BJORK FOR MAYOR
MEETS WITH APPROVAL
PEOPLE FEEL THAT he WILL GIVE a
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
WARD CANDIDATES ARE SHY
Very Little Talk Of Candidates For
Aldermen and Supervisors is Heard
so Far.

The suggestion Of Arvid Bjork for
mayor seems to take well in the city,
Those who have expressed themelves
say that he would be an excellent man
for the place that he would give the
city business administration and his
selection would tend 10 cancel the log

dence for some time and bring the
people together
What Crystal Falls wants is to get les
people pulling together again No
of OK work II community the size
OF this one IL 10 grow and prosper,
Mr.. Bjork has identified himself
with neither side In the disputes over
municipal matters and can take the
Office unhampered and with clean
hands. The people feel that and will
support him enthus astically il they
can be assured that he will make the
run.
There has been no further talk about
the other city officers since we last
mentioned city politics in these col
umns. VIM. Gribble will have no op.
position for clerk and Robert Munns
has clear field, so far for, treasurer.
What the future may bring 10 light
cannot be even guessed at from 30 dis
tant date but the coast IS clear so
far
The suspense over the general city
officers has caused people TO forget the
ward officers but now that IL is assured
that Mr. Bjork will be a candidate for
mayor, the people will undoubtedly
turn their attention to the wards
The first ward will see change in

There are two forms of bodily

about their body-the cleanliness OF the
bowels. Keep them clean and free from
distractions. To do this you must have

CYCLONE PICKED UP CATTLE.
Bull Weighing 1,7oo Pounds Sailed
Throuuh the Air a Mile.

Among the things accomplished by
the seven cyclones that performed
during one afternoon in Norton coun-
ty says the Jewell CKan) Republican.
was the taking up into it's whirl of a
1,700-pound white face bull and slam
ming it down again one mile from the
starting point. The bull was valued at
500
Another feat which it performed
was to tear up the original prairie sod
to the depth of eight inches. One man
500 yards from the storm saw what
he took to be chickens being whirled
high in the air and then hurled to the
ground. On going to the path Of the
cyclone he found the objects were not
chickens. but thirty Hereford cattle.
All were dead but four, and these had
to be killed.
horse was given a mud bath while
in the sky that covered him like the
armor plate of a battle ship. When
uncased from its mud armor the horse
was alive and will recover. In addi-
tion to the seven cyclones. there was
a huge waterspout that let itself down
out of the clouds and lashed its tail
around like a great serpent. The most
surprising thing OF all is that while
many houses were destroyed not one
human life was lost.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Behold the leaves on hill and dale.
Brave veterans Of Septembers gale:
October's victims scared and brown.
Whirling and circling seek the ground.
A bruised apple is a spoiled apple.
Fruit that goes 20 waste is money
dropped through n knothole.
Look all the ladders over before you
pick fruit. Rounds can be mended
easier than limbs.
'Tis too late to set strawberry plants
in the North, but currants, gooseber-
ries and blackberries may be planted
now If YOU mulch them well.
If the strawberry bed isn't "clean as
a whistle" when It goes into winter
quarters this fall, YOU won't whistle
very loudly over your berries next
June.
Fruit stones for sowing should be
washed clean and placed i'm boxes of
damp sand until wanted. 1t Is very
essential to keep the stones moist from
gathering to sowing time. Planting
may be done in late fan and early
spring.
Currants and gooseberries may be
pruned as soon as the leaves fall. or
the work can be left until the early
spring. Cut back one-third Of this
years growth. and thin out surplus,
diseased or unthrifty shoots. old
bushes may have two-thirds Of the
present years growth removed. DO not
prune the new canes of raspberries and
blaclSberries until spring; the old canes
should have been cut out long ago
II is TO early TO prune grapevines.

The Mine and the Mill.


The directors Of a mining company
with headquarters in New York, upon
whose property a ''shoot" of milling
ore was discovered. decided to build a
large and expensive mill against the
protest of the superintendent. When
the mill was completed the ore shoot
had come 70 an end. A new superin-
tendent was employed. and explora-
tion work soon disclosed another body
of mineral. Anxious to make a record
and also to revive the early enthusi-
asm Of the directors, the new superin-
tendent selected soap box full Of the
choicest samples and sent them by ex-
press to the hoard
The day after their arrival in New
York he received the following teH-
gram: "Start the mill at once"
The second ore body proved 10 be
but a small pocket" and that very
morning Il had completely played out.
Explanations by telegraph were out
Of the question The new superintend.
ent was in a quandary. He was noted,
however, for readiness in an emergen
cy. His native talent did not desert
him. He suddenly got bright idea
and. hurrying down 10 the telegraph
Office dispatched this reply:
''Send back the mine, and I will start

Grow Rapidly Until Six Months Ole
When Feathers Are Plueked

Grow Rapidly Until Six Months Old,
When Feathers Are Plueked.
There are many little ostriches
hatched this time OF the year near
Phoenix. Ariz. The old birds sit on
eight to ten eggs. which are very large,
weighing from three to four pounds
each. It takes about six weeks for
the eggs to hatch.
Sometimes when it rains the eggs are
taken from the nest and put in large
incubators, as the ostrich will not sit
on wet nest. The ostriches are
very different from chickens. The
mother bird, being gray. cannot be
seen in the daytime. and the father
being black, cannot be seen very well
at night. so the mother sits on tho
nest during the day. and the father al
night. which helps to hide tho nest.
The little ostriches are about the
size OF a bantam hen when Matched
says st. Nicholas. and are very deli
cate. II they get wet they die. When
first Matched they arc not fed very
much for a week. Later they get al
the alfalfa grass and broken bones
they want.
They grow very fast and when six
months old they are six feet high, ans
their pretty feathers are then cut from
their wings. They are full growr
when one year old, but do not lay
/ eggs until three or four years old
