poor crop prospects on Blake's
Prairie this year.
Henry Belscamper has pur-
chased the standard bred mare
Alma, formerly owned by the late
DR.. F. M. Cronin.
No other country has just
such plump and neat hog as
America produces in the Poland
China in the corn belt.
If you wish to be represented
in the Grant county fair book this
year it is best for you to make
immediate application for space.
The incest time to hoe the
garden or cultivate the cornfield is
when there are no weeds to be
seen, but you kill them just the
same.
p. r. Stoffel had a barn raising
yesterday that was attended by two
score or more of neigbbors and
friends. The structure is one of
best in the county.
We do not believe in wishing
anyone bad luck, but if a whole lot
of the delinquent subscribers to
this paper who were sent mid-sum-
mer statements do not respond,
there'll be trouble.
-Four days of 80 degree tempera-
ture in June will do more for the corn
crop than four weeks of IS degree
temperature in May. Corn de-
velops wonderfully quick when
given heat and moisture and warm
nights.
-''Did you say that man in
the kitchen with you last night is
a relative, Norah" Eyes num-"
HE didn't look like very close
one, Norah." "Oh well, mum, you
should have seen him before you
opened the doorr'
Have you noticed when you
meet a doctor he says: ''How are
you?" a newspaper man inquiries:
"What do you know?" But a
lawyer hits you on the back and
calculates: what have gotta" and
the preacher asks: Where are
you going9"
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Congregational church will meet in
the church parlors Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. j. G. Fisch-
er will entertain in the way of re-
freshments. A cordial invitation is
extended to all ladies interested IN
this work to attend.
The windmill on the farm
should be made to do far more
useful work than it usually does.
1t should do the churning, the
separating, turn the grindstone,
the corn shelter and the feed
grinder, and specially should be
made to furnish the farm home
with a supply of water under
pressure. AS it is, nine out of ten
mills do nothing but pump the
water for the stock.
The Masons of the Royal Arch de-
gree had good time Monday even
ing at their hall in this city at the
expense of Atty. HI. E. Carthew and
the humble editor of this great fam
lily journal, and we haven't been the
same since. Reub. French Of
Bloomington was to have been a
fellow sufferer to complete the re-
quisite trio-the goat won't work
without three victims-but he got
scared out or something and failed
to show up when the word was
given. Atty. Herbert Moses was
elected to be a filler" and the1
everything went on swimmingly
We haven't recovered sufficiently az
yet to be able to give a complete &C
count of the program in detail a.
this time and small installment
will have to suffice-in fact we be
lieve the management is not much
gone on newspaper publicity any
way, for he made us promise we
wouldn't say anything about it
After regaining consciousness we
were rubbed down and fed, ani
that's all that saved us. The re
freshments were excellent, such as
the Eastern Star ladies are noted fol
fixing and all in all the event was 6
very pleasant one to all present
we're sure we won't forget it for q
long time.
