An attractive programme was carried
out and was we'll received.
For some time past a miniature ship
has been standing on the counter at
Larson s. Wilson's store which is a
specinen of the landiwork OF Thomas
Thomasson, who is shipbuiider by
trade. This ship was carried by Mr..
Thomasson in all his travels of last
wear through the far West. 1t is
perfect piece of work.
When three or four weeks ago 1t
was thought that numerous damag-
ing reports had been sent to the com
mercial agencies which affected the
commercial standing of the entire
village the subject was proper one
for investigation by the Board of
Trade. But as soon rs the matter
narrowed down to charge made by q
single firm against q single reporter
then the subject became one which
should not properly come before the
Board of Trade, but which, If an in
vestigation was necessary should have
been taken before the courts for decis-
ion. We believe this to be the opin-
ion of the members of the Board of
Trade themselves.

In recent issue of the LeSueur
Sentinel appeared communication
containing many excellent suggestions
which are worthy of the careful con-
sideration of ALL The following edi-
torial comment shows the character
of the letter referred to:
zone of the Mothers" in a COM
munieation elsewhere, has struck a
keynote in her suggestion that, in-
stead of allowing the young boys to
aimlessly wander about the town dur
ing the long winter evenings, and
finally drift into the club rooms and
other places of vice, the doors of priv
ate houses be opened to them, and they
be invited to come in and spend their
evenings in the society Of the daugh.
ters and mothers ofrespectable homes.
Were dozen of our best homes thus
opened to the young men Of the town
on alternate evenings, where the res
training and refining influences of
good mothers and well-bred daughters
would be thrown around them, the
effect would be wonderful tonic in
stimulating the boys to an honorable
manhood, and would turn large
majority of them into the paths of
respectable society. 1T is the boy who
is just beginning to feel that he is
reaching independent manhood,
when he can spend his evenings away
from home, and is longing for the ex-
element of social life who is ripe for
the tempter's snares and u.s. liable to
soon find himself in the pitfalls Of
vice and crime.
The dissolution notice of Good &
Brisbine which appears in this issue
deserves more than passing comment.
