products tastefully arranged. D. n.
Lachance arranged the articles and
did good work. Many thousand slices
of Morrison county bread and butter
were given away, justifying the signs
placed by Geo. LaFond, "Morrison,
the Bread and Butter County," The
products compared very fsvorably and
In many cases far surpassed the ex-

tame and native grasses attracted es-
pecial attention.

people with bread baked in his county

claim to having the finest macaroni

threshed wheat as proof. The booth

consumption. Some immense black

is called to a white radish which
weighs ten pounds and is certainly
a monster of its kind.
St. Paul Dispatch: Morrison county
dubs itself the ''oread and butter

assertion, there are loaves of bread
being cut into slices, buttered and
handed to the wayfarer. Needless to
say, this booth is thronged with Wis.

counties side by side, Morrison and
Houston, one an old county in the

Wadena Tribune: A few days since
the Twin City papers gave space to an
article purporting TO have been cent
from Cass Lake in which the state
ment was made that Mr.. A. L. Cole
of Walker, had decided not to enter
the contest for the republican congress
sional nomination, and that he had
patched up q truce with Congressm n
Buckman and would throw his influ.
ence to the latter. We now learn that
this article was a lie out Of whole
cloth. written by one Of Mr.. Buck:
mans federal appointees. The fact
that We never believed the lie does
not lessen our surprise that such tac-
tics should be resorted to at such an
early stage in the congressional game.
Mr.. Buckman may be renominated
and re elected, but methods such az
this will not help him. And inas-
much as the authorsh ip of the article
has been traced to Its source 1t might
not be q bad idea to communicate
the facts to Warrington and let the
national administration decide wheth-

forth into the glare of political life.
