/ While many of the county seat
towns have been complaining this
fall that the smaller towns have
been getting the grain it is generally
conceded that a careful check of this
years shipments of grain against last
years will disclose the fact that they
all are far below last seasons figures
and the fact is none of them got the
grain. 1t may be in the farmers
hands but it is to presume it is not
in the country.
Miss Della Rentz arrived from St. |

dore and her cousin George Walter
]

F. C. Ash. for many years the
efficient and popular station agent for
the Great Northern railway company
at Chokio, but now with the same
company at New London, this state,
visited Chokio the first of the week to /
see how it looked after going repub
lican for the first time in it's history
without even the aid of a political
rally, and to renew old friendships
and say pater ave for his enemies.
The writer listened with much in
terest this week to a lady who had
been visiting friends in Morris and
was on her way to Chokio where she
said they owned a home which they
were anxious to sell on small yearly
payments Of seventy-five dollars per
year and six per cent interest and the
price asked for the property was less
than it cost them to build the build
ings on it. The party with whom
she was discussing the subject was
rather prejudiced against Canada as
a place to live but the lady was just
as much in favor Of Canada and
against Stevens county as the other
party was in favor of Stevens county
and against Canada. She said that
as soon as they could sell their home
in Chokio and their farm near Chokio
that she and her family would locate
permanently in Canada where they {
already own five sections of land on
one acre and half of which her hus-
band the past summer raised five
hundred bushels of potatoes. From
one hill of potatoes he dug seventeen,
on the scale they weighed just nine
cen pounds. She says there is short
time in mid-winter when it is very
cold but it is only short while.
Thus it is some people go there and /
go broke while others prosper and it I
appears to be so everywhere in every
cline and all conditions. Some people {
meet fortune and prosperity any
where and at whatever they turn their
attention while Otberf fail,
