farmers are parting with their hogs at
just the time they should increase
them. Do not throw up your hands
in despair because the war and the
wheat farmers have stolen your antic-
ipated profits in hogs. The history of
the past reveals that one extreme fol-
lows another. High wheat means few
er hogs in the wheat country and that
in turn means more money for your
hogs. Again high priced wheat means
increased production until when set
tied conditions again prevail there will
come a time when wheat will drop un-
mercifully and the wheat farmer will
be hunting your hogs for avenues to
dispose of his wheat. You cannot buy
his wheat now and beat him at his own
game, but you can rise to the situa-
tion and raise your own feed, save the
hogs and reap the harvest.
The same is true of dairy cows. That
dairyman who does oneeftlddllourk-w
dairyman who does not feed grain is
certainly back number and high
priced grain is driving many cows on
the market at slaughtering prices.
This condition can be remedied.
Many of our members have found
that they have worthless trees in their
orchards and arrangements will be
made to have day of demonstration
in top-working of trees.
Watch for these dates.

HARMONY CONCERT PARTY

The Harmony Concert Party who
appeared at the high school Monday
evening was one of the best numbers
of the Redpath Lyceum course. The
evenings entertainment was enjoyed
by large crowd and local music low
ers are unanimous in characterizing
the members as real artists. The
work Of Mrs. Geo. C. McNemery, pi-
anist and Alois Hrababk, flutist, par
ticularly elected much favorable COM
ment. Other members of the party
were Mr.. McNemery, banjo and man
dolin, Cal. Jordon, harpist, and the lit
tie daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. McNem-
cry. The last number Of the course is
Prof. Montraville Wood and company,

main until it is opened at the close Of

Sheriff Anton Osten and Deputy
Sheriff Jacob Hllger yesterday after
noon had three-hour search for
Charles Hodapp, who had disappeared
from his homie in Mankato township,
FIVE miles east OF the city. The home
of this man is the old Andrew An
deregg place. The officials secured
the country in, that neighborhood and
searched along the Northwestern and
Dan Patch rights of-way, but could
obtain no trace of him.
Charles Hodapp. a man of about
twenty-eight, wass married two years
ago to a daughter of John Mander-
field, a farmer OF Mankato township.
Since that time the two have been
living on their present farm.
The man was last seen by his wife,
prior TO his sdisappearance, on Wed
nesday morning about eleven o'clock.
On that morning he seemed somewhat
queer and did not appear to take any
interest In the farm work. His seed
ing was not finished, yet he sseemed
to care little about that After a
time he told his wife that he was 60
ing to tell his father to come over TO
the farm. She asked why he wish
ed his father TO come. He said, oh.
because" and he went away. That
was the last she saw of him. After
wards a little girl OF twelve to four
teen years, sister of Mrs. Hodapp,
said she saw him going through the
woods south of the house. The little
girl was herding cows.
Mrs. Hodapp waited until Thurs
day afternoon for her husband so re-
turn. Then she drove over to the res
idence of his father. George Hodapp,
a mile to the southwest. She found
that he not been there. She went
back home and waited until the next
morning and still her husband did not
show up and there was no trace OF
him. Then she called up Sheriff Os-
ten and told him about the mans dis
appearance.
The young man is described as
twenty eight years OF age. five feet
eight inches tall weight 100 pounds.
Sheriff Anton Osten and Deputy
Sheriff Jacob rffflger this afternoon
started out into the country in an au-
tomobile on a second search for the
missing Charles Hodapp. II has been
learned that the man at the time of
his disappearance had no money with
him. He had money coming from a
creamery. as his check showed, but
this check was not cashed. He wore
blue coat and overalls. dark
shirt and a corduroy cap. There was
some Indebtedness on the farm, but
his father states that there was no
need of the young man worrying over
that.
