Hopes Voters Have Sense.
NeWfOlden, Nav 3. '(

Editor of the Sheaf:
l thought I would drop you a few
lines about all the rumors we get in
this end of the county about county
division. l, for my part, don't think
we are ripe for that business yet, be-
cause the people can't hardly pay the
taxes they have now, and if it gets
once more as much l don't know
who will pay them. All the benefit
it can be will be to the Village OF
Middle River, and not to the farm
ers, and for those few who are
lucky enough to get an office and
they are the ones that don't like tc
work on a farm.
[ hope the voters of Marshall
County have sense enough to vote
against this. Yours truly,
L. P. BraEdstrom.

ROLLS.

April %. Seeding is we'll under
way and we look for fair crop.
We notice in the Sheaf some arti-
cles on county division and in parti-
cular an article by Germantown
correspondent taken from the Thief
River Falls News Our Germantown
friend living where he does would
naturally favor Thief River Falls,
but would it benefit us up here in
the northeast corner of the county
to have the county seat at Thief
River Falls? And was there any
need OF making his article SO point
ed? If he will take a trip over the
country he runs down so hard we
think he would find something be-
sides muskrats living there and
something that pays as much taxes
as he does himself.
We sa,v with him taxes are high
enough as they are and the county is
well enough as it is but by all means
if there is anything done don't move
the. county seat to Thief River Falls.

Tho Junior Triple Header.

The concert, spelling contest and
basket social given by the Junior
class of the Warren. High School drew
a large crowd to the opera house
last Friday evening. The musical
and literary program came first and
was thoroughly enjoyed from start to
finish. A piano solo by Miss Abra.
hanson was the initial number and
was much appreciated. The vocal
solo by L. N. Lodoen was we'll re-
ceived. The recitations given by
Miss Maggie Mattson and Miss Luel-
la lmsdahl were very funny and we'll
received, but it remained for Mrs. G.
S. Hull to bring down the house by
her rendition of "The Blighted
Courtship," which called forth an
encore, which was just as happily re-
sponded to. Mr.. O. A. Forde de-
lighted the audience by his violin
solo, to which Miss Louise Grinde-
land played the piano accompani-
ment Mrs. J. P. O'Connell render
ed a piano solo, selection from
Lohengrin, which was thoroughly
enjoyed. The songs furnished by
the boys chorus were we'll rendered
and elected the greatest applause.
There are some very good voices
among them.
The second chapter was the SPELL
ing match. Eighteen picked spoilers
from the High School and eighteen
of the best spoilers selected among
the citizens, were ranged on op-
posite side. Words from the editorial
page of the Minneapolis Journal for
that day were pronounced by Prof.
Angus in rapid succession, and one
after another of the crack spoilers on
either side were compelled to sit
down, although the words were
"dead easy" SO to speak. After a
spirited contest of about 25 minutes,
nine spoilers on each side remained
standing-and the match was .declar-
ed draw.
The basket social which followed
was the pleasing finale OF an evening
crowded with good things, and
brought many shekels into the Juni-
or excheQuer.

which was full of good thoughts,
elegantly expressed. Recitations and
vocal and instrumental music added

very delicious. Before dispensing

at intervals in the county papers and
the people of the county will be kept
informed of the progress Of the
movement.

mediate results, is to have any person
who kEows of a bad culvert, bridge
or piece Of road to report the same

they give space to everything they

Clean Up.

Clean Up.
Now that efforts are being made to
give Warren thorough spring house
cleaning, some suggestions on this
subject may.not be amiss.
One prolific source of untidness is
the throwing out of waste paper to
trail in the dirt and be carried by
the wind all over town. One citizen
may have his lawn raked clean and
nice and next day a. lot of paper
thrown out by careless neighbor will
cause it to.be all Uttered up again.
Paper. should be burned up in sheet
iron receptacles in the back yard, if
possible, and not in the street. If
paper is burned in heap, instead of
receptacle, bits of burning paper
will be scattered by the wind, caus-
ing untidiness and also be a source
of danger. If it ever should be neces-
sary to throw away a bit.. ..ol paper, it
should be wadded or rolled up as in
that form it will be much less of
nuisance. Don't throw waste paper
on the streets, nor rubbish of any
kind.
Warren ought to have all rubbish
removed from streets and cutters, as
we'll as from back yards, alleys and
vacant lots. In the gutter in front
OF one of our hotels we. saw the other
day, several old shoes and rubbers,
half dozen tin cans, broken bottles,
some old bones, paper, rags, banana
peelings, manure and a lot of other
rubbish. Now the question is, is it
the city. or the property owner that
should clean the street and gutter
alongside of it. Somebody should do
it, that is certain. Merchants should
refrain from throwing sweepings and
rubbish into the streets in front of
themA
Another thing that ought to be
stopped we think is. the habit of some
persons to throw tin cans and rub
bish into the river. We ought to en-
deavor, it seems to US, to keep the
little stream that meanders through
our city as clean and free from con-
tamination as possible. To look at
the river when the water is low and
see all the ugly things exposed to
view is shocking to the esthetic sense
of the most barbarous Hottentot. Let
US keep the river clean, and always
tfemembe that -a4ere=af afe-people liYiag
farther down stream who may be
harmed by our careless acts.
We think it would be we'll to have
public spring cleaning day for the
city. In Chicago and many othe,
towns such day is designated by the
mayor when all the.people including
the children join in removing filth
and uncleanliness. The children car
do great deal to litter up a town
and also to keep it clean, if thei1
energies are directed in the right
channel. A
Much has been done this spring tt
make Warren a clean town, but q
great deal remains to be done. Il
everybody takes hold in earnest, War.
rem will be the lefty beautiful" this
summer, and the many visitors who
will come here will then get. a gooC
impression of our town.

Sleeping in tents has become more

If 1t keeps on increasing at the rate
that has characterized 1t of late, will
before long become a chronic one with
people of this city. In many of the
lawns of the city today there are
pitched good-sized white canvas tents,
within which are cots that hold in
slumber every night tired human
frames that enjoy the coolness of out

lutte rest in the stimulating night air
and hungry lungs that fairly eat up
the ozone that is to be had in larger
quantities than are possible within
