One of the best nominations made
for the assembly is Freeman H.
Lord of Pierce county. He is

schemes of professional reformers

book. He served in the assembly
in 1895 and for many years has been
a member of the board of regents
of the state normal schools Dunn
County News.
In the field of dustry-especial1
the potato fe1d-business is just
on the boom. The farmers are

with a supple knee, rubber back
and nimble fingers is we'll adapted.
