Hiram Hayseed. The Jewell County Farmer needed some baking powder in the kitchen and some axle grsase in the stable, and his wife needed some rat poison in the garret and some white wash in the cellar, so there was nothing else to do Saturday but hitch up and go to town. Well, sir, we got there all right, but, gosh! it was a drive. On the road to Mankato we passed about fifty other people who were going some where, too, and what those people did was enough to make a fence picket nervous. I can say what attraction Hulda and I had about us, but I have been blaming my calico tie ever since, and would have fed it to the turkeys if some other idea had not struck my mind.

To tell the truth, those people just stared at us as if we were two radishes dancing the Liberty Bell March, and you know they must have been anxious about something. But I got wise when I struck town and commenced to look unconcerned, and then every-thing was over. You see those people have been reading about me in The Monitor and are anxious to sight at me. If this were not a free country I could crawl into some mole hill and come out only at meal times, to keep the people from glancing at my whiskers, But I thank my lucky stars and several other planets that my grandfather's ship sailed in this direction that windy March. I will bet you a jar of apple butter against three bushels of turnip seed that eleven of those people that eyed me Saturday are dead sure certain that they can call the Jewell County Farmer by his nick name.

If Ben, you all know him, hadn't been a half a mile in the back of me and was eyed at the same way, I would begin to feel myself tremble but, so far I am breathing easy. The doctor thinks it will be all over in a week or two if Hulda feeds me plenty of pigeon soup and onion cake. While in town I slipped into your editor's office and put in my order for the ink kegs that belong to me as per contract. They had 1 The only high-clasa Baking Powder old at moderate price. i UL'orge inns is nit; uuai I thing that ever came to Mankato." Prof.

It is becoming axiomatic that to read the Je.vell County Monitor is to read the only county paper that covers the field. The local papers make no attempt at it and this leaves the field open to the Monitor. There is no competition. Mart Davidson, C. C.

Thomas. Jack Wishart and Mr. Bucknell were down Saturday to look after the details of building a model school house at Jackson Center.

Green Realty Co. a few samples standing behind the press that looked as if they were lined with tar paper, but the head printer said that they are born that way, and that white ink kegs are as scarce as white elephants. I concluded then and there not to run any chances on waiting for white ones, so 1 put in my word for sixteen of the blackest they can save up to next September.

I wouldn't risk the proposition, but I'm a great believer in advertising because I was born on Ad Street in Wisconsin. You see they say that printers' ink is the most wonderful dope between the Gulf of Mexico and Mars, and that if it were not for said ink the world would soon dry up. Well, sir, says I to myself, if printers' ink is such a big thing for the world why shouldn't it be a big thing for sour kraut? There's no use trying to calculate one way or the other 'cause you can figure on it as a dead certainty that The Monitor's ink kegs are contracted for, inspected, ordered, and waiting for next year's cabbage. Every man, woman, and child who reads this paper will be invited to a surprise kraut party Oct. 28, 1910 unless the world and sour kraut are so different that printer's ink can't span the chasm.

A young man at Northbranch says that he often goes to dinner parties where they serve mashed potatoes, and becase he doesn't like his potatoes mashed, he wants to know what to do on such occasions.
