In one   of   the   poorest   and i this spring, the inhabitants  realizing that a cement   walk   is
most loosely played games of
the season, the local team defeated the Buckman team on
their own grounds, for the second time, last Sunday, the score
being 17 to 9. The game was
replete with hits—and errors.
The locals made 2 home-runs, 3
three baggers, 5 two baggers
and ten singles. Buckman had
1 three bagger, 3 two baggers
and 8 singles to their credit
when the smoke cleared.    As it

the long run, besides presenting
a better appearance. As an added incentive the council again
offered a 20 per cent rebate and
the following took advantage
of it:

JOURNAL WANT ADS
BRING RESULTS.
Last week Carl H. Stucke,
who owns 488 acres of land in
Granite, inserted a want ad in
the Journal lo the effect that
h*i had, about 20U ions ot hay
for sale and on last Monday
he told us that he has literally
been swamped with purchasers.
MOTOR   TOURING
The   motorists    are   doing
much to find out the   beauties
of lands that have   been   little
known to trave ers.   They are
becoming the pioneers, too, in
touring and the pictures   that
they are b; inging back   from
some of the runs   made   thru
countries,     heretofore    little
penetrated, spur the desire to
see further, and too  seek  out
new    rustic   beauties.    It   is
wonderful how much strength
and vigor a   glass   of   golden
graih belt   beer   will   give   a
fntigued body.    Every   house
should have a   case   in   their
cellars and   serve   regularly.

Herman Vonderhaar went
to Onamia and Mille Lacs yesterday afternoon for a, short
outing, lasting- about a week.
The Minnesota Experiment
station agrees with Prof. E.
K Slater that wlren a dairy
cow is utilized as a market for
Minnesota grnin, cheese factories *ind creameries will be
abundant and contribute their
frill share to the prosperity of
the farmer and wealth of Minnesota; that farmers will learn
to co operate and work together for each other's mutual advantage in creamery
building, in stock breeding, in
marketing* farm products and
iu buying farm supplies. When
stock is the farmers' grain
market, "the little brass kettle" will not affect the ;rice;
the farmer will have less stuff
to haul to market over poor
roads and he will have profitable trips to town.

Transcript.
partment for the celebrated
Wright Brothers, and a meeting
was held in Chicago. A contract of an enormous ligure was
made for an exhibit of one of
the famous brothers' machines
at the State Fair.
At that time the Wright
Brothers, who had broken many
records and who had made many demonstrations inEurope.bad
given but one exhibition in A-
merica, this one being the flight
up and down the Hudson river
at the time the time of the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New
York.
When Mr. Knabenshue was
asked what would constitute a
flight, he said, "Anything you
may desire from thirty minutes
to one hour." When asked how
the wind would interfere with
the flights, he said, "Don't worry about that."
The second week in June the
Wright Bros, gave their first
public demonstration at Indian-
apolis, Ind. With a 22 mile
wind blowing, Mr. Brookins, a
graduate from the class Mr.
OrvilleWright had been teaching
for several weeks in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala., broke
the world's record for height,
reaching an altitute in excess
of 4,300 feet.
This is the kind of aerial ex
hibitions that will be seen at
the State Fair. A competent
operator and an engine of sufficient horse power to make
long, high and sensational
flights is what the Wright Brothers will furnish.
Glen Curtiss of Hammonds-
port, N. Y., who made several
successful flights during the aviation meet, promises he will
send an eight-cylider machine
to the fair, which will assist in
making this portion of the attraction of extreme interest.
The fair aeroplanes will not
be gliders, that make a short
flight of two or three hundred
feet at a height of fifteen or
twenty feet, but the real article
you have read and heard so
much about.
Misses Minnie Faust and
Clara Spanfeller left yesterday for Minneapolisand Cross
Plains where they will visit
relatives and friends for some
time.
An other change has taken
place in the management of
the Bridgeman-Russell Co.
creamery. August Leitner of

John are now employed and
will hereafter attend tf> the
patrons of the Pierz creamery.
