CUTTING THE GRAIN

A PRESS reporter drove out in the coun-
try several miles Sunday expecting to see
stacks Of grain on every knoll and not
much wheat standing, but he was doomed
to disappointme ent Stacks were in sight,
OF cour, Q, but Notwithstanding ten days
Of harvesting, the prairies seemed to be
one vast sea of ripe. waving wheat fields,
upon which the first ten days work had
no appreeiable effect.
But the first work was largely done
with binders, while from the latter part
of last week through the balance of bar
vest the headers big swath will NOW
down wheat at rapid rate, and by Sat
urday of this week prairie chickens will
be in possession of thousands of acres Of
stubble, or perched upon hundreds of
large wheat stacks. BY next Sunday
Hand county will look like a city of wheat
stacks.
Grain has ripened very rapidly on ac-
count Of the excessive heat, and the pres
ent large harvest Will doubtless be the
most rapid one eyer conducted In Hand
county.
A temporary relIei came to harvesters
Saturday night from the heat in nice
shower of rain, with some hail and wind

A LITTLE FUN IN POLITICS.

:, uazette, independent organ,--"The

that independents had chosen men who

by first charging that the PRESS omitted
some unlmportant words of the sentence,
by itself omitting words Of vital import

FLORENOE.

Wheat harve sting has been the business

Of the stalk. The result will be more

this will make the boys bow their backs

people of Hand county will this year have
a chance to vote for President OF the

believes, the contest lies between two men

one term as president, and upon the rec
ord of his administration each must
stand. So the issue is direct. and no one
need be mystifisd as TO the two men nor
