That he was very young and very en-
thusiastic needed no other substantiation
than the eager light in his eye and upward
tilt of his square, Well-Shaped chin. He
had entered the field of modern journalism

tell on the right side.
The old newspaper man had looked at
him earnestly for moment and then away
to the town clock, and the spires and stars
beyond il, and had proposed "a bite" The
young and enthusiastic person reflected
upon what sordid material creatures some
members of the profession" allowed them
selves to become. and never dreamed that
the older man had dined fully only an hour
before, but in his impulse TO be friendly TO
this fledgling and his fearsome desire not
to be the one TO give the topping touch TO
his house of cards, he could at the moment
think of nothing else.

b. c., you know, such historians have been
appointed, and no one but themselves is
allowed TO look upon the records until the
passing of the dynasty under which they

tried TO coerce these faithful scribes into

Weekly Summary of Conditions Thru

The weekly weather bureau report
on climatic and crop conditions in
Minnesota. is summarized as follows:
the week in northern portions, but farther
south there were rains on the oath and
25th, but unevenly distributed as to
amount, the heaviest being in the south
eastern counties, where the soil was tloro-
ly soaked and some corn fields were some
what washed. In the early and middle
portions Of the week the temperatures
were low for the season, the frost point
being approached in many places on the
morning Of the 26th, but in the latter
part Of the week the temperatures we're
higher. In the Red River valley wheat
and oat seeding Is finished; a good deal
of barley has been seeded during the week
and flax, potatoes and fodder crops are
being seeded. The early seeded wheat and
oats are growing well, but rain is needed
for the late sown grains and for pastures
and hay fields on the drier lands. In the
central and southern portions wheat, oats
and barley are growing we'll and stooling
satisfa ctorily. Corn and potato planting
are we'll advanced, and the early planted
are growing well, with the most advanced
fields being cultivated, tho the cool wealth
er has not been favorable for corr
growth Much Of the early planted corr
had insufficient vitality to withstand the
GOODNESS of the weather and soil, and con.
siderable replanting is being done. Grass
is generally growing well, and the hay
prospect is good. Apples, plums and the
small fruits are in bloom, and the frui
seems to be setting abundantly in mos
places.
