Threshing from the shock will be-
gin in this vicinity about Monday,
grain men said today. Two machines
started yesterday in the south part
of the county, but found the grain
too wet. Not a great part of the
grain in this vicinity Will be threshed
from the shock, so the %threshing will
not be rushed, and ii is only in the
near vicinity of the elevators that it
is hauled directly from the machine
to market ordinarily. The high
prices obtaining this season may i'm
a measure change this custom some
what, but that is said to be the rule.
For some days past green corn has
been on the market in green %grocers'
shops, and many have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity. Little is
thought of this luxury when it is
transported from SUMMER climes. but
it is the local supply of corn and
melons which makes the gormand
and the epicure to make haste home
ward at dinner time. The dry. warm
breeze of green corn time has set
landward from u shores for some
days. II vas not recognized as such
al the time. but now citizens of Mad
ison come forward with the murder
melting information that u had
green for dinner" and then the rea-
son for the fragrant wind is Tecog-
nized.
A woman from southeastern Ne
braska, with three young children.
returning Sunday night from Pierre.
where she had driven her automobile
to see her brother who is in the army
there, and who was accompanying
her on her return trip as far as ON
aha, met with an accident some miles
northwest of Madison. They were
driving rapidly when they saw a turn
close at hand. and unable to slacken
speed much, they took the turn rap
idly. The machine skidded and over-
turned. The top was raised. protect
ing the occupants from injury-no-
body was hurt, and the only injury
inflicted to the machine was a torn
top and broken windshield. There is
only one make of machine with which
this would be possible.
The cement mixer for the base on
Second street NE had to quit this
forenoon, due to the scarcity of gray
ell. which in turn was due to the
scarcity of water at the washing
plant. The creek ran dry, or so near
ly dry, hat there could not be suffi-
cient water for washing, and mud
only was to be gotten. A hole in the
bottom of the gravel pit was deepen
ed, and that furnished a limited sup
ply for a time, but that, too, was
found insufficient. An attempt was
made TO assist the pit supply by us
ing city water, but that helped only
partly. The situation is becomine
acute. and something must soon be
done Il make a constant, sufficient
and good supply of gravel and sand
for that voratious machine, or We
will do without paving.
