; All of our readers who are interest
ed in Black Angus cattle should be
interested in the announcement that
Francis e. Bleakly, of Ida county, will
sell seventeen registered Aberdeen
Angus cattle that are just about as
good bunch of black beauties as you
would care to see, and the kind that
make fundation as solid as Gibral-
ter. In the lot are six cows, four heif.
ers, six calves-two bulls and four
heifers-and a three year old bull that
was first prize calf at the spring bull
sale in Sioux City in 1916. There will
also be sold a few high grade cattle,
S head of horses and II high grade
Duroc swine. Those needing anything
in the line Of farm machinery would
find it profitable to attend this sale,
! for an extra good assortment Of near
| ly new machinery will be sold. The
sale will take place on the G.. Bleakly
farm, 10 miles east of Ida Grove, on
Thursday, December 5th l. L. Eells
will cry the sale.
Doctors appreciate good roads. A.
H. Jastram, secretary of the Plymouth
County Medical society, has asked the
newspapers of that county to make an
appeal to the road draggers and to
those who attend to the approaches to
bridges, to keep the roads in as good
a condition as possible. The members
of the Plymouth County Medical s0ci-
ETY. are doing their utmost to stamp
out disease in the community and the
men who care for the roads can help
very greatly by keeping the roads in
good shape, so that we can make our
calls speedily, says DR.. Jastram. Much
valuable time is consumed by travel
ing over bad roads, and from a medi-
cal, as we'll as from every other stand,
point, it is to the public interest that
this matter should receive prompt at
tention. @
Now don't think because you have
not heard from J.. S. Quist, your coun-
ty agent, that he is asleep at the
switch and not attending to his work.

several weeks, but understand he
will soon be back on the job. In the

their crop. Five cents per pound was
paid for popcorn last week. While Mr..
Lindgren had good yield of pop
corn his field corn also turned out
well. His yield from forty-two acres
was an average of fifty bushels to the
acre. There are others in that vicin-

bushels to the acre and some have
even better than that.
