CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN.

Weather and Crop Conditions in NIinne-
sofa for the Week Ending April 2S.
The weather most of the week was
too cool for the satisfactory germina-
ton of late seeded grain, and the
growth of the earlier seeded. It was
so cold on the morning of the 23rd that
the ground in northern counties was
frozen hard, and there were frosts else
where on the oath. On the 22nd there
were rains and snow from Marshall
county southwark to the Minnesota
valley, the snow in Marshal, Polk and
Norman counties being reported from
to Is inches in depth, and remaining
on the ground in places till the 18th.
southwest there we're light scattered
showers, with gales of wind which
caused severe dust storms, and injury
to some seeded fields. In the southern
two-thirds Of the State there was a
general and abundant rain on the 18th,
lasting over into the Goth in southeast
ern counties. This rain was accom-
panied by high winds which had de-
structive force in some southwestern
countless; on the evening of the 25th
snow fell with the rain for time
Work in the Red River valley has
been seriously hindered by the stormy
weather, except in Kittson county,
where the wheat is about three fourths
seeded. In the southern two-thirds of
the State preparations are being made
for flax seeding and corn planting, and
some flax is already in the ground.
Potato planting is going on in small
way. Glover, where reported, is said
to have come through the winter in
good condition. The rain of the 25th
was of inestimable value to all that
large part of the State previously suf-
fering from drought, furnishing suffic-
lent moisture for the seeded grain, and
packing the dry loose soil so that there
will now be no danger from high
winds. The early sown grains are
coming up, though growth before the
rains was almost at a standstill.
Warm weather would cause a very
rapid growth of all vegetation.

first brought before justice at Cam

Dahlstrom was not to be let down so

before Justice Ledin at Spring Lake.

Colorado Gold Mines.

Crestone is the youngest of Colorado
gold camps. Active development has
been in progress in the camp for only
about two years, but within that brief
period the value of the district as a
permanent producer of gold ore has
been proved beyond the dream of
avarice. One mine, the Independent,
has already been developed to a point
where the annual output of gold ore
amounts to over one-half million dol
lars. But better than a gold mine is

SERMON ON ODD FELLOWSHIP.

Anniversary Sermon Last Sunday Night
at the Congregational Church by Rev.
Moxie.
The eighty-third anniversary of the
founding Of the I. o. o. F. in this coun-
try was observed last Sunday by a
special service at the Congregational
church in the evening which was at.
tended by quite number of Odd Eel.
lows and Rebekahs. Rev. Moxie de-
livered special sermon for the occa-
sion, his theme being ''Applied Chris,
tianity." His text was from Romans
1910, ''Love worketh no i'll to his
neighbor; therefore love is the fulfill.
ing of the law"
The pastor spoke of the antiquity of
fraternal orders, and described their
growth and development through the
ages. AS the tiny rivulets coursing
down the mountains make the mighty
stream and the little acorn makes the
majestic oak, so Odd Fellowship and
the spirit of fraternalism has grown to
be mighty factor in the social world.
1t was in the year 1919 that five men in
the city of Baltimore met and organ
lied the first lodge Of Odd Fellows in
America. They were men of God, men
of character and men of principle.
To-day there are over million of Odd
Fellows and a quarter of million of
Rebekahs. During the eighty-three
years of the existence of the order
nearly 100000, 900 has been expended.
"Odd Fellowship aims to secure such
an application of the spirit and princi-
pies of the christian religion as will
befriend the stranger, relieve the dis
tresses of the unfortunate, comfort the
needy, alleviate the sorrows of the af-
ficted, provide for the destitute widow
and provide for and educate the help
less orphans
Rev. Moxie spoke of the three great
characteristics of the order-benevo-
lence, charity and love. Because of
the fact that the churches had failed
to SOW deep the seeds of benevolence
the human promptings of the heart of
man had taken benevolence up as a
common watchword.
"The charity of Odd Fellowship is
that which treads the secret paths that
lead to human want and wretchedness.
1t is a charity which no labor can
weary, no ingratitude can discourage.
It is a charity that tolls, forgives and
suffers" With charity is linked the
spirit of ENERGY show' which is one OF
the strong pillars of true fraternity.
With its parctice of benevolence, char.
fly and love Odd Fellowship gives
grand examples of applied christianity.
''Love is the mother of devotion.
Under the inspiration of it we view
creation as one vast temple in which
all things seem to worship God. Love
reveals itself in benevolence and sacri.
fetal living. It goes about doing good.
It feeds the hungry, clothes the naked.
comforts the afflicted, instructs the
ignorant, protects the weak, and tc
exalt truth and Righteousness it will
defy any opposition, confront any peril
and meekly and joyfully endure any
suffering. Love is immortal. It will
60 with us through the gates of death
It is the spotless robe that shall cove,
us when we stand before the great
white throne of judgment. It will en-
throne us at the right hand of the
Heavenly Majesty and crown us with 6
glory that shall endure forever"
