High School Notes.

We understand that the juniors of
this school will give a Hobo So
clal' on Saturday next; moreover,
that everybody is invited who IS
willing to dress like a hobo, pay
n1teen cents and have a good time.
we understand, also, that refresh
ments are to be served in the
school house. We congratulate the
juniors on the originality of this
scheme and hope that the whole af-
fair will be success. This is the
second social affair of any import
ance in the Warren High School
circle, the first being, as we all
know, an affair of the seniors a
couple OF weeks ago.
Spelling takes precedence over
everything else, nowadays. If a
student fails in spelling recitation
everything else is laid aside until
he has made up for it.
A high school play is beginning
to be talked Of. Certainly the sue
cess of the Warren High School in
this line, last year, ought to serve
as encouragement.
We wish to call attention. to
slight error in the SHEAF's High
School notes for last week. It is
the assertion about the juniors
spending a night in the closet of
Miss Campbell's room that we wish
to correct. They were in the closet
of Miss Angus room not Miss
Campbell's; but it really makes no
difference, since they certainly
were in some closet. The error in
the notes, then, may be regarded
simply as slip of the pen.

Advised to Clean UD.

The Dairy and Food Commits
siQner of Minnesota has sent out
circular requesting a general clean
ing up in the establishments that
handle milk, as well as on the farms
where milk is made. In part the
circular says: We request and
rule that all barns or stables where
COWS are kept and from which the
milk is sold for consumption, either
at wholesale or retail, shall be put
in frst-class sanitary condition be-
fore December 1st, 1908. All barns
and stables must be well lighted
and ventilated and drainage pro-
vided that will keep the ground dry
under the floor. The arrangement
of the barn must be so complete
that the COWS can and will be kept
clean. All foods used must be free
from decay and fermentation or
anything that will injure the milk.
Cows must not be permitted to
drink from stagnant pools. Where
cattle from the herd have been con-
demned and killed because of the
presence of tuberculosis, the prem
ises W herein they were kept must
be thoroughly whitewashed, add
ing to the whitewash sufficient car
bolic acid to destroy the lurking
germs. Unless the sanitary condi-
tions suggested are brought into ef-
feet you cannot hope to supply
pure and healthful article of milk
and we therefore trust it will be
your pleasure to cooperate with
this department in it's endeavor to
improve the milk supply of our
state.
Another recommendation that
ought to be made is in regard to OBJ
serving proper methods of cleanli-
ness in handling cream and making
butter. Those who buy butter at
the stores know that there is a
great difference in the quality, and
how difficult it often is to get good
article that is really fit for the table.

Mrs. Augusta Morck, wife of

aged 43 years.
us with deep feeling of sad
ness that we announce the above
fact. Another of Warren's happy
homes has been invaded by the
Angel of Death, and the faithful
wife and motherICcarried away to
the land of the blessed. Words are
indeed inadequate to express the
anguish and woe which the awful
blow has brought to the bereaved
husband, daughter and son, yet
through the tears and out of the
heart ache will come the sweet
memory of a beautiful life which
has left behind it the aroma
of a beautiful character, of a life of
devotion to Others, of a noble wom-
anhood. It is needless to say that
she was loving wife and mother,
her daily life being ample evidence
thereof. To her, her home was the
dearest placelo on earth. This home
is now madesdesolate by her depart
ure, yet out of thisCdesolation, too,
will come many fond memories of
other days'EtoI comfort and cheer
those who now sit in sadness and
loneliness. Augusta Quense, that
being her maiden name, was born
at New Ulm, IMinn. ,kNov. 10, 1860,
in the stirring times of civil strife
and Indians warfare. On Dec. 2,
1886, she was united in marriage to
her husband, Thorvald Morck, the
present Clerk of District Court of
Marshall county. To this union
has been born one daughter,
Jeanette, aged 16 years and one son,
Frederick, aged 13 years, whonow
are bereft of mothers guiding

full of Christian virtues and SER

represented at the funeral, the
former lodge taking charge thereof.
On Monday 0afternoon, after a
