We farmer folks are seeing our
finish Of grain stacking or those OF us
who are not shock threshing.
Joe Odson and his brother Arthur
changed work stacking. Art stacked
Joe's grain and vica versa so they
finished on Thursday the day Of Mrs
Nellis DeNure's aid society gathering
Miss Wayne Kuhns acted as
chauffeur and with her fathers Buick
drove over to aid with the following
ladies, MeSdameS A. j. KuhnS, Robt.
Rae, Nellie Kuhns, Edith Wood and
f. "A. Knhns and son Dale. They re-
port a very enjoyable time and we are
still sorry that we were unable to be
present. Our folks have not finished
stacking yet, but had it not been for
the rain we would be done.
The rain tho is a great benefit to
the corn which Is the most promising
OF all crops In this section this year.
Not that the small grain Is not up to
standard. for 1t is, and as usual the
average per acre Is around fifty
bushels for oats. Robt. Rae has
threshed all day and only cleaned
ground sufficient upon which to set
the machine. He threShed the first
setting In the road we are told.
Speaking OF corn, reminds me that
Henry Rohlf has corn ten feet high
from the ground up and unless 1t
shrinks In the ripening process we
predict for Henry many pains in the
n Nlx - lit, nonIy ruHan 1o hr,obc e.
Frank Rolf has finished his red
clover harvest and any eaSterner who
says tame hay can't be successfully
grown in S. ID. will swear he never
said 1t when he see how thick the
stacks are. Frank had room to stack
all but one stack on his own land.
R. E. Wood and A. j. Kuhns were
first to finish threshing and Horace
Sanders sure did it up In short order
with his monster separator. He is at
Mr.. Berg's now and Judging from the
way the granary elevator is running
Mr.. Berg has some grain. There are
few who get more returns for their
labor than MI. B. when it comes to
farming and few who can do more
work than he.
+. q. Wiggln and f. p. Norton are
not done stacking but are SO rear the
end that they can see the last shock.
James, a brother of f. p. Is helping
him and Mi. Snider Is helping Carl.
Mr.. Snider arrived just recently
from MOrningSide, Iowa. He will farm
the place which will be vacated In
March by Fred James. We are sorry
indeed to loose Mr.. James and family

Snider and his mother.
Edwin Hill can now truthfully say
1t Is not good for man to be alone and
and eat his own cooking, but that Is
what he is doing In the absence OF
Mrs. Hill and daughters, who are at
Ruthaven, Iowa visiting relatives.
Mondays train from the south
brought Miss Nellie Rogers to visit
her sister Mrs. Grace Norton. Miss
Rogers lives at Logan, Iowa.
Another recent arrival in South
Lynn is Mrs. Jn0. Slocombe who is
visiting her daugter Mrs. G. L. Mundy
Mrs. Sloc0mbe was q former resident
here but now resides at Kalispell,
Montana.
Mrs. Gertrude Kafar paid a visit
recently to her son Paul who cooks for
himself on . farm east Of WOrthing.
Pau. Is always glad to have his mother
visit him.
The Erick Scion family are busy as
usual taking care Of their immense
crop. Mr.. Selom and sons manages
more than q half dozen fine farms and
holds the key to the secret Of working
in harmony. Other families could
