Caught Beneath Flour Pile

George Rustemeyer and Nick
Bieren came near having a seri-
GUS accident, Monday, at the mill
of the Cottonwood Milling & Ele-
vator' company, when big pile
of flour toppled over on them.
They were engaged in repiling
some of the flour and were be-
tween the piles when one fell
over, pinning them between the
piles and with a heavy weight of
sacks on them. Owing to the
noise of the running machinery
they were unable to make them
selves heard for some time and
they were beneath the pile for
perhaps ten or fifteen minutes
before their shouts attracted at
tention. <
The sacks of flour were settling
slightly all the time and when
help finally came to their assist.

Big Realty Deals Completed

Two real estate deals of consid-
cradle size were closed here the
first of the week when the E. D.
Lamb farm north of town and
the Huff farm east of town
changed hands. The former deal
was put through Tuesday by Fe-
lix Martzen and consisted of the
sale of the home place of 160
acres to Tony Baune, who recent
ly returned from Montana, at a
price of $50 an acre while Mr..
Martzen purchased 80 acres north
of the road at $65 an acre and 80
acres of timber land on the mount
ain west of the Pierce farm for
$1,000.
The second sale was negotiated
by H. H. Nuxoll and consisted of
the sale of the Huff farm of 800
acres to John Schnider for $32,-
600, or 500 an acre. Mr.. Schni-
der intends moving onto his new
place and may later sell most of
his present farm, retaining the
eighty acre tract lying south of
the creek. This will leave him
400 acres of as fine farm land as
lies on Camas prairie and tract
that will easily be worth $50, 900
in the course of a few years.
Mr.. Lamb does not have to va
cate until June but in the mean
time will look up s new location
in Montana where his son is now
residing. Mrs. Huff also intends
going to Montana and has a tract
of land in view there, the pur-
chase of which hinged on the sale
of her property here.
Both of the farms sold were
among the best in this locality
and the new owners were fortu-
nate in securing them at the
prices named. r

the temporary president and Sec
retary were made permanent of
ficers and John D. Long was
chosen as ice-president and ].
V. Nash as treasurer.
F Messrs. w. w. Brown, A. R.
Wiley and Frank McGrane were
appointed on the executive COM
mittee.
In the discussion of matters at this
meeting, stress was laid on the impor-
tance of directing the attention of every
citizen to the necessity of complying
with the requests set forth by the gov
ernor in his proclamation and by the
government of the United States in this
emergency, that all needful steps be
taken, whether the necessity for them
was apparent to the individual or not.
Prof. Curtis, of Whitebird, suggested
the advisability of offering prizes to
school children, to encourage such work
as could be done by them, not only to
secure the objects desired by the organ
ization but also to arouse interest at
the same time in an educational way.
1t was also suggested that all proper
steps be taken to insure the planting of
good seed as far as practicable, and that
this question should not be slighted. AS
the time inNwhich to act is limited, it
was urged that every possible step be
taken to plant all crops possible as well
as perfect all Organizations contempla-
ted, and that the present is the TIME
TO ACT. The secretary, with the aid
of those affording channels of commu-
nication, was directed to give every
publicity to our proceedings to the end
that the organization may fully and
completely attain the desired results.
The meeting then adjourned.
In line with the above deci-
sion was reached here this week
to call public meeting in Cot
tonwood on Wednesday, April
25th, for the purpose of organiz-
ing a local branch to affiliate with
the county organization. The
meeting will be held in the I. 0.
0. F. hall and will open promptly
at II o'clock a. m. and, after a
recess for lunch, will convene
again at l p. m. It is desired
that every farmer and business
man of this part of the county
who is interested in the move
ment be present at this meeting
to assist in the work or organiz-
ing the local association and. car
rying on the work to successful
elimination during the year.
With the backward season and
the natural shortage of grain
throughout the country due to
the small crop last season it will
be necessary to get every farmer
to plant as large an acreage as
possible this year as we'll as to
induce all to grow all the vege-
tables they can. AlApoints touch
ing the subject will be thorough
ly discussed and it is to the inter-
est of every farmer and producer
to be present. Come, and bring
your neighbors.
