| Comfrey Times: Fred. Prahl has
the threshers Of Southern Minnesota
distanced by several months. We'd
nesday, June 5th. he threshed the
1906 grain crop grown on the farms
of George and John Moulton. The
grain was nice and dry and sold at a
good price.
Lamberton Star: The tile factory
is turning out lots Of work. Follow

have been filling since starting up:
John Schwengler $4,000 tile. Ben
Coulter 1900, and others The
factory shipped a car of tile this
week to Enziere & LaRocque at
Tracy.
We happened to be in a certain
lumber yard the other day when a
party drove up to get some building
material, says Editor Hodges in the
Sleepy Eye Herald. In his wagon
he had roll of poultry fence that
he said cost him $6.75 in Chicago.
To his surprise he found that any
Sleepy Eye business man could have
sold the same amount of fence for
$40.
Waseca Herald: We are glad to
be able to announce that the princi-
pal highways leading into Waseca
are now being kept in good condi-
ton. The gentlemen having charge
Of them and working them with the
log drags are entitled to the thanks
Of the people who use the roads.
Why doesn't every farming COM
munity smooth it's roads and get
some enjoyment out of travelling
them?
1t don't pay to get too gay with
your automobile. The Brown coun-
ty Journal says that There is a
report being circulated in the city
that c. H. Hornburg, in the auto
mobile business in Spokane. WASH,
was recently party to damage
suit brought to recover damages for
injuries sustained by the plaintiff. :
being run down by Mr.. Hornburg in
his automobile.
The Canadian Pacific line now adj
vertises that it has the shortest line
between st. Paul and Spokane and
the Pacific coast. 1t consists Of the
$500" line to the Canadian Pacific
and thence to its connecting line
the Spokane & Internationalto
Spokane, and thence by the Harri-
man line into Portland. With Min
nesota peopling the Canadian from
tier and our shortest line to the
Pacific going part way thru the
dominion, Canada and Minnesota
will become SO mixed up that an
nexation will be superfuous. King
Edward and Uncle Sam will have to
put brand on their 'erds.
Owatonna Journal: when you
need credit do you buy in Chicago
or at home? When you buy for
cash where do you buy? Don't send
your money to Chicago, and expect
your local merchant to trust you
when you are broke" The above
has been printed on stickers which
have been placed in large quantities
in the hands of local merchants to
be used when the occasion arises.
It is said that there is not piece of
mail order house goods that is un-
loaded at the local freight depots
but which is plastered with the
stickers containing the advice so
that the purchaser can realize that
he is marked as mail order house
buyer. Many of these buyers are
said to become quite indignant
when they find their mail order
house shipments covered with the
stickers. It is evident that the shoe
