E. A. Harthouse remarked that
poultry and eggs pay, as he brot in 10
dozen eggs Tuesday. He says his
hens are turning out on an average
of 16 dozen weekly and at 40c per doz-
en- that is good profit on bunch of
hens.
Leo Olson, manager of the Olson
Werner Grain Co., while cranking his
car Tuesday, had the misfortune to
have the crank fly back by back-firing
and break the larger bone of the low
err arm at the wrist. Leo's injury is
mighty painful, and to add insult to
injury, his accident policy had lapsed
but few days prior to the accident.
Miss Bee PiXley, of Carpio, arrived
in town Tuesday, where in the evening
she conducted in the instruction of the
dancing club which she organized here
last week. The dancing club is prov

he received top Of the market prices
for the car of hogs which he shipped
to So. St. Paul week before last and
what is matter of more than passing

but 10 pounds. Mr.. Eckmeier sold the
car to the Farmers Equity people in
St. Paul.
Messrs. Henry Olson and Albert

ness trip to the Twin Cities Wednes-
day. Einar says he contemplated in
GLIDING Chicago in his itinerary but
concluded not to do so on account of
the blizzard which held Wisconsin and

severity of the eastern winters may
sound strange to eastern subscribers
but the fact remains.
