"A majority of the farmers of Craw-
ford county ignored the daylight saw
ing hours of last season, as their work
did not fit well with the plan, but they
will have the same law to contend with
again this season. A bill was intro.
duced changing the law, but congress
failed to take any action on the bill,
therefore the law remains as last
year. The change to new time will
take place some time this month. OF
course laborers, store and Office folks,
who have regular fixed hours, generally
like the plan, because it gives them
good long daylight evenings, but the.
busy farmer hasn't time during the
season to pay much attention to hours,
only when he wishes to catch train,
or make some appointment in town
where the official time is observed.

Did you ever stop to think, Mr.. City
or Town Man, how much you might
help your farmer friend, by showing
the glad hand, just about this season
of the year, or perhaps little earlier?
Your farmer friend contemplates a
sale, perhaps he is going to hold pure
bred stock sale in town, and has to
bring his stock to the pavilion. The
roads are bad, the weather disagree
able, and there are all manners of
contention. Did you ever stop to think
how much help you might be to him?
\ The business men and citizens of
Role. in Pocahontas county, showed
the right spirit the other day. One of
the breeders of pure bred stock was.
to hold sale in that little city and
every business man there turned right
In and helped boost the sale Parties
came from a distance, and were enter
tanned free at the private homes
Throughout the city. And that, fellows
sale was a big success, one sow sell
ing for an even 100000. There were
so head sold, at an average of $271.
AT Marathon the entertainment was of
the real booster spirit, and the entire
school turned out and occupied one
corner Of the pavilion, and the school
wells intermingled with school
songs, made half hour Of real sport,
and served to stimulate the bidding.
AT this sale the seller realized an av-.
erage on Ills hogs of 100000.
Herman Klinker. northwest Of town,
was in the city Thursday and drove
home q new Dodge Brothers truck,
purchased from the Denison Auto Co.
The truck was of one and one-half ton
capacity, and will be used as an all
around conveyance on the farm.
ssChickens is Chickens" these days,
and the common barnyard fowl is COM
ing into her own. AT many of the pub
lie sales held during the season just
closing chickens have brought prices
that would have made the chicken of
q few years ago turn green with envy.
or course the pure bred predominates
nowadays, and prices are paid accord
ingly. Up near Lohrville, at a farm
sale, two dozen chickens sold for $50;
at Ackley a dozen sold for $50; at
Lake City $25.25 was paid for dozen;
and at Rockwell City five cockerels
sold for $525 apiece. At Lohrville one
breeder is getting $1.00 apiece for
eggs, and is selling all he can get his
hands on.
-
Sam christensen, at one time, and
quite recently, a prosperous farmer of
near Denison, but who is now rated as
q retired farmer living in town, just
purchased Light Six Studebaker OF
the Denison Auto Co., and expects to
get some enjoyment for himself and
family during the coming season. It's
Just these fellows who have made
their "wad" on the farm and came to
town who can afford to have pleasure
cars, and we don't blame them a bit.
Wed have had one too, If we had been
q farmer.
This fad business about boys form
ing ''Pig Clubs" and raising pigs is
not proving such a "fad" as was at
first contemplated by the faddist. Rath
er the venture is proving a great
source OF revenue, and putting the fad
dist in the rear. You remember when
some one suggested a few years ago
