Shoe Department
PURE LEATHER
Does it pay to buy an off brand of
shoes at a cheap price ? No it does
not, for many shoes are not made
of pure leather and to look at
them they look as good as the best
but when one comes to wear a
pair they will soon see where the
trouble is, and this is the cause of
so many SHOE dealers going out
of the shoe business. They have
not been handling the right kind
of shoes. We handle the STAR
BRAND SHOES which stands
with the best. When you once
buy a Star Brand Shoe you will
wear no other We handle them:
in Ladies’ Men’s, Boys, Girls and'
little Children’s. STAR BRAND

Len Knapp was down from
Logan last Wednesday evening
having some repairs to his auto.
From Len we learned that his sis
ter, Mrs. George Petersen, now
at Brooks, Minn., was to go to a
hospital for an operation for gall
stone trouble. He had not heard
further at that time as to bow she
had passed through the oi>eration.
The many friends of that lady
will be anxious to know about her
and Len promised to let us know
as soon as he heard.
Later—Word was received from
Mr. Knapp Tuesday morning of
this week that Mrs. Petersen had
undergone a successful ojteration
for both gall stones and appendici
tis at Rochester, Minn., and was
reported as getting along nicely
since the operation. This will be
pleasing news to that lady's friends
here.

The Northwestern’s job depart

present, and in fact has been so
since we secured the services of
J. R. Gardiner, some seven months
ago. Our job department is com
plete with the very latest and up
to-date series of type, with several
hundreds of dollars worth of
stationery in stock, and we have
the only first-class job printers in
the city, so it is no wonder our
job department is overrun with
work. At this writing (Monday
morning) we have 15 jobs on the
hook which could not be reached
last week. Surely, we feel mighty
good over it all and return thanks
to our patrons, to whom we owe
our good fortune.

Daddow going down to Ravenna with
his auto after her.
The carrier tiiinks there will be
more alfalfa sown this spring than
ever before. It isclaimed the ground
should be wet dow n three.feet before
alfalfa is sowed any year, as this
would let the main root go down that
far ea»v, making the life of the alf
alfa field much longer. If the seed is
sown when the ground is only wet
down some six inches, the root goes
down that far. strikes hard ground
ar.d tiien branches off instead of go
ing down further, and the result is
that the field will not be worth much
after a few yours and will suffer for
moisture. Carrier tiiinks alfalfa is
the best crops to raise. Why? lie
cause it makes new ground out of old
in a lew years. Ground that will not
grow white beans will grow alfalfa,
which grows 3 or 4 crops a year and
each crop is the finest hay that grow s.
It is so rich.that where hogs aie pas
tured in it during the summer only
one ear 6‘f 'corn a day given each hog
will keep them fat. While the hcgs
are pasturing on it, it can be cut two
or three times. In the very dryest
years it will make a fair crop while
otlrer crops will be a failure. If you
have 50 acres in alfalfa you do not
have to insure it against hail or lay
awake nights for fear hail will strike
it and beat it into the ground. Three
weeks from that time you will have a
good crop again, if it had been a
wheat field the crop would have been
ruined for tlie year. Alfalfa dees
more. It makes the earliest and the
latest green feeds. Weeks after every
thing else is dried up, alfalfa is green
and stays so after many heavy freezes.
While alfalfa costs a little more to
fed than other crops, it does not have
to be re-seeded for from 5 to 15 years.
Then you can cut tfie first crop which
is always good and let the next crop
go to seed, making from 1 to 3 bushels
per hayrack load. Sherman county
has hundreds of acres of good alfalfa,
but every farm should have not less
than 20 acres of alfalfa. 5 or 10 acres
of that for hog pasture and the rest
for hay. If you want to sell your
place you will get more for it by hav
ing a good stand of alfalfa on t.
Another good thing *Wut alfalfa,
after it is cut and is almost dry and a
big rain gives it a soaking, it is al
most as good feed as before. But let
other bay get wet and it is spoiled.
Then allalfa manure is almost three
times as rich as others. Alfalfa is a
sure crop in Sherman county.
There was a surprise party at Al
bert Snyder’s last Wednesday night.
