Dr. Brown, of Fargo, preached in the hall last Sunday morning and drove out to Baldwin church in the afternoon to assist in its dedication. Newmann, the mind reader and hypnotist entertained a small crowd in the hall Saturday night. He put his class of five subjects through many laughable exercis es. The small boys did not forget that last Monday was Halloween and all Saints turned out in force to make things lively. The next morning, the Badger store was making a special display of fertilizer. Kraabel &Kraabelhad an old rusty stove on exhibition in front of their store and the hotel was advertising vehicles and sleighs, while Fred Mewes had taken possession of Jack's place and was using the roof for a buggy shed.

A Missouri editor speaksof the weather in that country as fol ows: "It has been so hot and dry down here in Missouri that the wagons go around with their tongues out and ice has to be soaked all night in water before it will make lemonade. The cat fish kick up so much dust in the beds of the creeks that the the watermelons look like big chunks of dirt. A spark from an engine set fire to a farmer's pond and half a carload of bull frogs were burned before the flames could be extinguished and the ground was so hard and dry that the crawfish holes in the low places were pulled up and sold for gas pipes. Even the horns were melted off the cattle."

On investigation it proved to be the hired men coming up to get air, for they were cutting oats under the water. The ducks went on top of the barns to lay their eggs which rolled off the roof and were hatched by mud turtles, The rural route drivers had a seat on top of their wagons and driving into a mud hole they whipped the horses as long as they were in sight and then whipped the bubbles until the horses came out on the other side of the! slough. They ran a lawn mower, on the sidewalks Sundays, to scare the bull frogs off so the ladies could go to church. The farmers are all growing gills, and the air bladders and fins are sprouting on their backs. It is very wet down there this season. ROCKEFELLER'S SAVING WAY In former years John. D. Rockefeller's supervision of Standard Oil company's affairs took in even the smallest detail. On one occasion, commenting on a monthly statement, he called a refiners attention to a discrepan cy in regard to bungs, articles worth about as much in a refinery as pins are in a household. "Last month," he said to the subordin ate official concerned, "you re ported on hand 1,119 bungs. Ten thousand were sent you at the beginning of this month. You report 1,012 on hand. What has become of the other 580?" Apparently Mr. Rockefeller's cJ. D. Brown. Pres. We carry in Stock the celebrated SHERWIN WILLIAHS cover more surface and last longer than any other.
