tumbleweeds rolling across the
Rice Lake prairie, d by tiie

FIRE COMPANY FOR BUCKMAN
That little fire in the West-
holder building* in Buckman last
Saturday morning, brought the
citizens of that village to the
realization that an orgai
Fire Company is a good thing*,
if not au absolute necessity. Accordingly, a meeting* was called
Monday evening for the purpose
of discussing and perfecting a
few preliminary plans to start
the organization in tiie proper
manner.
Our   chief.   John     Dombovy,
whose long experience with   our
fire department, enables him   to
house   settled.    This left a  speak on matters   in   that
the roof was the cause. An examination of the building after
the fire was extinguished, re-
vealed the fact that the chimney
was so tightly fitted into the o-
pening through the roof, that
tiie part above the roof could not

The Danger After Grip
lies often in a run-down system. Weakness, nervousness, lack of appetite,
energy and ambition, with disordered
liver and kidneys often follow an attack of this wretched disease. The
greatest need then is Electric Bitters,
the glorious tonic, blood purifier and
regulator of stomach, liver and kidneys. Thousands have proven that
they wonderfully strengthen the nerves
and build up the system and restore
to health and good spirits after an attack of grip. If suffering, try them.

iEST YOUR SEED CORN
From fifteen to twenty ears of
corn will plant an acre. If one
of the ears planted fails to grow,
about () per cent of the stand is
lost. If two ears fail to grow,
12 per cent is lost. About fifteen minutes of time are required to test enough corn, by
the individual ear method, to
plant an acre. This method is
economical, and enables one to
weed out all poor and weak-
ears.
Some convenient method must
be used to number the ears. If
no better way suggests itself,
lay the ear on a plank with
nails driven 2. inches apart.
To keep ears separate, write

Many Pierz people who have chronic
Ne1^ of ne!/4 Section 24' aPPemUcitis> wh_«h is not very painful, have doctored for years for gaa on
the stomach, sour stomach or constipation. E. L. Kaliher states that if
these people will try simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded
in Adler-i-ka, tlie German appendicitis remedy, they will be surprised at
the QUICK benefit. A SINGLE
DOSE relieves these troubles IN-
SANTLY.
One of the most startling- changes
ever seen in any min, according to W.
B. Holselaw, Clarendon, Tex., was
effected years ago in his brothers.

writes, "that all our family thought
he was going into consumption, but he
began to use Dr. King's New Discovery, and was completely cured by ten

years our familv has used this wonderful remedy for Coughs and Colds
with excellent results" It's quick,
