Harvesting as 1t Used to be.

The harvest season is upon us
Quite different it is to the times in
the long ago when the whole neigh
borhood had to exchange work in
order that the crops might be saved.
1t took five men to bind the wheat,
two to shock it and two men to run
the reaper and boy to carry the
water. That made ten people that
the farmers wife had to cook for
and it took several days to harvest
LIE big wheat field =, Different va
rieties were sown so that it did not
all ripen at the same time and in
this manner the harvesting crew
were able to take care of all the
grain in the neighborhood. After
the self rake or dropper came into
use 1t took one man less to handle
the reaping machine. Later on the
Marsh harvester came upon the
scene. This was a machine upon
which two men rode and bound the
wheat by hand as fast as the bund-
les were of different size. In heavy
grain it made them hustle. Then
came the modern binder and with
1t an attachment for gathering the
bundles. Now, two men will do the
work that required ten in the olden
days. In place of cooking for an
army OF men in harvest time the
good housewife sees no difference
between harvest and the corn plow-
ing season.-Cedar Falls Record.

CARNIVAL FOR OSSIAN.
August 2Jth and Goth Are the Days
For This Event.

Some time ago this paper an
nounced that Ossian would have
another Carnival this year, but on
account of lack of enthusiasm the
event was called off. The business
men of Ossian, however, after re-
considering the matter, held another
meeting at the town hall Wednes-
day evening of last week, and un-
animously decided that Ossian
should hold her annual festival on
Thursday and Friday, August 25th
and 26th, 1910. The right spirit
was manifested at the meeting, all
declaring that Ossian was big
enough and patriotic enough to put
on a Carnival this year that would
Guido all others ever held in this
city.-Ossian Bee.

1t was perfectly clean, nothing but
a little cement and sand being

ANOTHER GRAFT UNEARTHED
Farmer Near GriswOld Fleeced Out
of $1,000 i'm Cash.

1t appears that the people are
hard-earned cash on some easy
money" game, or that the grafters
never tire of separating the victims
from their coin.
Henry Werlich, prominent
farmer living near Griswold, was
swindled out of $4,000 recently
Werlich has just told the public
of his loss. He lost his money on an
old game, with possibly variations.
A stranger appeared who wanted to
buy Weirich's home farm. AS an
evidence of good faith the stranger
said he had $4,000 on deposit with
a Griswold bank. This Werlich veri-
fed. On Weirich's return from
town he found another stranger on
the farm. Stranger No. 2 was in
toxicated and displayed a big roll
of cash. and had game which he
wanted Werlich to gamble on Pres
emily stranger No. 1 showed up.
Easy money" he told Werlich, re-
ferring to No. rs game. Acting in
accordance with instruction from
stranger No. l, Werlich went to
Griswold and secured $4,000, one
half his and one-half from the bank
account of stranger No. /. They
bet and Werlich won the pot, about
$4,000 in all. This sum was placed
in tin box and turned over to Wei
rich for safekeeping, stranger No. l
intending to return next day, when
he and Werlich were to divide. That
evening Werlich became curious and
he broke open the box to find that
1t contained only waste paper Mean

post in the Griswold bank.-Ex.

HOW TO REMOVE LARGE LIMB
Illustration Shows How Large Branch,
Hanging Over Roof, Was Easily
Taken Down.

l recently had occasion to remove
one of the main branches of large
elm tree, writes G.. O. Ormshee of
Washington county, Vermont, in Farm
and Home. The branch in question
was IL inches in diameter, IS feet long
and attached to the tree at height of
80 feet 1t hung over a sla.e-roofed
barn, which made it necessary to keep
1t off the roof and it was not prac-
ticable to remove it in sections. The
illustration shows the plan that was
adopted.
First, ladder was PLACED against
the tree, then pair of self-locking
pulleys, a, were suspended from the
limb, b, and attached to the branch
about four feet from the tree. Next,
rope, b c, was attached to one of the
larger limbs of the main branch, and
another rope, b d, attached to another
limb The object Of these ropes was
to prevent the end of the branch. from
falling upon the roof, and it was nee
essary to use two ropes to prevent it
from tipping and turning sidewise.
One end of the rope, b g, was
thrown over the limb at b and down
to the ground, where it was snubbed

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
ssied everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see if it would return
but It never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,
