A little foresight on the part OF ing
American farmer may bring him huge
returns in the course of the next year.
Before many days have passed the
time will be at hand for planting WIN,
ter wheat-one of the chief of the

twenty millions of the men of Europe
engaged in shooting each other and

a safe prediction that the winter "neal
crop Of Europe will be far pelo" tne
average next year. That means tha'
the world will perforce turn to Amer
lea for its supply of the grain that
makes the staff of life" and If our
CORNERS have planted wisely they Will
pe In position to supply the demand
at what may prove to be fancy figures.

same in spite of the cry that the

It was a summer evening.
Old Kaspars work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was 81 ng in the sun;
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhemine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rvulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found
That was large and smooth and round
Old Kaspar took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with natural sigh,-
"Tis poor fellows skull, said he,
Who fell in the great victory.
II find them In the garden,
For there's many here about;
And often when go to plough.
The poughshares turn them out;
For many thousand men," said he,
Were slain in the great victory
Now tell us what twas all about
Young Peterkin he cries.
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder waiting eyes,
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each other for"
1T was the English Kaspar cried,
Who put the French to rout
But what they fought each other for
could not well make out;
But everybody said quoth he.
THAT twas famous victory
my father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by;
They burned his dwelling to the ground,
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he Ned,
Nor had he where to rest his head.
with nre and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide;
And many childing mother there,
And new born baby died:
But things like these you know must be
At every famous victory.
"They say It was shocking sight
After the field won-
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting In the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlborough won,
And our good Prince Eugene"
"Why twas very wicked thing"
Said little Wilhelmine.
"Nay nay my little GIRL" quoth he. ~s.
'It was q famous victory.
"And every body praised the Duke
Who this great fight did win
But what good came of 1t at last?"
Quoth little Peterkin.

POLK COUNTY DOCKET LARGE.
August Term to occupy Many Days
With Civil Cases.

The August term of the circuit court
for Polk county, which will have its
commencement under the supervision OF
Judge Holmes on Monday, August 8,
tedious session for judge and
iurymen. The docket will contain over
100 cases, of which A will be actions
for money, these causes occupying the
major portion of the clerk s calendar.
There will be some 16 foreclosure
proceedings, about the same number
of actions to quiet title, 15 divorce ae-
tions and the balance of the time, aside
from the two indictments now pending
and the cAses to come before the grand
Jury, will be devoted to appeals from
the justice court, replevins, aecountings,
dissolutohs Of partnership and petty
cases of similar nature.
The retrial Of Davis will, perhaps
develop more of interest than any OF
the criminal cases. Prosecuting AT
torney Sibley, who assisted in the first
trial with Attorney Upjohn, will nc
doubt present a stronger case against
the accused Ballston murderer than th'
defense can expect. Davis will neet
to stand on the original charge Of mur
der in the second degree, the maximum
penalty being sentence for life.
The grand jury will convene on Jul.
30th, and it is expected that those nov
awaiting their action will be greete
with indictments charging theft or lar
ceny.-Obseryer
