The Devils Lake World tells Of a |
farmer who lost his crop, and went to
the banker to borrow $500 to carry him
through the winter. The banker point
ed out that If he loaned the $500, the
money would all be zone by spring, |
and the farmer would have nothing to
get started for another year. Instead
OF loaning the money, the banker told
the farmer to go and buy five COWS at
an auction sale, and he would pay for |
them. This the farmer did, and the
cows furnished him a living, brought
him an increase of five calves in the
spring. and furnished him a living
through the next summer. He is now
on the way to prosperity.

sumptiVe" broke parole at Medora a

= Munich Herald: The threshing in
the Munich vicinity and in almost all
southwestern Cavalier county will be
finished this week If the weather is
good. If anything is left it will be a
few scattered flax fields. Farmers are
already at work with their fall pIow-
ing. This season will give them ample
time to get all their fall blowing done
and it will be done early. This will
mean better and cleaner fields and a
bigger and better yield next year.
There was not a heavy yield any
where, but the grade was good and
prices tend to be better than last year.
| On the whole the year is as good as
last year, and for those who did not
get threshed out a year ago, a great
deal better.
