40 Cents for Oats.

Joe Kuselick knows a good thing
when he sees it. Never before in
the history of the markets of River
Falls have the farmers been able 70
sell oats from the threshing ma
chine at 40 cents bushel.
The price is no doubt momentary
as it is beyond all reason to expect
famine prices when all farmers have
more or less to sell, we look for a
slump of at least 10 cents a bushel
within the next few days. w. H.
Putnam, the Cascade Mill owner, is
the purchaser of the Kuselick oats
and we understand he is ready for
all offerings for all kinds of grain at
top market prices.

Lost in a Marsh.

James Jackman was in from New
Centerville Tuesday and told us of
a peculiar and distressing incident
of Sunday night storm-distress
ing to the mother and the relatives
of the child that was the center of
the story Mrs. Aggie Cunningham
of Saltwater was visiting her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Herman
near the village of Centerville. She
was accompanied by her little girl,
two and a half years old. Sunday
evening the child followed her uncle
to the pasture for the COWS but
when arriving at the pasture the
uncle told the child to return to the
house. He supposed she had gone
to the house, but after finishing the
milking and returning to the house
the child was not there, nor could
she. be found about the place.
Search was made for the baby all
through the night without avail.
In the morning the neighbors were
aroused from the country and to the
number of eighty began the search
anew and in systematic fashion.
The people aligned themselves
about rod apart and marched for
ward through the thick woods, COM
ing to marshy ground mile or
more from the starting point. At
about 9 o'clock, reclining on hum
mock surrounded by water the child
was found. She was wet and chilled
but conscious. When Mr.. Jackman
left Tuesday morning it was thought
the little girl might recover from
the exposure without the ordeal of a
fit of sickness.

meetings every sunday evening
at o'clock in the parlors of the
Congregational church. Everybody
cordially invited.
Topic for August Is, Foreign Mis-
sions. Christ in Mexico and South
America-Ex. 20: 1-6.
Leader, MISS MILDRED CORNISH.
The society will give an ice cream
social in the church parlors on Fri
day evening of this week, at eight
o'clock. Come and play the good
old-fashioned games on the church
lawn, eat the good old-fashioneG ice
cream and cake in the church par
lors and add a few pennies to the
C. E. treasury.
For those of us who were born in
Christian homes, in a Christian
land, the knowledge of Christ and
His love for US comes as an inherit
ance. If we have faith in Christ
and accept Him as our personal
Saviour, we are also to accept the
word of God to obtain wisdom.
God so loved the world that He
gave His Son, missionary to save
it's people. He furnishes man with
everything he requires and COM
mands him to help carry the word
to the people who are in darkness.
We are to give our means freely,
willingly, not begrudgingly. The
happiest people are those who
do Gods bidding. The best gift
we can make to God is our own
hreat, after that give as circum-
stances permit, but give all we can
or we show ourselves unworthy.
We read that in the building of the
tabernacle all who were willing
hearted brought goods, the women |
brought jewels, fine linen and cloth
of goats b air woven by hand, the
men of their silver and gold, fine,
precious wood and skins of animals,
and then all worked together to en-
broider, to mould and to carve; 10
make a building worthy of God. We
can place ourselves at Gods serv-
ice, learning His will and be ready
to speak the word of cheer, run the
errands of mercy and love, help to
lift and carry the burden, to tell the
beautiful things which we have
seen and heard for those and to
those who God will hold US respons-
ible for. Let our daily prayer to
God be: Lord help me to be pa
-ient, gentle, kind and true and to
i've so near to Thee that my service
may be acceptable to Thee.

Preparations for the entertainment

of Montana are practically completed,
and it is evident that the old trail
blazers will be shown a good time.
One of the features of the monster
parade will be the resurrection of the
old street car, which twenty-five years
ago made the trip between the then
infant city of Billings and the town OF
Coulson, one mile east, when the lat
ter was in it's palmiest days. The an

and driven by Folice Magistrate Mann,
who ofticiated as conductor, superin-

railway line a quarter of a century

Another feature will be reproduced

CESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI

STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
of a few days since contains account
of the success that followed the Ell
forts of William Knowles, an English
man who located near Winnipeg, Man
itoba. This is but one of many let
tiers giving experiences Of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
who are looking about for a new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is a copy
of the article referred to:
William Knowles, who %cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of the
Red 2iver has probably as fine a dis
play of horticultural products as any
In Manitoba. The whole of his hold
ing is in a high state Of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more thar
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from
his patch of Az acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen a marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 600
plants, all growing under an enor
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
7 eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first in
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and n square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re.
markably healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow-
er, turnips, parsnips. carrots, pump.
kins, marrows, ~cucumbers, celery, peas,
i. lettuce, %rhubarb, etc. The floral de.
partment has not been neglected and
q charming display of all the well
known blooms We're shown, including
a specially choice lot of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most OF
his gardening experience in England,
is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising. and is gratitied
with the result of his first attempt al
extensive horticulture.

The male guests were atttired as In

and the as squaws, and the
evening was passed in imitation of the
customs of the aborigines. One fea-
ture of the occasion was an Indian war

one of the heaviest men in Montana
and who im%personated Chief Big
