Reports Of crop damages in the West
are always exaggerated. Cold storms
have prevailed in large areas and much
harm has been done to agricultural i'm
~terests. but every crop year witnesses
the same losses. The greatest danger
is from drought. If there are favor
able weather conditions in June, July
and August, the year 1910 will be an

COUNTY BOARD PROCEEDINGS
(Continued.)

We believe it will be wise at this
session of the County Board for your
Honorable Body to elect the Trustees
who will have charge Of the County
Asylum and farm. This year we have
about 10 acres of improved land on
which We got a crop. Next year there
to 220 acres as on some of the land
purchased the owner reserved the
crop for 1910. 1t will require a com
petent and experienced man to hand
lie the asylum and the farm and if
you are going to get a good man it
will probably take or 4 months to
locate him and he should be on the
farm the first thing in the spring to
put in the crop etc. We have one
very good barn on the farm and we
think they viii be able to get along
with this for the first year or two.
One thing that has not been includ-
ed in the above estimate is some mean
of fire protection and water service
for the building To provide this we
figure on erecting tank on a steel
frame outside of the building, as this
seems to be the most feasible. This
will cost in addition to the above fig
ures 81 900 90 to s1,50000, depending
somewhat on the size Of the tank etc

BLISS CONCERT
ORCHESTRA

The recently organized Concert Or
chestra is composed of local music
ians who play because they enjoy it.
The Bliss Dance Orchestra is sep
arate and apart from this one and is
paid for it's work
This Concert Orchestra is compos-
| ed of members who give their service
to the various churches and other or
CARNATIONS and for this work must
have a large library of muisc to Sc
lect from
Grand Ranids is always patriotic
and supports well organizations of
this kind All we ask is that you
buy a ticket for the Dance January
9TH next. as the funds from this dance
are solely for buying music.
We have already put in fifty dollar
and have just made start, so you
can easily see what it costs to keep
a collection of music that is up to
date.
The following clipping will be appre-
ciated by others besides musicians:
An UnseIfish Patriot.
State Center Enterprise: There is
not in any community man from
whom so much is expected for moth
ing as from the village bandsman
He is supposed to turn out and make
music on all sorts Of occasions, CIV
ing up his evenings to practice, his
holidays to performances and being
rewarded with votes of thanks and
an occasional plate of sandwiches Too
often he works for nothing and board
himself
Only the man who leads a church
choir can rank with him in unselfish-
ness.

NECK SPLIT Open
WHEN He WAS HANGED
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

SAN QUETlN. Cal. June 17.-Er-
nest Wirth, convicted Of numbering
his wife in Los Angeles several
weeks ago, was hanged here at
1890 today. After the trap was
sprung Wirth's neck was split open
and blood spurted from the jugular
vein. Physicians in attendance eX.
amined the body after il was hauled
up and said the reason for the neck
breaking open was that Wirth had
made six previous attempts to hang
himself and that the muscles of his
neck had been weakened.
After the hanging Warden Hoyle
said he hoped this would end capital
punishment in California.
He said he would use his efforts
to have law enacted prohibiting
hanging.
The doomed man broke down and
wept
