These figures are contained in the report of the United States Commissioner for 1908 and have just become available, ‘I'he American Book company has just published a book by Goff and Mayne which gives an interesting summary of the way in which American’s spend their money. ‘The summary is based on the Commissioner’s report.

SPORTING NOTES Ball Team For Bemidji Bemidji is to have a real ball team Cempany K has stepped into the breach and the team organized at camp will be kept up. While at Lake City, the team played and defeated Hibbing 13 to 2.

KILLED BY BREAKING OF BLOGK AND TAGKLE Young Man Struck in Abdomen by Sweep of Stump Puller—Was On Mother’s Farm. - Princeton, Minn,, June 25—Fred Bartz, aged 19 years, son of Mrs. Charles Bartz of Blue Lake, Spencer Brook township, met with an acci- dent, which terminated fatally, while engaged in pulling stumps on his mother’s farm. He was walk- ing behind the sweep of the stump puller, which was being operated by a team, when the tackle broke and the sweep, coming back with tre- mendous force, struck him in the abdomen. He was brought to the North- western hospital where an inscision was made in the abdoman, which disclosed the rupture of a blood ves: end of the contrivance drag it over the infested area. The grasshoppers are stirted up by the trampling of the hoofs and hop into the tank, the slightest touch of the oil being suffi- cient to kill them. “The trouble,” said F. L. Wash. burn, state ehtomologist, “comes from the existence of hundreds of acres of unused land, lying idle for purposes of speculation, where grass hoppers lay their eggs in enormous quantities. Farmers do not realize that by lodging complaint against land in the autum with the ento- mologist, the law gives mthorily to him to have the land plowed. - This destroys the eggs and prevents the increase in the number of “hoppers.” We are doing all we can to help in this crisis, but' the farmers should notify this office in the fall so that we can order the land land plowed in time to prevent a reccurrence of | the pleague next year.” GIRL HUSLED OVER BLUFF Resisted Attack Made on Her by Un- known ltalian.

Y., June 27.—Miss Min- nie Browne, a fifteen-year-old high school girl, with an enviable record in 8chool athletics, is-in & Yonkers hos- pital suffering from shock and serious injurfés received “when she ‘was at- tacked near her honie by an uynidenti- fled Italian and thrown over & cliff.| into the Hudson river after a fight against her agsatlant. - ‘Squads | Hce and deputies are seouring the lying districts in search of the max. Lwoods are as dry as tinder and un- .to drench the land, it will be hard wind from north to west, the fire would surely have crossed the road and might have burned down to the lake. the area burned over was logged several years ago and the slashings left on the ground. The pine and birch burned was second growth. Several days ago, Fire Ranger Shannon had warned the farmers clear up the slashings, but the work was not done, It is expected that the fire will burn out today A bad fire has been burning back of Lavinia for some time, but it was put under control yesterday. The less rains fall soon sufficiently hard to keep fires out. With the except- 1on of one light shower, no rain has-fallen in this section for three weeks. Gypsies Here Again.

While the shower was heavy and agcompanied by much thunder and lightnjng, the weather observer stated that it did not bring the month’s rainfall up to normal. Reports from up by Kelliher say that the country there received two good showers yesterday, but that they werelocal. The shower that fell here Thursday did not touch the Kelliher district. The Kelliher showers blew over us yes- terday afternoon and . evening. Forest fires are reported as burn- 'ing slowly in the upper part of the counties and that a good soaking rain will have to come before they can all be put out. Not much damage is being done, but the fires are persistent. 8§ Ma’yor Parker has come back from Kelliher and says that his lumber camp has been ‘rebuilt and is once more in operation. ! Fire Iu;fitnnqe written by C, J. Pryor, ; Authorities Say to Plow Up Hay Fields As Crop is Probably Ruined By Drouth. Farm authorities everywhere are advising the farmers to plow up their tame hay fields and all such other ground as they can and plant fodder corn at once. They say that without doubt, the prolonged heat and drouth have ruined the hay crop and that this is a serious thing for the stock and dairy farmer. The authorities say to prepare the ground as thoroughly as possible by plowing, dragging, and discing and plant from one-half to three-fourths of a bushel to the acre. Fodder corn properly cared for will take the place of hay crop and thus enable the farmers to keep their cows. Farmers are advised not to sell their cows, but to plant fodder corn. The drouth is general over the coun- try, so that farmers are warned not to count on buying hay this winter. Stockyard receipts in South St. Paul show that many find themselves unable to keep their cattle over the dry spell and the market is glutted. Tonight After Supper.
