CREAMERY FOR WARREN.

Now that Argyle and some of the
neighboring towns around us have
taken steps to establish creameries,
the SHEAF would call the attention
of the farmers in this vicinity and
the business men of Warren to the
necessity of doing something along
this line.
The SHEAF has always advocated
diversified farming as the correct
method for successful agriculture
in this valley. And the beginning
must be nade with the COW. With
the creamery industry established
other things will follow. We be.
lieve that now is the proper time tc
make move in this matter. The
people in the southern part of the
valley, especially in Norman
county started the creamery bust
ness a few years ago, and have
made success of it. It can be
made so in Marshall county. Farm
ers and business men should work
hand in hand in this matter, as it is
something that will benefit them
both. Let meetings be called and
the question discussed and agi-
tated. We think Supt. Hoverstad,
of the experimental farm would be
glad to come and help the thing
along. Now is the time 60 get
started, before the busy summer
time arrives.

High School Notes.

Several members of the senior
class and a few of the juniors have
just entered upon their half years
course in solid geometry, for this is
still required by the university.
.Unbounded joy reigned in the

superintendent announced that more
than two years, work IN Latin will
not be required OF any pupil here
after, provided he takes two years
in any other language.

ment is wonderful. .s.4..

One of the up country papers has
a thrilling story in it's current issue
of how a team of horses broke
through the ice ON the Little Fork
river and were rescued after siren

The interesting feature of the
story, perhaps, was contained in
the last paragraph. The writer
says that each of the horses was
given a bottle Of whiskey after they
had been gotten out of the lev
waters into the below zero atmo-
sphere. And commenting on this
the writer adds that 1--WE felt better
