A CHAIN + ' TO MAKE MONEY.
I saw one of your subs ribPrs
tell iii your columns a few weeks
ago how she made money selling
Dish Washers. I wrote to the
Iron City Dish Washer Co , B.
E. Pittsburg , Pa. , and obtained
one of their Dish Washers and
tried it myself. It is just lovely ;
you can wash and dry the dishes
for a family in two minutes , without -
out touching your hands to a dish
or putting them in hot water. I
made the first day , $5.00 , and
everybody wanted a Dish Washer
just as soon as they saw me wash
their dishes. Since then I have
made as high as $18.00 a day , awl
I believe that I can get enough
money to keep my brother at
school this winter and have money
in the bank too. Any lady or
gentleman can do as well as I am
doing , I am sure , as I had no ex-
perience. When everybody wants
to buy , it is not hard to sell. Anyone -
one can get information by writing -
ing the above firm , and I am glad
+
to add my experience , because I
think it is my duty to others to
help them @ver the hard times.

Seeding anI garden making are
the order of the day.
In anticipation of a soaking
rain Wm. Coleman has reshingled
his house with native shingles.
John Smith jr. who spent the
winter in the eastern part of the
state returned , last Saturday , to
farm here this season.
Phillip Blatt has erected a neat
frame house up here which will
soon be ready for occupancy.
Henry Blaeholder will occupy it.
Wednesday evening , the young
people to the number of twenty-
seven gathered at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Sharp and had a
very enjoyable time.
One hundred and eighty. five
bushels of seed potatoes for the
farmers of this township were purchased -
chased with the money secured by
S. D. McClain during his visit to
Illinois.
On Thursday of last week S. D.
McClain , R. Tranhageu , H. Sim-
mermas and A. Prentice hauled
out 112 bushels of seed wheat to
sow oil the F. H. Geusicke farm.
He lives in Iowa and Wm. Coleman -
man induced him to furnish the
seed to sow on his land.
In 1580 , the first rain that fell
in this town. was on the 17th dity
of May. The writer hereof tht-ii
broke out twenty acres and colu-
menced to plant corn June 1st ,
and raised a fttir crop of good ,
sound corn , rl'here was scarcely
any scow during the preceding
winter , about two inches falling
oil the 11thtof April. The soil is
in far better condition now than it
was any time that spring before
the 17tH of May.
Sam Johns is well known in this
township. He carne here from the
state of Iowa in 1888 , and after
farming three seasons went back in
1890 , but returned iii 1891 , and
farmed here until last fallwlien , lie
went back to Iowa again and purchased -
chased eighty acres near Panora ,
Guthrie county. The first of this
week he traded his eighty acres
for the W. T. Richey farm located
four miles northeast of McCook ,
and is now on his way back to farm
iii this county. He has tried farming -
ing here and there , but evidently
prefers this for farming. Mr. R.
expects to leave tomorrow for his
new home near Panora. They are
both fine men and good industrious
farmers.
The following quotations have
appeared in Iowa papers during
the past two or three weeks : "The
farmers are busy discussing prospects -
pects for rain. " . . . . "There would
be louder rejoicing to see rain than
there was to hear of the decease
of the 53d congress. " . . . . "The
most important question before
the people today is , when will it
rain ? " . . . . "It is said the drouth
is on account of the sins of the
people. If this is a fact the people -
ple had better be scratching around
for sanctification. " . . . "DesMoines ,
Iowa , March 28.-A storm of-sand
and dust prevails over Iowa today.
The dry surface of the fields being
lifted by the wind and driven
across the 'country and into the
upper atmosphere , clouding the
suu. Dust and sand is drifted in
great piles along the fences and
hedges. " . . . . The small streams
are practically dry. The springs
are drying up and half of the
wells in the country are so dry
that a wooden pail would soon go
to pieces in the bottom of them.
Some farmers have to drive their
stock three or four miles to water.
Water for house use is becoming
t7
a serious question. "
