his name as Erbes, and claiming to
represent the Allouck piano house at
Hartline. hunted up Ochs, a retired
German farmer, unable to read English,
and asked him to manage a branch
house here. Ochs consented and signed
papers purporting to be contracts, but
which proved to be simple notes. A
query from Hartline bank regarding
the notes aroused suspicion and Ochs
sent c. H. EIDE, cashier of the Winona
bank to investigate. The alleged piano
house was found to be an implement

Yield Fail to Break Price.

COLFAX, July 6.-Charles A. Frazier

Elevator company. estimates that

100000 bushels of grain, and that
there are in crop in the county, 2,S00,00C
acres, the greatest acreage in the his
tory of the county. of fall-sown wheat
and oats particularly
"My estimate" said Mr.. Frazier, SIS
10000, 900 bushels of wheat, 20 per cent
of which is spring sown; 100000
bushels of oats, the largest crop ever
raised in the county, and 100000 BUSH
els of barley, principally feed. These
figures I considered conservative, and
If present prospects are fulfilled, it
would not surprise me if the total yield
was considerably in excess of this.
Harvest in this vicinity will COM

western portion of the county in about
a week. Phil Cox, of Hay, having al
ready headed fifty acres of fall-sown

bushels per acre.

bushel for club, and IS and 80 cents

FENCE POSTS AND
DECAY PREVENTION

along the banks of his streams. These
are trees which heretofore have been
thought of little or no use for posts,
because of the rapidity with which
natural condition, they will rot in two
or three years-too soon to pay for
the labor of setting them. The for
est service in it's study of prolonging
the life of fence posts has found cheap
and simple methods of preserving them
in sound condition for an indefinite
time, even though they are the poor
est and naturally least durable woods.
Decay is not simple process like
the crumbling of stone or the rusting
of iron. 1t is caused by low forms of
plant life which thoroughly permeate
the wood, discolor it and cause It TO
become disconnected and rotten To
preserve the timber in thoroughly
sound condition, il. is only necessary
to render the wood unfit for the growth
Of these organisms This is done by
injecting into it substance. poisonous

One of the most idely used preseTv-
atives is creosote. one OF the by-pro-
ducts of coal tar. When it is inJecte"

indefinitely and an old-feld pine or

Open Harvard House.


Historic Harvard House at STRAIT

the property of Harvard University
through its purchase by Edward Nor

Chicago, was opened to visitors this
week. Many Americans inspected the
house Sunday and yesterday, and an

Harvard House once belonged to
the mother of John Harvard, the Eng

boy and by his will provided for the
founding of the great university, the
Oxford of the New World.

was largely responsible for the ac-

chance of doing anything for 1t occur
red until the owner died suddenly. It
was put up at auction, but was whit
drawn at $4,000. Miss Corelli then
set about trying to find a private pun
chaser. She was on board Sir Thorn
as Lipton's yacht last summer when
she met Edward Morris. to whom she
submitted the idea. Mr. Morris and
his wife entered into the scheme
with eagerness. and generously pro-
vided Miss Corelli with the money
necessary not only to buy the house

repair and to restore it to it's original
appearance as far as possible. This
has now been done. and there is con-
