During the thunder storm Tuesday

A heavy shower of rain accompanied

Agents Of the Great Northern are to

Two Kanaas farmers disputed about

similar cases in these United States

In connection with the article in an
other column which explains how a
farmer may determine the dew point
each evening and thereby determine
whether there will be frost before
morning or not, we would add that the
railway agents along the line of the
Great Northern have received instruc-
lions to hoist a danger signal any
night when there is danger of frost.
The agents receive notification of such
an event from the weather bureau at
Moorhead, The danger signals have
not arrived here yet but Mr.. Stevenson
expects them every day..

mine in which deceased was engaged
as an engineer. Mrs. Byers who had
been visiting here for the past month,
left Immediately for her home, accom-
panied by her brother. The afflicted
wife of less than year has the heart
felt sympathy of the entire community
