It is safe to say that the wheat yield in this section of the county, and the same reports come from Adams, Helix and Weston, will average about 35 bushels to the acre.

Some offers have been made this week to different growers for "2 and 73 cents, tut it was refused. The growers think that they will be able to get 75 cents at least, and pos sibly more. Report from the Juni per country, which lies about 10 miles north of Helix where the soil is light, and very little grain was expected, show that most of the farmers are getting about 25 bushels to the acre.

GOOD YIELDS. The Black Hills region and the ad jacent country have been noted find ing places for the remains of strange animals of ancient America. Through out this region, ages ago, in the Cre taceous period, there were vast swamps and bodies of open water, connected by a network of water courses that were constantly chang ing their channels. The intervening spaces, which were but slightly above the water level, were covered with an abundant veg etation, and through this region roamed many beasts whose bones were here and there embedded in the mud that, now become solid rock, preserved to the geologist skeletons that are treasured In many museums. Among these were the Ceratopsia, an order of rptilian creatures which are the subject of a technical descrip tion In a volume just published by the United States geological survey. The Caratopsia comprised many genera and species, but the most striking, perhaps, was the genus call ed Triceratops, a three-horned ani mal of huge size, now represented in the United States National Museum at Washington by a skeleton nearly as big as that of an elephant. An im mense bony frill that covers the up per part of the neck, a pair of horns like those of an ox, a smaller nasal horn like that of a rhinocerous, and a snout like that of a turtle, give the head of the Triceratops a unique and striking appearance. The Ceratopsia found their food in the vegetation of the swamp region they inhabited, and the agencies by which they became extinct are not certainly known. Voting Man Meets With Painful Ac cident in Runaway. Weston. Jply 24. Harvesting has progressed far enough in this vicinity to demonstrate that there will be lots of 35 and 40-bushel yields to the acre. For the most part the grain promises to be of standard quality, although there are some fields in which shriveled grain Is reported. By this time next week work will be far enough advanced so that an intelli gent estimate of the yield may be formed. There is an over supply of men here and at Athena, who desire work in the harvest fields and many are leav ing for other parts. The introduction of combines lessens the demand for laborers to a considerable extent and the result is that men are finding it hard to secure employment in har vest in this vlclplty. Jesse Prowls, met with a painful accident Wednesday while driving a team on the mountains. One of the horses became unmanageable without any visible cause, and soon the wagon was thrown over, and Mr. Prowls was quite badly injured, though he Is not in a serious condition, and he will soon be out as usual.

An attack on the money order business trans acted by th express companies of the country was made in a paper read be fore the convention of the Minnesota Bankers' association, in session here today. The matter will be brought before the American Bankers' associ ation at Its annual convention this faii. : It is alleged that as the express companies are common carriers and nothing else, they have no right to do a banking business unless they sub mit to the same regulations which govern the banks themselves in their transactions. The bankers demand that these companies submit to exam ination by federal and state banking departments. They say that the ex press money orders which the com panies issue and expect the banks to cash oftentimes when the local com panies have not aufflclent funds with which to meet these orders, have al ways caused the bankers great an noyance and inconvenience. The ef fort of the Bankers' association Is di rected toward forcing the express companies to give up this feature of their business, or, if they carry it on, to make them submit to the regular examinations. This afternoon the bankers will en- Joy a trip on Lake Superior. On Sun day, following the adjournment or the convention, the financiers will leave on the steamer America for an excursion to the Isle Royals. NERVOUS DEBILITY Just Exactly Right.
