brought for the plaintiff Monday afternoon in the case of
John Schmolke vs. Elizabeth
Uhl. The action was for $5,000

A verdict for the plaintiff was
ordered by the court, the jury
fixing the amount  of  damages.

Sunday morning on a trip to

but only got as far as the intermediate point. In going

FIRST SNOW
LAST MONDAY.
A sort of preliminary winter—
just to show us what to expect
later—set in last Monday, when
snow fell at intervals all day.
It was not of the variety of the
large flakes, which circle around
and ''seem nowhere to alight,"
but rather of the fine grained
blizzardy kind.
By evening the earth had a
complete coat of white and the
familiar crunch and stamping- of
feet was heard everywhere.
Even the housewives were made
aware of the proceedings outdoors by the lumps of snow carried into the rooms and allowed
to melt on the floor. Pigs grunted and squealed for shelter,
spring chickens huddled in the
corners for protection and alternately lifted one foot and then
the other, and the cow ceased
to chew her cud. On opening
the door a kind and familiar
warmth of atmosphere met your
face, which reminded one that
even old winter had his charms.
The splendor and warmth of the
hearth as forerunners of Christmas cheer are strong competitors of the charms of spring for
first place in people's hearts.
Winter is feared by contrast,
during the sweltering days of
sweat and mosquitoes, but
the transition from fall to
the winter season is nearly always so gently paved by a
few incipient introductions ol
northwind, woolen underwear
and fuel supply, that we fall
into below-zero weather, almost
ere we are aware.

A copy of the charter was sent

they decided to go po farther
than Brainerd. And being lost
was not the cause of all the delay. The gentlemen all carried
much advertising matter for the
Home Coming and White Way
day and the distribution of this
took much time. If the people
between here and Brainerd do
not know that Little Falls is to
have a big time Saturday it
certainly is not the fault of the
motorists.
STORE ROBBED
ATJOYALTON.
The T. Garber & Son store at
Royalton was entered Monday
night through the back door
with tools taken from the hand
car house, by a burglar, who
took what change there was in
the cash register, 15 or 16 good
hunting case Elgin andWaltham
watches, and dressed himself in
one of the best blue serge suits
of clothes in the place. A suit of
underwear, a red sweater, a
gray overcoat and a pair of
black shoes were also taken.
The discarded clothing was
left in the store.

Why Husk All The Corn?
It is customery in the Northwest to husk most of the corn
crop that is not put into the
silo. The expense ol husking-
is from four to six cents per
'I bushel. In addition to the ex-
pense, corn-husking takes much
time needed for other fall work.
So far as possible, it would be
wise to husk only the corn needed for inside feeding.
Stockers   and feeders can be

Parcel Post Instructions.

carelessness in this regard and

in   this  form.     Fattening-   hogs

loads of straw to nest in.    If it
is not possible to finish them in

corn. They will waste the stover
to some extent, but a portion of'
this can be picked up by colts, ]
