1t is said that the demand for tur-
keys this fall is greater than ever be-
fore and that there is shortage in
the supply. Every farmer in the
county could make S1G0 by raising tur-
keys, and they would be of but little
care and expense if properly attended
to.
"A new game called Editors De-
light is played in this wise: Take a
sheet of ordinary writing paper, fold
carefully and enclose bank note suf-
ficiently large 10 pay up all arrears
and one year in advance. What adds
immensely to the pleasure of the game
is to send along the name of new
subscriber or two, accompanied by
cash. Keep an eye on the editor, and
if a smile adornS his face the trick
works like charm. Now is the time
to play the joke.-EGchdnge.

The st. James Plaindealer last
week contained severe roast of the
Mankato Democracy for it's shabby
treatment of the ST. James Democrats
after inveigling them to attend the
parade in this city upon the promise
Of return excursion. The Reuieao
admitted that promises might have
been made, and made lame attempt
to excuse the breach of faith. The
Plaindedler came back at our cOntem-
porary this week as follows: "For
the enlightenment of the RevieaU we
will say that the Pldiudedler enter
tanned and expressed all this indigna-
tion by reason of the belief that a
certain class of our citizens had been
most shamefully treated by the Man
katO Democracy. The Ptdindedler is
Republican paper but this does not
prevent US from resenting an insult
to our citizens or any portion of them.
Please remember that this paper is
distinctly st. James institution. !"
