Bst in many northern states there is

revel in, and We do soHs great stunts
in reproducing our kind. Indiana, Iii
ssis, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
twO Dakotas are in this potato Eone

red bushels per acre being not At all
.. unusual annual yield.
We grow well in Scotland, England,
Holland, France and adjacent countries
but in the soil and climate of cold
iceland" We found = congenial home
and are thoroughly appreciated by the
kindly people of that island.
In the United States the potato fam
lily is an important part Of the vegeta-
BILE kingdom. We yield around 20O,-
OOO,OoO bushels annually, which be-
sides other uses to which we are applied
means about 90 bushels for every hu-
man being in the nation.
In the old days of the Indians we
potatoes were used in two ways and
for food only. That is We were eth
er baked in the hot ashes Of the camp
fire or mixed with other vegetables and
cereals in succotash.
In these later days, Yankee ingenu-
ity has brought it about so that not
one atom of our portly bodies is vast
ed, and even the juice Of our vines is
used for coloring. OF course We are
fed to domestic stock and poultry, but
that is not exactly a direct manufac-
ture, though it is an important use to
which the under sized of our kind are
brought. Then, too, many Of us are
sliced and pressed to extract juice
from which starch is made; and / am
sorry to say that latterly in that form
we have been forced to play = false
part in some instances, for some manu-
facturers have mixed us with corn
starch which claims to belong to

There is one use, or misuse, for the
potato family which I have not men
toned as yet, because we are not
proud of it; namely, the manufaetur.
of Scotch whisky and alcohol. In their
proper places these products are 4 ben

w. II. Haley of Rife was here 3
few days ago and when the Rifle crops
were mentioned he became the most
talkative man in Glenwood. He said
he had sixty acres of sugar beets which
will average between fifteen and
eighteen tons to the acre. This is
certainly = fine crop of beets and
proves more than ever the wisdom Of
getting more settlers into the county.

H. c.. Pattison while riding in the
hills after cattle, south of town, on
Thursday, met with an accident similar
to the one experienced by D. w. Shores
a few days ago. His horse stepped in-
to 4 badger hole while going At a good
pace, and threw Mr.. Pattison heavily
to the ground, dislocating his shoulder
and bruising the bones considerably.
He is carrying the injured portion in a
sling, and thinks it will be o X in q

him at the time and promptly threw
the shoulder into place, but Pat says
it is terribly sore.-Carbondale Item.

Word comes from the Joe Selhy
ranch to the effect that his oats this
year averaged los bushels to the acre.
Since Mr.. selby has been raising bet
ter than 100 bushels to the acre from
this field for the past three or four
years, it has become more of 4 habit

and the Kansas editor who boasted of

they told me that she was the most radiant
bride they had ever seen. She wore gown
made of real bridal satin Of ivory tint trim
med with real lace ard most gracefully
draped. Her veil was long and arranged
with orange blossoms which her sweet
mother picked right off of the tree in their
garden as the bride was being dressed.
Mrs. Stephens wore gown of gold and
silver brocade.
The reception was held in the garden and
the supper was served from their japanese
summer house.
The six bridesmaids all wore pink satin
with chiffon with Dresden chiffon draperies.
The prettiest part of their costumes was
their pink tulle hats, which they carried by
their pink satin ribbon streamers in front
of them, filled with Cecil Bruner roses.
Curiosity has been rampant in the Con.
