On farm near Alto, Mass, It's report

ries. Her owner, thinking her dead, pulled
off her feathers. Biddy came to, however,
and staggered into the hen yard, where
upon every hen began picking off her own
feathers. This story may be lie, but
gosh! isn't it umanlike.-Bismarck

Attorney Gage of Olivia did one of the
best of the many good deeds in mis- life
when he showed up Mayor Van Eears
treason expressed at the Glencoe meeting.
The fact that the Mayor escaped on
mere technicality doesn't lessen the value
of Mr.. Cages attempt. There were no
immediate results but there is bound to
be an aftermath.
There is nasty, dirty brute trying to
get into your home these days. He car
ries an assorted number of disease germs
on his person-typhoid, tuberculosis, IN
fantile paralysis, cholera morbus. He will
kin your babies if you let him. His name
lis the Common Housefy and ne has killed
more people than all the bullets and gun
powder ever made If he sneaks into your
house, kill him as you would poisonous

To send an |. w. w. gang or other pub

an adequate way. If man is undeslre-

sending him to be dealt with at the next

of attending to civic duties. Beside the

Our hat is off to Phil Liesch, editor OF
the Brown County Journal and W. r.
Hodges editor of the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
It has not been an easy thing, had these
two men considered their business inter-
ests, for them to take the course OF nigh
minded, high handed Americanism during
the present state of feeling in Brown Coun-
ty. But they did not consider their own
interests but their country's interests, and
the State is proud of them. Brown Coun-
ty undoubtedly has many men OF this
class; she needs many more. However,
county can not be utterly hopeless when
it contains men like Brothers Liesch and
Hodges, Judge Olsen and Alex. Russell.
