Deaths from drowning are daily reported in the newspapers, and chja ebould eerve as a warning to parents to restrain their boys from taking any risks.

Earl Sayler, of Elbow Lake, Minn., in sending 93 for two years subscription, writes very entertainingly of bis home there. He says they have also had a very fine winter with very little snow. He thinks the money stringency was not so much noticed there as in the east, altbo it effected the price of grain. He could have sold his wheat at one time for $1.03 a bushel but finally sold it at 92 to 96 cents. In commenting on the big load of corn D. A. Tanner hauled last fall, he said he believes he holds the record therefor a bumper load of oats, having hauled 156 bushels on one wagon, a distance of four miles and received 42 cents a bushel for it. His family were all well, but the grip was sweeping the country. In closing he says: “I wish I could hand around soine of the fine fish we have here. We had six nice pickerel this week.”
