A fact worthy of note was called
to our attention last week when DR..
s. F. Greene operated on Mrs. Geo.
McClintick, on removing the appen-
dix he found 3 common pin lodged In
it, although this Is rare case it is not
altogether unknown. Mrs. McClin-
tick has suffered severely at times for
the last six months. This gives US a
warning not to be to careless about
swallowing foreign substances and
also shows what modern surgery does
for us.

Elsewhere IN this lssuewili be noted
an announcement concerning the fine
stock animal, "Merton," owned by
Scion parties and to be available to
breeders in this section for the pres

to produce the best horses in the
world and no part of the state is bet
ter situated than our own for horse
breeding purposes. This horse seems
to promise the kind of progeny that
will be of the best service for sfarm
work and general draft purposes,
the kind that meet with ready sale
in our own market.
