Eastern parties are making
inquiries as to the establishment
at Lennon of a flax fibre mill.
Such an establishment would help
materially to turn into coin a
valuable byproduct of the farm.
This part of the country is natur-
ally in the flax producing belt,
and with the efforts now being
made on all sides to keep the
seed pure and virile, and also
prevent the soil from develoring
the disease germs that prey on
the plant, it will remain in the
flax belt for a long time TO come.
Every effort should and will be
made to secure the proposed
factory for Lennon and it's
surrounding territory.
Saturday morning Joe Burgum
had a serious fall. while stepping
off the west going train at
Mcintosh, and was brought home
in an unconscious state with the

ing in convulsions. Later under
the best of care and atte 1tion
which his wife and DR.. Strang

quiet, but he continued urcol-
scious throughout Sunday and
until Monday afternoon, when he
after lapse of 63 hours of un-
consciousness, awoke, with his
mind apparently clear and ready
