Home From the North.
A. P. Leis. who has been at De
Smit. North Dakota, where he has
been assisting his brother, Charles
Leis, who has been making his home
there, during threshing. Steve has
been there for the past six weeks or
more and reportes the crops as be
ing very good and that at the time
he started for home the weather as
i being very cold. Steve says that not
i only are the crops of wheat and flax
I very good but that a magnificent
; crop of "Wild Oats" is found, which
is indeed the bane of the northern
farmers as much so as the Canadian
lor the Russian Thistle is here.
Home From the East.
O. P. Pothast, who was given a ten
davs course of instruction in the
! matter of life insurance business for
! writing the highest amount of insur
ance for his company in this district
during a certain period of time and
was fortunate in having all expenses
paid at Terrhaute. Indiana, returnee
home last week, and wss well pleased
with his trip.
Mr. Pothast reports an excellent
time as well as telling of the most
wonderful crops in the east. In Iowa,
Illinois and Indiana the corn is simp
ly grand and enormous yields are
now ready for the harvesting.
Care Will Save Sorrow.
"Better be careful than sorry."
Better be a little careful regarding
and not have the rest of the family
or friends wearing crepe, for when
one looks at the matter from the
logical standpoint most all of the
crossing accidents could have been
avoided, and they run into thousands
each year. It's useless, for in order
to beat the train across in order to
save a few moments one is risking
sacrificing his life, and, not only
that, the lives of many others. By
care, the matter of stopping, and
looking and listening at a railroad
crossing would become as easy and
fixed a habit as putting on the brakes
or stepping on the gas. "Better be
careful than sorry."
Enjoyed Wonderful Hunt
On Wednesday of last week Henry
A. Guthmann. of the Bank of Mur
dock, and Reese Hastin of the Bank
of Commerce of Louisville, returned
from their ten days hunting trip in
