NEVEK A FAI1.URE. The Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota has liever had a failure of crops. It produced 30,000,000 bushels of wheat besides other cereals in 1890. Farms can be liad on the erop plan,'or long time cash payments. It is not an uucommon thing to pay f or a farm from the proceeds of one erop. It has all of the advantages of an old country in the shape of school, church, market, postal &railway facilities and all the chances of a new country in the way of cheap lands, rich soil, and increase in values. It is one öf the most fertile and promisin v regions in America not yet fully occupied. In the rush to the far west, however, this rich valley has been over-koked. It has room for a million more people. Write to F. I. WIIITNEY, St, Paul, Minn. for particulars. Publications sent free. THE SONG OF THE "No. 9." My dress is of fine polished oak, As rieh as the finest fur cloak, And for handsome design You just sbould see mine- No. 9, No. 9. I'm beloved by the poor and the rich, For both I impartially stitch ; In the cabin I shine, In the mansión I'm fine - No. 9, No. 9. I never get surly nor tired, With zeal I always am fired ; To hard work I incline, For rest I ne'er pine- No. 9, No. 9. I am easily purchased by all, With instalments that monthly do f all; And when I am thine, Then life is benign - No. 9, No: 9. To the Paris Exposition I went, tlpon getting the Grand Prize intent ; I lef t all behind, The Grand Prize was mine - No. 9, No. 9. At the Universal Exposition of 1889, at Paris, Franee, the best sewing machines of the world, ineluding those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechanical experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufaeturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of all, and awarded that company the highest prize offered- the GRAND PRIZE- giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French goyemment, as a further recognition of superioritj-, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the eompany, with the Cross of the Legión of Honor- the most prized honor of France.
