Pine County Potato Show.

Pine County Potato Show.
We are receiving very favor
able replies from all parts of the
county from farmers particular
y interested in the potato crop.
Iney want a county potato show
some time in October and are
saving the best they can find.
The fifteen best half bushel
samples will represent the coun-
ty at the State Potato Show in
Minneapolis in November. There
promises to be very lively COM
petition to see which farmer will
be allowed to represent this
county at one of the largest po-
tato shows in the country.
These show samples should be
saved at digging time. They can
not be picked from a bin or pit.
The very incest potato is sure
to be the one that is skinned or
bruised. Walk up and down the
rows ahead Of the pickers and
you can lay aside the few best
ones. Out of your whole field
you can probably get four or
five bushels of these. Handle
and store them carefully and no.
tify the Farm Bureau Office,
then as fast as time will permit
the Agent will get to your farm
and help you resort them down
to your best half bushel. All of
the best potatoes at the County
and Community Fairs should be
saved for the potato show in
October. Do not wash, scrub or
bruise show potatoes. Let them
dry well and use a soft brush or
cloth. Store in dark cool place.
Line Fencing.
We were asked to- explain the
state laws relative to line fenc-
ing. Each party is supposed to
stand half of the expense. There
is no law stating which half of
the fence each party shall build.
If one half is more difficult to
construct. then the other party
usually builds a little more than
half of the distance to balance
up the expense. The local fence
viewers may be called to Judge
where this balance comes.
Save Seed Corn.
All corn fit for seed should be
saved right away. The men hav-
ing corn raised from home grown
seed should save every ear that
is fit for seed. Pine County
needs 1000 bushels Of seed corn
for q two years supply. Save all
that is ready. and especially
from home grown seed.
We are informed that ]. T..
Mider just west of Pine City has
so or so bushels that would make
good seed. Here is a case where
the town people or school boys
should be organized to save this
crop. This work is as important
now as planting wheat or raising
good dairy cattle.
Selecting Vegetables at Local
and County Fairs.
/. Uniformity and value for
culinary or stock purposes are
4
the two main points. Uniformi-
ty applies to form, size. color and
quality of each exhibit in a lot
or class. Small or extra large
specimens are not desired.
2. A list of the main points
for the different vegetables is as
follows:
Asparagus Uniform as stated
above. Spears should be green
and free from side branches.
String Beans-Uniform, free
from string in pods, and disease.
The fresher the better.
Dry Beans Uniform. Navy
medium to small. free from in
sect or disease injury. not brok-
en- or crushed and of good color.
Beets Uniform. 2 to A inches
in diameter, dark red, fine tex
ture, free from injuries, side

Came into view under the flash q
pair of gloves, box of matches, a silk
handkerchief, card case. The agent
said nothing, but passed card to the
chancellor, who read 1t without COM
ment.
There was silence in the car.
At last the chancellor stirred. "This
mamie took your car on?"
"Yes. And he has not returned. No
other machine has passed"
The secret service men exchanged
glances. There was more to this than
appeared. Somewhere ahead, then,
was Milky Larisch, with motor that
did not belong to him, and wearing
clothing which his victim described as
a chauffeur's coat Of leather, breeches
and puttees, and fur greatcoat over
all.
Had the snow commenced when
this happened?"
"Not then. sir. Shortly after"
"Go out with the driver" the
chancellor ordered one of his men,
"and watch the road for the tracks OF
another car. Go slowly"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1918-05-17
They Carried Him Into the Car.

So It was that, after an hour or so,
they picked up Nikky's trail, now
twenty-four hours old but still clear,
and followed 1t. The chancellor was
awake enough by this time, and bend
ing forward. When at last the trail
turned from the highway toward the
shooting box at Wedeling, Mettlich fell
back with something between a curse
and groan.
1.-THE fool!" he muttered. 1.-THE
young fool It was Madness
Al last they Grew up at al lnh in
the village on the royal preserve, and
the chancellor, looking rather gray,
alighted. He directed that the man
they had rescued be brought in. The
chancellor was not for losing him just
vet. He took a room for him at the
inn, and rather cavalierly locked him
in 1t.
The chancellor slipped hot milk and
considered. Milky karisch a prisoner
in Karls hands caused him less
anxiety than It would have. month
before. But what was behind it all?
At a little before five the man out
side the prisoners door heard some
thing inside the room. He glanced in.
All was quiet. The prisoner slept
heavily, genuine sleep. There was no
installing It, the sleep Of man warm
after long cold and exhaustion, weary
after violent effort. The agent went
out again, and locked the door behind
him.
And as the door closed, trap door
from the kitchen below opened softly
under the sleeping mans bed. With
great caution came the landlord, head
first, then shoulders. The space was
cramped. He crawled up, like snake
out of hole, and ducked behind the
curtains Of the bed. All was still quiet,
save that the man outside struck a
match and lighted pipe.
Half an hour later, the chancellor'S
prisoner, still stiff and weak, was max,
ing his way toward the hunting lodge.
Kaiser saw him first, and found tho
story manufacturing. Nor could Karl,
reused by terrified valet, make much
more of it. When the man had gone,
Karl lay back among his pillows and
eyed his agent. .
!! $50 Mettlich is here" he said. "a
hasty journey. They must be eager:
"They must be in trouble" Kaiser
observed dryly. And on that uncom-
plimentary comment King Karl slept,
his face drawn into weary smile.
But he received the chancellor OF
Livonia cordially the next morning, go!
ing himself to the lodge doorstep to
meet his visitor, and there shaking
hands with him. :
II am greatly honored, excellency, .
he said, with his twisted smile. I
"And I, SIRE"
But the chancellor watched him
from under his shaggy brows. Tho
messenger had escaped. BY now Karl
knew the story, knew Of his midnight
ride over the mountains, and the haste
1t indicated.
