strustion by fire of the home. There is

dark picture-Morse & Lamb had writ

are booking orders freely not only for
harvesters and binders but for Irvine, the
indications being that largely increased
amount will be required owing to the
heavy crop. One dealer says he expects
a large late sale in harvesters as the
standing crop is so strong and heavy on
the ground that it will prove a serious
strain upon machines, and the weak ones,
which would go through an average
harvest, will succumb.

George Whitney made an extended
trip through the southern and western
portion of the county last week, and HI
says he never saw such crops of whea-
and oats-notably so in the towns o
Meters Grove, Spring Hill and Getty
But throughout the western Stearns, ant
in fact throughout this entire section o
country the small grains are giving
abundant promise. The critical season
10 yet to come, but with ordinarily goot
weather the crops will yield abundantly
The recent heavy rains have pointet
out the weak points in our streets ant
sidewalks as no amount of dry weathe
could. Commissioner Donley has don
some excellent work on many OF the pin
ciple streets, and has laid a large humble

face water runs upon the sidewalks, III
stead of under them, and the roadwa.
in places is deeply quilted by running
water. This has been a severe season OF
highways.
