* A bright sun and a slightly wanner atmosphere indicates that perhaps the weatherman did know what he was about when he said springy arrived last Sunday morning. If you want to laugh reaenfe seats now for “The Rose of the Range.” . Several farmers in town today report that oats sowing is going on. in various places. Some consider it too cold, however, to take a chance and are going to wait for a few ddys. A United States warship will be sent to Yucatan, Mexico, with money to buy the sisal hemp necessary for the making of binder twine. It is estimated that $625,000 worth of sisal will be necessary to make twine for the wheat crop. The so-called blockade of English waters and the inability to ship to Germany has not seriously interfered with our exports, according to figures just issued by the department of commerce and during the month of February our exports increased $100,000,000 over the same month of last year. We have been selling for a number of years from thirty to fifty Case com planters. They have given universal satisfaction. HAMILTON & KELLNER. Matt Brown, residing near Hebron, is supposed to have beaten the record this -year by sowing 25 acres of oats a week ago. A few farmers have followed his example, but most of them prefer to wait for April. Spring plowing is in progress all over the county and the soil works excellently, except in localities, where complaints are heard of dry weather. — Valparaiso Vidette.

J. W. Sink, who works for the International Harvester Co., has rented the Albert Swartzell property on Vine street, near the depot, and will move here from Joliet, 111., next week. He plans to bring his household goods here on auto trucks from that city. Rensselaer welcomes Mr. Sink as a citizen and if we had an interurban to make traveling more convenient, we would have a large number of traveling men residing here. The Makeever House seemed to be threatened by fire for a time this morning. Express Agent Hart saw smoke issuing from between the bricks near the flue on the east wall. The department was called and it was some time before the trouble was abated. The mortor seems to have fallen out from between the bricks of the flue and probably the smoke was caused by the burning of soot. The same thipg has occurred on one or two previous occasions and a bad fire might result should it happen at night. As it was no noticeable damage resulted.

Michael Nagel, who was called to his home in Mitchell, S. Dak., only a few hours after his arrival here, was unable to see many of his old friends owing to the short tim£ he was here. Mike is farming 1,000 acres near Mitchell and likes the country and is doing well. He has increased in weight, very much since going there and now weighs 260 pounds and as he exceeds 6 feet in height he is a tolerably large man. He will put out 300 acres of corn this year and also other crops. He reports a large amount of snow there this year and told of walking out to the harp,'one morning after a night’s show and the snow was up to his waist. Lots of snow in that country is a great aid to the crops of the following year and South Dakota is expecting a big crop the coming year. Wheat last year was badly damaged by black rust and Mike got only about 2,000 bushels from over 200 acres.
