office, and see the vast sums of mon
ey, in cash, sent to the catalogue
houses annually, while their store
bills wait, and the merchant grOans
with anxiety. The farmer cannot do
without the country merchant; he is
the outgrowth of their necessities;
he must be near his base of supplies;
hence the country merchant is here
to stay, in some form or other. What
shall it be? Shall he simply supply
the farmer with staple articles in
which there is little profit, and the
farmers send to the catalogue houses
for these commodities upon which
fair profit is made? The crippling
OF the country merchant means that

ty, will be held in Sauk Centre on

5000. These purses ought to and will
bring good horses and good racing is
assured.
These county fairs are held for the
purpose of bringing the farmers and
business men together and promoting
farming interests, and when this is
done all are benefited. 1t is the in
tention of the officers of the Agricul-
tural Society of Stearns county to
make this fair better and bigger than
ever and every one is asked to help
them to this end. The president and
secretary can't do it all, and they
want every one interested to help. 1t
is your fair. Advertise and push it
and it will be big success.
President Minette asks us to an
nounce that all who had charge of
the different farm product depart
ments last year are assigned to the
same positions this year.
The following are the dates of the
fairs in this section of the country:

Big Time In Camp

The Boys Baraca class of the Meth
odist Episcopal Sunday School re-
turned from their weeks outing in
the Wilson launch on Saturday.
The camp was on the Hooper farm
near the cottages and fine spring of
clear flowing water, within a few
yards of Sauk Lake. 1t was an ideal
camping ground, and boating and
fishing were assesible. George Plat
ten was cook, and Iceland Galbraith,
Asa Wilson, and Pastor Smith, as
sistants. The dishes served were rich
and varied, such as scrambled eggs,
baked and boiled beans, fried fish,
baked and boiled peas and potatoes.
Bacon and other meats were in evil
dence and corn and breakfast foods.
There we're several dishes served, but
they are patented, and cannot be
mentioned. Fine ripe watermelons
were served at intervals by the preach
er, who cut the melons into fairly
equal pieces.
Marion Lyman and Howard John
son took the prizes for swimming and
Charles Lamb and H. Benson were a
close second. G. Cass and A. Enfield
were the best on bicycles, and Earl
Peart and Dewey O'Gara won the
the prize for good conduct. The
Baraca team played the Hooper team
assisted by the prominent players at
the cottages including Palmer, Fish
and Snowdon, and defeated them in
an exciting game on the Park grounds.
Rev. Brabner Smith caught the
biggest fish, Howard Johnson and A.
Benson and G. Platten the next big
gest and Asa Wilson and G. Lamb
told the biggest fish stories. All the
tricks of camp life were played.
Several visitors came to the camp and
the whole week was greatly enjoyed by
all. The Dean and Austin tent was
used for sleeping purposes and the
Osborn tent for cooking and Pastor
Smiths for headquarters. The boys
had big time and came back feeling
good and ''dandy."

COUNTRY MERCHANT
Usually Misunderstood and Under

Speaking upon the subject, THE
Country Merchant and the Banker
ar a bankers convention, Public Ex-
aminer Schaefer said: 81 desire to
say at the outset, that the country
merchant is the most misunderstood
underestimated Industrial force in the
commercial world today. He is, in
a sense, the catspaw used by the
jobbers and manufacturers to pull
their chestnuts out of the fire. He is
honest and financially responsible
and is, therefore, used as shield, SO
to speak, between the wholesaler and
financial loss He receives goods IN
bulk and deals them out in driblets,
sometimes for cash, more often on
time. which means months, seasons,
and sometimes eternity, and knowing
as he wraps them up and passes
them over the counter, that he will
never receive his pay therefor lie is
the benefactor of the consumer and
especial guardian angel of the farmer
who has no income until his crops
are marketed, and stands between
him and want and hunger, borrow

DEED OF A NEGRO
KEATS JERSEY WHITE WOMAN IN
TO INsENSIBILITY.
Then He RObs Home and Imposes on
Husband Until He Escapes.
Captured and Carried
To Jail.

Mount Holly, N. J.. Sept. 14-At-
tackled in the yard at her farm near
Marion and beaten into insensibility,
carried to the house, gagged. bound
hand and foot and then placed between
two beds on the second floor, where she
would be helpless until found, Mrs.
William H. Mortland, 80 years old, was
thus brutally treated yesterday as a
part of a plan of Samuel Layfield, a
negro, an employe of the farm. to rob
the house during the absence of the
woman's husband on a trip to Moores-
town, near here.
The negro found a gold watch and
chain and $50 in money, and with
these he left in the direction of
Moorestown. On the road he met
Mortland returning home. and. to keep
him away from the house. he told him
that a man had called at the house to
buy the team of mules that the farmer
had to sell. but had tired of waiting
and had gone to Moorestown to meet
Mortland.
The farmer turned about and took
Layfleld into Moorestown with him. SO
the prospective purchase would not be
missed. The two waited for nearly
two hours without success and then
Mortland decided to return home. The
negro boarded a westbound trolley car.
During all this time Mrs. Mortland
lay helpless between the two beds and
almost unable to breathe. She suffers
much from nervous shock.
