POTATOES STOP COURT

STEVENS POINT, Wis, Oct. g.
If the legislator who was instru-
mental in changing the fall term of
circuit court for Portage county from
November to the first weeks of Oc-
tober depended upon the formers
hereabouts for reelection, he would
have small chance of winning.
Court opened Monday, Judge Charlie
M. Webb presiding, when nine farm
err jurors were excused that they
might return to their potato fields.
Other jurors were drawn to replace
them, but practically all were farm
ers also and on Tuesday so many
appeals were made to Judge Webb
that he dismissed the entire panel for
two weeks.
While potatoes and corn are being
harvested, issue of fact for court will
be disposed of.

was tastefully decorated in Autumn

Saturday and Sunday was badly need
ed for the pastures and also for th e
Winter grain.
The hardwood trees which were
decorated in such beautiful colors
last week now stand with their naked
limbs pointing skyward and most of
the song birds have departed for
warmer chimes. The honk of the
wild geese can be heard as they are
making their annual trip southwark.
All these are signs that Summer days
are over and most of us are wonder
ing where the summer went to. No
one seems to be able to account for
the seeming shortness of the season

Most of the farmers in this local
ity are busy these days in digging
potatoes which are an unusually poor
crop, although the price is but soc
in the local market. The unusually
dry weather during the months of
July and August was the chief cause
for the poor crop. Bordeaux Mix
ture was used with great success
for the prevention of blight by sew
erai Of the growers. Many of our
farmers are beginning to realize that
there is something in the new fang-l-
ed way of raising ''Spuds.''
