Allegations of Plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs allege that the. former
owners entered into an agreement with
Butterfield whereby he was to assume.
without consideration. the nominal own
ership OF real estate and to subdivide
it with the aid Of Barnard, as trustee.

installment plan, the profits to be shared
by the defendants. Butterfield was to
act as sales agent and receive whatever
he got over and above the price agreed
upon.

his agency and has offered to reconvey
the record title of the property to Young,
and to indorse and transfer the notes to
him for collection, and that Young has
refused to accede and repudiates the
agreement.
Lots Advertised for Sale.
It is alleged Barnard, by direction of
Young, has advertised the lots for SALE
and that sale would work injury and
hardship.
Attorney r. P. Evans represents the
plaintiff.

spring. Mr.. Lund anticipates an ini-
provement in business conditions this
fall and winter, and looks forward to
lively year during 1912. 1t is this
optimism, so prevalent in new coun-
try, that keeps up the spirits of the
people, and casts a rosy hue upon the
future. 1t is the only way to take life,
anyhow, as the man who only sees
darkness ahead lags behind in the
race.

WHEN TO HARVEST.

Perhaps the most important consider
alton in connection with growing oats,
for hay Is the time and method Of har-
vestlng. They should be cut tat about
the time the oat kernel is passing from
the soft dough to the hard dough stage.
At this time the kernels is quite soft and
will easily be crushed when pressed be-
tween the thumb and finger. The now
er is commonly used IN cutting. The
moving should begin at a times OF the
day so that the crop can dry out very
quickly and very thoroughly. We
should not allow the mown grain to lie
out over night, because there is always
danger of a rain or OF heavy deWs
Either one will cause the feeding value
of this crop to deteriorate. A large
number of farmers have had good sue
cess by cutting the grain early in the
morning and putting it in the windrow
or cock late in the evening. When the
crop is handled in this name not
much damage Will be done if the crop is
allowed to remain out all night. AS
o on as the hay is sufficiently dry 1t
should be placed in the stack.
If the growth is very heavy and the
hay will not dry out sufficiently during
the day it can be cut along about the
middle of the afternoon and put up the
following day. If any of the hay crops
are to be left out during the night they
should be cut quite late in afternoon.
Dew or rain falling upon a partially
green crop Will not do as much damage
as it will when falling upon a crop that
is partially dry. A great deal OF care
should be used in handling oats to see
that but few of The kernels are broken

kind. Flies alight in and walk through
all kinds Of filth, which adheres to
their feet and legs. They carry it away
and deposit it upon food, both the raw
and exposed materials and the cooked
product placed upon the table. They
deposit the filth wherever they alight
-upon the human body or elsewhere.
The fly, therefore. is not only disgust
ing; it is distinctly dangerous.
The crusade which has for its slogan
"Swat the fly" is growing in force.
The latest phase of the anti-fy cam
paign carries the fight into the enemy's
country and makes it aggressive as
we'll as defensive. A New York physi-
clan urges the fly swatting operation
to go IN outside the house as we'll as
indoors. He proposes public fly traps
at every street corner to catch the
pests. 1t is this doctors hope that city
and town authorities nay take Mp the
matter officially and make the swat
ting Of the fly a municipal as we'll as a
household matter.
Indications are that in II few years
the swatterS will become almost as
active as the flies and that Mr.. and
Mrs. H%ousefy and their myriad prog
eny will be reduced to a comparatively
small family. This is a contamination
most devoutly to be wished. Swat the

Picnics Still PoDular.

A writer in a city newspaper Is sad
because. as he imagines. the old fash
toned picnic is no more. He seems to
think that modern conditions have put
the picnic out Of commission. that the
average person of today is a little
ashamed of it and declines to go on
those once delightful excursions to the
country when people spread their table
cloths on the grass and ate a kind of
communal dinner. with the viands pro-
vided by various families-and were
happy.
The writer mentioned makes a big
mistake. He makes it because he lives
now in a large city. If he would go
back to the town he lived in when he
was a boy he would discover his error
and apologize for it. He would find
that people still gather in a convenient
grove and hold picnics, just as they
did when he was a boy. The Sunday

People of the state are slowly learning
the provisions of some of the new laws
passed by the Legislature. One of the
changes permits a district judge to
decide whether parties to d divorce case

ture says: at shall be the duty of the

Civil War Stories.

There is noted already a revival Of
che civil war fiction story. due no
doubt to the fact that this year COM
pletes a half century since the begin
ming Of that most ~stupendous conflict.
For a generation after A%ppomattox the
"war story was ubiquitous. Fiction
fists found in the great struggle mate
rial for life sized novels, novelties,
short stories and plays. Readers Of
lhose days finally got plenty and some
more Of war fiction, the subject palled,
and there was q demand for other
sorts. Consequently the Union lieuten-
ant hero and the fair Confederate
heroine faded out Of popularity.
But now there is a new generation
upon the stage, and there Is a demand
for new civil war fiction. There Is no
reason to doubt that this demand will
be supplied amply in the next few
years. Both the streets and the woods
are full Of fiction writer's of measur-
able ability, who may be depended
upon to take advantage Of the public
thirst for thrill a In a The Ameri.
can civil war was replete with Incl.
