=, Among the tourists who stopped at
the tourist camp in the city over Sun
day were two Ford racers bearing
Massachusetts, license numbers. The
cars were owned by four young men
who claim they are going to pilot the
Fords to the coast. It seems that most
of the young men east of the coast
get fever to visit that much talked
of place about this time Of the year.
Apparently the boys had heard of all
the golden opportunities at the end Of
the rainbow" and are determined to
reach it. From past experiences we
say, settle down you younger gen.
Grafton and get started in life while
the starting is good. Once the roam
ing fever gets a hold Of a person it
hard to shake it off.

On Saturday night destructive hail
storm swept over the country between
jamestown and Spiritwood and we are
informed many crops in the path Of
the storm were wiped out by the hail.
It is said many windows were broken
in farm houses and that hail was lying
around an hour and half after the
storm had passed over. We had a
heavy rain in Valley City and the
clouds had that color that generally
betokens hail but right in this section
we escaped any damage from the
hail storm. The past few days have
seen many crops wiped out by the hail
and that with the rust now attacking
the crops the yield is being cut down
very materially. .,.:

A farmer came to town early this

tackled six or seven men and offered
them $500 per day and then they said
they would not go out for that but
would wait and 60 out for threshing
These fellows should be promptly sent

not good men for this or any commun-
