FATHER AND SON ARE
MAKING A FINE FARM

Jim Carter and son, Theron, live on
their S0-acre farm four miles north
west of Ladysmith. They started in
there on a wild piece of land nine years
ago Now they have good, comfort
able set of buildings, 10 acres under
the pillow, and lot more brushed off
and seeded.
Theron started breaking the 512-
acre meadow on the southeast corner
Of the farm and was doing a good job
the first Of the week. He stated that
J. Lee Stewart had supervised the
blasting of a ditch 40 rods long that
gives this meadow a good drainage.
The draining and blowing of this piece
of land is a valuable Improvement to
their farm.
Mr.. Carter, ST., is doing carpenter
work this season at ThOrnapple dam
and the son has full charge of the farm
and is doing the work as it should be
done. It's great thing Tor a young
man when he stays OH the home farm
and learns the oldest business on earth

FOREST FIRES
NOT ALL BAD
Many Settlers Welcome Them
and by Working With.
Them Do Much
Good

Our exchanges are full of accounts
Of fire damages done around this part
of the state last week.
Some settlers were burned out and
the loss of buildings and equipment is
felt deeply by a new settler, or any
other settler for that matter. These
men have surely suffered a loss.
While the rest are telling@all Of the
bad things the fire has done-and there
is no doubt their statements are
right, and a fire across a mans farm
where wood is getting scarce shout,
be avOided--yet there are vast areas OF
our land that no settler could prosper
on because of the heavy growth OF rot
ten logs, Stumps, trash and brush and
now the fire has done more toward
Getting these waste places i'll shape to
receive grass seed, and grow grass than
any number of men possible to get
could have done in a long time.
The fire Friday north of the Big
Seven Live Stock Ranch was raging at
noon and threatened the whole country
of new settlers on the east and il the
wind had shifted it would have endan-
gered III. NJ. Beckett and the Big
Seven The only thing to do was to
beat it. and to back fire. SO we start
ed to back fire on ours Friday noon.
Mr.. Beckett waited until Saturday
when he started to fire as the fire from
the north was coming in on him. He
| succeeded in saving his buildings which
! he would probably not have done If the
! fire had spread and came in from the
west of him. or if the wind had shift
/ ed to the north. His eighty is now
: burned black and the gain to him car
lie counted as close to $500, or $40 pei
acre. He could not have hired as much
done for that amount.
There were about 200 acres burned
black on the Big Seven Live Stock
Ranch and we value our gain at $1,000
on the same basis. There is nothing
that will make a farm here quicker
! than good fires, but the man who sets
! a fire should be mighty careful that he
will not burn his neighbors' home Oh
! hay. or let his fire run over any mans
! land who does not want it there.
The talk about fires running the lanC
/ does not apply in the section OF country
where our land is located. Three years
ago last spring we started our first
! fires as we. were the only settlers there
at the time We have burned at every
opportunity since when sure our fires
would do no other man any damage
and they never have. The result is
that the 600-acre pasture is no longer
/ a bunch of wild land but a big portion
| Of it is IA solid mat of clover and il
grows best where the fires were the
hottest.
We are going to clear this whole
| 600 acres with fires. grass and live
stock. except. perhaps, to cut out the
largest brush that will not burn, anc
we challenge any man to clear his lano
by any other method and beat the yield
Of our clover crops.

IOWA FARMERS WILL
BURN THEIR CORN

With coal at $40 per ton and corn at
55 cents per bushel many farmers in
the corn belt are planning on burning
corn this winter as it figures out at
about S15.75 per ton. Corn has about
the same heat units per pound as coal,
but is harder on stoves than dry tam
arack wood.
With these prices the corn belt farm
ers will net big loss on their grain
growing operations this year.

CLEANING OF CITY
WAS VERY THOROUGH
City Cart Drivers Still Called On
By the Enthusiastic
Workers

The cleanup work in the city has
been finished, but the task was not
completed within the allotted time,
more than a week being required,
since some OF the residents after get
ting started, extended the work to
such an extent that the city carts
were called upon this week to remove
refuse
Drivers of the carts have had q
workout, and report the cleaning pro-
cess this year represents more than
double the work Of any previous year.
City Street Commissioner James H.
Altman is of the opinion that there
will not be another such cleaning
necessary for years since he has kept
track of refuse carried from homes,
lots and buildings. Mayor Evans is
greatly pleased over the result and
believes the city is in better condi-
ton than for some time from a SAM
tary standpoint. Rubbish has been
cleared from vacant lots both IN and
near the city, and there will be gar
dens this year where there were
weeds last year.
The thoroughncss of the work can
not be questioned. ~ did not believe
that the people generally would re-
spond SO literally and readily, com
mcnded the Mayor, in discussing the
situation" but it will be much better
for general health and the benefits
will be seen in the health records
alone, according to my opinion. Nov
if we could have some nice weather
and set the street work finished
Richmond would be ready to receive
visitors without excuses, still, the
Improvement work indicates that We
are progressive"

HAPPY WOMAN
REALIZES HER
MISTAKE NOW
81 Would Be About $10o Better
Off If I'd Have Taken Trutona

Statement

Louisville, Ky, May 1O-"I
realize now that I'd be about one
hundred dollars better off if I'd

trying the numerous medicines I
did without getting results" Mrs.

third Street, Louisville, told the
Trutona representative recently.
81 had Indigestion, "Mrs.
Brown said in describing her
troubles" 1t seemed there was
nothing I could eat that would
agree with me. The Indigestion
caused me to be annoyed with
dizziness. If I would stoop over
| felt like I was going to fall and
if I walked up stairs I'd be an
noyed by black spots forming be
fore my eyes
SO many people spoke highly
of Trutona in the papers that |
decided to try it. Many of them
had suffered from troubles like
mine, too. I had tried medicine
after medicine without results
and had gotten fairly Disguised,
I'll tell you. But Trutona has
entirely relieved all of my
troubles and | can truthfully say
now, that l feel better than l
have for years.
Mrs. Browns statement should
prove OF the deepest interest to
every one who is suffering from
stomach, liver and bowel troubles
That Trutona completely relieved
her troubles after other medi-
cines failed, has been definitely
stated and if Trutona will do that
for one personals a matter OF
fact, the Perfect Tonic has done
it for thousands-it will certainly
do the same for you.
Trutona is sold in Richmond at
