Our lands will suit you. “back to the land” movement is growing apace, is shown by the fact that on or about March first there will arrive at Cohasset six more farmers with their families, live stock and other belongings, from Iowa. Their effects will be shipped in six box cars direct’ to Cohasset. These families hail from the vicini- ty of Mason City, and their coming is the result of previous visits to this section last fall, when some of them made selections of state and other lands for homes. Already there are several other families from lowa located in the Cohasset district who have bought land for homes and are living on them, coming in last season. They chose farms along and in the vicini- ty of the River road, which runs westerly from Cohasset up into what is called the Vermilion country. The Vermilion district is a large section of | tine country, too, beginning about 10 miles westerly from Cohasset and covers several townships of territory which contains more o1 less hardwood timber. Two fine lakes, called Big and Little Vermilion are situated in the midst of the district and out of them drains the Vermilion river. Hence the name, Vermilion country, as it has been known by the earlier settlers. Cohasset is the nearest trading point for the greater part of the postoffice of flows through the district and drains it. The land «@ the district, in fact also most all the land along this river road ex: tending westerly from Cohasset and into the Vermilion country, -is rich | and productive, as evidenced by | the bumper crops that it has been producing since farming operations have begun to replace those of lum- bering. These hard-wood lands have a dark top soil, underlain with marl. Marl is used in older countries as a | fertilizer to build up old or worn out soils, and is coming intc use more and more in this country and is now , bought in the market in this country for fertilizing purposes. The hard-wood lands of Northern’ Minnesota are largely underlain with; it, and it usually forms the sub-soil It is a gray in color and is as soft as flour. It quickly scours a plow, and yet does not seem to contain sand, being more of the nature of clay, but not sticky. In fact it appears in most all the soils of Northern Minnesota, to supply inexhaustible productive quali- ties. The tame grasses and other crops all thrive on this class of soil. It does not bake or form in clods.on the fields, but holds moisture well, never rolis up on the wagon wheels when the roads are wet and it is not packed road bed. Several other farmers from the vi- cinity of Mason City, Ia, located last summer and fall in the district con- tiguous to Cohaisset on the west. G. ‘W. Best, who bought the Roy Gary place, near the river, four miles west of Cohasset, and W. L. Pierce, who {make a good dairy farm. This local-} | Proved. \land lies nearly level, partly fenced, bought lands from E. L. Buck, a little farther up the river, and George Gooddell who bought a tract near the steel bridge, are all from ‘the same district in Iowa. This is their first winter in North- ern Minnesota climate. However, they all say they do not feel the cold here in this dry, quiet atmos- phere like they did at their former homes. These new comers are all farmers and are an intelligent and desirable class of Americans and will material- ly aid in the development of Itasca county. Miss Blanch Cameron spent Sund: in Grand Rapids. % One reason why Cohasset is con- stantly growing and is prospering is You may be able to buy: lands tor a little less money than the prices placed upon ours, but on investiga- tion there will be found a reason in every case, when the quality of the jand, its location, nearness to mar- ket, roads, towns, schools and rail- ways are considered.

BUCK, Cohasset, TO BE TRANSFERRED TO GULL LAKE DAM Arthur Mampel, who has been in charge of the government dams at Pokegama during the past six years, has been advised by the powers high er up that it is planned to change him to the Gull lake dam in May. The government will put up several concrete buildings at Gull Lake next spring and as he is familiar with concrete work it will be his duty to oversee the building operations. The many friends of Mr. Mampel and family will regret to see them leave Pokegama, and hope they will return.

That Promised Pointed Paragraph Allfindications of a new community ; are reflected in the character of the | stores and the goods which they earry. As soon as the community commences to develop there is @ ) tendency for merchants to specialize, | Instead of the general store that | carries a general line of all goods there is the hardware store that carries hardware, a grocery store ilikewise, and so on. Some times, | however, communities suffer for the most efficient service because the | merchants hesitate to specialize. To | make a Cohasset application: Cohas- |set needs a registered pharmacist in town. This need is apparent to | every one. A registered pharmacist | should have a good line of drug sup- | plies and he should not run a hard- ware or grocery store. On the oth- er hand, the other merchants should | slough off the drug part of their | business and specialize in their own lines. In this way, and in this way jonly, can the community hope to maintain an efficient, drug, butcher | or hardware store. Increased Church Attendance. Since the cold weather has com- imenced to ease a little there hag been a marked increase in the church attendance in Cohasset. The vil- lage hall was well filled Sunday even- ling and the services were enjoyed by all in attendance.
