VIM. Kuester, well-known farm
er who has been living in Spring
field, fell dead on the road along
the Cottonwood river, near that
place last Friday. Mr.. Kuester had
been in good health and left home
last Friday, telling his wife that he
was going to look up some wood.
When he did not return Mrs. Kues-
ter supposed that he had gone to
his farm in Leavenworth and moth

Olivia Times: We looked at a
piece Of coal Monday, small por-
ton of what is probably a very
large bed of that valuable substance,
which Willis Braley found on part
of his big farm up in Alberta. An
experienced miner who examined
the coal bed stated that it was bet
ter coal than that found in newly
opened mine near Raymond, some
thirty miles away. We are glad Mr..
Braley has been so fortunate, as he
can dispose of all the coal he pro-
duces at a fair price.
Granite Falls Tribune: They are
telling of the success or non-success
of the fairs. but reasons given for
such failure depends largely on the
view the writer takes of the occur
ences. One thing can be relied on
for a certainty: Farmers will not
stop work to attend anything ex-
cepting their own funeral. They
were behind this year with their
work and kept at it when the horses
were going around the track better
than 40, but such speed had no
attraction for them.
Active preparations have been in
augurated for the annual conven-
ton Of the Minnesota Butter and
Cheese Makers association to be

Editor Landy acknowledges the
receipt of the sack of barley sent
him in the following manner: eve

week for a sack of barley in ex.

the News. Farmer w. j. Hines Oh
Olivia saw the ad and he straight.
way went to his granary, filled up &
sack, mailed it to us and called fol-
his receipt. When the sack arrived
lit was found to be little short ir
one end and measured less ia cir
conference than the standard grair
sack. Then, too, the local grair
buyers wanted to dock us three

was adding insult to injury. The
amount of the net proceeds in the
transaction shows that we are
soaked. but we still believe it pays
to advertise.
