Alden, Oct. 22-Nearly all the corn
that was cut for fodder in this ana
adjoining counties this fall was harv-
ested after the crop had been struck
by frost Corn cutting was continued
in low places up to a few days ago.
Last week several men in this vicinity
had not yet finished putting up their
hay. One of these remarked that hay

I'll cornhusking time. Partly because
of peculiarities of the past season ana
also because of disappointments sus-
tanned by those who depended on out

a man who was digging potatoes the

continued, because the seed naturally

I did my other crops, and he raised
potatoes when there was nothing else
to do"
aThe Importance Of some Of the "side
lines" of farming is being each year
more noticeable, and this year when
corn and oats are only half a crop in
so many places. examples are frequent.
One farmer in this locality raised 1000
bushels of potatoes from seven acres.
He sold half of them for $500. and is
already offered an advance of 10c per
bushel for the others. The wife of an
other farmer stated that since early
spring until August the income from
a flock of chickens kept on the place
was SO per week, and dairy records
OF others afford proof of the truthful-
ness of the old saying regarding the
practicability of putting all the eggs
in one basket.
One morning a few weeks ago one
of the many well-to-do farmers living
on Hamilton county mail route drove
up in front of his house with a wagon
and hayrack and began to load up his
household effects. He was leaving the

NO FOOT BALL THERE.
Fort Dodge Students Fail to Secure
Parental Consent.

Parental Consent.
Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Oct. 22.-There Will be
no high school foot ball team in Fort
Dodge, and there is weeping and WALL
ing and gnashing of teeth among the
foot ball fans of this city. The cause!
The high school eleven cannot be put
into the field. No permits can be OBJ
tanned from parents to allow their sons
to play at least none of the stars can
get them. Therefore the school will
probably be without an eleven.
Principol Seth Thomas feels that he
does not wish to shoulder the respon-
sibility in case of accident when any
student is playing the game. and,
therefore, has made a rule that no man
shall play unless his parents permit
him. Many parents are not opposed
to the game, but will not write a per-
nit as they also do not want to Shout
der the responsibility.
