Fire last Wednesday afternoon burned the roof off the Sharkey & Bowman millinery store and badly damaged the roof of the Press office next door west, but as soon as our fire, laddies got to work on the blaze they soon had it under control. thanks to our excellent waterworks’ system which has saved a great many thousands of dollars worth of property in Remington since its installation some fifteen years ago. A part of the millinery stock and some of the Press’ paper stock that was not removed from the buildings before the water was turned on was quite badly damaged. Fowler Republican: Samuel Little arose yesterday morning at 4:30 a. m., placed a loaded shotgun under his jaw and pulled the trigger. That part of bis face was blown into the ceiling of the room where the shooting took place. Dr. Kinneman of Goodland was called and the wound dressed. Coroner Lepage and Dr. Cook held an insanity inquest in the afternoon and found him insane. He was taken last night at midnight to the Saint Elizabeth hospital at Lafayette, and will be cared for till he is admitted to the insane hospital For two or three months he has been “oft.” He thought that everything was going wrong and that he and his wife would be left destitute.

The Hessian fly has done untold damage in White Post and Gillam townships, especially so in the latter where the farmers have plowed under whole fields of the cereal and re-planted the land in corn. But not alone here is this the case but from other parts of the country come complaints of the ravages of the pest. Corn promises a good yield. The section men at this poipt have this week received one of those gasoline motor cars which does away with the strenuous work of hand-pumping. The section north and the section south have been thrown into one section of about ten miles in length, with George W. Ballard as foreman, thus eliminating

one section foreman. This change had been contemplated for some time but for some reason was not made until now. Frank D.

He will retain his business interests in the clothing store of Baughman Bros, here. The commencement exercises in Gillam township last Thursday evening Were a grand success. The weather was all that could be desired, the crowd was a record-break-er; the-church was beautifully decorated and all the preliminaries had been arranged to perfection. The graduates, Anna Leonard, Rudy Molitor, Gertrude Dickinson. Ernest Molitor and Mary Pullins, acquitted themselves very creditably of their themes, and the speaker or the evening, Rev. D. H. Guild, after indulging in some reminiscences of the past gave the graduates some good and wholesome advice for the future —it was a good practical speech and should bear fruit. The singing was good. Mrs. Mary Guild’s solo deserving especial mention. The presentation of diplomas by County Supt. Lamson. Rolls of Honor by Trustee J. W. Selmer and the benediction by Rev. A. W. Smith closed an evening long to remembered by all present and for the success of which Trustee Selmer is to be congratulated.

ART IN FRUIT PACKING.

Make Berries Look Like Poems and Reap a Worth While Reward. Here is shown the way to pack raspberries for the high class markets. Selected and fixed as they are, they are poems of nature, and the short hatred farmer who gets them ready often makes more on a crate than the long haired poet makes on a perfectly good set of verses. w First, of course, you must have your perfect berry, and after that no care Is too great to send It to market in

BERRIES RIGHT FOR MARKET.

tempting fashion. Clean, crisp boxes; tissue paper, preferably of a light green tint; concentric arrangement of the layers and the packing of the boxes In crates to prevent a single berry being crushed will bring Standard Oil dividends to any fruit grower. Education and wealth have made the average consumer most fastidious. He or she cares no more to have a lot of mixed up berries ladled out in bulk. The cost is no object The quality is the thing.

king; hence this extract from an article of his In the Yale (college) News Is well worth perusal. “It seems probable to me,” writes Mr. Hill, “that there are a good many hundred university graduates in this country every year who would be better off if they had shaped their studies with a view to agricultural industry and taken their diploma straight to the farm. “There is not and never will be any oversupply of educated farmers. “At the same time the man with a university education, supplemented by just such practical instruction as he would feel essential to any other occupation, is certain of success on the farm in proportion to his ability and Industry. “I do not think of any other occupation of which these sweeping assertions can be made. I do not know of any in which it is more possible to continue tn connection with the main business of earning a living than enrichment and enlargement of the mind, which is the best gift of university life and its proper though seldom realized continuation after the university has been left behind. “Except for those who have made the acquisition of wealth and power their definite alm in life 1 think the farm offers advantages superior to those of business or the professions."

An Effective Fly Trap.

Every garbage can and swill barrel can be converted into a fly trap If the device Invented by Dr. Cllften F. Hodge of Clark university biological department be adopted. The can or barrel is fitted with a loose cover which permits the flies to enter. At the top of the cover Is an opening leading to a wire screen fly trap, and it is a peculiar fact that most of the flies entering the can in search of food will choose to make their exit at the top of the can and thus go to their death in the trap. This method is not patented and therefore may be used by everybody.
