"Spooks and Hobgoblins,' and many
other laughable and attractive pleas
antries. If you wish to enjoy a fine

II took your advice, Mr.. Editor, and
planted a few acres of potatoes more
than intended to plant last year and
the year before, and I came out all
right; now what do you advise this
year," remarked Wyanett farmer
one day last week. In the ordinary
course of events poptatoes should not
command a big price next fall. A great
deal depends upon the weather. Heavy
rains may prevent the planting Of po-
tatoes on clay lands. If we were
the owner of piece of soil suitable for
potatoes in a wet season, we would
plant every acre of it and take our
chances. In any event there is no crop
that will guarantee better results in
this vicinity. There is no money in
wheat at so cents per bushel.
There are some tough citizens in
Sank Rapids judging from the follow
ing items from the Sentinel:
A lady living on Grand street has
taken great pains in protecting her
flock of chickens from thieves and
other varmints during the winter and
spring, and among the many precau-
tions and devices she arranged and
dressed a figure to resemble a woman,
and every night she placed the dummy
| in the hen house. '"The woman in
white" proved mascot and a terror to
thieves, and night after night, for
weeks and months the 'sghost'' guarded
we'll the door of the aforesaid hen coop.
4 Last Sunday night, however, the lady
neglected to place the ssghosto in posi-
ton and some wicked and hungry
wretch took advantage of the absense
of the woman in white" and entered
the chicken house and deliberately
stole three large hens.
There are some folks in this towr
who are continually looking about fol
articles of value that can be carried
away unnoticed. OF course they will
not take anything they cannot lift, bu
they strain themselves to quite de
gree occasionally.
To illustrate what a cramp some PEG
pie are troubled with once in whil'
we have but to say that one night thi
week these midnight providers visited
, a house on Cliff street and carrie,
, away the back stairs that were firml,
, attached to the house.
It stands the citizens in hand t
anchor down their houses, else som
night they will be transferred to a.
adjoining lot, and possession, 70
: know, is nine points.

rays restaurant, Cowles building.
