Weeks passed during the months of May amd June without rain for the tender crops, and this was at a time when moisture is most needed during the growing season. Day af- ter day and week after week passed with the sun boiling down the straight and narrow way, accompan- ied one day after another with strong hot winds that felt like breaths from a hot oven. Many of the farmers up the river road west of Cohasset, who have been clearing and increasing the area of cultivated land more and more each year and prospering there- by, had almost despaired of gatrehing any crop worth mentioning this sea- sgn. y Finally the drouth was broken by copious rains, and a great change has come about. The last two weeks has worked marvels with the crops of this entire district. The tame hay crop almost a failure, has revived tremendously and as a result a fair first crop is being harvested, with good chances for an equally good second crop if the average rainfall continues during the remainder of the season, The wild hay crop up river promises a good average yield. Gardens are looking fine. The potato) crop promises a good yield, and those who were fortunate enough to face of the unusually low prices that prevailed during all the spring aid summer months, will no doubt get good prices for their product. Om the whole the farmers of Itas¢: county can congratulate themselv@® on thé present outlook. This drouthy year has proven that the soil of these lands in the tim- ber belt of Minnesota are peculiarly adapted to withstand such extremes of dry weather as have for weeks at a stretch hovered over the district.No place are there any failures here- abouts. And it is a sight to see the vast amount of wld amd tame grass- es, pea vines and other forage, waist high, that is going to waste all over this county. Can a county that possesses soil of such resourcefulness long remain sparsely settled as it is? Surely the day is close at hand when Northern Minnesota will come into its own. Deceived by an ‘‘Ad” “If I were publisher of a news- paper I’d see to it that my adver- tisers at least carried in stock what they advertised,” said an angry gen- tleman to the Herald-Review re- porter the other day. “Wifat’s the matter now?” asked thenews gather- er. ‘“What’s the matter now? Enough’ the matter! I read in the Cohasset Herald-Review that Charley Brown “keeps the very best of everything,” and when I dropped in choking for a drink and called for a hurry-up pint of cold Fitger or some other good brand, he didn’t have a drop in the house, so he said. Either Brown or the Herald-Review are unreliable, and I feet that explanations are due. When a man wants beer he wants beer, not a suggestion that something else is better for him.” At that the aggravated citizen walked into the Bass Brook hotel and looked with disgust at John Nelson's free water- tank. Sunday’s Ball Game. Cohasset finally got a date with the Grand Rapids Grays, and the fans as well as the players here feel that a square deal would have given us thé game. As it was the score is re-| corded four to three in favor of the Grays. In the eighth inning Brackett made a two-bagger and got safe to second when the Grand Rapids um- pire called him out. Everybody saw that he was safe. It was the worst! rag-chewing match ever pulled off here, and the spectators were dis- gusted. Outside of that it was a good game @nd all right. 7 Cohasset Cullings ; 2 Soroeooososesoseosesoengee Mrs. Clara Bull visited in Duluth over Sunday. C. S.

The Fire Fighters. Henbert Grove, fire ranger for Itasca county, is taking much interest in his official duties and is strivng to become profcient in the science of fire fighting. While at Bemidji last week to confer with other rangers he said many good suggestions were made and experiences related that will be of value to the state’s fire ex- tinguishers. Herb is constantly on the go ahd is not overlooking any op- portunity to keep losses by fire in his territory down to the minimum. The recent rains did much to sub- due the fires that were well started in all directions. He says much dam- age could not have been averted had the dry weather continued.

The Wadena Pioneer Journal says that town is planning to pilfer one of Grand Rapids’ most popular ministers of the gospel, and thereat the people of this town offers objection. The Pioneer says: “It seems probable at this time that Rev. E. S. Murphy of Grand Rapids may return to Wadena and again become rector of St. Helen’s church, Rev. Murphy was here last week attending several wed- dings and it was suggested during his visit that he return to his old home. It is understood that Rev. Murphy looks with favor upqn this idea and no doubt the Wadena church will extend to him a formal call.” DUNN & MARCA.
