A decision for the defendant was PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR handed down Wednesday morning == | by the United States District Court of Missouri in the case of Hipple & Mc- Spadden vs Bates County. The suit grew out of the paving of the public square, in this -city, the work of which was done in the sum- mer and fall of 1910. The county court, at that time composed of Judg- es Paddock, Hyde and Harper, filed formal protest against the paving, and since that time, the county has re- fused to honor the special tax bills issued against the county in payment thereof.

Wheat sold under the Roosevelt ad- ministration at 50c and under McKin- ley it reached 38c. Wheat is cheap because it is still in the farmers’ hands with no place to store it. This condition has always existed, and it will continue to exist until the farm- ers realize and take advantage of the benefits of co-operation and erect their own elevators and warehouses or purchase those already erected. ON They are, as they have always been, Ra atthe mercy of the grain gamblers, and the only remedy have is in their own hands. They can make wheat i sell for $1 per bushel in the bin, or they can demand $2—and get it—as a matter of fact.—Osceola Democrat.
