Homer Arnold has returned to his school work at Marion, Ind. Len Griggs went to Wolcott today to visit his son Clifford over Sunday and do a little surveying work. Mrs. C. W- Coen and sister, Mrs. Rebecca Porter, came from South Bend today. Mrs. Porter has about recovered from her sickness and will take up her residence here. Mrs. Coen seems to be greatly" improved also. She will remain here for a short visit only. We have just finished unloading our Bth carload of flour since Jan. 1, 1911. This is more flour than all the balance of the merchants here have handled, but quality is what sells the flour. We guarantee Aristos to be the best flour made or money returned. JOHN EGER. r • ih ■ ; ■ ■ " • * ' • Nearly all the Goodland Bank de j positors have received their 20 per cent dividend. Prospects point toward the seventh dividend for this fall. The real estate building flat Logansport and the bank building here remains to be sold, which will probably make another 10 per cent dividend.—Goodland Herald. M. D. Shutt, of Rock Rapids, lowa, has sold to R. J. McKenzie, of Winnipeg, Penisa Maid, frho has a trotting record of 2:04%. The price was $25,000. Three other colts sold by Mr. Shutt to Mr. McKenzie brought 000. Penisa Maid was being trained on the track at the Indiana state fair grounds and recently went the fourth quarter of a mile in 29% seconds. It is confidently expected that she will trot a mile in two minutes or less this year.

Samuel Little, a farmer living southwest of Goodland, tried to kill himself Thursday morning, at about 4:30 o’clock. He loaded the shotgun, and putting the butt of the'stock on the door, pointed the gun at his face and pulled the trigger with his toe. The charge of shot tore through most of his left jaw. He was taken to Fowler and thence to Lafayette, where his wounds are being treated at a hospital. The Goodland Herald attributes his act to worry over a horse purchased about three months ago and for which he paid $l5O. He worried'because the horse did not prove satisfactory and this produced a form of insanity. It is thought probable by the physicians that he will recover. Frank M. Coovert, a former republican treasurer of Newton county, who lost heavily through the failure of the Goodland bank, and who did all in his power to make his shortage good by turning over all his property, is now about to get entirely even by completing settlement with his bondsmen. A lawsuit was recently decided in his favor and against Fry & Judy, and if this settlement is made it will clear Mr. Coovert up.* He is now living on a farm in Oklahoma. He advises people not to emigrate to that country. He says the summers are always dry and this year the drouth started a month earlier than usual and that all crops will be very short. He says land is cheap but it brings all it will pay interest and taxes on. John T. McCutcheon has figured it out that if Mr. House Fly marries Miss Musca Domestics in May they will be the parents of 120 bouncing fly babies by May 30th, and that their children will all be married by June 10th and have a family of marriageables by June 20th. By June 30th the number of offsprings should be 207#60.000 and by July 20th the number would be increased to 42,998,169,600,000. The statistical story of fly progeneration is illustrated in the Chicago Tribune, and accompanied by a very interesting argument in favor of “swatting’* the flies. He tells how they breed their family in the sugar bowl, the pantry and the garbage can. Reading the story that accompanies the illustration makes a fellow mad whenever a fly lights In “swatting" distance of him. Everybody’s friend—Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil.
