The firemen's dance last evening was not
a success. The attendance was limited to
about four couple. and lights were blown
out at ten o'clock. The citizens meeting

pense thus incurred is about $50, making

A new hay burning stove has been manu-
featured and placed on the market by a
Chicago firm. The stove, a large sized one
costs with hay press, fifty dollars. The press
manufactures the hay into blocks 9x12 and

With this press the farmer at his leisure
can bale up hay for a years fuel and cord it
up as he would wood. 1t can be done rap
idly. The stove is supplied with all the
necessary attachments for cooking and bak-
ing, and if the "old thing works" as it is
claimed it will, it will doubtless come into
general use in the treeless portions of the
west. =.
