A Missouri editor has statistics to
show that there are more autos made
and sold than baby carriages and
wheelbarrows combined and he says
that is a bad showing. -Jamestown

Arthur Olson has bills printed adj
vertising a public sale at the old
Cummings farm west of town OH
Tuesday, November 49, He will sell
twenty-three head of cattle, the most
of which are good milk cows, six head
of horses, farm machinery, chickens

A six hour day and five day week
may seem to the 1aboring man to be
the right thing with a sixty per cent
the Iaborer What we need is more
men and women who are willing to
work more hours and more days
each week. That is the best way to
insure increase in pay and the
surest way to advancement in pos
ition.-Ex.
1t might interest some farmer to
know that if he has insurance his
barn, and then puts an automobile
with gasoline in its tank in the barn,
the insurance on the barn is thus au-
tomatically cancelled, if the barn
burns or not; and even if the barn
burns when the auto is not in it, the
insurance cannot be collected. A re-
cent decision of the Kansas supreme
court is to that effect. Moral: Better
build a garage.-Toronto Republican.
The first touch of winter weather
this fall came Sunday and Sunday
night following a slow rain Saturday
and Saturday night. The rain and
damp weather will delay threshing
for several days again but will not
damage the stacks much according
1y the first big rain did last fall.
1t is hard luck for the farmers but if
there is no other way for him to get
the good out of his wheat he can eth
er feed it to the chickens or some live
stock. We understand cattle eat the
unthreshed wheat very readily.
1t does not make much difference
what fellow does so long as he
makes a productive effort to start
something good. Billy Sunday gets
more free first page publicity than
any other man living not excepting
the president of the United States,
and Billy Sundays news is taken
from the Bible news-he turns on the
calcium light and reveals new mean
ings in such a way that everybody is
interested and the press is willing and
glad to publish the matter.-Joe Nit
schen Chappell.
Whenever North Bros. Stock Co
of players is known no words of
praise from this source is needed to
Introduce them. The past reputation
is a guarantee that first class plays
will be put on and that they will be
put on in a first class manner. The
company played here three nights
last week and the house was filled to
overlooking each night except Satur-
day night when it was raining. IF
North Bros. were to play here very
often Wa-Keeney would certainly
need a larger opera house for many
people were turned away because
there were no seats for them.
