Careless About Appendicitis in Pierz
Many Pierz people have stomach or bowel trouble which is
is liable to turn into appendicv
tls. if you have constipation,
sour stomach, or gas on the

$150,000 For Potatoes
Elk River Star News:    The
potato    market   in  Elk   river
this year has been the best
ever experienced. There
have been from a dozen to
twentv buyers on the market
ever since it opened with orders to buv Elk River potatoes regardless of price, with
the result that over $150,000
have been pa-id out since the
middle of Julv, and the stqry
is not finished yet. It is estimated thaj* before the season closes the amount paid
out will exceed 3300,000. This
is a good deal of cash to payout in one community for one
article of produce, but by no
means states the amount our
growers will receive for their
•crops this season. Fred
Chouinard marketed the pro-
pact of seven and a half ac
for $1,300.

Many Hunters Oat Thursday
About a dozen hunting parties stai ted out of i'ierx earlv
in the morning of the first day
of the open season for prairie
1 ens. A few were grouped
as follows:
Jos. Mathay and Jac'
sen of Minneapolis, Ed
ner of Little Falls and

Peucht and Henry Hoffman;
Oliver Brunette and Dr. Luis of St. Cloud; T. S. Lock,
John Grell, J- J. Boser and
John Gross.
One party cf hunters passed
thru upper town about nine
o'clock Friday evenii g.which,
it seemed, had fabricated a
song something* on the order
of a college yell. As near as
we can remember, it ran:
"Prairie chick !    Prairie chiclis!
W"e got only eighty-six!"
To not place in jeopardy the
spotless reputation for truth-
,fulness the Journal now en
jo, s, we refrain from publishing the numbers of chickens
these hunt.rs claim to have
killed. We refu-e to tell even a second-handed lie.

And Burnt to Ground  in a Short
Time—Loss Partially Covered
by $250 Insurance
Lightning struck and set
afire Mrs. Vonderhaar's barn
during the storm at 2 o'clock
this morning. Hardly two
hiinu'es elapsed after the
barn was struck before it was
all ablaze and all the firemen
could do when- they arrived
was to protect the nearov
buildings. A cow, a hog and
about fi f t y chickens
lost their lives in the fire.The
loss is only partially covered
by $250 insurance.
Shortly after the burning
of the barn of Mrs. Vonderhaar, a fire was seen in the
northwest. From such information as could be gathered this morning-, this fire
was at or near John Tretter's
place. But what it was
caused by and what was
burnt' we cannot say.i

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one wa3* to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
itlflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will   give   One   Hundred
Dollars for any   case   of   Deaf
ness that cannot   be   cured   by
Hall's Catarrh Cure.    Send   for

Letter From Nick Sehr
Spring Lake, Can.
Sept. 3, 1911
Dear Brother:
We had a light frost the
night of the 27th of August,
but no damage was done. Yesterday, the second of September, we began harvesting*. It
takes two men to shock behind one binder. We expect
at least thirty bushels of
wheat per acre. A crew of
surveyors for a new railroad
worked thru here last week.
According to the survey the
new road will cut tea acres
off my farm. We expect
work on this road to begin
this fab. The telephone will
be put into my house tomorrow. So you see we are about
as well bless, d with modern
conveniences as you   who
a much older country.
From your brother
Nick Sehr.
