i hat bunch that went to
Peavy lake last Thursday returned late in the nigfht of the
same day. Although the fish
didn't bite Well, fishing- was
good anv way. Joe caught one
which was about six inches
long- when he caught it, but
when he reached home it had
grown to the enormous proportions of a whale. In the
jungles of Peavy lake the party saw a lone wild cat prowling about. It is possible that
this is the one that so mysteriously disappeared from the
clerk of court's office recently.

CUT THE WEEDS
All along- the main and side
streets of Pierz and in the
vards in front of the residences there are all kinds of
noxious weeds growing in
rank prolusion. In other respects the people seem to take
pride in beautifying the village and residt rices. Why alow those unsightly weeds to
grow unmolested? They are
injurious to health,- a nui-
s.uce to pedestriins, especially in rainv weather and certainly mar the appearance of
the '.own to a great extent.
The village couoc.il should see
to it that these weeds ai e destroyed before they go to seed.

ANOTHER GAME
WARDEN
Little Falls Transcript.-
A number of sportsmen of
this city have raised a fund
and engaged the services of
Henry Peterson to help them
in their earnest efforts to enforce the liw against illegal
shooting-.
The chicken crop is said to
be good this year, and if all
shi oting before l he opening of
the season, Sep. 7, could be
stopped, good sport for all
would be assured. While the
sportsmen have no reason to
doubt tnat Mr. Hart, the dep-
utv game warden appointed by
the state game and fish commission, is doing all he can,
still they feel thar, as the territory to be protected is very
large, that another man in the
field will do a lot of good, particularly as it is rumored that
young prairie chickens and
mallard ducks have been offered for sale in the citv off
and on for the past two weeks.
Mr. Peterson has a horse
and buggy of his own and he
will be pleased to g-et the suggestions of anyone interested
in the protection of the game.
In fact he asks anyone that
hears of illeg-al shooting to advice him and he will immedi
ately drive out and follow the
clue.
Music   Less ans.

A Plain Talk
I am dealing in hardware exclusively. I have placed my prices as
low as possible and still make a living profit and I have tried to render
the best possible service to my patrons. I believe that better service
can be rendered where the merchant confines his business to a single line of merchandise than where
he tries to handle everything from
a toothpick to a threshing machine.
Do you want an exclusive hardware store in Pierz? If so, give
me your patronage in my line.
