Egeland, N. d, May 22.-To The Fo-
rum: A good soaking rain the first Of
the week has put a wonderful smile
on the faces Of the farmers, for is has
benefited crops wonderfully. The
wheat has taken on a root that nothing
short Of a cyclone could destroy, and
with a stretch of good growing wealth
er, ought to come along in good shape.
Practically everything but the flax has
been seeded up to this time, and that
viii go in rapidly from now on. Gar
den truck has taken a good start, and
the prospects for q good garden sea-
son were never better.
John Eggen, the popular Olmstead
implement dealer, has purchased a
new automobile and al present en-
gagged in sundry tasks In getting the
~critter to go. It Is reported that one
day recently it reared UP and bit him
in the ear. At ny rate his face was
bruised and his a cut. Other new
automobile buyers recently are Mr..
Johnson of Crocus, Hickman and
Clausen OF MELVILLE, John Hunter Of
Egeland, with more coming. The au-
tomobile age is surely on.

The county commissioners have beer
. in session this week., t~ransacting 8
large amount of business Bids were
opened for a great deal OF road work
! and we understand the Fargo firm
were given a large contract for meta,
: ~cuiverts. A great deal of road worl
will be done this coming summer
! There should be some automobile Ii.
I cense money to spend, and we shoult
9 like to see it, all spent on one public
t~horoughfare running in each direc,
I ton through the center of the county
This putting a touch here and there il
many places is but an aggravation
ind we believe the one road plal
would suit all the automobile men, tn,
ones who are paying for 1t.
