A couple of game wardens were in Hanging Grove Friday looking after the protection of our game. The evidence at hand was not thought sufficient to warrant a prosecution at. this time, but will no doubt increase the -gravity of the next offense.

A few of the farmers have threshed wheat last week, with average from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. R. S. Drake’s 20 acre" field made 604 bushels or a little over 30 bushels per acre. C. TV. Bussell’s 19 acre field made a yield of about 20 bushels per acre. A large number of people from here attended the funeral of Miss Hayes Gwin, Sunday. Besides her several relatives here, she had made a large circle of friends two years ago when she taught a successful school at Osborne. Her death was so sudden it could hardly be realized by her friends and relatives. Wash Lowman puts up lots of ha . Since the haying season began about four weeks ago, he has -put up about 400 tons, and before the season closes he will have put up 1,000 tons of tame and wild hay. This would look like a big bunch of hay to a man not versed in hay making, but Mr. Lowman uses the best possible methods for the business. He runs 3 mowers, a rake, two gatherers and an* Acme ricker, and personally supervises all of the work. Of the four weeks of haying, Mr. Lowman has only missed being In the field one half day. . ‘ Honey, 10 cents a pound.
