look for an attack by land as we'll as

Why Not Sell 1t?
Why not sell the state fair to some

its troubles? It was reported two

man now?-Cambridge North Star.

But He Doesn't.

Are All Successful
The various creameries throughout
this section of the state have held
their annual meetings and all of them
show a substantial increase in busi-
ness over the preceding year. The
showing made by all of them is ex-
ceedingly good considering the dry
season, and had it not been for this
drawback the increase would have
been phenomenal.-Becker County
Journal.

Not the Only Good Crop.
Probably the golden west may be
able to produce more fruit than Min
nesota, but when it comes to pure,
sparkling, cooling crop of ice we can
discount the whole western coast. Ice
couple of feet thick looks pretty
good to the dealer as we'll as con-
sumner. And another beauty of this is
that it is always good crop, never
being wiped out by drouth or storms.
Minnesota is good enough for u.s.

iron ore on their land in Guyana
range, and which will pile up addi-
tional millions to their surplus. If a
poor newspaper man had owned that
land there wouldn't have been iron
within hundred miles of it.-St.:
