Rhame, N. D.. Aug. 24.-Har-
vest is here now and those having
grain in are busy cutting. The
weather SO far has been most favor
able for the filling of the. grain,
and corn is growing remarkably
fast for having been planted SO late
and in spring breaking. G. E.
Bergquist and Oscar Edberg have
corn planted about the middle of
June, and on rough spring break
ing, and it now measures between
Z and 8 feet. So we all are more
than satisfied with the crop pros
poets. Some shock threshing has
been done in the older localities and
we are anxious to find out what the
different yields will be.
P. G. Thompson and Lars Week
left for Bismarck, N. D., to look
around for work. They wheeled"
from here and across the country to
Dickinson. A card was received
from them the other day, stating
that Week had secured work with a
welldigging machine, but Thomp-
son had not obtained any work. He
will try to get a job running a
threshing engine or tending sep
arator. Mr.. Thompson came from
Kandiyohi county with recommen-
dations as one of the best engineers
and separator men in the county.
John Guam has been laid up for
over a week with felon on his
right hand. He is at present seek
ing medical aid at Rhame, and we
hope he may soon improve, as this
is an expensive ''lay-off, for MIR.
Guam has about 40 acres of ripe
grain to cut.
George Roen left for Aberdeen,
IS. D >, to look for work some time
ago, and as we have not heard from
him since he left, we hope he has
secured employment. His intention
was to get job running thresh-
ing engine.

Efforts will be made to organize q

in this vicinity, as the settlers are
as rule Scandinavians.
