DESTROY CANADA THISTLES

Whereas complaints have been pre-.
sented to the town board of De Smet
township of the careless name in
which some of our people are pre-
hitting Canada thistles and other
noxious weeds to grow and thrive
without any visible protest, which
seeming indifference being against
the laws of the state and the welfare
of the community, the town board
hereby desires TO call attention to the
fact that such shiftlessness is a mis-
demeaner and anyone guilty thereof
is subject to punishment by heavy
fines. Get after these weeds and
especially the thistles, they are spreGd-
ing Smite them early aud late
morning, noon, aud night, its to
your interests. Don't invite prosecu
ton for neglect of duty. II this is
not done, the town board will hire
some one to do it and you will pay
the bills.

To Live 14O Years.

The natural term of mans life, ar
guing from the logic and evidence Of
comparative zoology, is 140 years
and even this Is not the limit.
Life is a prOmissory note due one
day after date, payable on demand,
but by right living we can defer
payment almost indefinitely.
Eminent scientists tell us that
The life of the bones is 5000 years
The life Of the lungs is 1900 years
The life of the skin is 500 years
The life of the liver is 400 years.
The life of the kidneys is 800 years
The life of the heart is 800 years.
If 300 years is the life of the heart,
then one could not have the heart to
live after that
The Hindus. in the development Of
the physical man, claim for him not
only longevity, but immunity from
disease. They say to him: He is
determined not to fall sick. and he
does. He lives long, a hun
dred years is nothing to him; he is
quite young and fresh when he is
150."

The residence of j. II. Setabackeu
was broken into one day last week
while the family was absent. When
they returned from a trip to the

had taken particular care to lock

they discovered that their desk had
been,broken open and a twenty dollar
bill secured from a little purse, and a
few small articles were missing. Re-

The Oldham Register tells the
following story of hard luck that
fell to the Olson family of that vicin-

Olson is again able to be around after
his MOTORCYCLE accident in which a

bones in one hand were broken. The
Olson family seem to be having
rather more than their share of mis-.
fortune. Within the same hour
Henry was thrown from his wheel
in Spring Lake. a brother at home
was kicked by a horse and seriously
injured. Mrs. Olson brought the
boy TO the doctors Office and there
