He was damfounded to find that Minot has a more beautiful park than either St. Paul or Minneapolis. The rust has done considerable damage to wheat in this vicinity, es pecially, it seems, on the north side of the valley. Last week's heavy wind and rain was hard on the ripening grain on account of the weakened con dition of the straw. Practically all the wheat fields showed more or less of broken or crinkled" straw. The work of cutting has been pushed with all possible speed so as to get the grain before it got down too much. Many farmers are about done cutting and as a rule they express the opinion that the yield is going to be good. The valley crops are especially fine. South of town and around Aurelia the grain is reported to be very good Threshing will soon begin and with favorable weather it will be done far in advance of the usual time.—Donny brook Courier.

Shea, well known Burlington farmer, passed away at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Witham in this city Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock after an illness of .several months from neuritis. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock from the Van Fleet undertak ing parlors, the remains being inter red in Rose Hill cemetery. The fun eral sermon was preached by Rev. F. W. Christ of Burlington. Mr. Shea was 45 years of age. He was born in Porter county, Ind., and nineteen years ago came to Ward county, settling on a homestead art "Stringtown", 12 miles south of Mi not. Here he lived for several years, moving later to Minnesota. A few years ago he returned to Ward county and has been living since on his farm three miles east of Burlington. He became ill about the first of the year and spent some time at the hos pital at NorthwooA, N. D., and at the Shakopee, Minn. Springs, with out relief.

Rotary Members Given Testa Leslie A. White, superintendent of the Minot schools, was the speaker at Monday's Rotary luncheon. Mr. White took up his time by giving the members tests in arithmetic and read ing, the same tests as given the boys and girls in the city schools.
