A circular received in this
city from the sheriff of Kalamazoo, Mich., tells of a clever forgery committed there by John
H. Kline, a man with 11 other
aliases and a trail of forgeries
throughout the country. Kline
went to a village near Kalamazoo and arranged for the purchase of a farm for $10,000. He
sent his power of attorney to a
friend, thus getting the signature and seal of a notary and
the signature of the owner of the
land as a witness. He obtained
the deed to the land to examine
the title.
Kline then went to Kalamazoo
and arranged for a loan of $3,500
on the property and the next
day hied the mortgage and a
deed to which the owner's name
and the signature and seal of the
notary was forged and departed

WILD MUSTARD
iS COMMON.
Wild mustard is most common
in fields that are devoted to
grain growing and disappears
when a rotation with grass or
cultivator is used. If scattering
plants appear in the grain, they
should be pulled by hand. If the
field is badly infested the plants
may be sprayed while in blossom
with a solution of sulphate of
iron, in the propertion of from
75 to 100 pounds of iron sulphate
to 50 gallons of water.
After the grain is harvested
the land should be worked up
with a disk or spring tooth harrow to cover the seed and induce
germination. Some of the plants
can be destroyed by late fall
plowing. Early cultivation be
fore seeding in the spring will
destroy more of them. If the
field is still badly infested the
treatment should be repeated.
Send to the Minnesota Experiment Station for Bulletin 129 if
you are interested in weed eradication.—Andrew Boss, Agrcult-
urist, University Farm St. Paul.

Say! You know Henry Paul,
the efficient manager for the
Bridgeman, Russell company?
Well here are a few lines affectionately dedicated to him by
the sporting editor:
On   Thursday  last   a   stork did fly,
Kight out of a clear, blue sky;
On Henry   Paul's   house  top it stopped,
Then down the chimney it dropped.
All inside the house was   hustle and
bustle,
When  a   little fairy came to make
'em rustle.
Henry is a (Treatbase ball man.
He   slides   to   bases   when ever he
can;
This   little   queen  came to make his
home bright,
Henry will walk the   floor half th#
night.
Next week his honor is going
to slip a few lines over on
Frankie Rauch, Billie Bednar
and the beautiful Queen Minnie.
We have lost a dry goods
merchant as well as a wet goods
merchant, this week, therefore
we are awful lonesome, but before the tail end of the week
we hope to see their smiling
countenances again.
Hey, Rube, look out! the fast
bunch are coming out Sunday—
we mean the Laurels. So far
it is game and game. This is
\he rubber. Come out you
will   not be disappointed.
Get wise   and   read the ads.
