Grandma McGlynn of Rensselaer, came up Wednesday morning and visited her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Gundy, and family. The recent rains have brought the fish up into the ditches and fields, but there is so much water It is a hard matter to catch them. The continued wet weather will make the potato crop short, no doubt, as most of then! are planted on low land, and win be drowned out.

Rain; rain, nothing but rain, and that’s about all we know this week.

it seems as if we in the U. S. don't need to make any calculations on feeding the warring nations the year to come. As it looks now, to a man up a tree, we will have all we can do to raise enough to Seed ourselves.
