THEN HE MADE HIS ESCAPE
Papa Had an Idea Which Proved to
Be Just What Was
Needed.

This may not be L new way of get
ting rid of a persistent caller, but it
has certainly not grown stale by ap-
plication, and has the interest of an
actual recent occurrence, relates Judge.
The fathers business takes him out
OF town good deal. and the daugh-
ter has caller with whom there is
an understanding that it is only the
final stage before the engagement. The
other night the father served gen.
eral notice that he must take an early
train, and must be called for it. The
same evening came the fortunate
young man referred to.
BY ten o'clock the cid gentleman had
the fidgets, and rapidly reached the
conclusion that his comfort was a
minor consideration in that house
hold. This is not true, but it is a
conviction that frequently seizes the
head of family when he is out of
sorts. He slammed several doors as a
reminder to the caller. He raised the
same noisy window three times, an
it always makes more noise when be-
ing lowered. He put out lights wher-
ever they were not an absolute neces-
sity, called to the younger children
that it was high time they were
asleep, and dropped a shoe every
three or four minutes with hope that
it would serve as a hint. 49,
When everything else had failed,
and his patience was about exhausted,
he went to the top of the stairs and
shouted: ., ..
"Gladys,r did or did I not tell you
to call me at 4:30, 50 that I could get
my $train?" 81
"You told me, papa" -. !
'''Why in creation didn't you attend
to it, them" . ..,. .......s.. :,
H.. For less than. a minute there was
some tall hustling below stairs and
one could have heard a pin drop while
the caller was making his sneak into
outer darkness. &. 8 81 I'D

held its monthly meeting Sept. Z at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs A. Higbie,
with good attendance.
The vice-president called the meet
ing to order and the club joined In
singing Shall We gather at the riy-
err" Prayer was then offered by f.
A. Burkhart, After the secretary's
report was read and accepted, the
question of picnic dinners was con-
tinued from last month, but the ma
iority decided it best to continue in
the old way-the hostess, with her
selected helpers, providing the dinner
or tea which ever it might be.
G.. F. Colby was to read a paper,
"Wise and Otherwise" but was not
present.
Mrs. Ralph read a pocln entitled
BILLY and T. which was well APP
preciated. The secretary then called
the roll and nearly all responded with
some current event, when proved to
be highly instructive.
The question box was conducted
by Mrs. e. A. Burkhart with the fol-
lowing question:
Would you raise wheat?" Mr.
Higbie thought under the present
price and yield We could not afford
to use land for it,
What effect will the action of the
government have on the stock of the
country This was discussed quite
freely and thought it had already re-
duced the price of poor stock; that
it would have a tendency to raise the
price of good stock, and would be
eventually good thing for the
farmer.
What do you think of the state
fair?' Mrs. Ralph said she was dis
appointed in the fair, but thought
the exhibits were good The fair
was also discussed by some others.
and all agreed the fair educational
If only the saloon and show tents
could be left out
DO you think wheat will do as
well on bean ground without plow-
1ng?" 1t was decided to be better
providing a good seed bed could be
worked up.
What do you think of the weather
man." 1t was agreed that he got
the weather very correct and it was
helpful to the rural man.
Does the farmer have more labor
saving conveniences than his wife?"
Mrs. Beckley could not say, but GER
tainly the wife has more than she
had 30 or 40 years ago. She men
toned good many of them and
said If We would stop to count them
we would find many more.
When is the best time to SOW
wheat?" 1t was answered by the
one that held the question-never
But others thought from the 10th
to the goth. One thought not later
than the 18th.

was thought to be if it was going to

What is the prospect of beans in

Crop Report.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE
wheat yield in Michigan is now esti-
mated at twelve bushels per acre. The
state crop report, issued Monday, says
that considerable thrashing has been
done and the crop is not yielding as
well as expected. The grain is badly
shrunken and light in weight. The
quality is estimated at II per cent.
What is true OF wheat is in a meas
ure true Of oats. The yield is below
the average and the quality below the
| standard. The estimated yield is 29
| bushels. Rye is estimated to yield
| IA bushels.
The weather during August was re-
| markedly favorable for corn ana
there are good prospects for an abun-
| dant yield. In the southern coun'
ties, where most of the crop is raised
the per cent of condition is 95.
Beans are somewhat affected BY
drought and blight, but promise a
| fair crop quit large acreage having
| been harvested in good condition
The crop promises Sc per cent.
Peas are estimated to yield eighteen
bushels per acre.
The prospect for potatoes in the
southern and central counties is quite
favorable, although somewhat affect
ed by blight and lack of moisture. In
the northern counties the crop has
been seriously injured by the long
| continued drought. The condition of
the crop is, in the state and central
counties, 80; in the southern coun-
| ties, SO, and in the northern coun-
| ties, rs.
The condition of clover seed is esti-
mated at rs per cent.
Live stock is generally in good con-
dition, but owing to poor pastures
in some localities, caused by excessive
drought, farmers are feeding cattle
and horses.
Following is the ticket which the
| democrats of the county placed in
| nomination at the casino Monday af-
ternoon:
For Representative-W. A. Wood.
ard, OwOssO.
For Sheriff-Warren Jarrad.
For Clerk-James II. LawcOck, ol
