tons or more; hay, SO acres, three
tons. The beet land has raised IL
consecutive crops of beets, and has

Ernest Bjorkman, of West Firth,
has $50 acres of land, and raised
good crops this year except potatoes.
He did not have good stand for
the reason that the tenant did not
cut the seed in uniform sizes and
allowed the large pieces to choke the
planter and make a very poor stand
AS result there was only about one
third of crop. Mr.. Bjorkman has
some rough land but he gets good
crops. He has a dozen or more cattle
on the place and 100 pure bred Duroe
Jersey hogs Last spring he sold 100
acres of land to Messrs Gentlin, who
are farming it and are delighted with
it,

land, and farms large part Of 1t
He had q large tract of winter wheat
and last fall he watered IL acres Of
It in September to get 1t ready fol
blowing and seeding. 1t rained sc
much he thought It.. useless to keeI
on watering, and plowed and sowed
It all, Where he watered 1t, the croI
made 40 bushels per acre, and the
rest of it went as low as .15 and 20
bushels. The part that was watered
in the fall needed only one watering
in the following spring. The rest OF
it required two, and still made q
poor yield.

- nee upon a time a sporting
writer by the name of Kelly was
- lured from his home in Buffalo
to Niagara Falls. This fellow Kelly
went TO the town which made the va
terfalls famous for the purpose Of ref
ereeing an affair that Is known as
match de boxeo. in Spanish. and is
called a prize fight in vulgar Anglo
Saxon language.
Kelly is a very famous fellow and
what he doesn't know about the match
de boxeO business is not worth con-
filming in ones dome He has. in ad-
dition TO other qualities, an unerrlng
judgment as TO who wins But on this
mOmentOus occasion, which took place
permitted in New York, his unerring
judgment conflicted with that Of a
large part Of the audience.
It so happened that one OF the con-
something akin to local talent IN Nj

OF money had been withdrawn from
the bank that day by the Niagara Fall
ers 50 they coult bet on the local tai
ents chances.
Wen, in due course of time. the end
Of the fight was reached Both men
were on their feet and Of course a de-
cision by the referee was necessary. In
view Of the fact that the local talent
that should have demanded the atten-
ton Of the Humane society there was
only one thing for this Kelly fellow to
do That was to award the decision to
the guy who had battered the local tai
ent party into a sad looking wreck.
Kelly did what he should have done
he lifted up the arm Of the outsider as
soon as the final gong had been sound
ed And then things began to burst
For fleeing second after Kelly
had made his ruling silence resigned
in the house. And then a wild roar
shook the place. The roar grew Wild
er and wilder as the crowd that had
bet on the local talent realized that
its money belonged to the enemy.
Realizing that discretion is the bet
ter part Of valor Kelly did the only
thing that could be done. He leaped
from the ring and sped to the nearest
exit with the crowd in mad pursuit and
only two jumps in the rear Kelly
struck out into the night with both
legs and he went faster than anyone
ever ran before
OF course, in view OF his speed. Kelly
soon distanced pursuit. but when he
discovered that he had done the dis
tancing he also discovered that he had

Country Must Get
 Ready: Fairbanks
Former Vice-President Says War Orders Will Leave Us in
 Fix.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 23.-That the end of the war and the withdrawal of war orders will leave this country in a dangerous economical situation is the belief of Former Vice-President Fairbanks who delivered an address here last night. Mir. Fairbanks said in part:
 "The present prosperity of the United States is based on war orders which are only temporary and will end in a period not later than the life of the next administration, and at that time our own national life and markets would be profoundly affected if we fail to provide safeguards. We must get at a pro-American, con structive program bringing about first the restoration of the protective tariff. Secondly, we must have ade- quate preparedness for national de- fense. Thirdly, we must restore the American flag to the oceans. Fourth ly, we must have organization that will enable us to market our wares throughout the world, we must have our own ships and establish banking facilities on both hemispheres."

FL PASO, Oct. 28.-According to messages received in Juarez, Felix Diaz has appeared near Mexico City at the head of forty thousand men and is now threatening that capital. The force is said to be made up of Zapataistas amongst others and this is taken to mean that Diaz is an ally of Villa. Diaz is the nephew of the late POrtfrio Diaz, formerly president of Mexico, and is known to have been mysteriously active again for some time. It is rather doubted that he could have mobilized so great an army with such secrecy.
