A Word For Small Burgs

Huron Herald: The Redfeld Jour

on Aberdeen. 1t seems that Redfield

deem has been grabbing all the hon.
ors. a part of which belonged to
Redfeld. Aberdeen, Miller claims.

the woods, which assertion has caus-

Aberdeen in loud voice. Viewing
the situation as the Herald does,

Aberdeen has on either of her small
er sisters in the way of population
they make up in the way of progress
slveness. good fellowship and grit.

How to Select Saloons

The new state law of n saloon
to each 600 population cuts down the
number of saloons no running in
in several cities. Miller has three
now, but after July LIST can have
but two.
Among suggestions for deciding
who shall conduct saloons two pro-
positions are being discussed. One
is to call a special election for the
voters to DECIDE, and the other is a
public auction. to let license to the
highest responsible bidder.

Don't Do IT."

There are some things that a level

with kerosene oil. to walk on a rail

volver at another, to put his name
on another mans note. to KEEP his
savings in an old stocking under the

Corn Smut

Seed corn cannot be treated in any
way TO prevent smut. Smut spores
are usually present in the ground
and in the atmosphere in sufficient
quantities so that it is possible for
them to find entry in to the plant
thru some wound in the surface or
thru some tender portions of the
plant such as Young ears. About
the only practical measure for de-
creasing the number of smut spores
and consequent presence of the fun
gus is to gather and burn the stalks
which are most affected. This is
probably not practical on a very
large . scale, however. it Is possible
at husking time to put a good many
of the worst infected stalks into the
wagon box and haul them to the
ends of the rows where they may be
gathered and burned.--B Professor
