One North Dakota County That Is Not Badly Hurt By Drouth. Regarding the damage done by the droyth in .North Dakota. Messrs. Clow Hendricks write The*Democrat from Lisbon, near which place many former Jasper c-.untv people are located, as follows:? . . Lisbon. ND.. July 14, 1910. Editor Democrat: —-Much has been said among the eastern people about North Dakota and about the drouth, and at this time we wish to absolutely refute any such stories so far as Ransom county is concerned. The writer has been ..absent for the last three weeks, during that time visited Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, parts of Michigan, and as far east as Buffalo, and saw nothing to compare with the banner Ramson county It is nevertheless true that the northern part of the state (especially the northwestern part) has .experienced a bad drouth, and the people of Ransom county always sympathize with our northern neighbors, for if it is not dry with them it is frost.

If any of the farmers of Jasper county (or investors) want to miss it by locating in Ransom change their location they cannot county. The above is hot written to enthuse or mislead anyone but simply to refute the charges that are made again Ransom county, the banner county in the state of North Dakota. Crops of all kinds are good, and our corn would make the Hoosier open his eyes. If the above is worthy of space in ybur valuable paper, you have our permission to publish it. With kindest regards, we remain, Yours truly, CLOW & HENDRICKS.
