Story City, adopted unique plan to
decide which one of his children
should take over the old homestead
south of town, consisting of quarter
section of land. There are five boys
and two girls in the family, most of
whom are living in town, and when
the father decided to dispose of the
land the question arose as to which
should have it. Finally the old gen.
tleman decided that he could receive
secret bids from the children, the one
bidding the highest to take the pro-

plan. the bids were opened and it was
TO and that Henry Donhowe was the
highest bidder, and consequently he
takes the homestead at $73 per acre.

That spirit of brotherly love which
makes all men kin was again demon
strated late Saturday afternoon when
about seventy-five men and boys with
half as many teams, went quietly to
the corn field of Frank G. Strayer,
while he was at the bedside of his
dying wife, and proceeded to pick and
crib his corn. Farmers and their
hired men left their own fields and
even business and professional men
and clerks from town, some of whom
had never before husked an ear, gladly
lent helping hand. Before evening
the entire 20 acres were picked and
something like 1900 bushels of the
golden grain gathered. Hudson Re-

likely to pass dull, stale, and un-
profitable winter. Usage Press.
