Finger story OF the ClutchinG Hand that
snatched from Benjamin Forer. q dia-
mond broker Of Los Angeles. satchel
which he said contained $1,000 In dia-
monds. II happened in Wall street and
no one seems to know much about the
robbery but Forer and his friend. August
Goldfarb.
The detective bureau is up a tree and
needs the services OF DR.. Watson. whose
frequently interjected ''marvellous!" be-
came the forerunner of the "Very good.
Eddie. very good" Forer said the street
was crowded and Goldfarb said It was
not. A trifing little detail. to be sure.
but puzzling to the Sherlocks.
All the couple seem to know about the
affair was that they were walking along
and then it happened. A hand-Zip!-
sl7.0 gone. Forer should worry. how
ever. He had teIegraphed back to Los
Angeles to have the gems insured shortly
before he was robbed.
Those serious-minded citizens who have
been fighting to abolish habit-forming
drugs in New York are in a quandary
over the snag the anti-dope law has
struck. II may be that every conviction
of drug fiends In New York based on the
fact that they had drugs in their pos
session when caught will be Illegal.

A Word to Farmers About Shocking

Just a line to remind you regarding
The shocking of your crop this fall.
You will find it work better and paw
you in every way if you have your
binder men dump the bundles in
straight rows; also be sure your
shockers set up the shocks in straight
rows. If you do this, when the time
comes to thresh, the shock leaders
will do you a good job, otherwise they
cannot be expected to do a satisfac-
tory job. This is the only right way
an which to harvest your crop, wheth-
er you use a shock loader when YOU
1hresh or not. If your binders do not
dump in straight rows and the shocks
are not set up in straight rows, you
are sure to get your shocks run over
and trampled down by the wagons and
teams. You will also find a pitcher
will make time and work faster when
the shocks are placed in straight rows.

THE BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time Years Ago This Lanqdon
Resident Got First Class Results

Years ago this Langdon resident
told Of good results from using Doan's
kidney pills. Now Mr.. Orion confirms
the former statement-says there has
been no return of the trouble. Can
Langdon people ask for more co%nvinc-
ing testimony?
c. Orton, the proprietor of a har-
ness shop in Langdon says: II was
troubled by a dull heavy ache Owe my
kidneys. At night l could not lie
in n position long. 1t was hard for
me to stoop or lift. l was satisfied
that my kidneys were %disordered, as
the kidney secretions were too fire.
quent in passage and highly colored.
After taking four boxes of Doan's
kidney pills every symptom of the
trouble disappeared. Several weeks
ago my back again began to bother
me, but Doan's kidney pills brought
me good results"
Over two years later, Mr.. Orion
said: "Nothing has occurred to change
my high opinion of Doan's kidney
pills. l al say that continued use
of this fine medicine made a perma-
nent cure"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

mended. Foster Milburn Co., Props,

In another column will be found an
open letter by John S. Gogin, of the
Nora farm at Osnabrock, which takes
up the question of the value of expert
mental tests in farming. The letter
is inspired by what Mr.. John Mahon
said in a letter which appeared in our
issue of July 29th and shows that Mr..
Gogin has made a number of expert
ments on his farm. He gives the
reader the results. These tests have
demonstrated their helpfulness to sue

Editor Peterson of Milton had. The
position carries with it great response

there are those who insist that the
governor could have found a better

not believe it. Thad has had military
experience and understands what is due

an order you may depend upon it that
he will carry it out-particularly if
