Once Was Big Town, But All Moved Away Final steps in the dissolution of Laprairie will be taken in three days, tvhen Eugene Arnold, postmaster, ivill send in his final reports and lock he doors of the office for the last ime. Village organization long since las been discontinued. With the removal of the name Trom the books of the postoffico de partment, Laprairie as a village will lecome only a memory. In the early history of that por :ion of the state Laprairie, because 5f its location at the junction of the Mississippi and Prairie rivers, be :arae the biggest town in its terri :ory. In the days when the logging in lustry was at its height and the rol .icking lumberjacks of the old type svere going into or coming out of J|e camps, Laprairie was a "roar- In• town with a population fluc tuating between 1,000 and 3,000. Millions of feet of logs were driven past it both on the Mississippi and :he Prairie. But it was not long before men with foresight recognized the latent power of the Mississippi grand rap ds, several miles up stream. Grand Rapids was born. Slowly the lusty lew town sapped the vitality of the Did. business changed Its hunting place, and many of the buildings arere moved. Then came the court house contest, which resulted in the establishment of the county's busl less at Grand Rapids. Since then Laprairie's decline has seen rapid. And so Mr. Arnold, the 'own'! chief booster, after locking :he door of the old postofflce build ng on March 31, cfossed the road, jnce the principal street of the vil ,age. to his little white cottage, :hereafter to devote his time to the :ultivation of his small farm, which ;omprises the greater portion of the ;ownsite. Now there is nothing left of La prairie but the empty postofflce and Mr. Arnold. —Grand Rapids dispatch :o Pittsburgh Press. Wrights Dreamed of Peace Made Certain by Planes Dayton. Ohio, July 11.

The big show, it is announced, is more comprehensive than ever, this season, and many hew And novel features are being offered for the first time. As in former years, every effort, it is said, has been made to corral fea tures that not only offer opportunities for picturesque display, but which also have the elements of daring and dan ger to an unusual degree. The Wild West features made famous by Buffalo Dill, are retained, but there are also many displays entirely new to Bor derland exhibitions. "Tex." McLeod, Chester Byers, Hank Durnell, Tommy Kernan and other noted Westerners lead what is declared to be the most daringly-rcekless bunch of roughrid ing and roping cowpunehers ever seen with a Wild West show. Jess Willard, who will make his first appearance here as the owner of the famous old Buffalo Bill show, will, it is announced, positively appear in person at both performances. He will participate in several of the Wild West numbers, and, instead of saving his sparring bout with Walter Mona han for the after show, will appear in ring costume in the big show and il lustrate, so far as possible, just how he won the championship belt from "Jack" Johnson. The preliminary pa rade takes place at 10:30. Makes Plea to Doctors to Rally Round Flag In an article In the current num ber of the "Medical Council edited by r>r. Thomas S.

Tou can also show your patriotism by eating only things that is plentiful, and also showing activity In canning. Just now the markets offer big induce ments for cutting the cost of living and putting aside provender for win ter. " The argument is that if the peo ple do not buy things that can be had now at a small cost the farmers will have no inducement to raise large crops next year. The local markets to-day were well supplied with this product. They came from nearby truck farms. Onions are also coming from Jersey and the South.

T. Camp bell of the State Department of Agriculture. "Nature is constructive In her -work on the whole though &t times she destroys ia order to reconstruct. It is, or should be the object of the farmer to aid Nature in her work of construction and to hasten the processes of construction. "The action of live roots in the soil is one of the natural ways of H-.1l improvement which has gener ally been lost sight of or ignored. The roots of plants small and great, permeating every particle of soil, put the soil in a state of cultiva tion. A short rotation in which an effort is made to keep live roots con stantly at work In the soil is an ex cellent practice. ' I believe one of the reasons why alfalfa is so beneficial as a soil im prover is due to the action of the roots in opening up waterways and providing for the admission of air to the soil. Timothy is a valuable soil impioving crop on the heavier soils, though we still hear many farmers condemning the timothy as a soil robber. The use of timothy sown with alfalfa as a soil improver is very marked at our farm. The tim othy makes a sod quicker and fills the surface soil with a mass of fine I roots quicker than any other plant Iwc can grow. The timothy forms a !
