GLENWOOD, MIOH. 



According to the Cass County Week- 

 ly, "E. H. Hitchcock, the Glenwood 

 dealer in decorative material, has stored 

 at his warehouse in Crawford county, 

 this state, and also upon the reserva- 

 tion of the Menominee Indians in Wis- 

 consin, over $12,000 worth of supplies, 

 all of which have been sold and are 

 being shipped as occasion demands. 

 Much of this material consists of ferns, 

 gathered in the swamps of the northern 

 country, although a considerable amount 

 has been gathered around Glenwood. 

 This is sorted and packed by Mr. Hitch- 

 cock 's agents and sold in Chicago most- 

 ly, although other cities handle it. 



"Mr. Hitchcock started his business 

 at Glenwood, and would have confined 

 all its shipping to that point, but was 

 unable to get favorable express rates 

 and had to try some other means of 

 shipping, which was to sort and send 

 out from the places where the supply 

 was gathered, thus giving employment 

 to people away from here largely, in- 

 stead of at home. He has been extreme- 

 ly successful in his operations, and 

 when he leased the privilege on the 

 Menominee reservation was able to 

 promptly give the $2,000 bond the gov- 

 ernment required that he would confine 

 his efforts there to this business." 



WATEEBUBY, CONN. 



Walter, the 2-year-old son of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Scott Kasmussen, on the Bradley- 

 ville road, died January 27, the result 

 of falling into a pan of scalding water 

 on the morning of the preceding day. 

 After the children had been dressed 

 and were all supposed to be at play in 

 the greenhouses conducted by Mr. Eas- 

 mussen, Mrs. Kasmussen prepared to 

 wash the kitchen floor. She had set 

 the pan of water down, leaving it for 

 a few moments in the course of her 

 preparations, when suddenly she heard 

 crying and returned to the kitchen to 

 find one of the older children with the 

 baby in her arms, which she had rescued 

 from the hot water. The child had 

 toddled into the house and, falling back- 

 ward, fell into the scalding water. His 

 back and legs were entirely scalded, 

 and though medical attendsCnce was 

 quickly called and everything done that 

 could be, he succumbed to his injuries. 

 He was an unusually bright little fellow 

 and the deepest sympathy is felt for his 

 bereaved parents. 



Lynchburg, Va. — E. B. Carruthers has 

 started business as a florist, with head- 

 quarters at 52 Law building. 



I have U89d the Imperial Plant Food, both 

 In Powder and Biscuit form, and have alv ays 

 fouTd it safe and reliable, as well as very 

 marked in its effects on all classes of planU 

 on which it has been used. For the commer- 

 cial florist or private gardener who needs a 

 really high-grade and quick-acting fertiliier, 

 there is nothing superior to the Imperial 

 Plant Food. Many skilled growers have been 

 using it for years, and I have yet to meet one 

 who does not commend it.
