Potatoes have been coming into the
local market at lively clip the past
week. Several cars have been shipped
already. The yield is good but consid-
erably below last years bumper crop.
The Standard Oil Co. sent a force of
men here last Friday to start work on
the oil station to be erected here. The

NJ. Speas, two progressive Iowa farm

latter the Gus HawkinsOn farm south

also closed a deal for the sale of his
farm near Galley Lake last week.
Harold Vesta, of Crystal, met with
serious accident near Beebe's on the
Iadysmith road about 6 o'clock last
Friday evening. He was bound for
Ladysmith on his motorcycle and met
an auto at that point. He was on the
left side of the road and evidently mis-
gagged his distance from the auto,
keeping that side Of the road until the
party in the auto swerved his machine
to the opposite side of the road to avoid
collision. Mr. Vesta evidently turned
his motorcycle to the right side OF the
road at the same time. striking the auto
squarely on the side of the rear fender.
He was hurled from his machine
violently, sustaining broken leg and
collar bone and several bad cuts and
bruises about the face. DR.. Johnson
was called. and on learning the nature
of his injuries. requisitioned Clark
Beebe's truck and hurried the unfortun-
ate sufferer over to the Ladysmith hos
pital at once. His injuries are serious
and will confine him to the hospital for
some time Mr. Vesta has been en-
ployed at the Crystal cheese factory for
several weeks past.

Of the display at the floral hall at the
Weyerhaeuser farmers festival held
there Saturday. Corn exhibited was
sound enough for seed. The Wisconsin
No. %. Wisconsin No. 81, and Wiscon-
sin No. s were shown along with yarie-
ties of popcorn and sweet-corn. The
squash shown were very fine. The APP
pie display was very good. The canned
goods, which the ladies of the town and
country brought in. looked very tempt
ing. The ladies served fine dinner in
the church.
Competition among the merchants of
the community keeps them from getting
rich, said Judge Maloncy in his speech
at Weyerhaeuser Saturday. The local
merchant pays high tax he helps the
church, schools, roads. and charities OF
the towns in which he lives. Besides,
you have the advantage OF seeing the
goods YOU buy when dealing with him,
