A library purchase, Pioneer Women, ties frontier life to a modern hotel stop near Boot Hill.

Soybean prices seen staying low in 1985 harvest
Ohio State University economist Dennis Henderson says farmers with stored soybeans face continued low prices due to weak exports and sluggish demand. The July planting report shows soybean acreage down about 6 percent from 67.7 million acres last year, and carryover is projected around 300 million bushels versus 176 million last year, signaling little near term price relief.
