move because they have to, while many
more move for the sake of change.
Beginning on the west, j. NJ. Heisel'
who has been helping Louis kemmerer
get rich on his big stock farm near
farm one and one-half miles west of
town. He paid only $4,000 for the
eighty, and he will supply pure. fresh
milk to the hungry people. DR.. Jim.
having secured a diploma from one of
the Des Moines schools, will devote his
attention to reducing fractures and
dislocations by osteopathic methods.
Further west, c. c. Rice takes charge
of the old Marvin farm. Frank has
sold it to z. j. Hadley, and Rice is to
run it. Rice leaves his Westfield farm,
which is now the property of d. w.
Norris, and after year or two he ex-
poets to go to Arkansas unless the re-
turns from the rice lands are sufficient
to enable him to retire.
Going on west, we find Johnny Nc
Donald located on the Jim Frost land
as sole proprietor; Sam George on the
Widow Young's place, and LATE Ell
more getting ready to migrate to the
Tom Smith farm in Section 3, Rock
Creek. LATE is a fine young fellow and
a good farmer. He has sold his farm.
the Billy Keenan, place, to a Mr.. Jack
son, and bought the Smith place at
$50. Smith has bought the Tom Foster
place in Chester All $50. Mr.. Foster
quits. No man will be more missed in
Chester than Tom Foster. He came
from Scott county years ago, reared a
large family of boys and girls, who
made husbands and wives for good
women and men in Chester, and now,
having lost his wife, he retires, a lone
some old man.
Joe Millsap, on the A. A. White farm
in Hickory Grove township, goes. to
one of the w. B. Dunn farms, and
Harry Gillespie takes the other one.
I don't know where Will Chichester
goes. He has been on the Isaiah Clay
farm near Newburg, but it has be-
come the property of William John
Paul, and William John doesn't need
any assistance.
Tom Phipps, who has long been
known as the handsomest man in Rock
Creek township. has sold his eighty to
Eli Ogg, of Newton. Just what Eli in
tends to do with it no one knows, but
it is believed he intends to movd to
the farm and teach the neighbors SCI
entific farming. It is a hobby of Ellis
that thornless blackberry can be
produced by crossing 1t with an Eng
lish walnut. Mrs. Phipps says she is
glad to get away, because she will now
be able to see someone besides her
husband at least once month.
Swinging around the circle, we find
Charley Devoe leaving the Reinfort
place and moving to the III. HI. Morris
farm. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris have
earned their rest, and are taking it in
washington and Oregon. Ed. Lynch
still raises hogs and cattle on the
Harry McMurray farm r. Conger
holds the fort on George McMurray's
400 acres. Will Sickle remains on the
farm. Jake Wickham takes
the place, and Girls Knudson and the
fellow they call Snag, having made
enough money, will go to Minnesota
to spend it, while Hogloch, from Illi-
nois, tries the Donahue farm.
George Hafky leaves the Greer farm.
S. p. Peterson goes from Carey Bruce's
farm south of Grinnell to George
Thompson's farm north of Grinnell,
and wherever Pete goes good farming
follows. Billy Hafky, the Cummins
manager in Chester township, takes
charge of the Harry Bodine farm east
Of Grinnell, that now belongs to Char
ley Cessna. Charley keeps possession
Of the spaulding farm, because 24o
acres would not give him room to turn
around.
Charley Cooking goes back to his
farm in Chester after an absence of
several years, and Burt Kirkpatrick
takes charge of the Rice farm, that
now belongs to d. w. Norris.
Chris Schultz was offered $3.50 an
acre for his farm and he was foolish
enough to take it, and now he is hunt
ing job. Poor man!
Ralph Lamb, OF Malcolm, takes
charge Of that part of the Goodfellow
farm that he bought. ]. R. Nichols
goes from the Pepoon farm to one
near Laurel, and Tom McIlrath takes
his place.
S. A. Robson, Of Gilman, has bought
the Harry James farm and has al
ready taken possession, while walter
Deming has sold his eighty south OF
town, and has purchased the August
Lidka 100, northeast of town.
"Billy" Hink has sold his interest in
the old Carsten Hink farm to his
brother Henry, and Henry is getting
ready to lay aside farm cares by sell.
ing off all his stock on March 5th, ex-
cept what he can take care of without
hired help. He says the help ques-
ton is too much for him. He says
he can stand flood and drouth, hail
storms and early frost. but not the
hired man.
Clarence Evans has rented his land
He says he makes too much money
farming and has got to quit. or go tc
building libraries, and Harry Bodine
has taken huge wad to Marshalltown
the result of three or four years saw
ings.
John Evans, Jr., is willing to give UP
a lot of hard work, and has quit his
farm and bought thirty acres adjoin-
ing town. Roseland. "the jolly Nor
wegian," who has been on the Blake
ly farm, goes back to Montour, and
Frank Judkins moves in. Frank wont
work on Saturday and Blakely won't
work on Sunday. so they both an
ticipate pretty easy time.
