Woman's Stocking Free In

Some nearsgenius connected

pany Of Milwaukee has hit up
on the wonderfully brilliant
scheme of packing a woman's
st ,cking in each family size
package of checkers Cream
Oatmeal" This appears to be
Just about the limit in the line
of freak premiums.
One Omaha jobber to whom
the proposition was submitted
said that he would reply to the
Hecker people and advise them
that practically all the women
in this territory are now wear
ing silk stockings, so that an
offer of q cheap cotton stock
ing would not appeal to item.
Another jobber, who did not
care to have his name mention
ed, said that if the stocking
premium proved a winner he
would seriously consider put
ting out a private label oatmeal
package containing a pair of
knit unmentionables as a pre-
MUM. Which merely goes to
show the crazy extremes that
can be reached in the premium
game.-Omaha Trade Exhibit

His excited actions attracted
the attention of all the sales

Des Moines, Oct. 25.-Gov-
ernor Woodrow Wilson will
carry the state of Iowa by so,
900 according to the pre-elec-
ton vote being taken by the
Daily Capital.
Returns from forty.seven
counties gives the democratic
leader a plurality Of 1882.
Fifty-one counties are yet to be
heard from. The remarkable
and unexpected feature is the
strength of Colonel Roosevelt
in the northern and northwest
ern part Of the state. Follow
ing is the vote as returned by
the forty-seven counties:
Wilson 1885, Taft 55,O93,
r boswell 53,568 Wilson'S
plurality, 1882, Taft's plural
ity over Roosevelt 1926.
Carrying out the percentages
in these counties to the whole
state would give the state to
Wilson by $4,000 to $4,000 plur-
atty.

Horace Carpenter returned
last Friday morning from Usage,
Iowa, where he spent the winter
in visiting with friends and re-
Iatives. He got off the train
limping and with the aid Of a
cane, having during the winter
contracted a. severe case of
rheumatism. During the sew
eral days since his return his
condition improved very much,
and he is sure that the climate
in this great Bowbelle country
will put the disease on the hog
before another ten days pass.
Mr.. Carpenter tells The Tribune
that all vegetation was very
green in Iowa when he left there
and that most of the seeding of
all grains with the exception of
corn had, been completed. He
figured that, they were just about
three weeks ahead of us in the
way of warm weather in south
ern Minnesota and northern

A message was received by

Bottom, we'll known to many in
this great Bowbells country, had
died the night before at the
Northwestern Hospital at Mime
apolis. Mr.. Bottom had been i'll
for the past six weeks, and as
local physicians were unable to
give him any relief, he left about
three weeks ago with his wife
for the Twin Cities to consult a
specialist. The expected relief
was not forthcoming, and he
gradually grew weaker until
death put an end to his suffer-
ing. The remains will be shipped
to Flaxton where the funeral
will probably take place Sunday.
Mr.. Bottom was one Of the pio-

GAVE HIS Lift:
TO SAVE CH|L0
Brave North Dakota Farmer is
Crushed to Death Under
Horses Feet

Sheldon, N. d., May 14-Joe
Larson, whose farm is about two
miles north. of Sheldon, gave his
life in an effort to save his little
3-year-old daughter Vivian from
injury and possible death.
Mr.. Larson and his son Glen
had just finished loading a wag-
on with hay. Mr.. Larson was
about to drive to his other farm
with the load when his daughter
Vivian asked to go along and the
father picked up the little girl
and tossed her onto the high
load.
The team attached to the wag-
on was a pair of high-strung A.
year-old colts and just as Mr..
Larson put the little girl on the
wagon they started. The father
rushed to their heads but they
were excited. They had but a
short time before ran away
from Mr.. Larson's son and they
paid no attention to the effort to
stop them.
The brave farmer could easily
have sprung aside to safety but
the thought of the danger of his
little girl made him cling to the
Brides. The team reared, tore
loose from his grasp and he was
trampled under the feet of the
horses and the heavy wagon
passed over him, cruising him to
death almost instantly.
The team ran into a tree a
short distance awaysand> broke
loose from the wagon leaving the
little girl perched safely on the
load. Larson is survived by a
wife and eight children.

She told us that the firm which
has agreed to supply the farmers
with water for irrigation pur-
poses had not yet completed its
plant and for this reason they
were not as yet doing any farm
ing on their own places, but in
stead had leased tract which is

that they were farming this and
were getting big crops. The
Leshes are located about SIS miles
from Mountain Home where a
number of Bowbells people are
now residing.

SOMEWHAT EMBARRASSING
Lady at Valley City While in
Motor Boat Gets Skirts
Tangled in Engine

Valley City, N. D., May A.
A rather embarrassing incident
happened to a, young couple who
were motor boating on the river
here. The young lady was sit
ting on the rear seat getting in
structions in the art of operating
the motor, when her skirts got
caught on lag screw on the pro-
peller shaft, and in less time than
it takes to tell it she was wound
tighter than a drum-so tight in
fact that the three horse power
engine was brought to a stand
still.
Screams attracted a passing
boat which went to the rescue
and it took the combined efforts
of two persons and a couple of
jackknives to release her from an
uncomfortable predicament, leay-
ing her barely enough skirts to
flag a train. We drop the cur
tain here without an encore.
Who says there is more fun auto
mobiling than motor boating?
