/ Mustard is making itself too con-
spicuous in many fields in this
county. Thrifty farmers are hav-
ing it pulled on their farms as soon

penditure of a few days time effect
a great saving on future crops and
prevent their farms from depreciat-

The w. r. G. elected the following
officers for this district at the Sleepy
Eye encampment, all of them being

eloquent speaker and has a manner
of putting her subject before her
audience in a way that makes deep
impression. She has a pleasing ad :
dress, and is the happy possessor
of a modulated voice and an earnest
manner that impresses her hearers
more than the mere force of words.
j The world do move. Fifty years
ago the spectacle of protestant and
catholic clergy appearing on the
same platform and touching elbows
as participants in celebrating a
school commencement would have
been all but impossible, but last
week it seemed entirely proper.
The relations of the different shep-
erds to each other is indicated by a
| little incident of commencement
evening. Mr.. Sinclair, who preached
the baccalaureate sermon the evening
before, saluted Father Woods by
putting his hands on the shoulders
