Dewey Sathern, living northeast
of Linton few miles. is the proud
possessor of a fifty.cent piece that
looks better to him than the ordi-
nary run of money. 1t is prize
won by him in a "wild.animaI con-

alfalfa magazine which was sent to
many of the English-speaking far
mars of the county the first
of the year by the German.
American State Bank. That the
is being read and made

which can be gained by the people
of the county in the way of alfalfa
farming will add to the general
prosperity.
