THE KNAPP REALTY
BLDG. AT JOLIET.

The Sheaf has received a copy of
the Joliet, Ill. Evening Herald-News
containing a full page advertisement
Of the Pioneer Land & Loan Co., of
which concern w. A. Knapp is the
president. The ad contains a cut and
description of the Knapp Realty
Building at Joliet, a large, handsome,
brick structure, in which
the land company occupies suite of
four rooms in the second story.
Several cuts Of Marshall county,
MINI: farms and buildings are in
corporated in the ad together with
some excellent descriptive matter.
Mr.. Knapp went to Joliet from War
ren about twelve years ago to open
and conduct the office of the Pioneer
Land & Loan Company, the principal
business Of which is selling Marshall
county land. By industry, ability
and fair dealing he has succeeded in
building up an extensive business.
Mr.. Knapp is one of the best and
most genial Of men and he richly
deserves the success that he has
achieved. One reason for his success
is that he has always had unbounded
faith in the capabilities Of Marshall
county soil, a soil which never dis
appoints those who use it rightly.

Dies From the Disease Last
Week. Health Ordinances
Must Be Recognized.

Glenora Krostue, the 14-year-old
daughter of Mrs. G. Krostue, Of
Fisher, died from infantile paralysis,
after an illness lasting since the
previous Friday. The little Fisher
girl is the first victim to be claimed
by the disease in the northwest.
On Friday she became seriously
i'll, but not until Tuesday did it be-
come known that her affliction was
infantile paralysis. The alarm was
spread broadcast, and Che entire
village of Fisher was placed under
quarantine. Children were not per-
mitted to play in the streets or al
leys and every precaution was taken
to prevent spread. 1
Until Thursday morning, hopes
were entertained for the Krostue
girls recovery, but bad sinking
spell followed a restless night and
at 2:10 o'clock in the afternoon
death relieved her sufferings.
Funeral services were held Friday
morning at 10 o'clock over the re-
mains. The services were attended
by members of the family only and
irterme1t was made in the Fisher
cemetery. s
Local officials, headed by the city
board Of health, are carrying out a
cleanup campaign in order to re-
move every source where disease
might be contracted. Residents Of
the city have been urged to make a
special effort to clean up yards and
alleys and to have all garbage cans
removed regularly.
Any violation Of the city health
ordinances will be prosecuted, claim
officials, as every effort must be
made to prevent an invasion of
contagious maladies.

CYCLONIC STORM
PASSES THRU COUNTY
Gust A. Johnson, of Alma, is Injured
When New Barn is Wrecked.

A storm of cyclonic nature pass
ed over Alma and some other towns
of the county on Wednesday evening
last week. A new barn that had
just been completed on the farm of
Gust A. Johnson, Of Alma, was suck
ed up by the storm and completely
demolished. Mr.. johnson and some
other men were in the barn and
locked out thru the door when he
noticed the approach Of a dark
threatening whirlwind that sucked up
loose dirt and everything else in it's
path. He called to the men to get
out Of the barn, and they had no
sooner done so than it was struck
and lifted high in the air, grazing
the top of a u grove that stood be-
tween it and the living house, mar
rowly missing the latter. The body
of the barn was torn in a thousand
splinters. Mr.. Johnson was struck
in the back by flying board and
badly bruised. One side of his body
became paralyzed and it was feared
that his spine had been injured. The
doctor was called from Warren to
render aid, but later developments
proved that the injury was not ser
ious, Mr.. ] ohnson regaining full con-
troll of his body next day.
The storm played many freakish
capers sabout the place. Two small
. p fyss were lied hut o1ff'
horses that stood in the barn that
was demolished, and soE1e other
horses in another building, were not
ha7nl.d at all.
Gust A. Johnson is Z son Of Mr.
rrd Mrs Charley Johnson. who live
rea the Swedish church ir this city.
Next day the parents drove out to
give their son needed assistance, and
have paid for bill of lumber for a
new barn to be erected in place IF
the one destroyed.
Reports from other localities say
the storm was quite severe, many
haystacks and small out buildings
being toppled over in its path. Al !.

pass, the car slowed and turned a
complete somersault. The condition
of the machine indicated that it had
rolled entirely over as the botteal
was badly damaged, the top crushed
in, windshield smashed apd the
tenders and running board we:e
wrenched and torn.
According to the information re-
ceived by Coroner Nelson, the acci-
dent occurred when an attempt was
made to pass a horse drawn vehicle
going in the opposite direction. The
car ran too far onto the side of the
road and in the effort to regain the
grade too sharp a turn was made
and the machine tipped over, throw
ing the occupants out.

SIUNG BY GROCERY
PEDDLER ON MOTOR.
Polk County People Find Cut Price
Bargains Are Put on 'Back
Order" List By Chicago
House,

People Of this vicinity are warned
to pass up the tempting bait offered
by g grocery peddler, mounted on a
motorcycle, who made a canvas in
Polk county recently. Many sales
We're made where bargains in
groceries, so alluring that most
people were tempted and fell, were
offered. Sugar, for example, was
offered for two and a half to three:
dollars less than home merchants
would sell it. Other staples were
offered at similar low prices and the
buyer had at last found a way to
cut the high cost of living. But
other goods were ordered at the
same time, goods that were not
such bargains, but orders were given
because the agent was good fellow,
and< sold sugar cheap. Then when
the shipment arrived there was no
sugar and there were none of the
other great bargains in the lot, but
the regular priced goods were there
also a nice letter telling that the
wholesale house was out of sugar
and other bargains and they would
/ be8shipped as soon as possible"
Thus again those who patronized
the stranger are. stung, for, OF
course, the sugar will never arrive
nor with it the other bargains, anc
the purchaser has paid a higher
price in cash than he would have
paid ION time with the local merchant
It's Ia pretty safe bet to play fail
with the home merchant. He's
always here where you can get al
him if he misrepresents.
