FLOWING IN FIELDS

FLOWING IN Fields
What would you think of a man
who would come to your office
when the thermometer registered 25
degrees below zero and the biz
zard was raging outside so that it
was difficult to see building "a
cross the street. And he should tell
you that coming through Kansas
three days before he saw men
and teams blowing in the fields in
that state. Could you doubt it?
certainly you would not say so if
you did. 1t was told for truth.

Reports reached the trade that In
some sections Of North Dakota and

ruined by hail Wednesday night and
Thursday. Several large insurance
companies with headquarters In Chi
cago received messages saying that
the crop was a total loss.
Most Of the hail damage was In the

crop in Bottineau county Is ruined.
