A NEW LOW
FOR COB PIPES

With a corn cob pipe short
age staring this nation in the
face, theorists scramble wildly
about and finally anchor them
selves to the stately corn plant,
and with tassles protruding
from their pockets advance a
theory that may send the price
of cob pipes precipitating to a
new low.
The theory that has been CIV
en- is that an extended drouth
of several years duration would
develop a brand of corn plant
that would be immune to the
ravages of a moistureless soil.
Their point is, that the corn
roots this year have gone deep
err than they have been known
to go for some time, in an at
tempt to reach moisture. That
over a period of years of this
reaching out, the plant would
naturally grow with a long root
and thereby get to moisture and
be saved.
That the longer root is in ev-
idence this year has been check
ed with farmers, and it's true.
But on what basis the tendency
to keep growing that way is
reckoned was not explained.
Corn is a shallow root plant
with it's main root extending in
normal season on the average
of from four to six inches, but
this season there is definite in
dication that the root is longer.
What worries the good folk is
what'll grandpaw do for corn
cob pipes in the meantime?

10-Burial At Cannon
Falls, MINI.

From the Arlington, Is. d. Sun,
we learn that Mrs. A. G. Kay, a
former resident of Sank Centre,
had passed away the evening of
Wednesday, July 9Th. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kay and family came to Sank
Centre in about the year of 1900.
Mr.. Kay was manager of the Great
Northern Elevator Co. During their
residence in Sauk Centre their
children attended the public
school, and the family was we'll
known and highly respected. Mrs.
Kay moved from this city to Ar
lington nine years ago.
The Sun stated that death came
as a relief to suffering which had
lasted for a year and a half. The
family was preparing to wheel her
to the front porch when she suf-
fered cerebral hemmorhage. She
had suffered severe headache for
a short time before passing away.
Mrs. Kay was born in Canada 70
years ago, and was wed to A. c.
Kay So years ago.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist Church, in Arlington, S.
D., Friday afternoon, July 10th, at
1870 o'clock. Rev. p. w. Slocum
conducted the last sad rites, fol-
lowing which the body was taken
to Cannon Falls, Minnesota, for
burial.
The following is a sketch of the
lady's life as taken from the Sun:
Life Sketch of Mrs. Kay
Minnie Cocker Kay, was born at
Brantford, Ontario, Canada, on
February Is, 1858, she and her twin
brother being the youngest in a
family of eleven children, all of
whom have preceded her in
death.
She went to Cannon Falls, Min
nesota, in the spring of 1878, and
on September 3, 1878, married Alex
ander c. Kay. To this union four
children were born; Ella Hopkins
of Arlington, Bessie Brecount, of
Boise, Idaho, Will j., of Minneapo-
lis, and Marion Ethyl Kay, who
died at the age of three years.
In her early girlhood she united
with the Harrington church at
Brantford and after coming to the
United States she transferred her
membership to the Methodist de-
nomination, to which church she
has always remained a faithful
member and worker.
During the early years of her
married life she was an active
member and worker in the w. c. T.
U. She was also a member of the
Rebecca Lodge and the Order of
the Eastern Star.
Like all true wives and mothers
Mrs. Kay's first interest was ner
home, family and grandchildren.
Mrs. Kay's health has never
been the most rugged and for that
reason civic activities in her life
have been more or less limited
Since coming to Arlington from
Sank Centre, Minnesota, nine years
ago, advancing years and declining
health have caused her to lead 2
quiet life. In December 1884, she
suffered a fracture of the hip and
since then she has been confined
to her home where she has been ar

by her attendants and friends. For

their car suddenly went into skid
that brought the rear end around
to the right side of the road. Max
ing a complete arc the rear wheels
and the front together caught in
the sand off the edge of the oil.
The force of the stopping impact
carried the car over and dumped
them into the ditch. Turning COM

and landed on it's wheels facing to-
ward the direction from which it
had come. The car was taken into
