CLEANED from the EXCHANGES

Miss Iva Guss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Guss, who live on a farm west of Monticello, who was instantly killed Sunday evening about 6 o'clock when the automobile in which she was riding overturned throwing her out and breaking her neck, was buried Tuesday. Petersburg weather prophets in that part of the ‘ pocket’’ are predicting a mild winter. The beechnut trees are almost barren, while there is a great scarcity of other kinds of nuts. The corn husks are thin and the fur on fur-bearing animals is not heavy. All this portends a mild winter, the weather sharps say. ■E. G. Perrigo shipped to Indianapolis Wednesday morning two pure-bred Hampshire .'ams. . .S. B. Davis and wife of Shawnee, Oklahoma, arrived in Morocco Tuesday and are the guests of Fred Jessen and relatives. They drove through and are on their way to visit their daughter, Mrs. George Atkinson of Springfield, Massachusetts—Morocco Courier. A. L. Hodgson. Randolph county agricultural agent, recommends that local districts consume their pwn potatoes instead of buying them from a distant market. “If farmers and others having a few pOta- > toes for sale could find the 7 people who will be compelled to buy and sell potatoes for winter use. at the same time using some of the available storage space in their cellars or pits,’’ he says, “there would be less -store-house congestion. The result would be lower prices for consumer, higher prices for producer and greater national efficiency : due to the opportunity for storing perishable foods.” . v A, D. Babcock was over from Goodland yesterday. He showed us a letter from the Cornhill Publish ■ , ing company. Boston, offering to

publish his book, a new book of poems, for him. This is one of the great publishing houses of the country and their name as publishers would be a great recommendation for the work. Mr. Babcock is engaged in a prose work, "The End of the Trail,” that promises to be of great interest and preserve much data of historical value. The story will deal with the days of Harrison and Tecumseh, and the “End of the Trail’’ is at Beaver lake in Newton county.—Fowler Tribune.
