that Dad futile would probably put
in his time while the legislature was
in session this Winter as messenger
for Lieutenant Governor Gordon.

don't believe he will come home
Frustrated with over work.
Secretary Stewart reports that the
attendance at the annual Farmers
Mutual fire insurance meeting was
only fair, confined mainly to stock
holders within easy driving distance
of Wabasso. The losses during the
past year have not been extensive, as
appears from the report elsewhere,
and no assessment was necessary.
A proposition to insure automobiles
was voted down by the stockholders,
but the latter consented to allow of
policies being placed on threshing
machines, when properly housed, at
double rates. With over five mil
lions of insurance written, the Red
wood Mutual ranks third or fourth
from the top of the list of Farmers
mutuals of the entire state. The
stockholders evidently decided on
letting well enough alone, the old
directors and officers being contin-
ued in office without change.

BelvleW Independent: Redwood
Falls citizens showed that their heart
was in the right place on Tuesday
last by the selection of a council
which will place that city in the dry
column for 1911 and we doubt not
that the day of the saloon in that CT
ty has gone forever and it is we'll.
We take off our hats to the people
of Redwood Falls for having per-
formed duty well. Bravo.

look after the needs of Cadillac pa
irons, present and prospective, in
ten southern Minnesota counties.
Mr.. Stensvad knows his Cadillac all
the way through and back again,

business sagacity and enterprise will
insure his success in this field. Two
1911 models of the Cadillac family
have already been set out by Agent
Stensvad, at the Japs garage, and
another consignment of the cars is

morning at point about five miles
west of here. He had been in this
city during the afternoon and in
company with companion filled up
with liquor. About midnight the

later, when he came back to con-
seriousness, he was lying on a bed in
the widow Holmes house and the
doctor had just finished fixing him
up. What more natural than that
he should be taken into the house Of
the woman whose life he had saveda
Aside from his broken ribs and con-
tusicns he had received bad cut
over the eyes.
Mr.. Parker hadn't meant to be a
hero. He hadn't seen that there was
romance in that runaway. He had
simply acted on impulse. He didn't
at all realize what a good thing he
had done until Mrs. Holmes tear
fully insisted that he had saved her
life and that she could. never show
half enough gratitude. He must
atay right there and be nursed for
weeks and she would still be owing
him a debt Everything should be
done for his comfort and he need
not worry about anything.
The mayor of the town, the alder
man Of the Fourth ward and the
leading merchant were among the
callers and sympathizers, and within
three hours Of the accident almost
everycitizen Of Red Plains knew that
a real hero was in their midst.
1t was gratifying to Mr.. Parker
He cuddled down in bed and sailed
and felt warm glows steal over him.
It just did him good to hear from
the lips Of the widow about six times
a day the words:
at was SO brave and noble of you,
Mr.. Parkerl You saw | was over,
come with terror and you did not
hesitate one instant to put your life
in peril"
Owing to the injury to his eyes
the room was kept darkened and he
couldn't get fair sight Of the wom-
ans face, but her voice was gentle
and caressing. If the owner of it did
most of her shopping in Boston, in
stead Of patronizing home industry,
there must be some satisfactory rea-
son behind it There was likely more
style to the Boston stores, although
Red Plains did seem to lead the
country on blue-dotted muslins.
There we're beef tea, mutton
broth, chicken soup and other deli
cacies There was the widow Holmes

at hand to talk of heroism. There
was the satisfaction Of knowing that
romance had been caught with the
goods on her and that Mr.. Parker
was ahead of the game. He wasn't
a man to say much, but on the first
day he could be lifted out of bed
by man and made comfortable in
an invalid's chair his heart melted
and his tongue spoke. He asked the
widow to nurse him for life.
"T--I had no thoughts Of marry
ing again." she stammered.
"But this seems to have been or (
dained. Not once in a lifetime are
two people thrown together as we
have BEEN"
"You surely saved my life, and
and
"1n way it belongs to me. / think
I shall mend faSter if / have your
promise"
"Then you dear, brave man, you
shall have itp
1t was a week later when Mr..
Parker found out his mistake. Ii
came to him with a bump. 1t was
that white-headed boy who had
mixed things up and it was the
same boy who unmixed them. He
came into the invalids room one day
to ask:
"Ain't you the fellow that asked
me where the widow Holmes lived
that day Of the runaway"
eyes"
'Did you mean this one or totherf
I forgot to ask. If you meant t'other,
then l can tell you she went off and
got married the day afore l saw
you"
The Widow Holmes who hadn't
gone off and got married became Mrs.
Parker in due time and there have
never been any rumors aAoat that
Mr.. Parker was at all dissatisfied.

BROOMCORN

NV " " " " " y " " ~
The late crop here will not
amount to much from present in
dications. The grasshoppers are
taking the late crop as soon as it
forms a boot. There will be but
little late corn here that will be
pulled. The best we have seen is
little more than knee high.
Two cars of mixed brush were
shipped from Liberal last week.
There is some old corn, and a little
new coming on to the market
here this week. However, pro-
ducers seem to be holding off for
better price and it is likely that
the coming week will see quite q
lot of brush moved in this terri
tory. The scarcity of brush in
the east has caused agreat demand
among the manufacturers, and as
result, the buyers here are rush
ed with orders they cannot fill.
On Monday the market showed
decided bull tendency, and the
price began to advance. Up to
that time, the top paid here was
$500. By Wednesday the market
was up in the air. and Thursday
morning there was a small quantity
of brush sold for $3.50 per ton.
There are several crops that will
not be sold until they go for $3.50
here according to the owners. The
buyers here say there will be a re-
action inside of two weeks and the
price will drop, but present indi-
cations are that the crop NAV go
higher. The acreage this year is
small, there is little long brush
left over from last year and the
yield is not so good as was gener-
ally supposed early in the season.
AS to how high or how long it
will stay high, no one knows, but
the indications now are on the bull
side of the market.
A report from Charleston this
Thursday morning, reports a great
storm in the broomcorn district
there, saying that much of the
corn was blown down and that a.
great deal of brush was damaged,
Corn there has been selling for
$3.50 and $40, while but little OF
it has sold, most of the producers
holding their crops for SITS and
5000 per ton.
A telephone message from Guy
mon received this morning, states
that brush there is selling for
$l35 per ton, triAe under the
market at Liberal.
If you like the Democrat, and
its market reports, tell your neigh
bors. If you find them wrong,
tell US,
The dry weather is just what
the broomcorn buyers have been
wanting. Their very general COM
plant is the fact that the brush is
weighing too heavy, much of it
being too wet to 90 in the ware
house.
