And it still rains once or twice in
awhile. What do We care so long as the
frost keeps away.
Just now some of the Berlin boys are
having quite little fun at the expense
of Johnny Schultz.
Around here most everybody is about
through haying and have turned their
attention to the harvest fields.
The new threshing outfit that c.
hrahn ordered during the summer has
arrived aud the krahns are expecting
TO have big run of threshlng right
along until it freezes up.
Big prices for wheat and fax this fall
will put lots of money into the pockets
of Berlin township farmers, who have
the finest looking stand of grain to be
found anywhere in Cavalier county.
1. kitchin has been enlarging and ad-
ding Improvements to his home this
summer in manner which gives the
family lots of room and added comforts
for the coming winter The kitchins
are the right kind of neighbors to have
and are doing we'll.
The people of Moscow and vicinity
were entertained one day recently by
witnessing set to in which the weapons
of defense consisted of broken spoke
out of buggy wheel and an old worn
out broom The two attacking parties
came out of the encounter without any
injury to body or feelings.
c. W. Toews now has fine baby boy
who put in an appearance with the
ripening of harvest. In few years the
boy will have got to be big enough to
help his daddy lot in taking care of
the crop Just now c. W. is all smiles
and has it figured out the little fellow

after he has grown some.
From Another Correspondent
Rev. C. J. Hill made flying trip up here
the other evening.
Fred Kruger and Herman Michlink
brought new Advance threshing outfit
here this week. We hope they will have
good success this fall
Jas. A. Ellefson has had little trouble
in getting his Milwaukee harvester start
ed at work, but is now cutting as wide
swath as any of his neighbors.
Attorney Atneosen has his new house
out here almost finished. The only
thing which he will need now will be
housekeeper. Which We hope he will
soon secure.
Mrs. 7. Amoth's mother came up here
the other day. They were somewhat
surprised to see her as she had not noti-
fed them Of her coming. She was &C
companied by Miss Peterson.
Rev. Ole Larson from Fargo is out
here Oh mission trip and taking the
opportunity to see and shake hands
with number of old friends. He thinks
that crops out here look fine.
1t is no wonder that Martin Amoth
had such d beautiful smile on the other
day. 4 new son was born unto him and
that's enough to put smile on anyone's
face. Wouldn't you think so:
Most of the barley is cut around here
and we are hard at work harvesting the
wheat in order to get it safe before affect
ed by rust, and Jack Frost is likely to
happen along any of these cold nights.
Ole Enger is putting up quite barn.
He will certainly have enough room for
his horses and COWS now. He has also
made quite an improvement on his
|granary by taking off the old hay roof
and putting on boards in its place.
Jas. A.1Ellefson hauled his engine Ito
Langdon the other day by horse power
to get it repaired for the falls threshing.
He said he would steam it up and make
it pull itself back. 1t ought to be in
better shape coming out than going in
so it will be an easy matter to steam it
up and save horsehesh.
Sam Braaten and Ed Hill are two
fellows around here who have invested
in new binders this year. Ed. Hill made
the investment on account of his old
binder having met with an accident in
upsettng not long ago so that there was
nothing for him to do but buy a new
one. Sans binder was getting little
too old for use again this season and it
has been replaced by one of the best to
