Seems to me, from what I read and
near that there isn't any forage raised
in the civilized world about which
the ideas of people vary so widely as
alfalfa. Some farmers are as enthus
iastic over 1t as a young mother over
her first baby. And some cant find,
or invent, words bitter enough no
express their contempt for it,

Quilts For the Governor.

Great elation is felt among the
members of the Ladies' Aid Society OF
the Christian Church of this city over
the fact that they have been signally
honored by having received an order
from His Excellency Governor West,
for two of their famous hand-quilted
"comforters," which are known for
neatness, durability, and above all for
their adaptability to the purpose for
which they are intended. The choice
made by the chief executive of the
state is proof positive that he knows
that Polk is the "Blue Ribbon Coun-
ty' for quilts as well as for many 9TH
er things of value. The money re-
ceived from the sale will be devoted to
benevolent purposes by the society,
the officers of which are: President,
Mrs. I. l.. Smith; vice-president, Mrs.
E. w. Matheny; secretary, Mrs. e.
