The North Mankato W. G. T. U.

services of Mrs. B. Laythe Scovell, of
Minneapolis, state secretary of the
young women's branch and state Or
ganizer. She spoke in the M. E. chapel
in North Mankato on Monday even
ing. Her subject was "Love, and
Organized Mother Love-" Her text
was taken from John 3:16, and she
held her listeners attentively while
she told of this love that gave birth
to the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. Love for the boys and the
girls that is planning and working
along forty-tve different lines, but
only having time to speak of few.
Among them were, work among lum-
Der men, work among railroad men
and social purity. All who heard her
were much interested, and we hope to
have her with US again.

VALUE OF LANDS.
A Difference of Opinion as to the
Worth of the Foster Lands.
Real Estate Men and Others Testify
in the Case.

The trial of the suit of Mrs. Smith
and daughters against Hubbard &

Thursday afternoon, VIM. p.
Christensen, an Olivia real estate
man, F. B. White, Laketield real
estate man, and C. H. Anderson, a
Lamberton real estate man, were put
on the stand by the plaintiffs, and
testified to what they thought the
lands in question were worth at the
time that administrator Barr sold
them to Hubbard & Palmer. They
placedithe value at So to SIS an acre,
according to location. @. o. True, OF
this city, formerly farmer of West
ford, Martin county, also gave testi-
mony along this line. W. d. Willard,
of this city, Chas. Westerberg, of
Mankato, a former farmer of Jackson
county, and eX-Probate Judge Torrey
testified for the plaintiffs. Azella +.
Smith testified on her own behalf, es-
timating the worth of the lands at
$l2 to SIS an acre.

Tense placing a witness on the stand

witness was obliged to leave the city
Friday afternoon. He was Geo. Eyga-
broad, prominent resident of Win
nebago City, and he testified that the
Foster lands in Martin and Jackson
counties might have been worth in

land was worth at that time about
1924 an acre on the average.
