Not Quite the Same.

A country clergyman vouches for
the truth of this story. Having arrived
at that point in the baptismal service
where the infants name is conferred,
he said. Name this child"

"original Story" she repeated in
clear, deliberate tones
Its very odd name, isn't It? Are
you sure you want him called by the
name of Original Story?'
"Origlnal Story-thats right"
SIS It a family nameT' the minister
persisted.
Named after his uncle, SIR" explain
ed the nurse,
And so as Original Story the little
fellow was christened. Some weeks
after this event the minister made the
acquaintance of the said uncle-a farm
laborer in another village-whose name
was Reginald Story Tauer.

fists.

The northern end of the valley oil
Summer Lake, in Southern Or, gou,
contains group of three or iouI
large springs which unite TO form Ana
River, the lrincipal feeder of the lake
from the south. These springs occur
in semi.arid region, where their
volume-about 100, 900 gallons min
ute-aud their constant flow throo gh
wet and dry seasons make them OBJ
jects of unusual interest and their
source has always been puzzle to
local Investigators.
Summer Lake valley is depression

conspicuous cliffs of basalt and on the
east by lower rims of the same ma
terial, One large stream, Chewaucan
River, rising in the wooded mount
aims west of the basin, discharges
iEto it through con spicuous canyon,
but the flow of this stream is less
than that of the great springs at the
head.of the valley, and large part Of
il escapes over the surface south ward
through Chewaucan Marsh into the
alkeline Lake Albert, which occupies
depression somewhat lower than
that partially filled by Summer Lake
The surface drainage into the basin
from the high, rocky. arid plateaus to
the east is small.
The temperatures Of the Ana River
waters is 90 per cent or more above
the mean annual temperature of the
region, indicate that the springs rise
from deI tbs 100 feet or more below
the surface; and as the alluvium that
forms the valley floor 10 probably a
mere veneer whose thickness is much
less than this, 1t is probable that the
waters rise from the underlying rocks
along one or more of the lines OF easy
passage afforded by the faults or
fracture planes that limit the valley.
But even IL the springs yield rock
waters rising from depths, the source
of these waters still remains unknown.
The biologists of the United States
geological survey who have been
studying the region rejected Mt once
the idea that the areas east and south
of the springs could furnish the water.

areas, and partly because the investi'

Nd TAR|ES MUST
FOLLOW THE LAW
Registrar After Some of Them
With a Sharp
Stick.

Notaries public, or some of them, are
to get a good prodding up. They don It
put enough into their certificates of
acknowledgement.
The matter has come up on Il re-
quest from Registrar of Conveyances
Merriam to Attorney General Hemen-
way as to his right to refuse an in
strument for record where the GER
tifcate of acknowledgment does not
in every particular comply with the
law.
The question has arisen mostly in
eases where the notary was not, prior
to the time of taking the aelnowledg-
ment acquainted with the person max
ing the acknowledgment. The fire.
quent practice in such eases Is for
some one, usually some person inter
ested in the trasactlon, to say tn the
notary that the person is 50 and so,
and thereupon the notary certifes that
so and so personally known 70 me,
etc. But the law directs j differ
ent procedure in such cases. 1t provides
a form of certlfcation wherein the
notary certifes that the person max
ing the acknowledgment was salts
factorily proved to him to be the per-
son described. by the oath of a credible
witness duly sworn for chat purpose,
the name of the witness being given
in each case.
There has been carelessness of late
in complying with this statute and
the Registrar wants to know about it.
The Attorney General has rendered
an opinion that the law must in all
cases be complied with and taat the
Registrar is not required to receive
deeds for record where the certificate
of acknowledgment does not comply
fully with the law.
AS notaries public are appointed by
the Attorney General and are removable
by him, there is a very summary way
of enforcing this requirement of COM
pliance with the law.

While it is we'll for the farmers

they can to destroy such pests, there
is not much grounds for a scare.
Otter Tail county seems to be Pc
culiarly afflicted with intermittent
grasshopperitis, but nothing worth
mentioning has come of it for over
thirty years. The statement that
there are just as many grasshoppers
there now as the year before the
grasshopper year means little or
nothing, for in this county there
were no more than the usual num-
Der Of grasshoppers before the first
grasshopper year. Furthermore,
it would take a more thoroly
trained bugologist than the average
farmer claims to be to recognize
the Rocky mountain grasshopper
after an absence of over thirty
years.

BUGOLOGIST PREDICTS
GRASSHOPPERS

Alarming prospects of a grasshop-
per plague next year are seen by
Professor F. l.. Washburn, state
entomologist, unless the farmers CO.
operate in avoiding the pest. He
suggests that the farmers who note
grasshoppers laying eggs this month
and early in October pillow the land
as late as possible after the eggs
have been laid and thus bury them.
1t is necessary to pillow all land if
the grasshoppers are found to be
laying eggs in enough quantities to
promise trouble. Unused land
must be subjected to the same pro-
cess. In ordinary seasons the plow-
ing may be done as late as May
or 5, if it cannot be done before.
Where necessary the state entomol-
ogist will visit farmers personally
or send an assistant, and he will
help in other ways, where possible,
to get rid Of grasshoppers.
Much uneasiness is felt in Otter
Tail county on account Of the grass
hopper situation. Grassho pper
have appeared in many places, but
arrived just as the crops were ripe
and consequently were unable to dc
much damage, except in occasional
fields of clover. One man who has
resided there IS years says the
grasshoppers are fully as thick a!
they were the year previous tt

Unfortunate Bow.

Menvil Strand, the unfortunate
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole
Strand, who was burned so severely
a year ago last Fourth, was again
taken to the Deaconess Home at
Minneapolis last Friday. He
seemed to be getting along very
we'll this summer and was around
playing with his young friends for
a while. A couple Of months ago
he was taken sick and it was neces-
sary to have an operation. For a
while after the operation the suffer-
ing lads case looked very doubtful,
but in time he began to get a little
stronger. When he arrived at the
hospital the doctors stated that
they could do nothing for him, so
they brought him back again on
Tuesday. The case has caused the
parents great grief and care, with
out mentioning the financial part
of it, and the sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to them
and the suffering one.-New Lon
