Mrs. Rebecca Lake writing
from New Rockford, North Dako
ta, says : The Nkws reaches us
regularly, and is read with much
pleasure. This is a busy season,
as harvesting aud threshiug have
begun in earnest, and every man,
woman, and child iu the country,
is busy. Our farmers, who have
anywhere from 100 to 1500 acres
of v heat, all getting ripe at once,
have something to do to get it cut,
md something else to get it
threshed. In some cases, one
man alone, will take care of 320

A Sad Disappointment.
Ineffective liver medicine is a
disappointment but you don't
want to purge, strain and break
the glands of tho stomach and
bowels. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers never disappoint. They
cleanse the system of all poison
and putrid matter and do it so
gently that one enjoyes the pleas
ant effects. They are a tonic to
the liver. Cure biliousness, tor
pid liver and prevent fever.
A Mild Winter Predicted.
Here's the prediction that will
fall on the ears of tho man whose
coal bin is still empty like choice
music. Prof. C. E. Myers, of the
government weather department,
says the summer season will be
prolonged until late in the fall.
He also predicts a mild winter.
His theory is that the volume of
water which has fallen during
May, Juue and July cannot be
evaporated from the earth during
tho summer and that the water
in the. earth will hold the sum
mer heat far into the winter.
