Parade Was Long — Fireworks
Nine in Evening Were a
Brilliant Display
A light rain in the earlv
morning, intermittent showers
from nine until eleven and a
cloud}' sky all forenoon detracted somewhat from the
full measure of success anticipated for this year's fourth
of July celebration. But the
village was more crowded
than could reasonably be expected in the face of unfavorable weather conditions, to
say nothing of the semi-dubious outlook for grain and other sources from which depleted pocket books mu»t
be replenished. The program was carried out in every
detail—a parade, headed by
the fire company, followed by
1he band and about fifteen
floats, auto's, clowns, etc.

The  game   of   baseball   at
three    o'clock   was   won    by
Pierz.
The fireworks at nine o-'
clock in the evening far excelled anything in that line
ever seen here.
Judging from expressions
of approval and satisfaction
heard on every side the Fourth
of July celebration of 1911
will go down in the frisfory of
Pierz as the best ever held to
date. It is possible that posterity will speak of it as "the
foWth when we had the long
parade."
;o let it be; it is good  thai

May Have an Ice Famine
Saloonkeepers, butchers and
confectioners have fears that
this unusually hot weather will
have a vanishing effect on tbe
ice supply and that ere the
summer is over we may have to
do without the congealed liquid
from Pish lake. Lack of ice in
the butcher shop and confectionery stores has no terrors for us,
but the thought of being compelled to go to Little Falls,
Buckman or Royalton for a
cool drink of beer is enougli to
drive a man to desperation.
Verily, the way of the transgressor is hard.
How is This For a Garden?
Jacob Hermann reports that
he was working as gfardener for
the Itasca Lumber Co. in Deer
River, Minn., last spring-. He
set out 15,000 cabbage plants,
planted three acres with onions
and five acres of carrots and
beets.
LARGE DELEGATION

Beware   of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy
the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system
when entering it thru the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten fold to the g-ood
you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, O., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying- Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get
the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, O-
hio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.
Sold   by   Drug-gists.     Price,

Christ Keller, who went to
Morris early in the springy returned Saturday to spend the
fourth at home. Christ says
that crops around Morris are
good, but reports that there is
rust in the grain along- river
bottom lands. A neighbor to
his employer, returned a few
days ago from Bellingham,
where, he reports, grain is so
scorched he thought it would
burn by the touch of a match.
Anton Wagner, William Kin-
gen, Cecelia Valentine, Theres-
ia Schmidtbauer and Maggie
Hoehmer, all working at or
near Morris, returned with
Christ to spend the fourth in
Pierz, where they were certain
to get their money's worth all
day.

Herman Terhaar of Agram
says crop yields will depend
entirely on the weather and
rainfall between now and August the first He would not be
so sure of a crop of corn without abundent moisture.
Louis Steinkugler predicts
about a two thirds crop. Corn,
which was not thinned out
too much by the cut worm, will
be a bumper.

neighborhood looks better than
the grain near the village.

Lorenz Brummer returned
Saturday from a trip thru
South and North Dakota. He
reports the crop outlook in
South Dakota is very poor,
and thinks that many fields
he passtd will not average
more than three bushels per
acre.
North Dakota, he thinks,
will have a bumper crop; but
wages are low. He says good
men are working around Cas-
selton and Devils Lake for 65c
a dav. Let this serve as a
warning to those who expect
to go and make a stake in the
harvest fields. Lorenz was
laid up six weeks in Scranton,
S. Dak., with lung fever. He
intends to stay here.

A Very Good Move
As a result of'a conference
between State Forester Cox
and H. A. Rider, executive
agent of the State game and
fish commission, a plan was
devised by which all game wardens will act as forest rangers,
without additional pay, except
that their expenses will be
paid. All forest rangers and
patrolmen will likewise act as
game wardens in conjunction
with their legular work.   This
us
protection against
forest fires as well as against
the depredations of poachers.
Clipping follows:
"By this combination of
wardens, rangers and highway
superintendents the violations
of game and fire laws will be
reduced to a m nimum, and
the added expense will be a
small item, in the opinion of
both Mr. Cox and Mr. Rider.
It will give the state an active
field force of at least 100 men,
who will co-operate along all
lines, and as the number of
forest rangers and patrolmen
is increased to the limit proposed by'the state forester
there will be almost 200 men
looking after the interests of
the state's natural resources
at all times."
Harness Shop For Sale.
Ill health compels me to sell
my harness business. It is a
well paying business, which I
started 18 j^ears ago. I have
been suffering during the last
fewT years and had my right leg
taken off last year and am now
unable to attend to the business
properly. I will sell my whole
stock, sewing machines, tools
etc , at a very reasonable price
and favorable terms. For particulars inquire at my shop or
home in Pierz.

Advice for Pierz People
People in Pierz who have
constipation, sour stomach or
gas on the stomach, should use
simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Ad-
ler-ika, the new German, appendicitis remedy- A SINGLE
DOSE brings relief almost INSTANTLY because this simple
mixture antisepticizes the digestive organs and drains off
the impurities. E. L. Kaliher,
Druggist.
Another Spanish Swindle
Joseph P. Meyer a few days
ago received a letter from Spain
written by the same man who
wrote to Adam Turk early in
the spring. It seems that he
has not yet succeeded in finding
a gentleman of exuberant benevolence, for he is still in prison and the mysterious trunk
containing such fabulous
wealth, so far remains intact.
In that land beyond the Pyrenees, Pierz may still be known
as Rich Prairie, or it may have
