John Biering.-I believe that we can
do away with much of the loss Incl.
dent to unfavorable weather in the
harvest and threshing season II we
will but stack our grain. The thing
to do is to stack our grain and thresh
it in the winter. Then we will not
be at the mercy of the elements or
be forced to wait for a threshing
crew or workmen to help in threshing.
Ed. A. Howe.-A popular dog lately

tually nothing but idealized ours. Ev-

the Airedale. We Americans are a
good mixture: we have in our veins

You call him a poor farmer, shiftless,

to be the chief ambition OF men and
nations from this time forward. In
saying this do not plead against an
adequate navy and army-for within
reasonable limitations such agencies
are guarantees OF peace and deserve
the support of all right thinking men.

determined manner. Let us have 1t
