Echo Enterprise: Mrs. F. w.
Sommerfield and daughter went to
Redwood Falls last Friday to attend
the Chautauqua. Mrs. Sommerfeld
and daughter Mable returned Mon
day while Miss Elsie will remain
several days longer While there
! they were the guests of Mrs. Sour
and daughter.
| A fellow at Hibbing was made to
| feel the law the other day when a
justice of thepeace him fined SIS and
costs for shooting a robin. Served
him right. Just what pleasure
man can get out of shooting song
birds is hard to see and it is crafty
| ing to know that the game
wardens are awakening to their du-
ties and endeavoring to enforce the
laws.
! Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
tells US that we should not look for
ward to reduction in the price of
meat, and gives as his reason the
| fact that the production of meat
animals is not keeping pace with the
growth of the population. The soil,
says Mr.. Wilson, is being wasted
and, in time. the effect will be that
poor families in this country will
not have meat any more than do the
poor families in Europe.
| Seaforth Item: Worse and more
of it our side kicker, w. R. Johnson
received the appointment of Deputy
State Boiler Inspector and we all
feel lonesome with "Bill'' gone
away. Mr.. johnson is capable of
the position and will without a
doubt fill it to satisfaction of every
one concerned. Miss Florence Long
bottom has been engaged as tele-
phone girl, postmistress, jeweler and
druggist to fill the place vacated
by Mr.. johnson.
Olivia Times: H. B. Bacon and
family visited relatives at Redwood
Falls and attended the Chautauqua
exercises there several days the past
week. An automobile party from
Sparta, Wis, including Mr. and Mrs.
Hal j. Davis. Maj. D. w. Cheney
and wife and Guy Poole arrived
here Friday and remained a few
day at the Bowling home They left
yesterday on trip further west, in
tending to visit at Watertown and
Yankton, S. d.
General Agent A. c. johnson has
been over the territory hailed out
last month and reports that in Min
nesota hail has reduced prospects as
compared with 1907 at the following
stations, which show: Ivanhoe
about the same as 1907; Porter about
20 per cent less; CANDY about the
same; Taunton, same; Minneota,
more; Marshall, Vesta, Evan, and
Nicollet the same; Wabasso, Spring
field, Morgan, slightly more; Sleepy
Eye and CORTLAND less. On the
whole Minnesota prospects today
are much better than the season of
1907.
Eli Southworth, secretary of the
state board of law examiners, has
filed with the supreme court against
Attorney Thomas E. Davis of Mar.
SHALL Several months ago Mrs
Gertrude Iverson made complaint
against Davis and signed an affidavit
in which she set forth that she had
lost several thousands of dollars
worth of property through the con.
nivance of Mr.. Davis and others
with her husband prior to his death
Mr.. Southworth in his report says
"Mr. Davis if innocent of conduct
for which he should be disciplined
so conducted himself as to give
grounds for suspicion.
At Buffalo Lake, Renville county
