Isn't it a Fake?

~ TIE Citizen has thrown out the AID
for the Tracy Realty Co. 1t does not
like . the method Of its business.
The manager in Sioux City gives no
address where he might be found,
but sends out agents to represent
him in the different districts. These
agents go to the farmers aud get an
exclusive contract 10 sell theft land ,
requesting the farmer to pay Us
cash or give his note for the SAME
amount, which money the agent rep
resents will be used to advertise tue
farm. Several of the farmers in Mob
les and Murray county made the
contract, and a few in Cottonwood
county. The exclusive is limited to
certain period. When notes are
given they are taken to the local
banks to be discounted. The Win
dom banks, however, would not do
this. A smooth man could do good
business listing farms ia SIS per list,
and no guarantee whatever that the
farmer will get his moneys worth in
advertising, as the Citizen has done,
after finding out the method of bust
ness, and then if any advertising is
done it may be in some other district
-perhaps.-Windom Citizen.
The Advance exposed the opera
tions of some such concern when it
first invaded Mobiles County.

The Feats That a Tarpon Will Per-
form When Hooked.
If you have never seen a tarpon i'm
agine the Mediterranean sardine that
yoD take from the box for lunch
heightened out to six or seven feet.
Give it two enormous staring black
eyes, a supercilious lip Of the most
grotesque shape coming down and
twisting up again. mouth that can
feet distant when the fish is in the air
you can see blue sky down its throat
and out through the arched gills. Give
the fish greenish back and long
spine at the dorsal, a powerful sardine-
like tail and equip its belly and sides
with scales which look more like new
~ minted trade dollars than anything
else, dollars often twice their natural
size, into which the purest molten sill
yer has been dropped, scales that flash
thousands Of rays in every direction,
scales that CLEAN, cOrruScate and III
the full glare Of the sun form so many
sunbursts to dazzle the eye and con-
fuse the excited angler.
I have taken the 'sabalo" under va
rtous circumstances and have seen it
leap along the outer Florida reef and
down by the Rio Grande, where it
forms In gigantic schools and moves
south In winter, and everywhere it Is
the same sensational equil1brist, the
same air climber and sky scraper when
hooked or shared. What the sensations
of the tarpon are when hooked it
would be difficult to say, but fancy
1t Is frightened and leaps in the direc-
ton away from the pain center, and
no two leaps are alike.
It may go directly up into the air,
carrying a big wave with it, and lash
the Dir. or it may go out OF the water
head first, rising like ray Of light ten
or fifteen or more feet, then fall
gracefully. Every possible position I
have seen the frightened tarpon take,
from standing ON its tail as upright as
soldier to exactly the opposite direc-
ton, and an. old angler informed me
that he had seen tarpon make
lateral leap of thirty feet.-Charles E.
Holden in Recreation.

We are having beautiful weather
and the roads are getting smooth, in
fine condition for hauling and for
travel. This pleases every one, but
more especially the mail carriers.
They have to go every day the whole
winter through, and the condition Of
the roads means great deal to them.
The general health here is good.
Occasionally we hear Of some one who
is little ''under the weather." as we
say, but we have no serious cases of
sickness.
1t. Eide sold bunch of hogs the
other day and he has still hundred
or more left. j. E. Shore also sold
several loads. The great drop in the
price of hogs came quite unexpected
and people are at loss to account for
it.
Mrs. Will Scott, who went to Iowa
to visit her aged mother, was very
much pleased to find her quite we'll.
The old lady was up here some years
ago and says she may come again,
but if she does she will need COM
panion as she is too old to travel alone
She is now eighty-two years old.
Thanksgiving is here once again,
and ewspapers are filed with Thanks
giving stories and with other articles
appropriate to the time. This season
of the year seems fitting time to re-
turn thanks. The years crops are
safely garnered, and we are reason
ably we'll assured of an album
dance of life's comforts until
the time to reap another harvest.
The older settlers in Mobiles county
have seen the day when it was not so.
Since that time life has had its dark
sides as we'll as its bright ones; but
with most of us, perhaps with all Of
us, the pleasant days have greatly
outnumbered the dreary ones, and
each one, in looking back over his life
cannot fail to see much to be thank
full for.
Our townsman, Ormando Scott, re-
ceived a letter the other day from his
father, John Scott, saying that they
arrived safely in California. The
letter stated they were all we'll, and
that their trip so far had been worry
pleasant one. They called on the
boys, John and Martin, at their claim
in Montana, and Mr.. Scott was favor
ably impressed with the country, and
thinks the boys are we'll located.
jeff, who is in one of the new towns
in the northern part of Mort b Dakota
met them at Fargo, and accompanied
them as far as Devils Lake. Mr..
SCOTS people seem 70 be having
very pleasant time, and their friends
here will be pleased to know it.
