GOOD CROPS IN NORTH DAKOTA. Bud Hammond Writes That He Expects to Harvest 30,000 Bushels of Grain. Lisbon, N. D., July 6, 1909. Dear Editor: Thinking that a short letter from North Dakota might interest my old Jasper county friends, J will write you- a few lines. We are having fine weather and the prospects for a big crop was never better. Grain of all kinds is heading out, and some of the wheat is shoulder high. I have out three sections of wheat, oats, barley and flax.

I have sixty head of hopes and my own threshing outfit, so my expenses taking care of my crop will be light. If present prospects materailize I expect to thresh fifty thousand* bushels of grain. Land values range from $35 to $55 per acre, and are going up very fast. This Is a good country for a poor man, if he Is a good worker, and I have made more money here in the last two years, than I made in my whole life time before.

I will be glad to hear from anyone in Indiana wanting to find out more about this country and will answer any inquiries. As I do not want to take up too much of your space, will close for this time. Yours truly, BUD HAMMOND. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS. July 9, to Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Gassoway of Union tp., a daughter. July 10, to Mr. and Mrs. James Davis of Barkley township, a daughter.

JIKIRI HAD AID OF TWO WOMEN

Amazons Fought to Death Against Americans. HAND TO HAND CONFLICT Moro Bandit Leaped Upon Sixth Cavalry Lieutenant and Was About to Behead Him When Shot From Revolver of Another Officer Killed the Marauder— Tribesmen Thought the Outlaw Could Not Be Harmed by Lead or Steel. Manila, July 13.—Accounts of the last fight of Jiklrl, the Moro outlaw chieftain who was killed and his band exterminated in a pitched battle on the island of Jolo, have reached Manila. Hunted from place to place by regulars and the constabulary, Jikirl with seven followers, two women and one child took refuge in a cave that pierced the side of the crater of an extinct volcano. Scouts located the party and the troops worked their way around the place until it was entirely invested. Captain George L. Byram of the Sixth Cavalry, who commanded the attacking force, then ordered a white flag displayed and through his interpreter called upon Jikiri to-surrender. The outlaw refused and declined also to accept a safe conduct for the women of his party. The women fought with the men until killed by Krag-Jorgenson bullets. Captain Byram ordered up his guns and a terrific shell fire was opened on the cave. The missiles broke above and around the mountain fort. Storming parties worked their way up the steep slope and, finding footing on the ledge, endeavored to rush the larger entrance to the cave. The fighting for a few minutes was desperate but the outlaws drove their assailants back by a savage spear charge. Jikiri himself singled out Lieutenant Arthur H. Wilson, who commanded one section of the attacking party. Dashing from the cave, the outlaw flung himself upon the American before Wilson could raise his pistol. With one hand gripping the officer’s hair, the bandit slashed at his neck with a heavy native knife endeavoring to behead him. Lieutenant Joseth A. Boer saw his comrade’s peril and dashed to his aid. As Jikiri swung back the knife to strike again, Baer shot him dead and Wilson dropped to the ground. It is feared that Wilson will be incapacitated from further service as the muscles of his neck were severed. Hundreds of friendly Moros saw the fight. Many of them believed that Jikiri bore a charmed life and could not be harmed by knife or bullet. They would not be convinced that he was dead until they saw and felt his body.

The Weather. Following is the ofiicial weather forecast: Illinois, Lower Michigan, Wisconsin ant*lowa —Fair today and tomorrow. Indiana—Unsettled today; fair tomorrow.

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS.. The girl who doesn’t know she is pretty isn’t, and the man who doesn’t know he is a fool is. There are persons so thick skinned that no arrow aimed at their self conceit ever pierces their armor. The individual who poses as the head of the family isn’t always the one who keeps the works from going to smash. The burden bearer of the family isn’t always the profit sharer either. There are people who would be more useful to the world if they were not in it Why is it that an ordinary level headed man can’t resist making silly speeches when a girl in the legitimate discharge of her duties comes in his way? The things that we are not doing are sometimes the things that give us the most annoyance. Sometimes we realize that we are great, but what’s the use when nobody else ever finds It out? Two women can’t be happy if neither is a good listener. There is always the wise man about who Improves the opportunity to explain the inexplicable.

The Helping Hand. Scatter seeds of kindness. You can never say Where the man will be next wseb Who is down today. Though his coat is ragged And his hair awry, He may have a wealthy aunt Just about to die. Cannot judge a fellow By his style of dress Or on his appearance Base a certain guess. If when he is pleasant You are rude and cross Maybe he can later Queer you with the boss. Doesn't cost you money, Effort isn’t great. And a little kindness Scattered while you wait May affect your prospects And your fortunes boost When the little chickens Hurry home to roost. And suppose it didn’t Pay in cents and dimes And your fortunes double Many, manv times, For the small investment Of a pleasant smile It will bring your friendships Clearly worth the while.

* No Doubt of It “He is certainly a good fellow who spends all he has.” "Yes, and another thing.” "Whatt* “He Is a wise follow who has all ba spends.” _ If comets have to do with beat waves, astronomers would do well to keep their seal for discovery on ice until the winter solstice takes hold.

Not For the Serious. “It is foolish not to be happy.” “I don’t find it so.” “Why not?” “I am not happy when I'm foolish.”
