had no occasion to complain of scarcity
Of harvest %help-and a pretty good class

f%orehanded Cavalier county farmers who
will have their harvesting all done and
busy blowing by August 25th which is

A fire, supposed to have started among
loose hay and straw at the rear of the
Ohlheiser property, occupied by e. H
Durbin and family on north Fifth street,
called out the fire department about
four o'clock Monday afternoon. The
blaze had caught the barn and other
o%utbuildings when the alarm was given
by neighbors, who had been attracted by
the smoke, but it was put out with a few
pals of water without serious results.
Had the fire occurred in the night time
the chances are a serious confederation
would have resulted.
