Goodland Herald: On Friday of last week the school board received a communication from Miss May Huston, who is attending the summer session of Denver College, at Boulder, Colo., asking to be released from her contract to teach in the Goodland schools next year, as she had a better opportunity. This came as a sort of a surprise to the board, but as they are a very accommodating bunch of fellows Miss Huston will no doubt receive her wish. The board are on the lookout to fill the vacancy made by Miss Huston.

GOOD CROPS IN NORTH DAKOTA. Bud Hammond Writes That He Expects to Harvest 30,000 Bushels of Grain. Lisbon, N. D., July 6, 1909. Dear Editor: Thinking that a short letter from North Dakota might interest my old Jasper county friends, J will write you- a few lines. We are having fine weather and the prospects for a big crop was never better. Grain of all kinds is heading out, and some of the wheat is shoulder high. I have out three sections of wheat, oats, barley and flax.

I have sixty head of hopes and my own threshing outfit, so my expenses taking care of my crop will be light. If present prospects materailize I expect to thresh fifty thousand* bushels of grain. Land values range from $35 to $55 per acre, and are going up very fast. This Is a good country for a poor man, if he Is a good worker, and I have made more money here in the last two years, than I made in my whole life time before.

I will be glad to hear from anyone in Indiana wanting to find out more about this country and will answer any inquiries. As I do not want to take up too much of your space, will close for this time. Yours truly, BUD HAMMOND. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS. July 9, to Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Gassoway of Union tp., a daughter. July 10, to Mr. and Mrs. James Davis of Barkley township, a daughter. The grocery department of the Chicago Bargain Store will be under the management of Rowles & Parker after this week, and will not be closed on moving day, Monday. July 19th. h ROWLES & PARKER We will be ready, to continue the closing out sale Tuesday. July 20th, at the Rowles & Parker rooms. CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE.
