Rev. Heard Hooks a whopper.

Rev. J. W. Heard and Mrs. Guy
Ewing were out on Elk lake fishing
last week when the first named hooked
an 11-pound pickerel. AS the rever-
end gentleman hardly ever catches a
fish which weighs over fourth of a
pound he was greatly excited and,
had not Mrs. Ewing taken hold of his
coat tails he would doubtless have
jumped overheard to grab the monster
as it dangled from the line. With a
great deal of difficulty the fish was
eventually landed and Mr.. Heard, as
soon as he reached shore, phoned to
Nelson at Anoka to come post haste
and take photograph of the pickerel.
At least this is what Guy Ewing tells

Horse Breaks Leg.

Yesterday morning shortly before 8
O'Clock. while team of horses be-
longing to Frank Smith was hauling
wagonload of trunks from the depot,
the king pin slipped out and the
horses dashed up the street at a furi.
GUS speed, leaving the wagon near
Mrs. C. 81. Rines' residence. When
the team reached the Security State
bank corner one animal ran on each
side of telephone pole, tearing the
harness into shreds and breaking a
leg OF the bay mare which Mr.. Smith
valued at $3.50. The fracture was
caused by the mare striking it's foot
against the curb. It was taken to the
Riverside yards and shot. -

AnnOn Must Go.

Sheriff John Palmer of Anoka will
soon assume the duties of postmaster
Of that city, President Taft having
given him a recess appointment. Mr..
W. j. Annon, the old postmaster
whom Mr.. Bede had recommended for
reappointment, and who really was
appointed by President Roosevelt but
the senate failed to confirm, will prob
ably leave Anoka. Mr.. Annon was
an efficient official and was popular
with the patrons of the Office, but he
made the mistake of backing the
wrong, or rather the losing candidate
at the primary election last fall.

GOOD OBJECT LESSON
State Highway Commission Demon.
strates What Can be Done in
Improving Sandy Roads.
Worst Piece of Road In Minnesota Sc.
lected to Experiment With
The Cost is Trifling,

At the instance OF Mr.. M. S. Ruther-
ford on Friday last seven automo-
biles were strung along the mile of
state experiment road in Baldwin
township and several photographs
were taken to be forwarded to the
state highway commission. The
object was to show the present con-
dition of that piece of road. Former
~, before improvements we're made
under direction of the highway COM
mission, the loose sand was from
three to six inches deep and that
stretch of road was dreaded and
avoided by Automobiles. At present
automobiles can speed over it at the
rate OF 40 miles an hour. The high
way commission has demonstrated
that at a small expense the worst
sandy road can be put in good con-
dition. The method employed in
Transforming this Sahara of sand
into good highway was very simple:
The road was plowed it's entire width
and graded up in the center; IL feet in
the center was strawed and the road
on each side of the strawed part was
seeded to rye and clover: when the rye
matured it was cut and raked onto the
center OF the road; later on in the fall
the roadway was given another coat
ing of straw; in the spring more straw
was. applied; then the clover, grass
and.weeds on the seeded parts were
cut and raked onto the center of the
road. Result: A good hard road
way all the time. Besides the road
presents neat and inviting appear
ance. To be sure a little work and
attention will have to be bestowed
on this piece of road to keep it in
proper condition but the expense en-
tailed is small, and in the course of a
few years one coating annually of the
grass and weeds, cut from each side
OF the travelled part of the road, will
be all that is necessary.
What has been accomplished on this
mile OF sandy road can be accom-
plished anywhere else in Minnesota.
Here was piece of road where the
loose sand was from three to six
inches deep, and where the sand had
formed in drifts along the fences and
was constantly blowing onto the
travelled roadway. Now the unsightly
sand drifts are mantled in green and
the roadway is Joy to teamsters and
automobiles. The object lesson
given by the state highway COM
mission on this mile of road should
be worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of Mile Laos and Sherburne
counties.

A Pathetic Case,

On Friday evening the dead body of
a young girl, aged about 20 years,
named Frances Florek, whose parents
reside in Morrill, town, Morrison
county, was found dead in a hay
stack on the Warner farm north of
Foley. The girl had been dead three
days when found. Beside the body
was found an infant girl wrapped in
an apron and alive.
The. body of the, girl was discovered
by John Corrier, farmer renting the
Warner place. On Friday evening
as he was passing the stack, he saw
hand sticking up and believing it to
be that of a dead man reported the
matter at about O'Clock to DR.. Free
man and Attorney 81. F. McGovern,
who were passing by in an automo-
bile. An examination revealed the
dead form of the young girl and the
tiny baby.
1t is said that the girl, realizing her
condition, started for the home of a
friend, but when she got as far as the
stack strength failed her and she laid
down there. Here the child was born
and the mother died after taking every
precaution to insure the life of the
child. For three days the infant went
without food and it was it's wailing
sound that attracted the attention of
Mr.. Corrier. He at first thought it to
be rats but upon uncovering the hay
found it to be a healthy and lively
girl baby. Miss Florek had worked
in different families in the village for
over year and had always borne
good reputation.-Journal. Press.

A Whole Lot of Dams.

We wouldn't care dam about the
state fair grandstand if they would
give US our Big Stone Lake dam. It
seems funny that the dam law is bad
and grandstand law is good when we
all know that grandstand is dam
bad thing while a dam good dam is
good thing. We have a site for
dam but no dam by dam sight.
Such is legislation and court de-
cisions and lawyers dictums as be-

PEASE TO TIE FRONT
Cooperative Creamery at That Place
is F!ourishing and the Farm
ers Are Well Pleased.
Output for nonth of July Was 49,
554 Pounds and the Butterfat
Averaged ~ Cents.

The Unions correspondent at
Pease writes Of the cooperative
creamery at that place as follows:
The creamery at Pease, organized
with So stockholders, and which made
its first run on June 20, is proving a
successful venture.
On Saturday, August IA, the institu-
tion made its first full months pay
ment, and at that time S2,966.76 was
paid to the stockholders. In addition
S4S9.10 was paid to outsiders. An
average of q cents per pound was
paid for butterfat during the month
and the output of butter for the month
of July was PAS tubs, or Is, 554
pounds. The checks paid to
patrons for the month averaged $50
each, but E. Ruis, Harry Van de Reit,
VIM. Jones and Lester Kempton re-
ceived over 500 apiece.
G. b. Strating is secretary and
manager Of the creamery and Frank
Bartlett assistant secretary and butter
maker. Mr.. Bartlett, who formerly
worked at Wadena, is one of the best
buttermakers in the northwest.
The farmers of Pease are enthusi-
astic over their infant industry-th they
are pulling together and are deter.
mined to double the output of butter
within year or so. Pease made nc
mistake when it organized a co-opera.
