The creamery recently establis-
he'd at Penn, Ramsey county, has
started out far beyond the most
sanguine expectations OF the
promoters. The patrons OF the
creamery arc mostly Germans
and Scandinavians, formerly
from Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where this industry is the main
support OF the country. The
creamery is now running to it's
full capacity. and its product is
giving excellent satisfaction

Here is acurious little editorial
from The Arcadia, (kas. } Times
The Times will not discuss
politics in this campaign. 1t
will say a few words now, nd
them hold it's peace. We left the
republican party in 1896 and
supported William J. Bryan.
For eight years we have followed
his leadership. We are with him
today. and expect to be with
him four years hence. The St.
Louis platform is not altogether
satisfactory. and the ticket is
worse. We think that Parker
and Roosevelt are both owned,
soul, body and breeches, by the
money power. On the other
issues we are for Parker, and
shall vote for him. Roosevelt
will be elected. 1t will take six
figures to write his majority in
Kansas. This our individual
opinion, and this is the first, last
and only mention OF matter in
these columns. ''The Times is
distinctly a local newspaper"
The growth OF vegetation.
particularly OF prairie prass. is so
luNuriant this season that far
mers and residents of the countr"
districts will do well to be on
their guard against prairie fires,
which are certain forage in many
localities during the fall season.
More annual damage is done in
this state from prairie fires than
from hail or other elemental
disturbances. The prudent far
mer will surely take time in sea-
son to pillow fire guards about
his house, his barn, his stack Of
grain and hay, and not content
with that, will burn off the fire
guards thus plowed, affording a
double protection to his proper
ty. It's difficult, almost impos-
sible in a country sparsely set
tied in many places, to prevent
prairie fires, but the prudent
farmer can protect himself with
fire guards, which, properly pre-
pared, will in a great number OF
cases be found efficient in the
protection Of property. The
stockman will also look to his
range. Bismarck Tribune.
