serious, if not fatal, accident, when !
she swallowed a needle. Mrs. Hoy, |
who is a Filter at a ladies' store, |
breathed in one Of the needles which

in the upper part of the larynX. She
was given Immediate medical atten.

preparing to close the acre yield
corn contest that has engaged the
time and attention of so many boys
throughout the state this summer..J
Reports are lust beng received as to
average yields and condition of maj
turity OF corn entered in the contest.

der IS per cent mature. This is an
exceptional condition when it is Qpn.1
sidered that boys from every section

kenmare News: The way the petit
ions are being circulated in Minot it
to us that the l. ". W. trou.
