Much is said by boosters for Cali

land OF sunshine and earthquakes.
OF course lots of folks fall for this
bunk. Minnesota people are rather
modest in their claims of ideal eli
mate, but the native appreciates the
invigorating, health-giving air one
breathes here in the land of the TO-

regions. Wednesday of this week Al
Markson was displaying large spray
of fresh apple blossoms which he had
picked from one of the trees at his

A REAL FISH STORY

Jesse Rose is -first-class tonsorial
artist and claims to be real fisher
man as well. In all seriousness he is
telling his friends that while fishing
in Fairy lake a few days ago, using
a Basserno to fool the fish, that he
caught two black bass each weighing
tire pounds with one cast. The bass
are so thick in the lakes about Sank
Centre that it is hardly safe for the
angler to go onto the lake alone.
Jesse caught these bass casting from
shore, and it wasn't much of a day
for bass either.

the crop experts say. Indications are
for a yield of about 100 bushels an
