TIMELY SHOWERS.

The timeliness Of the rains in North
Dakota this spring has been matter
Of comment. They seem to come just
at the psychological moment and to
be more opportune than ever before ex-
perienced in the state. The result is
a most encouraging situation. The
conditions are nearly ideal at present.
While it is too soon to assert a bumper
crop is assured--it is certain that no
calamity is likely to be so serious as
10 prevent fair crop. The wheat has
advanced TO stage where 1t is be-
ginning to shade the ground. The
evaporation will be less rapid-and the
moisture now in the ground will be
held for a long period.
Even the most conservative farmers
are expressing their Joy and satisfac-
ton over present conditions.

THE BOOSTER.


The true booster is good citizen.
He boosts because God made him with
kindly soul-that likes to lend help
ing hand to every good work. He
boosts his city and his country by say
ing all the good things about II that
are true. He does the same for his
neighbor. When he sees his friend, his
neighbor, his fellow citizen climbing UP
the ladder of success he boosts--in-
stead Of knocking, He is a builder up
instead OF tearer down. He realizes
that the general prosperity means a
share for him. He knows that he must
also share in the general loss in the
long run. Every good work in his COM
munity has his good word-even il he
has no cash to give 1t. In that way
city and state OF boosters working
together can accomplish big things.

". l. Case Threshing Machine Co. de-
PENDANT and appellant.
Plaintiff signed written order for
the purchase of a threshing machine
Of defendant. On its arrival plaintiff
could not give security for It's pur-
chase price in compliance with the
order and delivery was not made. De-
fendant's agent for purposes of deliv-
cry and collection then sold plaintiff
the machine under oral contract at a
reduction for cash, the machine to be
tried and If not satisfactory, returned,
and pending trial the cash price was
deposited with such agent. The ma
chinery proved worthless. The agent
transmitted the money to the defend
ant who retains 1t. Plaintiff rescinded
the oral contract of sale and recovered
judgment for the amount paid includ-
ing freight.
Cd Held: The delivery under the
oral contract was not delivery OF the
machine under the written order, not
withstanding that such order by It's
terms forbade the agent substituting a
new contract Of sale therefor and that
the machine was delivered under new
and independents oral contract OF sale
CD That under the oral contract
plaintiff had the right to test such
machinery by trial and its acceptance
for such purposes was not acceptable
