Mail order houses secure business

Rattlesnake in Oven

Ethel lhOde, aged z, whose par

river, near Belvidere, had an in.
teresting adventure with a rattle.
snake. The little girl was playing
in the ..screened porched of her
home. On the porch was standing
an old gasoline oven, the door of
which was buttoned shut. The
child had hammered and pounded
the oven until a queer noise on
the inside Of the oven attracted
the attention of Mrs. Tbode, who
was working in room just off the
porch. The mother went to the
oven and opened it to see what
made the unusual noise. Her sur
prise was great when she discov-
cred large rattlesnake inside the
oven. The rattler was in an infur-
lated condition, due to the pound
ing of the child on the oven, and
was ready for battle the instant
the door was opened. Mrs. Thode
jumped back in time to escape be-
lug struck by the fangs of the rep
tile, which finally was driven
from it's refuge and killed.

To the voters of Stanley county:
Your attention is called to chapter
2l1 of the laws of 1909, which
will be submitted to the voters at
the coming November election.
This law was suspended by petit

endum. Should this law become
effective it will work a hardship
on the undertakers throughout the

This will cause a great inconveni-
ence and unnecessary expense to
the undertakers without any bene-
tit to anyone. 1t is earnested that

A LETTER FROM {, A. MORRISON
An Interesting Sketch of his Success in
Growing Alfalfa in Stanley County n

The following letter from The
pen of E. A. Morrison, of Hilland,
appeared in a booklet issued by
the traffic department of the North
western railway company, and we
believe will be of considerable in
terest to our. readers:
| Hilland, S. ID.
Traffic Department, C. & N. w.
Ry. Co., Winona, MINI.
Gentlemen:
My experience with growing al
falfa in Stanley county began nine
years ago, when seeded about a
quarter of an acre of creek bottom
land with five pounds of Turkestan
alfalfa seed bought in Milwaukee.
This experimental plat was new
ground plowed deep and disked
and dragged a good many times. |
had a good stand and it is a good
stand now; has been cut three or
four times each year, depending
on whether the first cutting was
early or later. Since then | have
sown number of different fields,
both on upland and bottom land,
using homegrown and Montana
seed. Have not failed to get good
stand and very little winter killing.
| made mistake in using Bronze
grass with part of my seeding,
which in time crowds out the
alfalfa.
| have had best results from
seeding on clean potato or corn
grounl, disked and dragged early
in the spring and again May 18th
to Goth, seeded broadcast at that
time and dragged lightly. Last
year the early spring being very
dry, l seeded few acres on felE
blowing with .. double disl drill at
the rate of 20 pounds per acre and
got fine stand and good growth.
l always seed with nurse crop
and NOW at least once, sometimes
twice, to keep down the weeds,
this depending on the rains. All
our farming has been done with
out irrigation. Our yield on bot
tom land has been three tons per
acre or better; on upland one and
one-half to two tons to the acre,
depending on summer rains.
l have had a good stand from
sowing on sod, but on account of
crowding out by native grasses the
land should be we'll cultivated for
two seasons for best results. After
first crop I allowed a few
acres to 20 to seed the past sea-
son and threshed at the rate of
four and one-half bushels per acre
of clean seed. The hay when nice
ly cured is worth nearly as much
as the same weight of grain. l find
it especially valuable for milch
cows, colts and calves.
Yours Truly,
(Sipned) f.. A. Morrison.

For County Superintendent

Stanley county needs for county
superintendent of schools, a person
who can get over this big coun-
ty and ascertain the individual
needs of each school district, and
then see that they are forthcoming.
This is no easy task. The work is
arduous and requires strength and
continuity of purpose. Summing
it up in nut shell briefly, it de-
mands a mans strength, and it
must necessarily take man to pro-
perly fill the duties incident to this
one, if not the greatest and most
important position in the county.
For thirty years Stanley county
has had lady superintendent.
That the work has been carried on
fairly we'll, it is not our purpose
to question at this time, but Stan
ley county is growing. 1t needs
the services of men educators as
of the other. 1t takes both the
father and the mother as rule, to
properly rear a child and see that
the best in them is brought out.
This can not be successfully de-
MED. lfthis applies as to parents,
why does it not apply with equal
force to the school education of
the youngl Therefore without
any thought or lnsinuation of say
ing one word against anyone, in
office or that may have ever held
the superintendency, it occurs to
US that it is not only just but right
that the Office of superintendent
OF schools should at least alternate
every four years, between the SEX
es, provided of course that suitable
and qualified services can be Sc
cured. This year the democratic
party of Stanley county goes be-
fore the people with a highly edu-

scholars in educational matters and
Stanley county needs just such

time, and q vote for him on Nov.
