We are much pleased to note the rapid re-
turn to health of Miss Tina Stewart, who is
visiting her uncle, Alexander Stewart and
family. Miss Stewart was most alarmingly
i'll, and is still far from well, but youth, a
good constitution and careful nursing will
bring her through, God willing.
Duncan Macarthur returned some lime ago
from Kentucky, where he spent last winter
and this summer. He looks well and declares
he likes the country and people in very many
ways-especially the winter-or lack of it
but the real reason for his living there is
probably that his wife's health is very much
better. He returns shortly to the same place.
Two young devotees of the cycle started
out for chicken the other morning. True to
the traditions Of childhood, they took no
deadIy,weapons, but each bore d handful of
salt. Soon a covey of chicks was flushed and
then to see those fiery youths careering over
the prairie in mad endeavor to sprinkle the
tails of the fleeing birds. They got one in
some ~way-which is as good as some do with
a double-barrel. Better get q Winchester.
John Hedges had a narrow escape from
serious injury at the hands of a young cy-
clone one day last week. He and bis broth
er were stacking wheat and h.d just flashed
throwing off a load, the brother having step
ped to the ground, when the rack was sud-
denly blown from the wagon and whirled on
top of the stack, knocking him down then
getting on top of him. When finally released
he was pretty badly bruised, and has no de-
sire to repeat the experience.
Our Willow City brethren have a rather
peculiar way of doing things. A few
weeks ago two travelling men struck that
town. One was a specialist in the fitting
of spectacles and was an expert in that
line. His coming was a benefit to the
community and interfered with nobody's
business. The other was taking orders
for shirts and underwear. Both were ar
rested in Willow City for peddling without
license. The oculist was fined and the
other fellow released. Which goes to
show that you may peddle shirts all you
want, but you'll get fined for fitting spec
tacles-ln Willow City.
That the crop is small this year. no one
can deny. And that the. price is below
all reason, is apparent. What is to be
done? The farmers are deeply involved
many of them-and with present crop
and prices, canno hope to pay all obliga-
lions. On the other hand, the merchants
and other business men have sold goods
on time trusting to the crop to help them
discharge their own Indebtedness. They
lave no more credit, because the general
closeness in the money market makes it
impossible for wholesalers to do business
except on a cash basis. Now it seems to
us that everyone should do what he can to
discharge his obligations to his home deal.
er, Possibly he annot pay all he owes,
but nearly everyone can pay enough to
help out. During other hard years, the
merchants extended credit and carried
men from n year to another because
they could in turn get credit from whole
sale houses. Now. however, it is differ.
ent. Our local business men are crowded
BY their creditors and must in turn look
