Acquainted With.

Il met queer old woman charac-

lice Judge McGannon when talk had
drifted around to queer people one
meets, She was travelling with her
grown son, whom / had met in the
smoking compartment, and later on
| got talking with the old lady. She
spoke of several people she knew
here in Cleveland.
Did you ever happen to know
James H. Soandso?" ! asked her
casually. Judging from something she
had said that she did know him.

look. Well she replied. I don't
know whether TO say know that
man or not He's a queer sort, you
understandable kind of man that
nobody really knows. Why, | was
married to James Soandso, and lived
with him for four years, but | never

And the funny part of it, added

HARLAN LONG ON THE BENCH

John Marshall Harlan, who recently
celebrated the close of thirty-three
years service on the United States
Supreme Court bench, is one of the
most distinguished jurists in the coun-
try. He took his seat Dec. 10, 1877,
and his service has been twice as long
as that of any other member OF the
present court. Justice Harlan was
born In Boyle county, Kentucky, In
1888, and after studying law in Tran
sylvania College, he practiced at
Frankfort, KY, where for a time he
was county Judge. Later he practiced
at Louisville, and between 1861 and
1863 he served In the Union army az
colonel of the Tenth Kentucky regi
ment. For the four years following
he was attorney general of Kentucky.
and in 1871 and 1875 he was the Re-
publican nominee for governor of the

Harvesting Is On

Harvesting is now genera |
throughout the county and all
available energy is being utilized
around the farm. Most oats and
barley has been cut and consider
able wheat has been cut with the
binder during the week and some
heading was commenced. Pretty
much all of the southern half of
the county will be cut-the excep-
ton being rare. The light wheat
fields will go around five bushels
and the general average will range
around eight bushels. An occas-
ional large field will run over ten
bushels and patches more. Quite
few oat fields will run up to 25-
and 30 bushels, As a whole crops
will be better than anticipated two
weeks back. Hay is plentiful and
the quality is exceptionally good.
Mondays rain which was general
all over the county-the precipita-
tion ranging between one and two
inches-will round out sixty per
cent of the fax in fair shape and
and help the balance. Corn and
potatoes are forging right along
now and reasonable crop Of each
may be expected. Conditions in

A Well Kept Farm

Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Reuter-
and the editor and Mrs. Jones
stopped while out on an auto trip
one evening this week at the home
Of Herman Hanson six or seven
miles southwest Of town, and we
are going TO tell our readers some
ofthe things we saw growing about
that farm home in the line Of veg
citation.
The best farm garden we have
seen this season, willow trees 30
feet high that were started from
outings five years ago, about an
acre Of the densest and finest limb
ed young willows grown from out
tings four years ago we have ever
seen, any number Of cotton-woods
and box-elders from 30 to 40 feet
high, little box-elder trees COM
ing up from them all through the
garden and grove, about dozen
fine healthy growing spruce ever

walnuts growing from nuts planted

in the ground, over a dozen thriv-
ing lilac bushes, about 20 current t
bushes SO loaded with currents
that limbs are needing props, rasp-
berries, great punches of rhubarb,
a strawberry patch with vines so
luxuriant that at a distance they
resemble potatoes, wood vine about
the porch of the house that formed
a sun proof screen. This is not
half told. To walk through this
we'll planned wilderness of growth
is the only way to- get the correct
idea of it. Every home owner in
this part of North Dakota who is
in doubt as to the advisability of
growing trees. small fruits and
shrubbery are here advised to call
at Herman Hanson's home and see
what has been done there and in
cidently get a few pointers as to
how it was done.-TurtIe Lake

Late Foreign Crop Report

The foreign crop summary, as
compiled by Broomhall, follows:
United Kingdom-Harvesting is
progressing but yields on light soils
are being reduced as result of
the extreme hot weather. France
The yield of winter wheat is be-
low expectations. The spring
wheat crop is being damaged by
the extreme heat and drouth.
Germany-The wheat crop is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. A large part
of the rye crop is already harvested.
Rumanla-The wheat crop will be
a fair average one, but smaller
than last year. Bulgaria-The
wheat crop is estimated to be be-
low an average crop. Hungary
The quality of the wheat crop is
splendid. Russia-The outlook
for the wheat crop in the Volga
region and northeast shows no i'm
provement, being damaged by the
extreme Observation-Disclosures
has been general rains throughout
the country except in northern
Santa Fe, which has been bene-
fetal for the growing wheat crop"

Another Years Lesson

This year reenforces the lesson
for good farming, smaller farms
and less outlay. The net income
is where the profit is to be found
if there is a profit, besides which
is greater comfort to view three
acres with poor tilling, poor crops,
and a consequent net loss in farm
ing. Big strikes in farming are
not to be looked for any moro.
The thing to work for is TO 70
farm and arrange farm matters 40
to have q net income and profit
each year, and all the time - on
joying ones possession.
