Methods Of Farming - One Draes
Rails Down Mountain For Fence.
Washington.-Many human interest
stories Of girls and boys in the south
are being. sent to the department of
agriculture by its field agents engaged
in demonstration work among juvenile
clubs.
From Alabama came this story: Zone
girl who lives on top of mountain
cleared and fenced her own plot. drag
ging rails, one at time, down the
mountainside. As she lives alone with
her grandmother, she had no one to
plow for her. so she and her grand
mother dug the plot up with a grub
bling hoe. She split her ankle with the
Ak while chopping stakes for her plot"
This story came from an agent in
Arkansas: "Etta. Ealy and Ora Red
have moved on their own farm too late
for early tomatoes. They have planted
bunch beans, after which they will
raise late tomatoes. Their father died
in February. leaving their mother with
eight children. These girls, with a
fourteen-year-old brother, will run the
farm. 1t seemed as If the father could
have been the least spared Of any man
in the country. n
"One little Arkansas girl, with the
aid Of her sister, used small harrow
such as Is used for cotton beds to har.
row the space between the rows Of to.
0atoes in their canning club plot. One
girl took the place Of the horse in the
harrow while the other occupied the
place of the driver"
A report from Georgia says: "A little
girl Of Upatore deserves special men,
ton. Her parents are poor but good
people of fine sense. She went to
school. stood at the head Of her class;
did all the work Of her patch except
blowing working morning and even

cans and has put up 500 cans of toma-
toes and 200 cans Of blackberries, be-

THEFT BY LOCAL TALENT
Robbery Committed al ST. Peter Two
Months Ago; Some Of The Loot
Recovered

About two months ago, the office
of the Jensen & Lampert company
at st. Peter was entered, and in the
neighborhood of fifty dollars was
stolen from the cash drawer. The
robbery was committed about seven
o'clock in the evening, when. the
employees had gone home to supper.
The money was taken from the cash
drawer. but the burglar had opened
the safe and carried away the iron
drawer in the safe, which contained
number OF papers of no use to
any one but the owner. This box
was found last Sunday afternoon by
Hubert Brogan and William RIFT un'
der the shed of the Standard Lum-
Der company. while they were walk
ing down Front street. The box had
been broken open, but the papers
had been left undisturbed. The find.
ing of the box rather confirms the
theory of the police that the robbery
was committed by st. Peter people,
and. some one well acquainted with
the premises.
