dance and general good time. A num-
Der of ladies were present and after the

Some thirty-five harvest hands who
had been working in this locality de-
parted the latter part of last week for
Canada where it is claimed there is a
great shortage of labor and. harvest
operations will be in progress until
Christmas. Wages are also said to be
very high across the boundary and will
no doubt entice many laborers into
Canada for the golden harvest. Several
machines were left short handed as a
result of the sudden exodus.
Nine ears of grain were shipped out
from this phase Wednesday morning and
other shipments are going out almost
daily The present high price of grain
is tempting many of the farmers to sell
as fast as they can deliver the grain to
market and this is shipped as rapidly as
1T comes in. The competition between
the two lines is resulting in quite a few
cars being supplied to prairie points and
as result the crop will be shipped out
much faster from localities where only
one road is operating.
The young son of Robert Greer, of
the Winona section, came into contact
with the end of ball bat while play-
ing at school the first of the week and
narrowy escaped losing an eve. The
bat struck the lad squarely over the
left eye and broke the surrounding
skin and lids away in such shape as to
lay the cavity bare. Had the bat en-
tered the cavity trifle more the eve
ball would have been bursted and the
sight destroyed. DR.. Orr was called and
dress the injury and the boy is getting
along nicely at present. 1t is not
thought any permanent injuries will re-
suit.
