This week we have not much news,
SO we beg to mention some other i'm
portant points
| Look after your calves. They are
apt to have lice and you can buy lice
powder at the creamery.
We are having an exceptionally wet
spring, and at this writing there is
some seeding yet to be done.
Louis Moline will have an auction
May ~ and retire from farming, which
| he has kept at for over 40 years.
Louis J. Johnson, who lives just
across our border line, in Lake Lii
liam, will have an auction sale May 3.
Mrs. Z. Jones of Fahlun and son
Willie, of kenmare, paid welcome
visit at S. Stenberg'S Monday after
noon.
Rev. P. G. Nilsson will preach at $.
p. NJ. Peterson's schoolhouse in Gen.
nessee Thursday evening. Hope a
crowd will turn out to hear him.
There are several talking w Washing-
ton state nowadays, but we suppose
when the days get warm they will for
get Washington and stay in Mime
sofa.
Hogs were marketed from here Mon
day. Hogs have been dropping in
price lately and there is not such an
inducelnent this spring to raise them
as it was last year.
Grass will come out late this spring,
but it is good thing we have plenty
of hay here. Some have been selling
it as cheap as $500 a ton, which is
very cheap price.
We are glad to report new SUBJ
scriber for the TRIBUNE. He is tenn
perance boy and formerly had the Ca
Zette. So our crowd of good, strong
temperance advocates is increasing.
It is a pleasure to pass by place
on the outside. Children can rake the
there is always much to do on farm.
Nearly every farmer is adding some
apple trees to his orchard this spring,
which is a good thing. If this country
will improve in proportion the coming
20 years as it has been the last 20, it
viii be beautiful one, probably as
good as Washington.
!: Earnest Stenbergl- returned x from
Paynesville Tuesday. where he has
been doctOring for month. He has
visited nine doctors and spent a con-
amount of money without
getting better. He is now obliged to
undergo an amputation of his leg.
Earnest has the sympathy of the whole
We are deeply interested in ''OT-
sides," who has all the time bestowed
comments upon us, which we can not
regard as an i'll feeling toward US, as
we know we have never done him a
particle Of harm. But when he stated
that our buttermaker spilled a full
churn of cream, he lied just one-half.
We believe he does not know any
better.
Sunday forenoon Rev. p. &. Nilsson
delivered sermon on a very striking
subject at this time of year: "Seed,
seeded in four kinds of felds.' Nil
son is noted preacher and always
has some good and interesting points.
On account of bad roads the meeting
for last Sunday evening was post
poned, but next Sunday services will
be held as usual.
AS Willmar has demonstrated that
city affairs can be run by others than
Republicans, isn't that an indica-
ton that our county affairs could be
run without politics too? And if our
friends all over the county have the
same opinion we feel sure that set

upon dairying as follows: ''rhe
dairyman who milks with wet hands
and the but,ermaker who does not
thoroughly steam out his milk pumps,
and pipes, are both going to the same
place when they die--and if they are
going to heaven the writer is willing
to take chances on the other place."
This Seems to be hard statement. but
