LETTER FROM NORTH DAKOTA. Minot, North Dak,. Oct. 31, 1910—Dear Editor and friends of Jasper county: Thinking that good many of my friends and neighbors in Jasper county would like to hear something that they could believe of that much-talked of North Dakota, I will drop a few lines to the editor of one of my best friends, “The Democrat,” a regular, twice-a-week visitor in our household, and perhaps he will be so kind as to let some of our friends know of it.

North Dakota is just all right so far. I send my best wishes to our old Jasper county, but would never go back there to live. Our crop failure this year has been a setback, it is true, but as the rest of the old farmers say it is an unusually bad year and expect a better crop next year, we hope for r tone also. However, not all of the surrounding country has suffered as much as this immediate vicinity. One of our old Northern Jasper farmers, Albert Bouk, had fairly good crops, raising 2,200 bushels of gain, doing all the work himself. This is only an example of the groups of farmers who escaped the dry belt and raised real good crops. All the people, however, raised extra fine potatoes and the gardens as a whole turned out welL To dur city now: Minot is the county seat of our Ward. This is a beautifuv city, bounded on one side by a tall, grassy hill and on the others by the winding Mouse river and a densely wooded grove. The city in itself is also very beautiful. There are about twenty churches, five large brick schools, a hospital, and of course, Minot being the county fine court house; and jail. ..The other buildings, stores, postoffice, depots, etc., are large and of brick, but*l’ve already taken so much space describing Minot that I wl»l now desist. . ■ * Perhaps this little point will interest some of oir Jasper friends, The 251 h we went to Minot to kelp cheer Bryan with the Hst of abo.it three thousand who had assembled at Spring Lake Park Hall to bear his speech and hurrah for Bryan’ May I also offer a little advice to my friends in Northern Jasper coun-

ty, it is just thisCWhen you send any one again to explore our west, please’ send someone "mamma'i angcl boy” who hardly could leave the Kankakee valley long enough to see further west than the sandhill. I.et me contradict some of the beliefs of his short-sighted vision concerning a few points. One of these points is our Fourth of Jaly blizzard. Let me tell you that it consisted in a warm, pleasant day, but alas! Packing the annual 4th of July rain of Northern Jasper. This lacking perhaps likened it to a blizzard in our “western weather reporter’s” mind. Another point, I beg leave to contradict is concerning the old Jasper farmers who wished they were back in Indiana. I wonder who it is? It is surely not myself nor anyone 1 know. I generally meet quite often the Indiana farmers and never once has such a sentiment been voiced to me. I would like proof. And w£ are not starved yet nor is my live stock. There is no suffering for man nor beast and although’” the crops are poor there is plenty work and high wages for those who are willing, both in country and city. Hoping the Jasper county farmers are nearly done with their fall work, as I am, and wishing them good health and prosperity, I am, .yours truly, THOS. CALLAGHAN.

Parsons, Battle Creek, Mich., illustrates: “I have been afflicted with a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble for which I found no relief until I used Foley Kidney Pills.

The steady use of Foley Kidney Pills rid me entirely of all my former ‘ troubles. They have my highest reccommendation.” A. F. Long.
