RATZLAFF DIES FROM APPOPLEXY Passed Away Suddenly Last Saturday Morning Had Suffered Short Time SHOWERS INTERFERED WITH HARVEST Not Enough Moisture to Hurt the Wheat Threshing will Commence Soon The showers of the past week have not damaged the vheat in this vicinity, although harvest was stopped a short time.

A good start was made with binders the latter part of last week, and now all through the country binders and large crews of men are at work. Threshing will commence next week in the bundle grain. There is not much corn raised in this neighborhood, but what there is is certainly in fine shape. C. P.

Froese is the first to finish harvest. He had one acre and raised that in a hog pen. We'll bet dollars to corn cobs that he made more on that hog pen this yenr than he ever did before. Mrs. Ratzlaff was talking by phone to one of the daughters, telling her that her father was better, and Mr.

Ratzlaff was sitting in a chair behind her dictating what to say. His voice ceased and she turned around to find that the end had come and suffering was over. Mr. Ratzlaff was born in Russia 65 years ago and came to America 25 years ago. He was married in the old country and eleven children were born to the union, four of which, two sons and two daughters, preceeded their father to the great beyond.

Those living are Henry, Peter, Jake, Maggie, John, Herman, and Annie. Hermen was in Idaho at the time but arrived home Tuesday evening. The funeral was held yesterday morning at the Ebonzer church of which he was a de-votet member and in which he was an ardent worker. After coming to this country Mr. Ratzlaff and his family located on a farm and through hard work and good management prepared for the rainy day that always comes some time.

About three years ago they retired from the farm and bought one of the finest and most commodious homes in our city and Mr Ratzlaff and wife started to take the rest that they had surely earned. Mr. Ratzlaff was a good provider and leaves his heart broken widow and children in comfort, and it is hard for this world to lose such a fine Christian character as he was. J. D.

Pankratz has joined the "Fordists," having purchased a touring car of C. P. Frocse. Miss Lizzie Bargen returned last Thursday evening from a three weeks' visit with her sister, Mrs. D.

Bonita Hurley is visiting her great grandma, Mrs. Pickett, who is suffering with This community was greatly shocked last Saturday just before noon when word was passed around that H. P. Ratzlaff, one of our early, settlers, had died suddenly of appoplexy at his home.

Mr. Ratzlaff was in his usual good health until Friday evening when he began too feel bad, and Dr. Bredehoft was called. He was not suffering much, and was not considered in danger. Saturday morning he was feeling much better, and was up and around about as usual.

The end came at 10:50. The fly is the biggest menace to life, human and animal. It is the filthiest of all insects, the most irritating, also. The fly costs you more money than all other pests on your farm put together. It robs you at the itiilk pail, keeps your cows scrawny and discontented takes beef off your steers, and makes your horses cross-tempered, balky and thin.

Use Dr. Hess Fly Chaser for your stock. It's cheap, and the only sure way out. We also sell arsenic and fly killers of all kinds for the killing of flies in the house. J.
