says that he is pretty we'll content
with the way in which Henry Mink is
spending the county's money on the
hills and hollows of old Grant.
Miss Lille Foote, Potosi, had
the misfortune to lose a big nice
locket here in Lancaster, and then
she had the rare good sense to place
"Lost" advertisement in The Her
aid. 1t appeared in last week 8
issue, and very soon Harry Behncke
came forward with the lost ornament.
He left it here for Miss Foote, and
this office saw that he was suitably
rewarded There is no doubling the
efficacy of the want ads in The
Herald. Harry Behncke is a good,
bright boy.
August Koeller drove in with
his Maxwell car, last week Thursday,
to do little shopping. He lives
out in Waterloo, and can general y
make the drive in about an hour.
He came in by the way of the Hur
ricane, drive of Ia miles in just 55
minutes. Mr.. Koeller is a COW and
hog farmer, although he has sowed
16 acres of oats this spring. He
says this has been fine spring for
doing farm work. Potosi is his sell
ing market generally, but Lancaster
is popular with his family, when it
comes to buying supplies. He lives
near Potosi
-Otho Doll, who is something of
farmer and stockman, down in the
hollow to the left of the Hurricane
road, gave US the nice little job of
printing some letter heads and
envelopes the other day. Ohio breeds
and raises Short Horn cattle, and
that's pretty good job to have these
days. He has more than so head of
pure bred cattle of this big, profitable
breed. Then he has little meek
eyed Jersey COW to furnish milk for
the family in the house. And they
have to milk the Jersey by hand.
AS for the Short Horn cows, they let
the calves do the milking. Ohio says
Durham calf is the best kind of a
milking machine he ever heard tell
of. AS for the Jersey calves, why
he veals them, one by one. He says
one Jersey is all right, but he would
not like to be bothered with a flock
of them. Mr.. Doll. sold his farm
early in March, but retains posses
sion until March 1, 1916.
Chris. West was in from Cass-
vile, last week Thursday, and called
at The Herald office to see about a
little matter of business. So while
we had him in the Office we thought
it good idea to find out a bit about
this section of the country. Chris.
has sowed 40 acres of oats, and says
they are coming on slowly. By now
