Show BLANDING -- BLANDING HAS BIGGEST BAIN STORM IN YEARS 2.22 inches of moisture fell in Blanding, last week. It is one of the best storms Blanding ever had. An inch and a half fell two weeks before, making nearly four inches of rainfall in the month of July. The farmers are surely happy over the change in their prospects and are busy weeding and plowing. The storm has come too late to help the grain much, but will be a big lift for next year. The rain came so fast that much damage has been done to roads bridges and culverts in many places in the county, but the road workers were on the job as quickly as they could get there. EVA LOCKE MOVED BACK TO DETROIT MICHIGAN Eva Locke left Monticello on the bus, Sunday morning to go back to Detroit, Mich., to make her home- Lucy Adams and her sister, Florence Galbraith were there to see her off.
