AROUND THE COUNTY.
Items Of Interest Taken from the
Country Papers.

Mllroy Echo: Mr. and Mrs. j. w.
Morgan of Slayton, who visited last
week at the Scott and Morgan homes
in Underwood, left Friday noon for
their home.
Dawson Sentinel: The government
has made thorough investigation
and finds that the cooperative
creamery yields the largest returns
to the farmer for his butter fat. In
spite of that, farmers around DaW-
IN persist in sending cream to the
cities while their own plant is going
to decay.
New Ulm Review: A meeting Of
citizens will be held at Turner Hall
tomorrow evening for the purpose
of arranging for New Ulm's partici-
patton in the anniversary celebration
at Fort Ridgely on August I'D.
Much is expected of New Ulm on
this occasion and it is desired there
fore that the attendance at the meet
ing tomorrow evening be as large
and representative as possible.
Cottonwood Current: E. I. Max
son and family are enjoying visit
from his sister, Maud Weldon, of
Wabasso, also his mother. Mrs, E. T.
Maxson of Marshall. w. G. Wei
don, candidate for clerk of court of
Redwood County. is expected here
Sunday to join the party. Mr.. Wei
don is kept pretty busy these days
telling Redwood county people how
good he is, as there are five or six
men out for the same office.
Hutchinson Leader: The county
board of equalization ran up against
hard proposition this week in at
tempting to equalize the real estate
assessment. The q assessors of the
county each had his own idea of val
ues and listed land all the way from
S11 to $25 per acre. The state tax
commission in trying to get land as
sessed at one-half full value tangled
things up badly and had better wait
ed until they could have got it put
on the rolls at it's full value.
In one of the most sensational and
interesting games ever played in
that section Of the country, Buffalo
Lake defeated Olivia, Z to 6, on the
26th ult. The battle lasted twenty
innings. Four times during the
contest the score was tied and not
until the twentieth round could the
deadlock be broken. Leonard, the
18-year-old slab artist for Olivia,
made a remarkable record, tanning
twenty-four batters, passing out one
and allowing but four hits during
the game.
New Ulm Review: Fred Meier,
having resigned his position as man.
ager of the business of the Minneso-
ia Seed company, left yesterday for
North Dakota to accept the manage
ment of the seed department of a
farm Of 10000 acres near Armenia.
The position is an important and re-
sponsible one, but is likewise direct
ly in line with Mr.. Meier's inclina-
tons and training, and we have no
doubt that splendid results will at
tend his efforts. His successor with
the Minnesota Seed Co. has not yet
been named.
Olivia Times: On Saturday morn
ing a slight explosion in the work
house of Helms & Co. caused fire to
start in the room where the oils of
the firm are kept. Thru the pres
ence of mind of Mr.. Helms and en-
ployees the doors and windows of
the room were at once closed, thus
shutting off the draft, until the fire
company appeared on the ground.
By good heroic work on their part
the city was saved from what
seemed impending disaster. The
fire had good start around the
stands holding the tanks and barrels
of oil.
New Ulm News: Many of the
farmers from this vicinity and from
the upper end Of the neighboring
county Of Nicollet went to st. Peter
Monday to induce the board of
equalization to lower assessments on
land which has been under water
since May from the excessive over
