H.iRI-ESTEIs TRIAL

Victory and success to the Adams
and French Harvester, the only ma
chine present ut the Harvester trial ut
Worthington. Five machines were to
have competed, but when the day of
trial came, they all with one accord be-
gan to make excuses. One must go and
set up Il III chine. Another could not
leave his shop. The third could not
get ready, and the fourth, agent of the
Marsh, was the only one that was will
ing to test his machine with the Adams
and French, and he refused because the
others all backed down. The Adams
and French was tried OH Mr. Klingen-
smiths farm in oats and flax and did
it's work nicely and scientifically. Mr..
X. says he likes the machine because it
is SO easy OH the horses, there being no
side draft,
Only three of the Tiger Self-Dump
ing Hay Rakes left. They sell ut $40
each and are worth at least $50 more
than amy rake in this market. Come
soon it you want u bargain. at Rod

THE (1RASSEYOPPEIcS

we are Invaded" again. They extend
east as far as Martin County, west as
far as Yankton, south as far rs Sibley,
and north, we suppose, to Alaska.
They have destroyed most of the crops
except wheat, which has not, up to this
time. been greatly damaged. Mr.. Btu
chanan came over las might from Rock
County and reports the wheat crop of
that county and of the Sioux Falls re-
cion still almost intact. But they will
of course harvest the wheat next unless
farmers can get in ahead of them and
cut their wheat. There is bare pos
sibility that the wheat crop, in the
main, will escape, and we are sure of
our cattle and other live stock. Really,
we shall be grateful if they do not eat
the shirts off our backs. Our hope is
that friendly tornado OF 4 three days
''blizzard'' will come and blow them
away. "H0w long!''

Some of our friends think our article
on the temperance meetings calculated
to create the impression that our peo-
pie have lost their interest in temper
ance. This comes from confounding
the temperance feature of the Colony
with the Worthington monthly tenn
perance meetings. The temperance fea-
ture never was surar Or stronger than
it is to-day. The temperance meetings
lost their interest to Il great extent
during the past year, and 50 decided
had this lack Of interest become that
the President suggested that they be
abandoned. But Il vote WAS taken ut
one of the meetings and it was resolved
to continue them and endeavor to re-
vive the public interest in them. If

successful. Judging from the favor
