recognized as one of the teachers in the McCook public schools was one of the unfortunates Of her case the Denver Times says The one case that may require time for healing was that of Miss Mary Pow ers of Trenton Neb whose right knee was sprained and she was bruised by several of the panicky people stepping on her as she lay on the ground under the canvas Select and Preserve Samples It is proposed to make an exhibit of Redwillow county farm products at the Nebraska state fair this fall and it has been suggested to The Tribune that the farmers of the county select and prepare and set aside samples of their best grain etc now while the harvest is progressing in order that suitable samples of the best products of the farm may be secured for that purpose The desirability of making
