prowlinp around the ruins of once happy
homes, and picking up and appropriating
any article of value they can find, and they
find many-in some cases even money.
Some 60 beyond the river in the track of
the storm with wagons and gather up any
article that Is not utterly ruined. A wo-
man known to the authorities picked up
money and jewelry in the wreck of house,
and appropriated it. Wretches like these,
sneak thieves, trying to profit by so dire a
calamity are disgrace to human nature.
Monticello Times: A week ago Sunday
Bert Houston, of Silver creek, a little boy,
went out to hunt the COWS. He got lost
and wandered into territory unknown to
him. The whole neighborhood was
alarmed and guns were fired and horns
we're blown, and search was made as
thorough as possible; but Bert knew moth
ing of it. Icstead of getting confused he
collected his wits, thought over the situa-
ton, and, remembering having heard his
grandfather tell that the COWS always knew
the way home, be followed them, and
finally arrived home all right, to the Joy
of all.
Henderson Independent: A very re-
markable case relating to Matching COB

turkey-hen Immediately repaired to her
nest and succeeded in laying second
Matching of eggs whereupon the gobbler
planted himself and in course of time
succeeded in Matching out the young

from the shock. He threshed altogether
2.716 bushels of wheat and 1,033 bushels of
oats. machine measure. Ninety acres of
wheat on his farm north Of town averaged
251{ bushels per acre. The wheat crop
raised on this farm in 1928 amounts to
$500 bushels, which pays $4,000, the orig
inal cost of the farm and all expenses of
breaking and raising the two crops. The
farm south of town is seeded down to
timothy and clover for q stock farm, and
it will gradually be stocked with the best
blooded stock that can be found.
Morris Tribune: There cannot be
much doubt that the favorable returns
from crops, this season, will give Mime
sofa something of boom. Much money
has been anxiously waiting the results of
our harvest, and now that the vast fields
have yielded all that was expected of
them, and in many cases much more, we
may expect to see a great increase of
business in all lines. Onr harvest has
been as good an advertisement for immi-
grafton, as could be asked for, and the
news of it has spread far and wide. All
things considered the prospects for our
financial advancement as apeople and a
state were never more prosperous than at
the present time.

first named gentleman was grown on old

thirty bushels to the acre, the best yield he
ever had on the same land. Thos. Zim-
merman's was from last years breaking

thirty-one bushels to the acre. They be-
gan threshing at 8 o'clock and with but
three teams hauling the wheat from the
