And Then It Rained.

An average of over twenty-five hun
dredths of an inch of rainfall daily
since June 1 breaks the record. The
precipitation since May has aver
aged two-tenths of an inch. The to-
tai fall in that time being 1923 in
ches. Add to this the 1.01 inch fall
in April and it makes a total of 1874
inches since April 1. The record as
kept by Archie Unumb is April 1.O1
inches, May 2.53, June 6.77, first TWEEN
ty days of July 5.93. Add to this ex-
cessive rainfall the fact that the great
majority of days since May 1 have
been cloudy and the temperature low
makes an unusual season up to date.
Farmers have experienced two very
serious difficulties. One has been
their inability, owing to rain, to cult
vate corn and potatoes. The other is
the impossibility of curing hay and
getting it in stack or NOW in an un
damaged condition. Usually when the
wind turns to the west fair weather
is the prediction. This season, howev
er, it seems to have made little diff
ference from which direction the vino
came, the rain came also.-Alexan

County Agent Retained.

The Board of County Commission
ers voted unanimously at their meet
ing Monday for the retaining of Mr..
A. L. Norling as county agent for an
other year.
AS was expected the county agent
question aroused considerable inter
est both on the part Of those favoring
his retention and those who opposed
it. Those opposing the county agent
presented a petition of about coo
names and those favoring his reten'
ton presented petitions containing
about 500 Names.
Both sides were represented by
speakers who advanced their views
on the question. The board was
about evenly divided on the question
but the enthusiasm and careful pre-
sentation of their cause won the day
for those favoring the agent. It wat
decided that after the annual meet
ing next year popular vote would
be taken to determine whether a ma
jority were in favor of it or not.-El

CHURCH WILL COME
WHEN sALo DON GOES
Alberta's Distinction Soon to Fade
According to Methodist and
Lutheran Plans.

49,
Lutheran Plans.
Alberta's distinction as churchless
town with one saloon to help guide
the moral sentiments Of the commun-
ity is soon to be thing Of the past.
The saloon was sentenced to death
some time ago and will expire along
about the first of the year. In its
place Alberta is to-have two church
organizations with church building
and it is very likely two buildings
will come quickly.
German Methodists in the town of
Pepperton have a flourishing church
organization which is looking for a
church site in Alberta. It is their
plan to move the church to town for
many urgent reasons, and according to
arrangements now pending will share
the church with the Lutherans of
whom there are many in and around
Alberta. All this has been thoroughly
discussed by Alberta parties interest
ed in church work, and it is possible
plans will mature in time to hold first
regular services in the village about
the first of the year.-Morris Tribune.

Survivors Of First Minnesota.

Eight survivors of the Last Man
Club of Co. B. First Minnesota met in
annual banquet at Saltwater on We'd
nesday, July 81. One of these was
P. o. Hail. of Atwater. There was
some discussion as to what DISPOSE
ton should be made of the bottle of
wine which has been cherished for
many years with the idea that the last
man to survive should open and drink
it. 1t was thought that he might be
a prohibitionist, and in any event
would not be in a mood to drink it on
the anniversary date. The question
was tabled for future action.

Willmar Backs Out.

The long-heralded and much looked
for base ball games between Willmar
and Spicer are not to be. The games
were scheduled to take place on Sun
days, July Is and Aug. 8, and without
doubt would have drawn enormous
crowds. It took a great deal Of per-
suasion in the first place on the part
Of the home boys to arrange a game
with them and it was not until the
Spicer boys had lost game or two
that they consented to play.
Spicer has been playing some ball
lately, Ronning is in fine shape and
has splendid support. It was noticed
that a number Of Willmar fans came
out last Sunday (July 49, to root for
Clara City but retired from the field
very quietly at the close of the game
and Monday the manager of the local
ball team received a note cancelline
the games. No reasonable excuse was
given for their backing out and it Is
supposed that "the speedy boy" show
ed more speed than they cared tc
face. The excuses given for not play
ing :re childish and are affording not

Beware Of Overdrafts.

An important notice was received
by the state banks of this city last
week, from A. H. Turritin, state super.
intendent of banks. In substance the
notice said that the commissioner of
internal revenue has published a ruling
affecting the creation or increase OF
an over draft. All checks that in.
crease or create an over draft at the
bank where they are drawn, are an &C.
knowledgement Of the debt only, and
must be stamped accordingly. In 9th.
er words at the rate of two cents for
every 500 or fraction thereof.
Violation Of this rule renders the
person drawing the check liable to q
fine of 5000 for every offense.
All bank depositors should bear this
in mind and act accordingly.

d utLl0 amusement among the nome
team Green Lake Breeze.
It would appear from the foregoing
article that Spicer has an idea that
cold feet" was the reason for Will
mars calling of the game scheduled
for last Sunday. In fact the spicer
manager admitted as much in q phone
conversation. It is an annual cry at
Spicer that Willmar wont play them,
that they are afraid, and that If the
teams ever meet Spicer will win cas-
lily, etc., etc. In the first place the
Spicer infield is no place to play a
ball game. When hard hit ball stops
before it gets to short stop, 1t can
readily be seen that something is rad
ically wrong with the ground. In the
second place, what's the use of TAX
ing lot Of perfectly good Willmar
money out to Spicer and let their ball
team rake it into the treasury? A
game at Spicer might draw 500. But
it is doubtful. Last season the teams
played there. and Willmar received
$36.25, or sixty per cent Of the gate
receipts, and then more than half the
crowd was from this city. Spicer
playing in this city wouldn't draw a
$25 crowd. Belgrade has beaten
Spicer, and they are a better drawing
card, therefore why not take the best
means of replenishing the treasury.
The Spicer team is composed of Arne-
son and Lipsit of Atwater, a couple Of
New London men and the rest from
Spicer. Six of the Spicer team play.
ed on the Atwater team that Willmar
defeated, and Willmar faced better
pitching than Spicer can show, SO
why play Spicer, when there is moth
ing in it for Willmar, either from a
financial standpoint or in the glory
of winning.
Kandiyohi lost two games during
the past week, the first to Atwater last
Thursday evening by score of 10 tc
1. Gordhamer pitched for Kandiyohi
and Ronning for the winners. On Sun
day Darwin defeated them by a to
2 score, in fast and exciting game
played at Kandiyohi. Handy scored
once in the first inning and held the
lead until the sixth, when the visitors
tied the score. Darwin scored anoth
er in the seventh, and Handy tied Il
in their half, but in the 9Th Darwin
put the game on ice by scoring three
runs. Walt Erickson pitched for the
losers, and got away in great style
but his support was poor at times

ease VIII Not Spread.

Fielding Whitaker of All North
Eighth street, who has been sick since
last Friday with smallpox, is getting
along nicely, said DR.. A. W. Norris,
who is waiting on the patient, today.
Whitaker is 81 years old.
The young man became i'll last Fri
day night after returning from Soda
liza. He had been there visiting his
father who is sick with smallpox.
Mrs. Benta Whitaker, mother of the
sick man, said this morning that her
son had the smallpox about fifteen
years ago.
The Whitaker home has been quar-
antined. Owing to the lightness of
the attack, Doctor Norris said there
was not much danger of the disease
spreading. No other cases have been
reported.
Some students enrolled in the Short
Course in agriculture, who were
rooming at the Whitaker home, have
been vaccinated. The short course
students are being vaccinated this
week.
