A committee called at the Record Of.

red IN the face, and every squash crooks
its neck, and every onion wakes stropg in
anger. and every wheat field is shocked,
and the barley strokes its beard, and ev.
cry corn aches. In fact, surprise and re.
sentiment spread over the whole face of
nature. Such an idea is preposterous.
James p. Leo in Glendale Commercial: !:
man mp in our neighborhood, near
Merricourt, tells Of his experience with the
Russian thistle down III South Dakota,
where he says it originated in this north
western country. He says ii runs itself out
in about the fourth or fifth year. Next year
will be the fourth season for the pest here,
and we may see it begin to go the way the
wild mustard, the tumbleweed and things
like that have gone in times past. There is
certainly comfort and consolation in the
reflection.
