am a grass widower. You
ought to see our pancakes and
buiskets, they are immense, this
way of cooking reminds me of
1861, when we had just settled
in I,wa, in Black Hawk county;
father and l bought 800 acres Of
land, z miles east of Waterloo,
and Luilt a mansion 10 by IL
feet, and l did the cooking. We
sert for brother John to come
ard help US. He came on the
tran and retired for the night.
In the morning all we had to
do was to roll out of the bed and
lard by the table. Well, after
| Lad all the viands ready, l
would wake them up, telling
them breakfast is ready" then
John would open his eyes and
look at the table and say: 81
guess | don't want anything"
That said | must eat my pan
cals. q; alone. "My, he said, l
don't feel we'll, and back to Ill.,,
he vent, and | never knew what
made him homesick until now,
that it was my pancakes.
Up in Coles Hollow we will
do lots of talking. H. w. Clo-

Sleepy Hollow says they can
beat Coles Hollow. Now, don't
be too sure of that. We have a
progressive farmer if he only
wakes up, he will scoop you all
out. One year he took over $50,
in premiums. He had to stop
or he would have bankrupt the
county fair. Now as they have
cought up again, he may try
his luck again, so lookout.
/ notice all the farmers have
not dug their potatoes vet. 1t
looks as though they will have
tobe dug soon, dirt or no dirt
on them.

good time while they keep to-

Out on the Hood River, in Or
lyon, where they raise straw
berries by the car load, and ship
them even to Mo. Valley, they
