the most successful moves yet made by
the a%ntl-piggers, and evidence is forth
coming to prove the charges made.
Trim up the shade trees and pick off
the worms. The lower limbs of shade
trees should be taken off each year until
the first limb is six to ten feet above the
ground. The enemy of green leaves-a
monstrous green worm-is getting in it's
deadly work. The worm can hardly be
distinguished from the leaves, but you
can find him where the leaves are al
ready taken off, or in that vicinity. It is
easy to raise shade trees if they are pro-
tected.
A fertile little garden spot may be
found on the south side of Main street
opposite the First National bank, where
weeds and other forms of vegetation

The %excavating of the foundation
bitches for the capitol extension was

11:5O Tuesday night, having made the
trip to Minneapolis and return, and
transacted his business in a period of
twenty-nine hours away from home.
There are some pretty dismal rumors
aaoat as to dark and mysterious means
used to accomplish the defeat Of the
lean men in Fridays game, and as soon
as the lean ones shall have ceased the
external applications Of arnica and court
plaster, they will rearrange their
players, and challenge the fat men to
another bout, this time for blood. The
lean men have great confidence in their
abilities, and feel that they will next
time wipe the fats from the face of the
globe.
