The Eastern Marshall County
Teachers Association.

A number of the teachers of the
eastern part of Marshall County met
Co. Supt. L. NJ. Mithun in the New
folden school house Saturday fore
noon, Feb. II, 1905, for the purpose
of organizing teachers association.
The number in attendance and the
spirit of all present were proof of
keen interest, and great encour-
agement toward success. At about
ten O'Clock Co. Supt. Mithun, who
acted as temporary chairman called
meeting to order. Miss Burgess,
who had come over long and
tedious road from ROLLS was chosen
secretary. The following officers
were then elected: president, Mr..
c. Swanson; vice-president, MIR. A.
Matheson: secretary, Miss Ida Hal
vorson; assistant secretary, Miss
Mary Toombs, treasurer, Miss Jacob
ina Grimstad. Mrs. Hanson, Misses
Nickleson and E. johnson were elect
ed to constitute a programme COM
mittee. Mr.. a. Matheson, Mr.. G.
Swanson and Miss c.. Smedbron were
appointed committee to draw up a
constitution. These committees were
to report at the afternoon session.
1t was then decided to have our next
meeting at Middle River on the oath
of March. Just at this hour team
was in waiting at the door which
conveyed the jolly group to the hotel
where hearty dinner was partaken
of. After such an invigorating re-
past it seemed too great a distance
to go back to the school house, so
the afternoon session was held in the
waiting room OF the hotel. While
the committees were preparing their
reports, Mr.. Mithun gave the teach
ers a talk on ''How the Birds Help
the Farmers," and how to present
such to the pupils. The program for
the next meeting was read, the
thought to be, carried through the
program being Government, und-
er which head three topics are to be
discussed. -r~s
The committe to draw up a consti-
tuition found the time too short to
complete their work, so presented
five articles. which were adopted.
The remaining articles will be pre-
sented at the next meeting.
h Eighteen teachers became members
at this meeting and We hope the
number will steadily increase, with a
live and wholesome interest for work.
We wish to have every teacher, who
can come, be at our next meeting in
Middle River. Co. Supt- Mithun
has promised to be with us again.

4 new patent
ON TANNING MILL
Invented by Marshall County
Farmer Said to be the Best
Thing Out.

Among the new machinery exhibit
ed at Lundgren Wittensten 4 Co.'S.
ware house last week was a tanning
mill invented by S. Lofberg, of town
of Bloomer. All who saw it were
much impressed with the excellence
of its work in removing all kinds of
foul seed including cookie from wheat
and fax. The rapidity with which
the work can be done is an important
point in favor of this mill as 300
bushels OF grain per day can be easily
cleaned thereby. Mr.. Lofberg has
been granted a patent on his inven-
tion, and the mill which he exhibit
ed here is sample which he has con-
structed for his own use. The neigh
bors of Mr.. Lofberg are so well pleased
with his tanning mill and the supe-
riority of it's work that they have Sc
cured it to clean their grain, although
they have other tanning mills of
their. own. 1t is especially a good
cleaner of flax. Mr. Lofberg has
more than 25 orders for mills from
neighbors who have seen it work.
AS yet he has made no arrangement
to have his mills manufactured, but
may establish factory here for max
ing them.

The Sheaf feels inclined to add a
word or two to the foregoing. The
merchants of Warren are alive to the
fact that there has been great
change effected the last year or two,
in the relation between the city and
the surrounding country. The in
terest and attention given to dairying
and stock raising has grown greatly; !;
the country has been settled up with
people from east who had experience
in these industries; and lastly the
building of railroads and establish
ing of numerous villages where be-
fore was open territory tributary to
Warren, has made it necessary for
Warren merchants to meet growing
competition all ways possible.
The surest way to draw people to
our town is to pay them the most for
their products. On this point the
local merchants can give information
to any other town in the Red River
Valley. By joining in the establish
ment of a cream station they cut
down expense, secure better prices.
and treat each customer with
greater fairness than before. If all
the cream is handled at one station
the coming season it will have double
the business of either of the old sta
tions. The quantity being greater
there will be more buyers for it,
therefore better prices, and the pro
rata expenses being less, the price
paid the farmer can be expected to
exceed that of last year. There is no
way of combining to put down prices
in this case, for it isn't far to the
next station full of merchants eager
for share of the business.
We are sure Warren will be as good
q cream market the coming season as
it was the past, II not better.

