One, Just Klevaland, who has for some
little time been employed on the farm of
one of the leading residents of this town
ship, came near getting himself into
serious trouble the other day by making
bold Misrepresentation of facts to his
employer as concerning his business. 1t
was impressed upon him in such way
that he will not easily forget that in the
future it would be to his advantage to
try and be man enough to tell the truth.
We are having an exceptionally fine
spring, and sthere didn't ought to be a
single kick from the farmer. Especially
if this fine weather keeps up. From the
remarks that we hear all around farm
work is now about two weeks ahead of
whatit was last spring. Facts such as
these mean there will be big acreage
and that the crop will be handled in
such shape as to be easily taken care of
in the fall. Land was never in better
shape to put in crop and we can do
without rain for another month, if
necessary.
There is some talk among farmers here
of getting their seasons supply of Irvine

Machine Co. From what is learned Of
deals made last year by farmers to the
north. in Cypress township. the Irvine
made at Bismarck penitentiary is as
good an article as the product of the
trust and does not cost any more. if as
much. Ii is sold only in carload lots 50

BRA1N-FooD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour-
ish particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap-
pearance or prevent their coming by
taking regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d.
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purities the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at Donovan & Co.'S,
drug store. Price 25c and Is cents.
