But slight damage was done by the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


1t is said that corporations have no
souls, but it is certain that they ap-
preciate the hard business fact that
the man who takes care of their prop
erty is one whom they cannot afford
to lose. A little incident which con-
firms this view occurred a short time
ago in Portland, Maine.
In the suburbs of the city is a new
street which has not been paved. Dur
ing the spring it becomes very muddy,
and the wheels of passing teams sink
nearly to the hub at places. Into one
Of these boys a loaded team lunged one
day, and q woman in one of the neigh
boring houses was forced to witness a
brutal sight as the driver beat and
kicked his horse into attempting to
pull the great load out.
Finally she reported the matter to
the police by means of her telephone,
and an officer promptly came to the
rescue of the animal.
The next day a large express team
belonging to one of the city corpora
ing that there would be a repetition Of
the former proceeding, the woman took
her station to watch and jump for her
telephone if necessary.
The driver, however, got down from
his seat, patted his horse on the nose,
Strengthened her harness, fed her sugar
from his pocket, laid his head against
her neck, and talked to her. Then he
took hold of the bride and gave her
a gentle word of command She pulled
with a will, evidently trying TO do all
she could for her kind friend. Again
he rested, petted and fed her, and
again she pulled, this time with his
shoulder against the wheel. 1t took
several attempts before the wheel fl
nally came out, but it was accomplish
ed without a touch Of the whip or a
loud tone.
The woman was interested and
touched, and believing that the COM
pany whose name was on the wagon
would be pleased to hear of the Incl
dent, took up her telephone, called up
the office. and complimented them I'D
on having such a man in their employ.
The next morning the same driver
called at her door and thanked her for
her kindness.
'Tt was especially providential,
madam" he said, las the company
had determined to shorten help, and
had told me that / would be through
last night. 1 have family, and work
is hard to get just now, so I did not

laid his hand on my shoulder when I
went into the office to turn in my col
lections. Tom he said, 4 hear you

Il said that I had had a little
trouble out here.

Of that, and we want to say that a man

FACTS FOR FARMERS

In Norman county, Mimi, wheat has
| been threshing out 20 bushels to the acre.
Barley and flax are exceptionally good.
The State land department of South
Dakota has made the first Offering of
State lands in the old Fort Sully mill
tary reservation, which was practically
all taken by the State at the time it was
thrown open to settlement.
While the South Dakota State veteri-
marian and the government authorities
are watching the anthrax situation in the
counties of the southeastern part of the
State, the Governors Office is yet receiv-
ing complaints in regard to the situation,
and demanding something more in the
way of stamping the disease out. All
such complaints are turned over to the
officials who have the situation in charge
for investigation. From reports the indi-
cations are that the situation in that part
of the State is of a serious nature, and
will require careful handling to get the
| disease stamped out.
The Red river valley is being invaded
by representatives Of seed houses in the
Southwest who are after the potatoes
grown in this section to use for seed po-
tatoes through Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa and Texas.
Following out his declaration of i'm
munity to any one defending lives or
property against night riders, Gov. Will
son of Kentucky granted pardons to Wal
ter Duncan, who was convicted of shoot
ing and'kilIing Newt Hazlett at Jackson
vile, Shelby county, in June, and Riley
Harold who was indicted as an acces-
sorry to the murder.
Night riders are organizing in North
eastern Arkansas, for the purpose of re-
ducing the cotton acreage for next year,
and compelling the holding Of this years
crop for the minimum price set by the
International Farmers Union convention
| which met at Fort Worth recently.
The eighty grain elevators and ware
houses owned by the MINNEAPOLIS and
| Northern Elevator Company, one of the
concerns controlled by the Pillsbury-
Washburn Flour Milling Company. which
passed recently into the hands of receiv-
ers, will be leased, for the next eleven
months to Charles A. Amsden of Mime
apois, the highest bidder.
Renewed activity is being shown by the
Northern Pacific in locating and securing
for itself land to which it is entitled, ac-
cording to tie grants made by the gov
eminent at the time the charter was is
sued and at later dates. Employees OF
the road are visiting the various govern
ment land offices and looking up vacant
land lying in the vicinity of their line,
with a view to securing it for their road.
Officials claim that at best the roads
grant will be 100000 acres short.
The National Farmers Union, at its
convention held at Fort Worth, Texas. re-
elected tie officers who served during the
PAST year.
