Pilfering is going on upon almost every highway in the country. Many motorists seem to think anything they see grorving in garden or farm lands along the highway is free plun der and that they have a right to help themselves. To do so is plain stewing. One might just as well en gage in shoplifting in a store or in stealing from a display stand on the sidewalk. I t is necessary for the farm er 'to make his produce count.

Good weather was all that was lack ing to make it a financial success. Labor Day, as well as the day pre ceding, was stormy and threatening in the morning, vrith muddy roads and wet conditions generally, a day not inviting for a pleasure trip and not inspiriting to the management. How ever, it was decided to go on rvith the fair according to the schedule.

Wednesday was a good deal of the same order, though the program was not inter fered with by rain. Thursday, the last day, was the best of all, bright and cheering. So the fair went through practically as scheduled and the people came and went away satis fied and with words of praise rather than criticism.

In 1885, while, Mr. Bouck and his mother, Warner, now deceased, were wrestling in a field near home just under Vroman's Nose, Warner picked up a potato bug and thrust it into William’s ear. Efforts to remove the bug were unsuccessful, and the late Dr. Henry D. Wells of that village was called and he was unable to re move it with instruments, and as a last resort a preparation was inserted into the ear to kill the insect. Since th a t time at intervals he had more or less trouble with his Recently the ear started to trouble him again and his wife, striv ing to relieve hun, took a blunt needle and began ivorking in the ear. After a long time she succeeded in remov ing a foreign substance, which upon investigation proved to be the wing of a potato bug. Later the remainder of the insect ■was taken out. The bug had lost none of its identity, the stripes on the wings being visible. ROM GAS IN SILO FILLING WINS $2,21lOO VERDICT FROM U. V.