To the Patrons of the Dairy.

About year ago we began to buy
cream direct from the farmers in
competition with the Warren Dairy
Association, which is as you know,
composed of all the merchants in
Warren except ourselves.
On account of the heavy losses con-
nected with the handling of cream
we have concluded not to handle it
through our store the coming season
but will act jointly with the Dairy
Association. In doing SO We are act
ing for the best and we hope you
will stand by US and the other mer-
chants of Warren, as you know that
this city has paid more for cream
the past year than any other place in
the entire state of Minnesota.
We do not think the cream market
in Warren will be very much lower
than it has been before for the rea-
son that the pro rata expenses of the
Dairy Association will be good deal
less than if each member should
handle cream Independently, and one
station, with a large quantity of
cream to offer, can command better
prices than several dealers each with
less cream can get.
1t is our aim, and will be as long
Ias we have anything to do with the
Dairy Association, to keep the price
on cream at the highest notch, and
we feel certain that this is the senti-
ment of the other merchants, also.
For some reasons of their own, the
merchants have heretofore been un-
able to reach an agreement on the
cream question, but now that ques-
tion has been solved and each mer-
chant and business man of Warren
will put his shoulder to the wheel and
work for the good of the dairy in
dustry by paying the farmer more for
his cream than he can get by shipp-
ing it. You will all understand that
it is to our own interest to pay
more for your cream than you can
get any where else in order to secure
your trade. We hope all of you will
give the Warren Dairy Association a
fair test, and We feel sure that you
will become permanent customer
When you bring in your can of
cream you will receive in exchange a
trade check good at our store. we
do hope this will meet with your ap-
tproval and that we will receive your
patronage.
The date on which.we will discon-
tinue buying cream at our store will
be March 1st, 1906. ..~.,--. ..,--
At some future date the stores may
also discontinue the handling of but
ter and eggs and make the Dairy AS
sociation the sole market for these
products, if it will be found to be to
the best interests of the both farmer
and merchant. ~.~
Until the time stated we will be
exceedingly glad to receive all your
cream, and after March lst, shall be
glad to exchange your trade checks
for good honest merchandise. We
thank you one and all for the pat
! ronage shown US in the past and
hope to see all our customers and
many new ones after the new ar
rangement goes into effect.
Very Respectfully,
y r

FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Comedian Crane declares that a te-
nacious memory is matter of training,
lust as is In another way the building
up of the biceps or other muscles.
There was a time when the actor
feared the strength of his memory
feared IT to an extent that caused him
agony. 1t was when forty-four years
ago he played the notary in The
Daughter of the Regiment" His
| fest speech was a long one, filed with
Illegal technology, and so afraid was he
OF forgetting IL that he wrote it down
and placed IL in the book he carried so
that he could read it. The moment for
his entrance came. The lawyers gown
he wore was built for much taller
man. As he stepped in view of the
audience he tripped over the gown, the
hook going in one direction and the
speech in another. The audience
howled, thinking the fall a part of the
business. This gave the actor chance
10 think. Falteringly ne began his
speech and went through it without
mistake. Ask Mr.. Crane today what
those lines were and he will rattle them
off as quickly as if he only memorized
them yesterday.
Many years ago Crane was called
upon to replace the comedian Of the
Hooley stock company in Chicago in
Led AStray. A part containing tOf-
ty-six pages of lines was handed to him
at noon. He played the part that night
without needing the help of the two
prompters, one on each side of the
atage. who were there TO save him from
tripping.
The part of David Harum was long
er than that of Hamlet. and yet Crane
says he didn't have any trouble with
IT He read the novel twice and the
play twice and that was all. The ac-
tor knows every line in every play in
which he has ever appeared, cues and
business. He gave a wonderful proof
of this only a short time ago The ar
rangements for the revival of she
Stops to Conquer had been made with
Crane as Hardeastle. George Tyler of
Liebler & Co. called on him to say that
the rehearsals would begin next morn
ing. "Will it be much effort for you to
get UP in Hardcastle?" asked Tyler.
Effort" answered Crane. 'Ha, ha;
that's good! Why. / played the part
a whole season nearly twenty-five years
ago. and could go on and play it to-
morrow"
crane read the part that night and
never had to resort TO the manuscript
after that
