Speak a good word for Minnesota
Crops Of all kinds never were better
Wheat is fair, and will surely be of an es
cellent quality. Barley is nearly harvest
ed and will be Of an excellent quality ant
first-rate yield. Oats, corn and potatoe
are just immense. We have stalk O
corn in our possession that measures II fl
inches and plenty more OF like dlmen
| sions can be produced. The outlook fl"
this portion of Southern Minnesota is ex
ira, and we can boast of as fine countr,
as exists in the west. Then why OF speal
good word for Minnesota, we say.

quite we'll, and that the limb was doing
finely. He speaks in tones of praise of hi
kind treatment while here, and also Of tn,
skilltul manner in which the limb was
set by DR.. Beaulieu. The DR.. gave hin
but little hope of saving the use Of hi
ankle joint, but he says he IS positive j
will be all right. The Dr. performed ,
fine piece Of surgery which is worthy o.
commentator.
