urday received check for 1922,

Archie Stewart of Underwood has
sold his big farm Of $40 acres in
that township to John E. Burchard
and NJ. W. Harden of Marshall for
$16, 900, which does not include the
personal property on the farm. The

considered a bargain.
G. c. Cofey and family, who have

The contractors on the bridge
across the Minnesota river at North
Redwood will commence the work
of putting in the new steel bridge
as soon as cold weather sets in. The
company having the contract con,
tends that it will be cheaper for the
concern to put the bridge in after
the river is frozen over ia Decem

s;oners have not only neglected the
site for the bridge north of Belview
but have not awarded the contract
for constructing the bridge. Their
work is considered very slow by
the farmers on either side of the
river who are interested in the con
struction of the river crossing.

The catfish uses lis lungs as an organ
Of hearing. The needless lung becomes
q closed sac filed with air and COM
monty known as the swim bladder. In
the catfish, as In the suckers, clubs
and most brook fish. the air bladder
is large and Is connected by a slender
tube. the remains Of the trachea, to the
oesophagus. At its front it fits closely
to the vertebFal column. The anterior
vertebrae are much enlarged, twisted
together, and through them passes q
chain Of bones. which connects with the
hidden cavity Of the air. The bladder
therefore assists the ear Of the catfish
as the tympanum and it's bones assist
the ear Of the higher animals. An ear
Of this sort can carry little range Of
variety in sound 1t probably gives
only the impression Of Jars or disturb

Harvesting Spring Wheat with
Headers.

harvesting spring Wheat With
Headers.
The great rapidity with which wheat
can now be harvested by means Of i'm.
proved self binders has lessened the i'm
portance Of the header. However, it is
still used quite extensively in the spring
wheat growing regions Of the north
west and has its advantages. A wide
swath is cut, and where a number of
machines are used in the same field an
immense amount of grain can be taken
care Of. The horses push the machine
in front CT them. Only enough Of the
straw is taken off to get all the heads.
The grain is run directly into tight
wagon boxes especially made for the
purpose. It is hauled Immediately to
the stack and there remains until
thrashing time.
where the grain has been allowed
to get very ripe there is much less loss
from SCATTERING when the header is
used for cutting. The grain is not han
died so often and the tight boxes catch
all the berries that fall out between the
field and the stack. On the other hand,
it is a difficult task to handle headed
grain. beth In getting it on the stack
and from the stack to the machine. The

with the following typewritten notice
posed on the end:
"This man is on his way to Georgia

A LIGHTHOUSE IN A CEMETERY.
Marble Oae Erected in an English Bury-
Ing Ground.

Ing Ground.
Throughout the world there are hun
dreds of lighthouses dotted along the
coast, but lighthouse in the midst of a
cemetery is rare thing. Such a one,
however, has just been erected in the
cemetery at Ulverton, Lancashire, En-.
A Miss Wilson had it built in remem-
braHce of her father. who died in London
eighteen months ago.
The structure, which is twenty-three
feet in height, with a spreading base
twenty-five feet in circumference, and
eight feet in diameter, is constructed %
white Carrara marble. 1T is surmounted
with small dome and ball, supported
on four pillars, and between these is a
chamber, ornamented with moulded
cornice and containing the radiatinG Ian
tern.
The light is forty-candle power, and
the lamp has burning capacity Of about
thirteen feet of gas per hour.
On the fine "die block" Immediately
beneath the entrance door Ia cut in bold
relief a large and beautifully carved
| anchor, bearing across it the words, "An
Anchor for the Hope OF Sorrow Through
All Time" The chain flashes with a
broken link, the other end being buried
in the rock.
The whole of the base of the light
house is skillfully carved to represent
| waves breaking against the rocks, and a
coping covered with sea sand is going
to be erected around this, IN order 10
give the whole thoroughly realistic APP
pearance.

Mr.. LAWS SENSATION.

Representative Law made such a SEN
sationaI speech on the floor of the joint
assembly yesterday that a brief review
of it may not be out of place
May God forgive me for telling the
lie said Mr.. Law, with dramatic en-
phasis. L think the circumstances jus
titled it; did it for the honor Of Utah. -
And he proceeded to narrate the cir
cumstances Of an alleged meeting be-
tween himself and one Of the senatorial
candidates.
Now, this young man who lies for
the honor of Utah, according to his
own confession, related ., most remark
able story. Comment on the facts in
volved in the case would be obviously
improper until the investigating COM
mittee makes its report. This review is
confined TO the speech itself
IN the first place, Law says he was
told to name his own price and terms"
Further along ne expresses a sort Of
wounded indignation at the figure he
claims was agreed upon.
Asked 10 name the amount he SAYS:
Fifteen hundred dollars my fellow
legislators, for a man to sacrifice his
American citizenship, my honor, our
state, our republic. That was the price
agreed upon
Come to think OF it, that is a small
amount for Mr.. Law to agree to sell
all those things for. Particularly since
he discounted it 81 APO for cash in hand.
After asking God to forgive him for
telling lie, MI Law proceeds: L did
not take advantage Of the gentleman's
offer because am not built that way.
1 claim 10 be an honest man, and can
not ne sweryed by money from truth
and the line Of duty"
We submit, il Mr. Law is really that
scrt OF q man, the price was entirely
too low.
'-But. having listened 10 a speech
made by Representative O'Nen yester-
day. l considered my duty to disclose
what WAS offered to me-"
So, besides being built on particular
plans and specifications, Mr.. Law has
the gift Of second sight. it seems. He i
concluded, while listening to 0'NeTs /

receive four twenty-dollar bills next

ROOM AT HOME TO GROW.

While the annexation of the Philip
pines under other conditions and with
the peaceful consent of the Fflipinos
would, no doubt, prove mutually bene-
fetal to the islands and this country.
the United States can do without the
Philippines better than the Philippines
can get along without the United
States.
The main reason urged for their re-
tention is one of obligation and moral
responsibility" The chief objections
are based upon legal and moral
grounds. But one Of the most potent
arguments against annexation is found
ed on financial consideration, which.
however, Overlooks the compensating
returns in commercial opportunities
and the latent resources of the archi-
pelago.
But there is absolutely nothing in the
contention that we need the islands for
our surplus population, as the following
table Of comparisons clearly shows:
