He says that a great deal of building will be done this season in thuse towns. In Grand Rapids, he says, there are how assured 20 new dwellings that will cost anywhere from $2,000 to 96,000 each.

PERREAULT IN TROUBLE AGAIN A Former Business Man of Grand Rapids Has Trouble With His Wife. The following from the Bemidji News, relates tu a former resicent of Grand Rapids: ‘“M. Perreault, of Farley, Monday waiyed examination in Judge Reynolds courtand was bound over to the grand jury on a charge of house breaking, preferred by Mrs. Stanche, of Farley. Iv appears that after some trouble between Mr. Perre- ault and his wife, which has been brewing for some, time and has been aired inthe local courts, Mrs. Perre- ault tuok refuge in Mrs. Stanche’s house. Perreault forced entrance dur- ing the night, it is alleged. It was also stated in local a paper that after the vccurance Mr, Perreault left the country. This ‘is not true, as he merely went to Brainerd on some business matters, befure any warrant was issued.. Sheriff Bailey wired Perreault at Brainerd that there was a warrant for bis arrest, and went down Monday and served the papers, | FARMER’S PART IN COUNTY FAIR Some Valuable Suggestions by A. J. MeGuire of the Experiment Farm. The true purpose of an agricultural fairis to improve the agricultural: couditious of the state or county in which it is held. No matter what the gate receipts may be, if the farm- ers do not receive some instruction or inspiration that will result in bet- ter farming, the purpose of the fair has failed. Itasca county is hardly recognized as an agricultural county by most of the state. True, the ax and the saw is still heard and in their trail is the desolation of a fallen forest. Itisa fact that conditions in Itasca coun- ty at the present time, are not the most favorable fur farming, but it should be borne in mind that it is not always the conditions that determine success or failure but it is the effort put forth. With intelligent effort there is no reason why much of Itasca county cannot be made as productive as any part of the state. r While corn may not mature and the amount of fruit that can be raised may be limited, conditious are most favorable for the growth of vege- tables, roots and grain, and especially for clover, vue of the most important crops that can be grown. It should be remembered that it was not many years ago that the corn crop was an uncertainty one hundred miles farth- er svuth and the apple orchard con- sidered impossible. Through |im- provement the corn fields and the apple orchard are ‘extended fartker north every year. Improvement should be the farmers constant aim, and especially iu a new country, with fertile fields, and piants and animals of superior quality, the same amount of labor that uows gues to gain a meager living would result in most profitable returns, § A county fair may be made the means of bringing about much im- provement.

Third, the Independent is not perfectly willing to go into court over the matter. Fourth, peo- ple whose vpinivns are worth consid- eration pay a great deal attention to what the Herald-Review says.

Pie aud plunder has played the devil with the Republican party of this county and the Herald-Ke- view has been the most vigilant in tracking the pieman.
