all she win have to do will be to
shoot him and start singing II

It may get so bad that . man
will be unable to call his wife
''my little dream girl" without
taking out a life insurance policy.
Everybody will steer clear Of
q girl who has a dreamy look in

If q girl tells you that she has

The only trouble is that If they

GRAINS ESPECIALLY ADAPTED
TO PIERCE COUNTY SOIL

Why not grow some grains adapt
ed to your soil conditions instead OF
trying something new that you know
nothing about?
Some Of the standard varieties OF
grain and corn that will do well in
this county are as follows: Wis. No.
IL or Golden Glow corn is a remark
able heavy yielder and natures in
about ITO days.
Another variety of the Golden Glow
is the Cold Resistant corn which is
especially hardy and was bred for
early planting ito Offset shorter
growing season. This variety will
stand considerable cold wet weather
in the spring.
Wisconsin No. z, or Silver King, a
white dent corn, is an especially good
silage corn and very good yielder.
1t is little bit later maturing than
the Golden Glow variety.
Wisconsin No. 8, or Early Yellow
Dent, is still earlier variety than
the Golden Glow, as it is adapted to
a shorter growing season.
MINI. No. Is corn is yellow dent
variety somewhat earlier than Golden
Glow and a very good yielder.
Wis. Pedigree No. j oats are priced
not only for heavy yielding quality
but for very stiff straw, which en-
ables it to withstand lodging. They
are adapted to heavy clay loan soils.
The kernels are white, rather long
with a medium hull.
The Pedigree No. oats, originated
from Swedish Select variety, are a
very high yielding plump, white oats.
They are adapted to lighter soils, but
will lodge on heavy soils.
Pedigree No. Z oats are sometimes
called go day oats" They are very
hardy and are especially adapted to
rich soils where lodging is likely to
occur.
The Pedigree 6 row barley is a very
vigorous growing grain with large,
well-filled heads, supported by stiff
straw of good length.
All of these different varieties OF
corn and grain have been grown in
this county and have proven success
full.
A number Of Pierce county farmers
have listed some of the above seed
with County Agent Fl. G. Seyforth for
sale. If these farmers can not sup
ply the demand, he can get seed for
you from farmers of the neighboring
counties.
LETS grow these grains that we
know something about. Don't pay a
high price for grains advertised but
not standardized" is Mr.. Seyforth's
advice.

FREAK LETTER
Dear Bill

Dear Bill
Received your letter saying you
planned to go into the political game
on your own hook. Ye gods, Bill,
don't ever use that work 'hook" to
a politician. Dread of 'the hook" is
our one bugaboo, and when you do
get into this game you'll realize what
a terror it always is.
But I'm willing to help you start
your career. The start is the main
thing; after that it is matter of
sticking onto the creased deck, and
dealing from the bottom.
Oratory is the main vehicle BY
that l don't mean the nice brand Of
oratory which wins high school hon
ors; quite the opposite. 1t isn't, III
your case, a matter of constructive
argument or clear, forceful enuncia
ton. Instead, it means clever eva
sion and force only in denunciaticn

makes no difference what you pro-
pose to represent, or what your ideals
may be, if you are going to join our
brand of politics the following lines
must appear in your every public ut
terance. Most of us have these on
a slip Of paper, and when we can
force ourselves upon any gathering
we shout phrase after phrase and
bother very little as to what we inter-
lope Herewith.
Here are few of the prize offer
ings.
After your ballyhoo men, judici-
ously scattered through the au-
dience, have led in voiciferous ap-
plause at your graceful and dignified
entrance, place your hand in Napo-
leonic manner over the dirty portion
of your shirt bosom, raise the other
hand majestically but gracefully for
silence, and proceed.
Remember, your cause is always
"the will of the people" and that you

Nothing happened during tho ssrv-
