HARVEST IN FULL BLAST
Wheat in Russell Greek Section
Gives Good Yield
FORTY BUSHELS TO ACRE The MERAGE
DAMAGE TO GRAIN ON EUREKA
FLAT NOT AS GREAT AS
FIRST REPORTED.
FORTY BUSHELS TO ACRE THE AVERAGE

Harvesting is now in full blast all
over Walla Walla county, and many
threshing machines are being worked
in almost every section of the county.
Reports from Russell creek neighbor-
hood are that the wheat is yielding on
an average of 40 bushels to the acre.
On some farms it has fallen lower
than that amount and in other in
stances it has been much larger. Along
the line Of the o. r. &, N. south of
Walla Walla wheat is turning out 40
bushels to the acre.
Reports from Eureka Flat show that
while the grain was damaged to some
extent by the recent hot winds, the
yield will be better than was expected
by the farmers. The farmers claim
that there is a shortage of harvest
hands and it is hard to get enough
men to handle this years crop.

DELINQUENT TAXES
Annual Tax Sale Held at Court House
Monday Smaller than It Has
Been for Several Years

At Audubon Monday the rem
nants of the delinquent list was Of
fered for sale and it was found
that only two pieces of land were
left delinquent on the list and
ftty-two lots in the different towns
were left to spoil the record.
The list when first published,
contained about the usual number
of delinquencies, but, being pub
lished this year in the Audubon
County journal, the list gained ac-
cess into hundreds of homes more
than it has for years past, and
many have read of their delin-
quency that otherwise would not
have heard of 1T.
This alone caused many to cave
the costs of the sale and build the
best record for Audubon county for
fewer delinquencies than any
other county in Iowa. Treasurer
BRENNAN knew his business we'll.

AS a cry of distress from the darkness
An appeal from the heart to the
heart,
From a disco uraged soul in the battle
of life
Discouraged when yet but a start
Has been made, comes the
Cry from the young man in business,
which way. which way must I turn
Must / sacrifice for glittering gold
The soul of an honest MANI"
Can an honest man in this heartless
world,
A world too busy to care
For the sorrows and fears our COM
rades know,
Or the bitter grief that is gnawing SO
At the heart of some child of God?
Can soulful man win the prize in the
strife,
Or to do so, must he sacrifice
His very soul to pay the price?
Oh, no; for in this life
No real happiness or joy
Ever comes to the soulless man.
And So. young man, as an unknown
friend,
Who is battling alone with life,
And who heard your cry and listened,
And who knows too well the city's
Tonight when the day is finished
And I hold sweet communion with
God,
will pray to him to lead you
In the path He would have us trod.
