received samples Of q number Of Ice

Prof. Ladd to ascertain II they would
stand the pure food test. He learn

EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA

70 HURT
Presiding Elder J.. G. Moore Of
Grand Forks, who was in the city
the drst Of the week, says that there
is an erroneous idea that the eastern
part Of the state can stand the pres
ent crop conditions better than the
western part. There are many new
Corners in eastern North Dakota, men
who came in from the east and bought
land at high prices. many Of whom
paid but part down. They will feel
the crop shortage badly.
'~rhere have been crop failures
ever since the year that Jacob sent
his sons into Egypt to buy corn, and
we will have them occasionally" }"
Mr.. Moore said. I'VE will have our
fat years and our lean years. But
North Dakota has Is years of pros
perity back of her, and one crop
shortage will not ruin her reputation
as an agricultural state.
IT remember when first arrived
in Minot, nine years ago, saw q
sign on a small shack, Drink while
you live, for you'll be long time
dead Minot had scarcely brick

fine blocks up and down the streets
