Monday is Labor day a legal holiday. In the cities the union laborers will get out and parade and have a big time in general, many of them getting well “soused.” In the country towns people will only work just a little harder perhaps, and "the banks will close their doors to all business. That is all the difference , we'll notice. Joe Nagel of west of town had the champion oats field thus far heard from in this vicinity. A measured 40 acres yielded 2,928 bushels and 4 pounds, or 73’4 bushels to the acre. The oats Were blown down badly and Mr. Nagel cut them all one way and he thinks ihe lost fully five bushels to the acre ion account of their being lodged. He also had oats on his farm north 'of town that yielded over 60 bushels, and all averaged 50 bushels right through.
