I know there is little use for the low gear on a car that will start on high from a dead stop on the side of a hill, but it wouldn’t be complete without it. “By noon the car had Park Rapids and also the bound wind and rain storm, but the unpleasant features were entirely forgotten, because of the splendid behavior of the car and the rapid fire wit of one T.

The Melges brothers lived in this section of the state for a number of years and pin their faith to the op- portunities and future of Northern Minnesota.

These lands are said to considerable hardwood timbar and investors have taken them state they have found enough wood on their property to pay for the land. The Melges brothers have secured much the best lands adapted for farming purposes and are advertising to bring good live settlers into this county. Their campaign of advertising in the Minneapolis papers is causing much comment in the twin cities and with the distribution of other literature will tend to do justice to the possi- bilities Northern Minnesota has to offer. During the past year the Crooks- ton Lumber Company has led in the selling of Northern Minnesota lands having disposed of about 50,000 acres. This has practically cleaned up their present supply of cut over lands, but as they are clearing lands continually they expect to sell 10,000 acres a year for the next four years. contain NEW HYBRID BEE.
