Mrs. Amanda Irwin brought in some
samples of plums from the old farm
on which she used to live which are
certainly the limit on size and quail :

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing it's work. The pro-
prietors have SO much faith in its cur
alive powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that It fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Shelby tHarlan )-Rain 40: much
needed rain fell on the 22d; greatly
benefiting corn and potatoes. but not
enough to help pastures or fall pillow
ing; corn is maturing rapidly and will
be out of the way of frost about Sept
20.
Harrison Logan)-Rain 2.04 on 22d

short distance from this station: hot

indications favorable for increased
yield of corn over last year.

frost by Sept 20; it is maturing very
rapidly with this dry weather.
Greene (Scranton)-Rain, trace:

completed; grain in ideal shape; pas
lures badly burned out: corn seriously
damaged; some fields are fair, but 9TH
ers total loss: will make but little

20 TO mature.
Boone CNoodward) - Forty-eight
days without rain with the exception
of a few light showers, which were
barely sufficient to settle the dust; live
stock is shrinking on account of ex-
cessive heat and short pastures, some
feeding being done; tomatoes and cab
bage will be scarce: corn is severely
damaged; early planted fields will be
safe from frost Sept. Is. and remain

Story Gearing .25: corn is
generally filling well, but some fields

Marshall (AIarshalltown)-Ra so :
not over 5 per cent of corn is now out
of the way of frost and not over 80
per cent will be safe by Sept Is (Gil-

sometimes lost on the farm too. 1t
didn't pay in that case to leave the
city. One more illustration: Seven
years ago a man in, this county owed
only $4,000 on a big farm OF more than
400 acres. He made a sale which
Melted an amount about equal to the
Indebtedness. Went to town and started
the boys in business. There was loss
instead of profit and today the farm is
the cost of the venture. The farmer
had better have stayed out of the city
except as an occasional visitor.
w B. ufford, an Aredale farmer,
concluded that dipping tank was a
necessity on his farm and proceeded
to make one that differed in some re-
spects from other "creations" of the
$3.50 in lumber and 81 in iron rods
and gas pipe. Then in the usual man
ner he constructed tank ten feet long
at the top, sfoping the ends toward the
bottom, two feet at the head and five
at the foot. leaving the bottom three
feet long. The width is nineteen inches
at the top and thirteen at the bottom.
The platforms at the ends are of ce-
ment and it was not thought advisable
to let them rest on the ground be-
cause thru the frost action on the
earth they would soon be cracked off.
so they were raised few inches and
lit was here that the gas pipe was used
as reinforcement, giving the tank the
appearance of a big rock with only
few feet of its bottom surface touch
ing the ground. Pigs, sheep and calves
receive periodical treatment here dur
ing the spring and summer months
and the owner of the institution is sat
isfied that he is already ahead several
times its cost as the result of the sye-
,tematic use he has made of it.
Sam Fung. nationality unnecessary
to mention, is and has been for a good
many years in the laundry business at
Parkersburg. A few days ago Sam
made raid on the turtles in the vi
cinity of the Butler county town and
three leather backs" and a snapper"
found their way into a barrel as the
result 1t was later announced by a
lad who enjoys the friendship of Mr..
Fung that an invitation had been ex-
tended ITO three other laundry men,
one-time inlla bitants of the Flowery
Kingdom but now in business in Iowa
towns near by, to participate In a tur-
tle-soup feast which was to have taken
place some time last Sunday after
noon Affairs of a similar nature are
said to have been held there before and
lit is only reasonable to suppose that
the last planned function was pulled
off on schedule time and with complete
success.

How to XIII and Cook Postum.

Just how a possum ought to be killed
and cooked Is told in the Atlanta Con.
stltution by an expert known far and
wide In Georgia. He says:
ITO Kill a possum his head should be
placed beneath stick. Stand on the
stick and pull the possum's tail until
his neck is broken. A possum requires
careful treatment, and to cook one to
perfection a peculiar arrangement is
necessary. A pan on legs should be
provided with hole in one end which
can be plugged. Goals placed under
the pan will slowly cook the possum.
and as the grease runs out of the car.
oass 1t should be ORA wn of from time to
time. All the time the carcass should
be basted with a sauce made of pep
per and vinegar. In the meantime the
potatoes should be boiled. When the
possum is almost done the potatoes
should be packed in the pan around
the possum, a little sugar sprinkled
over them, and then the gravy which
has been drawn off from the pan
should be poured on, after which pos.
sum and potatoes should be Drowned

A Cure For Insomnia.

Next time your slumber fails to ar.
rive on schedule time cast all thought
of sleep from your mind and start in
to name to yourself all the friends
you have had or now possess. It's
much more interesting than counting
sheep, Perhaps you have only one
friend, but one is enough-he may be
the more appreciated. Just think Of
how you came to know each other, Of
how the friendship developed and Of
the happy incidents that have marked
your acquaintance. Or If you have
no earthly friends whatever, let your
thought dwell upon the great Friend
Of the friendless and how you came to
know him. Somehow the most pre-
cious of our earthly friendships seem
poor compared to this one that dis
lance and time and even death itself
cannot sever. And there is one advan-
tage in this attempt to defeat In
somnia-even your wakefulness Will
be enjoyable and restful.-Interior.
