Mr.. Reetz and wife were given
farewell reception by Milroy citizens
before departing for Canada.
That Milroy birthday club has got
busy once again. Mrs. Ole Peterson
has just reached her 21st birthay,
when all of the Milroy village mem
bers of the club were called in, and
the hostess, assisted by Miss Katie
Cain, served dainty luncheon, and
the guests presented Mrs. Peterson
with a handsome rug to make the
Peterson floors look less rugged.
The happy days continue in the
smaller communities.
The Heron Lake News says that
VIM. Griffin, one of the prominent
farmers of Weimer township, has
fully demonstrated that dairying is
the surest and safest proposition for
the farmer, especially here in south
ern Minnesota. While some farmers
are engaged more extensively in the
business, yet none can show a great
er per cent. of profit. Mr.. Griffin
keeps only nine COWS, and at the
present time they are giving him
gross income of $40 a month. There
may be other farmers in this locality
doing better than that, but we
haven't heard of it, Forty dollars
month from nine cows shows that
they are receiving proper care.
! At special meeting of the Lyon
county agricultural society, called
for the purpose of voting on an
amendment to the constitution, and
providing that each stakeholder be
allowed but one vote, regardless of
the number of shares of stock held,
205 votes were cast in favor of the
amendment and none against. That
was harmony, sure, beating any
thing yet pulled off in Redwood
county. A committee from the So
ciety waited upon the county COM
missioners and secured $500 for
assisting in defraying the expenses
of holding the 1906 county fair.
The Lyon county agricultural So
ciety officers propose to pull off the
biggest ever this year
The trout season opens April 18th
and the season for the majority Of
the other fish commences May 1st.
The closed season for the majority
of the fish of this state commences
with the first of the present month
and closes the first of May. The
closed season for trout is from Sep
TENDER LIST until the 18th of the
following April. A catch of twenty
five is the limit with few exceptions,
such as sun fish and bullheads. Sale
of the catch is also forbidden. 1t
would be we'll. for the early angler
to take cognizance of the fact that
the season does not open until May
LIST, with the exception of trout.
Pickerel, suckers, redhorse, carp
and bullheads may be taken from
the streams of the state at any time
during the year.
The Hector Commercial club has
promulgated some warm resolutions
for candidates for the legislature to
announce as their platform, or lose
the vote of the Hectorites. The club
demands that every candidate shall
state that he is unequivocally in
favor of reduction of railroad rates,
of two cent passenger rate, of the
adjustment of all free passes, ard
of an increase on the gross earnings
tax on railroads. The 1903 session
of the legislature. increased the gross
earnings tax on railroads one per
cent, and the demand of the Hector
club is the first that has been pushed
before the public for another in
crease. The resolutions are likely
to meet with some criticism on ac-
count of the last demand.
Wouldn't that Esoda-ize you, tho?
The Journal says that "the lid is
on" in Granite Falls, and that Mayor
Lende is doing his best to stop the
sale of liquor on Sunday. He is not
only going after Sunday liquor sell

to go with him and the three made
