POST BILL
AROUSES INTEREST

Representative w. I. Nolan of
Minneapolis is attaining much
notoriety thru his bill for the
whipping of wifebeaters. He
has received a letter from the
Humane society in Orange, N. j.,
asking for a copy of the bill and
has received the following letter
from much interested man at
Glencoe, this state:
'The writer of this don't think
you will have enough savages to
pass your whipping post bill, but
would say if you would pass a
bill to tie a cable chain on the
women's tongues you would save
the post anyway, besides all the
drunkards, murder, desertion,
divorces, ruined homes, for men
only can stand the lashing of a
woman's tongue day and night.

a COW which he wanted to sell,

newspaper, which read like this:
Owing to i'll health I will sell

plush raspberry COW, aged eight
years. She is of undaunted cour-

To a man who does not fear death

boon. She is very much attach

anyone who will agree to treat
her right. She is one-fourth

FARMERS LAND WAS SOUR
Simple Test With Litmus Paper,
Showed Acid.

Simple Test With Litmus Paper
Showed Acid.
The state experiment stations are
doing a great work for the farmers.
The following incident shows how
simple some of the tests are when
you know how" says writer in
Country Life in America. A station
official was going over farm with the
owner when they came to a crawfishy
piece of land just back of the barn,
the very weeds looked yellow and un.
healthful.
II am inclined to think" remarked
the agriculturist, that this land is too
acid for productivity. We can de-
termine this in moment"
Taking blue piece Of paper from
his pocket he stopped and dipped the
paper in some of the soil water that
was standing in COW track. To the
owners astonishment the blue paper
changed to red color as soon as it
was immersed.
There" said the agricu!turist, 1--WE
have our proof. This is just a piece
of litmus paper. For cents you can
buy a similar piece at any drug store.
It's change of color shows that the
land is sour. Crops cannot thrive on
sour land any more than children
can thrive on sour milk"
