At the risk of being called a book
farmer, the writer would again suggest
the Importance of not waiting for wheat
to become dead ripe before beginning to
cut it. The past two months of rain in
dicates that there may be more rain be-
fore the grain can be put in shock, and
should that be the condition there will
be much loss in the fields. Some farmers
in Cottonwood township began cutting
wheat the middle of the week, and no
doubt that was done in other places in

to reform her husband, walked into
Judge Honore's court Saturday morning
an hour before court usually opens and
obtained an absolute divorce, $4,000
alimony and $4,929 expenses. Everything
was made as easy for her as possible.
AT o'clock the customary crowd of
sensation seekers who haunt the divorce
trials on Saturday had not arrived and
there was nobody in the room but the
judge, his clerk, the lawyers on both
sides, four witnesses for Mrs. Love, and
herself. The whole affair did not oc-.
cupy half an hour.
Mrs. Love went upon the stand and
testified to many acts of cruelty and bru-
tally committed by her husband and
was well supported by her witnesses,
who could not be shaken by Mr.. Loves
lawyers cross examination, received her
decree, was given certified check for
the expense bill and another for $25, 900,
half the alimony, and walked out of the
court room free woman.
Thus ends an episode which, beginning
as a romance, became tragedy, for the
past year. And, at the close of it, Mrs.
Love says:
"Don't marry man to reform him"
The Loves were married in October,
1898. The bride formerly was Miss
Minnie Cool of Faribault, MINI. At the
time of her marriage to Mr.. Love she
was the widow of a wealthy Philadel-
phian. The couples infelicities began
soon after marriage. They separated in
August, 1908.

an exclusive club. tombstone at that time
was being sued for divorce by his wife,
the daughter of Samuel w. Allerton.

tress.
Mrs. Love returned to Chicago, where
she was joined by her father Mr..
Love went to live with his mother.
Mrs. Love testified that she had re-
ceived no money from her husband since
their separation and that necessity COM
PEELED her to pawn her jewelry.
Sidney G. Love has been in the broker
age business in Chicago since 1898 and is

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry j. Korts were
coming to the city on their way from
st. Clair yesterday afternoon, when they
met an automobile. They turned out to
the side of the road, but did not turn
far enough to keep their horses from
taking fright at the auto. The animals
made sudden turn and upset the bug
gy. Mr.. Korts received bad blow on
the forehead, and was somewhat bruis-
ed. Mrs. .Korts was not much hurt. The
two men stopped their automobile after
they had passed and helped put the
bundles in the buggy and then went on.
DIR. Andrews happened that way and
assisted in getting the carriage into such
shape, that Mr.. and Mrs. Korts could
drive to the city. 1t is thought that the
two auto men live in Mankato.

the "Northside"- "Southside" ball game,

The people petitioned for public
sprinkling tank-wagon last spring. The
weather clerk has supplied the place of
the street sprinkler most thoroughly.
Pasturage charges are high in this

To cure a weak stomach is to take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at the
very first symptom. 1t does away with
starving and dieting yourself because
it puts the stomach in proper cOndi-
tion to digest the food. In this way
it cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Com
stipatior, Billlousness, Heartburn,
Insomnia, f1eada che, Cramps or
Diarrhoea. Nervous and sickly wo-
men also find the Bitters unequalled
as regulator and tonic. We urge a
fair trial.
