Mr.. Shell has received a letter
from Senator C. X. Davis in which is
enclosed letter from the department
stating that Worthington can be made
a display station for the signal service.
The matter has been turned over to
Mr.. r. B. Plots who will probably
send in the name of some one to SUI

apparatus. This is small beginning,
but may lead to something better.

The Pipestone Star reports that
Mrs. Barber, of Altoona township, re-
ceived returns last week from a car OF
barley she shipped to Milwaukee and
says: She received for the grain 81
cents per bushel, which, after deduct
ing 121 cents per bushel for commits
sion and freight, netted her 4Oa cents
per bushel, 6 or cents more than
could have been realized had it been
sold on the Pipestone market. Ex-
mayor Dyer, Stanley Brothers, G. }
Cawley and many others are shipping
all their grain this fall, and it begins
to look as though our home buyers
