Since the late primary when Marion had them all guessing on the Recorder situation, he has been devoting his time to real estate and has made some big sales and handeome profits. The Journal-Democratreporte that @ Johnson county farmer rajsed 100 tons of alfalfa on 30 acres of ground - and realized $12.00 per ton for the crop. Twelve hundred dollars on thirty acres is not bad, and eepecial- ly when it is so little labor and trou- ble. The month of December which has just past was remarkable for its cloudy weather, high ‘temperature and entire absence of snow. Meteoro- logical Observer Dr. Menees reports during December buteight fair days, that fs days on which the sun shone practically allday. Four days were partly cloudy and 19 days were cloudy.

Brown, of Pleasant Gap, who shot up that little village several months ago and terrorized {ts citizens, and who started in to take Butler a week or 80 ago, but concluded that discre- tion was the better part of valor and beat our night policeman to astand- still in a foot race, was arrested by the Rich Hill police Monday night and landed in the “cooler”. Brown aspires to be s bad man from bitter creek and the place for would-be bad men fn an enlightened community is behind bars, for his own eafety, to prevent some good citizen from fill- ing his anatomy with lead. Mr. W. V. Wills, of Pittefield, Ills., who has the dredging contract on the south end of the drainage die- trict, arrived Friday, and in com- pany with J. F. Kern, of Butler, went over this section of the pro- posed ditch. Some of the material is already on the ground and other etoff ison the way. Work will be commenced at once and Mr. Wills is of the opinion thatin 18 months the entire work will be completed. It would require unusual weather and extraordinary high water to hinder the project after the boate once get started —Rich Hill Review. Senator W. H. Anthony, who re- cently turned over the business of the New Milling Co. to his successor, Ed. W.

Barker, who has been acitizen of Sproce township for 47 years, recently leased his farm, had a sale and left Monday with his wife for Meridian, Idaho, where they havea son living. They will try that coun- try fora year, and if they are pleas. ed will locate, otherwise they will re- turn to Bates county. The physicians of thecountry claim that the most beneficial law which Congress has paseed for years is the pure food law, which went into effect Tuesday. As this law only affects interstate business, it will be neces- sary for the general assembly, which meets this week, to pass a similar law to make the national laweffective in this state. There should be no time lost in getting such a bill -with an emergency clause .—Fulton Telegraph. Ballard Notes. J. B.
