Lamberton Star: There was

party in town this week who said
that he had just travelled through
four Of the corn growing states and
the best corn in his travels was what
he saw in Minnesota. Land men
who are here this week from Iowa
say that we have a better crop Of
corn here this year than they have in
that state.
Vesta Censor: Uncle Jim Arnold
celebrated his I'D birthday Wednes-
day, and when he celebrates he
intends that everyone he meets has
as good a time as he does, and if
they don't it is not his fault.
Uncle Jim isn't any older today in
looks or actions than he was ten
years ago, when the writer first met
him. and you had better leave him
alone when it comes to discussing
politics and general topics of the
day, because you will get the worst
of it every time if you don't.

ternoon the nine-year-old daughter

Pine City Poker: Why all this
fuss and calamity bowling? The
outlook for season of plenty was
never so enc ouragingly felt as at
present. If we didn't get tariff and
few other things reduced what's
the use of yowling or bowling? The
harvest moon is beaming DER such
an abundant crop in our fair land
that j. j. Hill has found it necessary
to advise the farmers to hold onto
their grain produce for future sales
and, incidentally-to prevent a
boxcar famine. We should rejoice
in the knowledge that we live in a
land of plenty.
