Crane has
created quite an uproar over the coun-
try through telling some of the facts
about the average collegiate. He puts
them down as much short of what
they should be to fill the places of
their fathers, even though the fathers
many of them, never had the opportu-
nity of more than a common school
education, and many of them not
even that.—Enid Eagle.
—The hog market at the big ship-
ping centers has been taking one tum-
ble after another for the last two
weeks, uDtil the price has declined
nearly $1 per cwt. It was thought
that when last Mondav’s market open-
ed there would be & slight reaction,
but iustead a decline of 10 to 15 cents
was the result, followed by another
like break the next day. This decline,
together with the heavy losses that
the farmers have sustained from the
swine plague, makes it rather discour-
aging to the hog grower. The Journ-
al’s live ttock reporter thinks It advis-
able to hold their hogs for the spring
market, at which time they are pretty
sure to be higher in price.

T. B. JOLLY,
—If Charley Blye doesn’t walk off
with the first prizes on cane, corn and
and kaffir corn at the Wakita corn
carnival this week, It will be because
there is better crops ln Grant county
this year than most of us are aware of.
He brought a few samples in from
the farm Wednesday and we doubt if
there is anything in the county to
beat it. The kaffir was extra long
heads, all well filled, and perfect in
shape. The corn is of the yellow va-
riety, and is well tilled, smooth, firm
and heavy. Two stalks of cane meas-
ured just a trifle under fourteen feet
each.
Anthony Band Makes a Hit.
The Anthony Military band,
which was engaged for two days at
the Hutchinson state fair, made a
decided hit. not only at the fair,
but at Wonderland park, Wichita
On Sunday afternoon and evening
the band played concerts at Won-
derland, and while the audience
was rather small in the afternoon, a
good crowd was out in the evening,
and showed that they appreciated
the concert.
We do not like to be partial, bi
a sense of justice impels us to s;;
that while the band as a whole, di
some good work, a great portion ,
the success was due to the excel
tional work of Manager Reitz. M
Reitz made a hit with the Wichit
people with his solos, Tram|
Tramp. Tramp,” and ‘‘Downontli
Farm, bo well was the large and
lence pleased with these that the
would not be satisfied until he ha
repeated.
—R. F. Watkins and the editor c
the Journal went to Hutchinson wit
the Anthony band the first of th
week. And even with that, they ha<
a mighty good band up there.
Dr.s McKee & Michael hav
moved their dental office to thi
front rooms over the Citizen
State bank. Will return weel
of October 2Jrd. Phone 58.
