they must quit.

The following article from one
of our exchanges leads US to ask
"Where were the farmers?"
Minnesota business men are
not satisfied with the way the bus
mess of the government is con
Quoted and a large delegation is
to meet with the National Chamber
of Commerce to discuss national
topics of Importance. One of the
topics to be brought up by the
Minnesota delegation is the agri-
cultural situation. AS the MAORI
ty of these men are from towns
about the sizeof Mankato and Al
bert Lea, they should understand
the problems of the farmers and
be able to act intelligently in
such a conference. !"
Married men in this city better
look to see if the back seat of their
car is empty before starting on
a joy ride with some fapper. The
experience of John Fitzsimmons,
of San Francisco, CAL, given to
others through the press as a pro-
lection against similar occurrence,
proved disastrous to him, and
muchly so. His wife saw the fam
lily car parked in front of another
home, and with friend she climb
ed into the back seat. Not long
afterward her husband with the
"other woman" appeared. They
climbed into the car not realizing
that they were not alone on this
ride in the beautiful moonlight.
There was small talk in the front
seat and absolute silense (some-
thing unheard of before) in the
back seat. The car was parked
by the bay and silence reigned
for some time. Finally voice
from the rear said: "I've heard
enough of this, John, drive US
home" Mrs. Fitzsimmons told her
story to the judge and now has the
car, but no husband.
Oscar Liebsch, resident of the
Holdingford community, who was
fatally injured recently by a fall
ing timber, died at St. Raphael's
Hospital, St. Cloud, Friday eve
ming, Sept. 8. While in the act of
tearing down a machine shed, the
walls and roof gave way and fell
on him. The fourth, fifth and six
vertebrae were broken.
Roy Brechner, who resided on
the shores of Pine Island Lake,
near Browerville, was drowned
last week Tuesday. He was alone
at the time of the accident, and
after nightfall his mother becom-
ing anxious notified neighbors and
authorities, who constituted
searching party. After securing
the woods around the lake for
sometime Wednesday morning, the
sheriff of Todd county found the
missing mans hat. Immediately he
sent word to Browerville for adj
ditional men to help search. In all
about fifty responded from both
Long Prairie and Browerville. At
ter several hours of futile efforts
several boats were put out and the
body was found about fifty feet
from shore. Brechner was about
80 years of age. He was dressed
in his everyday clothes and wore
high top boots, indicating the he
contemplated wading for some pur-
pose.
This is great corn weather and
possibly the hottest September
residents will be able to recall.
Last year on the second day of
this month most people were keep
ing themselves comfortable with a
fire in the furnace. During the past
few days we have been trying to
keep comfortable lying in the
shade. If this weather continues
for few weeks practically all
corn will mature and the feed
shortage situation will thus great
ly be minimized, and this section
OF Minnesota will produce corn
second to none.
