That Produces Abundan Seed.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Flax that will yield from twenty to
twenty five per cent more faxsee1 an
acre than the common variety has been
developed at the Minnesota experiment
station. 1t has been tried with uniform
success for two years, and it is unhes-

In 1905 seed was distributed among
forty eight farmers in various parts of
the state, and these reported an average
increase in the yield of twenty six per
cent. The experiments in 1906 showed
that it was twenty per cent better as a
yieIder than the common flax. There are
now several thousands of bushels of the
new flax available for seed.

for loving kindness and forbearance one
with another and toward those no less
necessary virtues that make for manli

these qualities never nation nor individ

Now therefore, |, Theodore Roosevelt

apart Thursday, the twentyeighth day

thanksgiving and prayer, and on that
recommend that the people shall cease

in the past, and to pray that they may
be given the strength so to order their

in November, the twentyeighth.
| The Thanksgiving proclamation follows:
Once again the season of the year has
come when in accordance with the Gus
tom of our forefathers for generations
past, the president appoints the day as
the special occasion for all our people to
give praise and thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have been
| free from famine, from pestilence, from
war,w are at peace with all the rest of
mankind Our natural resources are at
least as great as those of any other nation
We believe that in ability to develope
and take advantage of these resources,
the average man of this nation stands at
least as high as the average man of any
other. Nowhere else in the world is
there such an opportunity for free
people to develope to the fullest extent
all its powers of body, of mind, and of
that which stands above both body and
mind-character.
Much has peen given us from on
high and much will rightly be expected

Hallowe en- has come and gone and
by the looks, it was genuine oldfash
ioned Halloween. The first thing on the
program was the ringing of the fire
alarm, and a general bedlam was turned
loose. Clothes lines were taken down
and strung along on the fences. Hay
wagons were turned over and one man
had buggyshed built over his rubber
tired rig. A wagon with the wheels off
was found in front of c.. T.. Mosman's,
and also one in front of the Walden
nlerctile building. A, H. Law has a
new office on Main St, sharing it with
delicatessen parlor. The hay baler
belonging to W. O. Mosman is for sale as
an automobile. There was liberal sup.
ply of tick tacks around town and in
somnia was epidemic. The candy store
had about fifteen beer barrels in front
of it and a person wouldn't know where
to go for his morning morning until
things got Strengthened out.

Eastern Capitalists Will Push

said to a Boomerang man: 1--WE will at

have large quantities of coal on the
market by next July. Our plan is TO
place an immense steam shovel in opera
