II. l.. Button returned home Satur-
day from an auto trip to his farm in
Perkins county, making about 1,20O
miles on the trip. He tells us that the
northwestern part of the state has the
finest crop it ever harvested, and as a
result land prices are good. The peo-
pie of that section have learned a
bitter lesson and that is that they
could not depend upon small grain
every year, so they have gone into the
dairy business and there is lots Of
alfalfa planted. AS a result they are
making enough money to buy Fords
and put up fine homes. Creameries dot
the country everywhere and there are
seven within ten miles of Mr.. Buttons
farm. New citizens are coming into
the country and it promises to be n
of the most prosperous and populous
sections of the state.

He was going so fast that

Tuesday to walk back. The big fellow
was let out Saturday on condition that
he get out Of town and that morning a
very peaceable coon started in the
direction of Volga. There are a lot of
tough guys travelling through the coun-
try just now and the only system for
us to pursue is to pass them along to
the next town.
