The Hall Grain Orader Company Wants to Erect a Factory at Independence. Mr. W. R. Rldgeway, of the Hall Grain Gradec company, is in the city exhibiting The Little Star Grain and Grass Seed Cleaning Machine, at the corner opposite the Union Implement Hardware Co'b establishment.

The machine does fine work and by its use tho farmers are enabled to properly grade and clean their grain and seed for sowing the yield from five to twenty buBh-els per acre. The Little Star Grain and Seed cleaner will enhance the value of any crop of grain or seed twenty to forty por cent. On an average farm it will pay for itself every year, with every twenty acres of ground cultivated. By using the Corn Grader, the farmer is able to provide an even and absolutely uniform "drop" from the corn planter. Edge drop or otherwise you are sure of the exact number of grains you wish in a hill.

By the use of this Grain Grader the farmer can increase the value of his crop in three different ways: 1. By increasing the yield per acre. 2. By raising the quality of the yield. 3.

By ridding the product of vile weed seed. The operation of the machine is drawing large crowds daily. The factory where the machines are manufactured is located at Winfield. Iowa, and on account of the prohibitory freight rates, Mr. Ridgeway is looking up a factory site in some town In southeastern Kansas to supply their constantly increasing trade in the south half of Kansas, south half of Missouri, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

The factory to be built in the southeastern town will start with not less than twenty-five to thirty men, and the number will be increased a9 fast as possible, as the needs of the business demands, to from one to two hundred 19 pounds Best Granulated Sugar for SCOTT BROS. Grocers and Queensware Dealers, Holyoke, Mass. Another of the many great public movements tnat have tbelr Inception In this city of tti? simple life was inaugurated here the other day. As the cry in Holyoke nearly half a century ago was: "Abolish slavery," so to-day it Is: "Abolish lay rum." It has been discovered that the distillation of the leaves ot the green bay tree Is full brother to thS stuff that steals away men's brains. It is also found that young men and old men who have their faces bathed with bay rum after shaving frequently go out and acquire what is technically known as a "bun." Local scientists have put two and two together, and unanimously conclude that the curse of rum is absorbed through the pores of the skin, begetting a thirst that accounts for the bustling activity with which so many men hustle from the hands of the barber to the nearest "simple room." Public sentiment, which in Holyoke can always be counted upon to be far ahead of the times, has demanded the exclusion of bay rum from the "ton-sorial parlors," and now, by general acclaim, along with the horseless carriage and the engineless train, this fair New England city has the bay-rumless barber shop, and the sweet odor of bay that was wont to lull to slumber the citizen when he made his semi-annual trip to the tonsorial artist to have his hair cut Is gone forever.

Water only is to be used hereafter. Real bay ruin costs $3 a gallon. The tonsorialiats are happy, tor they have subscribed to public opinion, and at the same time are saving money by their virtuous action. Indeed, it is rumored among the ungodly that the whole mutter of the dangers from bay rum was conceived and propagated by the barbers. One of them confidentially declared that the use of bay rum had become an intolerable burden, as all of the men in Holyoke wear whiskers, and these sopped up an astonishing quantity of the costly fluid.

Malcolm McConnell, owner of the-claim, received word Saturday in a letter. He had just arrived from San Francisco, where he and Miss Carrie McGuire were married a few days ago. They left Monday on the City of Seattle for Skagway and Dawson. McConnell has spent most of the past nine years in Alaska, where he has been successful.

He came out last fall, bringing a tusk and a few of the bones of the mastodon, which have been on exhibition. The letter received from his men said the remainder of the bones of the mammoth animal had been found, and telling him of the pocket of gold found in the eye socket in the skull.

Thousands and thousands of dollars taken from the sea every winter by the largest dory fleet iu New England is the proud boast, of this fishing village.

The summer visitor who sees these rugged fishermen arrayed as typical yachtsmen seeking to tempt the transients to embark for a dollar cruise at the cost of 25 cents little imagines that these same men during the winter months ply a vocation that, while hazardous in the extreme, gives better returns than the average "landlubber's" position, and that what the summer guest doles out as almost charity for the trip is simply "pin money" for the fishermen's wives.
