However, Au- gust and early September, when the grain and hay Crops are cut, are gen- erally rainy. This has been an un- usually wet season and farmers have had great difficulty in saving their crops, Farmers work in the fields rain or shine. It isn’t uncommon to see men and womeh fn the-driving rain fork- ing hay and stacking rye or oats sheaves so they will withstand the effects of the moisture. Grainfields and hayfields through- out most of the farming sections: or Swedeh are provided with hay and grain racks, which have the, appear- ance of hurdles used in a steeple- chase. The hay and grain are Hung on these/racks to dry, as it is impos- | sible in: this climate to keep ‘the grain and hay from rotting or heat- ing if it-is allowed to lie on the wet ground, On some of the larger farms the hay and grain racks are built as high as 30 feet, and frequently it is nec- essary for the crop to hang a, fort- night, before it is thoroughly dried out. Extremely heavy rains late in August this year crushed flown much of the grain crop with the result that there will be great loss and the grain production is expected to be far be- iow that of last year.

Town Refuses Animal As Fee Reichenbach, Silesia, Oct. 27 Barter an‘ exchange have replaced |" paper marks very largely in Ger- many, but this town was recently} stumped when it was offered an elephant and a lion in payment of taxes. A circus which had played here did not have m y enough to, pay the municipal license fees and) the manager offered to turn over the best animals in his menagerie to settle the debt. The town au- thorities declined the elephant im-j mediately, but they debated some time about the lion, as they con- ceived the idea it might be used as the nucleus for a zoological gar-' den. After they had consulted the ainmal’s keeper and found out how much meat he eats they decided to put off the zoological garden until food gets more plentiful. Finally the manager compromised with the bailiff and his aids by giving them a car in satisfaction of their claim. Mr, Johnson said in accordance with |; the expressed wishes of Dr- Coe. Announcement of the selection of |, 1a North Dakota city for the memo: rial was enthusiastically greeted by civic association: officials of Minot who have been competing with sev- |; eral other cfttes throughout the na- |’ tion for the statue. Minot was given first consideration, Dr. Coe declared, because North Dakota was the state to which Theodore Roosevelt came as @ young man, seeking restitution of his health. The statue is a replica of an impressive memorial presented by Dr, Coe to the city of Portland recently, Term “True Blue” Is Centuries Old How the new 1924 line of Oakland motor cars received the name “true blue” is a question asked everywhere by the public, states Ray V. Stair, of Stair & Pederson, Oakland dis- tributors, The answer is interesting. In or- der to. enhance the -artistic |ppear- / ance and individuality of thé Oak- |. land cars produced by. the pleasing |. body lines and top construction it was decided to finish all the bodies in color, As a result, the Oakland is ‘the only car in its price class today that is furnishing standard bod! other than black, making the cars dis- 7 tinctive and different from alt other cars in the same class. The second reason was that the “true blue” most adequately described the line. The phrase ap- pears to/have originated in the seven- teenth’ century and to have. been used later in the writings of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.. The significance of “true blue” i ful,. staunch, real, unwayering, gen. uine, ster! loyalty, fidelity ard a spotless xepu- tation.
