One day last week ]. w. Booth
of Wasco offered to wager 500
that Elmer Hall could haul rs
sacks of wheat from Mr.. Booths
ranch four miles east of town
to Condor with four horses with
out getting stuck, unhitching his
trail or trouble of any kind. Bud
Rinehart had a different opinion
and called the wager with the
result that the trial was held
Sunday and Mr.. Hall delivered
the grain in Condor with no
trouble at all. Forty sacks of
wheat is considered a good load
for four horses and considering
the fact that there were almost
twice as many on this load it
shows that there are some very
good horses in Gillian county.

The best laid plans OF mice and men

who lives a few miles east OF Union
City, Mich. conceived a plan a few
years ago whereby he expected to make
a fortune. He planted quite a tract OF
land OF yellow locust trees. setting
them close together In rows. the tract
containing something like $1,000 thrifty
young trees Their growth was hast
ened By frequent cultivation. good fer
tilIzing and irrigation and they attain
ed most thrifty growth until last
autumn
DR.. Sauerman's idea was TO care for
these trees for few years until they
had reached sufficient growth TO be
used for railroad ties. when they were
to be marketed and the tract OF ground
replanbed again to trees. An investi.
CATION showed that small worm WINS
havoc with the trees, boring
