i There are few paper in the west that
have reached the prominence the of
Minneapolis Journal. This is proba
bly, due to the fact that no paper in
the west prints SO much news as the
journal. To be brief, the journal is
simply up to date, and should be
taken by all who want the latest
news in the best readable shape.
Farmers should stack their fax
straw in the best possible manner SC

Smith, of Heron Lake will soon an.
nounce that he will have parties here
to buy all the flax straw in the county,
and pay the highest market price
The better the straw is cared for the
better price it will bring. 7-2t
I have heard it reported that the
Board of health had given orders that
the school children should not drink
the city water furnished in the school

take. I believe that the city water is
safer to use now than the water il
many of our town wells.
