MIR. A. II Halves, representing the
American Railway and Commercial Adj
vertising Company is in the city canvas
sing for one of his superb combination
writing desks to be put into the Saul
paugh. The desk is Is feet in length
| feet in height with two French plate mir.
| rors each 2lx42 inches. The directory
| position of the desk is composed of cards
of leading business houses deliberately
embellished in the most artistic and I'M
ique manner on glass, and is certainly
| the handsomest piece of furniture of the
kind ever produced. As this desk is to
be constructed in way to make it per-
manent, it affords an excellent mode OF
advertising and one that time will not
efiace. We notice that several business
men have already secured space, and as
Mr.. III. calls upon others he Will prove
the statement here made by u sample
frame and advertisement which he car
ries with him. All the leading hotels
in the country are now supplied with
this handsome desk and it is to be hop
ed that the new Saulpaugh will not be
the exception.
Minneapolis Journal: cast Dairy
Commissioner Howard-The dry, hot
winds that have prevailed in southwest
damaged the corn crop very materially.
Especially is this the case on the high
rolling fields and on sandy soil. The
ears are short and are glazing over and
drying up before they are filled out.
Fields protected by timber or those that
are planted on the bottom lands are not
affected so much, and they promise a
large yield"
Is it any part of the duties of an assist
ant dairy commissioner to run down the
crops of Blue Earth county. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Howard was reported as
telling about "a terrible drouth" that
was affecting things in this county, and
now 1t is "the dry, hot winds" In spite
ofsuch prevaricationsS outhwestern Min
nesota willcome to the front with the larg-
est crop of corn in its history, the same as
it has already done in wheat and other
grains. Howard was probably thinking
of cheese or butter milk.
