 The theme is based upon the martyrdom of the early Christians, and emphasizes the self-sacrificing devotion which mark ed their lives.

FURIOUS BLIZZARD
Sweeping the Coast of New Foundland.
 Sealers In Danger.

St. Johns, N. F., March 20.-A furious blizzard has been sweeping the whole seaboard since last night.
 This morning the sealer Southern Cross, which arrived here yesterday, was forced into the harbor of Perlican in danger of swamping on account of heavy load of 265O0 seals on board.
 Much anxiety is felt for the remainder of the sealing fleet. which must have felt the full fury of the gale. In such event. with oyer 400 men scattered about the ice fields, disaster might ensue, as only too frequently happens.
 The anxiety will not be relieved until another steamer arrives with later re- ports.

sold since Mr.. Hill became the ]
owner, but there are several parties
residing thereon, they having been
given permission to build and live
there unmolested. The land is
situated midway between thetown-
site of the Cass Land Go. and the
property of the Neils Lumber Co.,
the latter bordering on the lake.
The Hill property has been plated

The tide Of immigration flowing
through Crookston, principally to-
various points in Polk county and

of actual settlers, who have made
purchases during summer and fall,
will take possession Of their lands
for purposes Of cultivation. A
very fair sized ripple Of the wave.
of immigration, however, will be.

the coming land campaign.
Conversation with representa-
tive residents Of this section, who
are frequently in Crookston, elicits
the fact that nothing could have
been done which would please the
residents Of that territory more
than the building Of this line.
The settlers Of the territory tribu-
tary to the new road have hitherto
had to make long hanls by wagon
to get their produce to market.

of which will now be hauled over
the new line. Wood, which has
been difficult of access to Crooks

in by an all-rai! route. The open
ing up Of the new wood district
will not reduce the price Of wood
however, though it may tend to
keep the figures from advancing
for some time.

An Aged Postmaster

p, w. FISK OF TINS village has
handed us a clipping from d New
York paper which tells Of the old
est postmaster in the United
States. Mr.. Fisk himself is 73
years old, but the postmaster was,
appointed one year before Mr..
Fisk was born. He was born in
thesame county where this ancient
postmaster still lives, and the first
man he worked for was the post
masters brother, Hiram. We re-
print below this remarkable clip
ping:
There is a little village up ia the
State of New York, consisting Of
two churches, a store, blacksmith
shop, hotel, creamery and few
scattered houses that has the
honor Of having retained its post
master longer than any other
place in the world.
1t is the Village Of North Lam
sing, and If Roswell Beardsley
lives until the 28th day Of June
he will have served longer than
any other man. He received his
appointment June 90, 1928, under
President John Quincy Adams,
through thesinfuence Of William
Fl. Seward, and by the grace Of
God and the confidence Of the peo-
pie has retained it all these years.
We have been accustomed to
speak with wonder Of the long
reign Of Queen Victoria, but she
was only q little girl nine years
Of age when Mr.. Beardsley re-
ceived his commission as post
master, and did not begin her
reign till nine years later.
At first Mr.. Beardsley kept the
office and a small stock Of general
merchandise in room Of the
hotel, but in 1929 he erected a new
building, in which the store and
office has remained to the present
time. The store rooms shows its
ancient origin in the narro v front
door, small windows, the high
counters along each side and bare
ioist overhead.
To the older people the sight is
delightful reminder Of bygone
days before the advent Of the
steam horse, for there was not a
mile Of railroad in the country
when the building was erected,
and best Of all is the aged post
master with his old fashioned
courtly ways and quaint habits Of
speech retained from former years.
Many things now obsolete have
been retained in the store, among
them quill pens which he still
manufactures and uses. His bust.
ness career has been as devoid. Of
exciting events as it has been sue
cessful. Besides his home and
store he has accumulated d large
landed property; yet, in all his
numerous business transactions he .
has never been the plaintiff or de-
fendant in suit in court.
