Farmers Aid Asked.
Farmers in rural communities

requested to volunteer their donations

tornado are in the hospitals in need OF
care, they are out of work and thetr
families need assistance. Forty per
cent Of the homes of the city were de
stroyed during the tornado, 1t is re-
ported. There are hundreds of home
less and destitute people who have
turned to their neighbors in East
Grand Forks for assistance.
The people of Fergus Falls were
among the first and heaviest givers
for the relief of those made destitute
by the Tyler tornado a year e and
the northern Minnesota fire last fall.

young Captain fresh from khaki who takes Roose-

more sophistication than baby's, but with an
honest will to practical reform, Mr. BLYTHE affords

stead he is interrupting lofty discourse with,
"Who tcon THE WARE The Eegrek, EN-, Say,
