Hail took a tremendous toll of crops,
and storms, hitting here and there in
southern. McHenry county, in Wells

ties, as we'll as Ward county, are re-
veafed by the more recent reports.
That the Renville county storm also
extended east, cutting through Bot

Near Hamar, a son of Ole Borgeson
was killed, and Mr.. Borgeson himself
sustained a broken leg, when every
building on his farm was demolished.
Near Tolna, a Catholic and Luth-

At Antler, a terrific storm Of hail

by lightning firing one Of the buildings
in the city.
Shortly after o'clock bolt struck
the DR.. Virgo drug store setting fire to
the structure. The flames spread rap
idly to other buildings in the line of
the wind.
The Dickey Reporter which was
about to issue its weekly edition, suf-
fered a total loss. Among the places
destroyed were:
The barber shop, the postoffice
block, The Reporter newspaper plant

extended down nearly to Finley and
tremendous toll was taken Of small
buildings.
Between Sheyenne and New Rock
ford, hail celaned up much of the
crops. Some hail also fell in New
Rockford.
Another hail storm hit west of Karls-
rhu, which is about so miles north
west of New Rockford. In that storm
many farmers lost all their grain.
Bremen and Hamburg seem to have
been in the midst of another hail storm
while Brantford. Dundas and Tiffany
also were hit.
Between Fessenden and New Rock
ford, an automobile party was hit by
the wind, being overturned into the
ditch.
Anamoose also was visited by the
storm. For 20 minutes the wind blew
violently there, causing considerable
damage. No rain and practically no
lightning accompanied the storm.
Reports indicate that north and
west of Anamoose very heavy toll
was exacted by hail. Many farms re-
port almost a total loss. All small
buildings in the path Of the storm, in
cluding a great number of barns, were
damaged more or less. many being
entirely wrecked and shattered. 1t Is
reported that in one case a number Of
horses within fence becoming fright
ened at the storm ran into the barb
wire fence and were in some cases
mortaIly wounded. At this time it is
believed that only part of the loss
and damage has been reported and
when all reports are in many thous-
ands of dollars worth of losses will be
added to the thousands already re-
ported.

DRAINAGE
MEETING
NEXT WEEK
County Drain Board Will
Meet With Farmers at
Davenport Saturday.
PROPOSITIONS OUTLINED
Some of Largest Farms in
State Within District that
Will Be Effected.

Next Saturday the Cass county
drainage board and County Surveyor
Samuel Crabbe will hold a conference
with the farmers Of the southern sec
ton of Cass county at Davenport, at
which meeting propositions designed
to relieve the conditions ina that Sec
ton will be discussed. The meeting has
been called for 9 o'clock.
In speaking of the territory that il
is proposed to drain, Surveyor Crabbe
stated that the area included about
10000 acres of land that it now drain
ed by only one canal, and 1t has been
the inability of this canal to handle
the water that has caused the mum
dation of a large area Of this terri
tory, in seasons such as this one and
last year.
The area in question lies between
Mapleton and Kindred and in the vi
cinity of Davenport and Warren. In
this district it is estimated that of the
TO- 900 acres, there is not more than
1000 acres on which the wheat will be
cut this season.
The territory also embraces soms
of the best farming lands of the state

some of the largest and best farms of
the state were included in it, in

for July, 1915. amounted to $17,476.61,
making a gain Of exactly $9,779.93.
The gain in the postal receipts is
probably one of the best gauges Of the
business done in Farago and shows
what gain there has been in the past
twelve months.
Want More Room.
Postmaster Wilkinson said today
that he was making negotiations for
the increase of the rooms used by
the mailing department of the parcel
post section OF the office. At the pres

that an effort is being made to

Have you ever read the story

TT you have, you will agree
with me when | say there are al
together too many Jeklys and
Hydes today. Ii you have not

shell. Dr.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde
were one and the same man. He
was Dr.. Jekyl when among his
friends and respected people, but
was Mr.. Hyde, the embodiment
of Satan, when among those who
knew him not.
It was a lecture that I was PR.
vileged to hear not long ago that
impressed this dual character up.
on me even stronger than did the
story when | first read it in my
boyhood days. This lecturer de.
clared that many men in our
every day life are Jekyls and
Hydes, the former on Sundays,
in social gatherings, etc, but in
reality and at heart all the time
a Hyde.
The speaker declared the man
who was all smiles when away
from home and a hear to his wife
and children when at home was a
modern Jekyl Hyde, as is also the
woman who gossips about her
neighbors when their backs are
turned. He associated the dual
character with the business man
who would cheat his customer,
or the customer who, knowingly,
permitted the business man or
any other associate to cheat him
self.
Summed up, the speaker re
ferred to showed Robert Louis
Stevenson's wonderful character
DIR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde-to
still live in this day. The only
differences is, we now call them
hypocrites.
