On Wednesday evening of last week
quite number of students and friends
gathered in the Seminary chapel
Inc occasion for the meeting was the
anniversary of the dedication Of
Luther College and similar SYNOD
Institutions generally dedicated - on
that day. After few Introductory
remarks Rev. Heimdahl introduced
Prof. Omlie, who in well-chosen
words spoke of what led to the found
alton OF the famous Luther COLLEGE,
and how after many struggles It was
finally dedicated to be a place where
the young people could secure a good
Christian education and especially for
the training of minister's for the
Lutheran Synod. He also said q few
words concerning the celebration
taking place at Luther College every
18th OF October He closed BY ex-
pressing the hope that Luther COLLEGE
would always be true to her motto.
"For God and the Church." It ia
needless to say that his speech was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present,
being both instructive and inspiring.
Prof. Hanson then delivered q speech
on 1.-The Importance of a Christian
Education. !" He said that in Order to
become men and women it was not
only necessary that We should develop

powers His speech throughout was

presented some new thoughts that
would be we'll for us to keep and think
over.

have almost entirely disappeared,
although large herds are still grazed
in some sections of the territory. The
smaller punches of Shorthorns and
higher bred cattle generally are con-
tipually increasing in number, and
the characteristics of the country are
such that it is not remarkable as stock
OF almost every kind can be fattened
more readily and made comfortable
with less shelter than in almost any
other section of the Union. Hogs
thrive to perfection and shipments of
them are increasing to phenomena al
degree. Alfalfa grows in abund ance.
Almost every root vegetable used in
swine fattening can be raised with but
little attention. Corn can be profita-
bly, fed and fine mast? is found in
large quantities in, many localities.
In some portions of the territory sheep
are advantageously handled, but not
in numbers it would seem conditions
justify. Anyone familiar with the
breeding OF the better grade of horses
and mules will at once recognize in
Oklahoma latitude and climate that
cannot be surpassed in this particu-
lar. Everything from the thorough
bred to the pillow horse will be found
there.

tor Than in Any Other Portion Of
the Country.
The products of the soil of Oklaho-
ma are of a more diversified charac-
ter than any other portion of this
country. Wheat, corn, rye, barley,
oats, cotton, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
buckwheat, castor beans, Kaffir corn,
alfalfa hay, and numerous other pro-
ducts of the soil grow successfully side
by side. The wheat fields produce
twenty-five million bushels of wheat.
ln the season of 1902 the cotton crop
amounted to 2ls, 900 bales, so far as a
record was kept, but no doubt much
WAS marketed which was not counted.
During the past few years farmers In
Oklahoma have been raising from IL
to As bushels of wheat per acre, from
so to ITO bushels of oats, from 40 to 80
bushels of corn, and one-half to one
bale of cotton per acre.

DOUBLE GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRA-
 A delightful family gathering took place, Saturday afternoon, at the beau- tiful new residence of Judge J. F. Ad- dis in the village. The gathering was in honor of the 5Oth wedding anniver- sary of MT and Mrs Stanley Legrand Warner of Still River and of MT and Mrs Ebenezer B. Marsh, who live just west of the village. Mrs Warner and Mrs Marsh are sisters, daughters of the late Daniel WanZer. The marriage took place at MT Wanzer's homestead, now owned by Selectman George w. Durgy in Sherman. They were mar ried by justice of the peace, in ac- cordance with the custom of the Quakers. Hon Henry O. Warner was best man and Miss Mary Jane Briggs bridesmaid. Eugenia P. Wanzer (Mrs Warner) and Hannah Briggs Wanzer (Mrs Marsh) are twin sisters. A snow storm marked the day of the wedding
 in 1853, quite in contrast with the pleasant weather of Saturday after noon.' At p. ID. the following per sons sat down to dinner in Judge Ad- dis home: MT and Mrs Stanley L. Warner, Mr and Mrs B. B. Marsh, Judge Addis and family, Dea and Mrs Edwin Seeley of Roxbury, Hon Henry o. Warner, J. Albert Blackman of Newtown, Attorney Frank w. Marsh, Miss Mabel Marsh, MT and Mrs D. Q.
