20 chinese Rlekshaw.

Thee Chinese rickshaw is basketchaiI
arrangement, something like a buggy.
1t has a hood. but no front. and it
rests on two wheels. One cody hauls
between the shafts and another pushes
from behind whenever a journey up a
steep bin is contemplated You might
expect progress to be slow, with a
man doing the work instead Of horse.
But this is not the case. The Chinese
rickshaw man can trot many miles al
a good speed He is faster than the
japanese and steadier than the Gin
galese. Besides, be does not charge SO
much.--Chicago News.

Uphill Drainage Job.

Commissioner Posi- was at the
court house Monday and reported
that work was to be resumed on the
Willow Lake ditch on that day and
that the contractors expected to
get the water off Of most of the land
to be benefited before the winter
closes down. Mr.. Posi- is decidedly
skeptical about the ditch doing all
that Engineer Book claims it will
do, and says that the county COM
missioners are getting a good many
verbal bouquets in that connection
that really belong to the engineer
whom the petitioners insisted put
ing on the job. So far, the Willow
Lake job has been the most unsatis-
factory drainage project in the
county, according to common report.

WINS BANNER
FOR BUTTER
A. ]. Anderson of WaseCa County
Wins First and Winthrop
Man is Second.

Again we win. Minnesota carried
off the banner at the National but
termaker's association for the sec
ond or third time, with old Wiscon-
sin a close second. The first prize
for whole milk sweepstakes went to
A. J. Anderson Of Otisco, Waseca
county, with a score of 81, and the
second for the same was awarded to
Theodore More of our neighboring
town of Winthrop, with a score of
965. Wisconsin won both first and
second in the gathered cream con-
test, but the banner remained with
Minnesota because it showed the
ten highest scores. The old bread
and butter state sure is delivering
the goods this year, as usual, only
more of them and at higher prices.

Redwood COunty's Peanut Crop.

Mrs. Orson Wells, living on the old
Henry Charter place, south of the
city limits, brought in a novel bou-
quet last week-a sheaf of vines
with the roots covered with pea
nuts. Last spring she thought it
might be worth while to experiment
in raising peanuts. and securing
some peanuts from the south, plant
ed them much the same as beans are
put into the ground with the result
that the peanuts came up in good
