Minnewaukan Siftings: When a
newspaper gives you a lot Of free ad-
Vertlsing in order to boom some con-
cert or church entertainment which
you are Interested in, keep track of
the lumber Of lines that are printed
week by week, anu multiply thai num-
Der by the regular advertising rates of
that paper. Compare the results with
the actual money value of any favor
that you can get from any other bust
enSS concern. Then AXE into consid-
GRAFTON the fact that advertising and
circulation are the only two things that
a newspaper has to sell, and in these
days of high prices, how much do you
think they ought to give away for
nothing.
Farm Stock and Home: Potatoes
should be dug when mature, when the
vines die. To leave potatoes in the
ground after growth has ceased is to
injure the crop, especially if the
ground is wet. A potato will become
water soaked and soggy if left in the
ground too long. Early potatoes should
be dug early. The late maturing var1-
cites may be left in the ground as long
as they are harvested before too great
danger of freezing. Potatoes left in
the ground after Oct. 10, are in danger
of being frozen. The aim should be to
have the crop out the first week in
October. Potatoes will cure in the pit
Or cellar with less danger than in the
ground after Oct. /.
Great Northern trains from the Pa
cific coast are from six to ten hours
late on account of an avalanche in
the Cascade mountains caused by the
explosion of a large quantity of dyna-
mite by railway WOrkmen. The acct
don't occurred np9r SnpNio Hnf
Springs Wash, at the western end Of
the famous Cascade tunnel. A num-
Der Of snow sheds were being con-
structed at this point, and the rock
mountain walls along the track were
being removed by the use of dyna-
mite. 1t is supposed that too large a
charge of the explosive was used and
a great mass Of rock and debris de-
scended, completely blocking the
track. AS a result trains from the
Pacific coast terminals are being
routed by the Canadian Pacific rail-
way as far as Spokane. /.

told in letters from their friends, and
occasionally learning by personal WIS.,

are rotting or the ground, because the
