The Family "Growler"
Untouched by War

Those who like a glass Of cool
beer on the way home after a DAYS
work do not have to wOrry. for the
time being at least. for in the
opinion Of many local retail liquor
dealers the price Of beer Is not
going up and there will be no re-
duction in the size Of the glass.
The "groWler" will also contain a
fun pint at the old price.
The reason advanced by the liquor
dealers as 10 why they do not
propose 10 emulate the example set
by liquor men in other sections
of the country is that the District
will be dry" in November. so that
for a mere matter Of a few months

THE HOG.

The hog that we refer to is
two-legged specimen. He came
to this country penniless few
years ago, and has done well
here. In fact, all he has he owes
to America. If he had remained
in the country which he came
from he would be lucky to have
another suit of clothes. But in
spite of the fact that he has
prospered here, even beyond his
old world dreams, he now gives
nothing Of love and loyalty to
his adopted country in her hour
of peril. He does a lot of grunt-
ing, and is eager for his swill,
but is unwilling to give anything
to the country that welcomed
him and gave him the opportun-
ity to make good. We have
few of those fellows. But they
are marked men, and will be os-
tracised. No decent, self-respect-
ing person will associate with
them. Winnebago Enterprise. =

IT'S A FACT.

Good liars are scarce, but some
liars are very skilful.
Don't think it is misfortune
to tumble to your faults.
Taking things philosophically
is the only justifiable klepto-
mania.
Politicians like to have lots of
people know them but not too
well.
College men never graduate
in a hurry-they do it by de-
grees.
Every man ought to be doing
something more than making a
living.
Not every man who has sense
enough to mind his own busi-
ness is willing to let it go at that.
When you pick up a pretty.
girls handkerchief it is permis-
sable to wonder how she came
to drop it.
Though a man expresses his
willingness to obey woman's
slightest wish he usually draws
the line at the large wishes.

THIS IS THE TIME TO GET
SEED BEANS.

Because many farmers and
gardeners in Minnesota lost mon
ey, time and labor on their beans
through planting the wrong kind
of seed this year, A. G. Army,
head of the section of farm crops
at the Minnesota Experiment
station, is sending out word that
this is the time to get supplies
of navy bean seed for next
springs planting.
Last spring, says Mr.. Army,
navy bean seed was scarce and
high in price. Consequently any
sort of beans was planted. As
a result numerous reports, ac-
companied by samples of beans,
have been received, with inquiry
as to why the beans did not
make a crop. In many instan-
ces, seed grown in California or
some other western state was
planted. The crop from sucN
seed could not mature because
the season is too short in Min
nesota. In other cases Burma
lima beans were planted, quanti-
ties of such beans having been
shipped in from India. These
beans are wholly unsuited to
northwestern conditions.
Mr.. Arny's advice is to look
about now and obtain enough
seed for next year, giving pref
erence to beans from fields that
produced good mature beans by
September 10. Ones own neigh
borhood should be searched for
supplies, because there one may
get beans that have proved their
fitness for local conditions.
Like advice holds for corn and
for other field crops.

ESCAPED CONVICT IS
KILLED BY OFFICER
JOE CUNNINGHAM SHOT BY
MIR. HEGLAR.
Negro Made Break For Liberty
Near Halle Gold Mine Late
Monday Afternoon.

AS result of gun shot wound.
inflicted when he tried to escape from
the Lancaster county chaingang
Monday afternoon. Joe Cunningham
died in the chaingang camp near the
Halle Gold Mine last night about II
O'Clock. The dead man was n negro
and was serving a sentence of ten
years for arson. The fatal shot was
fired by Constable Heglar. a guard
on the chaingang
Details of theI killing are meagre.
but it appears that Cunningham was
a desperate character and when he
made his getaway an immediate
search was instituted, with the re-
suit that Mr.. Heglar fired when he
found tho convict. The bullet took
e1ect in tie negro's abdomen and il
az once became evident that he was
fatally wounded. An effort was
made to get him to Columbia. hoping
that medical attention there might
save his life, but before this idea
cpuld be successfully executed the
negro was dead.
Cunningham had bad record with
the police and county officials. He
had been arrested on several charges,
the last being that he had burned a
gin house, 60 bales OF cotton and a
Gin in this county. He was tried a,
court of general sessions in October
and sentenced to serve 10 years.
coroner Caskey went to the scene
this morning to hold an inquest. but
1t is understood that no blame at.
taches to the chaingang guard for
the affair.
