WHAT is THE SOIL?
Extent Of This Precious but Limited
Surface Material

Extent Of This Precious but Limited
Surface Material.
If you were asked to name the most
important of mineral substances, you
would doubtless hesitate for moment
and weigh the respective merits of
coal, iron and the precious metals.
Only after some consideration prob
ably would it occur to you that these
highly useful substances have insig-
nificant value as compared with that
familiar mixture Of ground up min
erals which we call the soil.
Man could make shift to live and
even In a measure to progress with
out glass or cement or metals, but his
very life depends upon the little film
Of triturated rock that is spread over
the surface of the globe in the form
Of earth. The constituents of this are
metamorphosed into the substance Of
plants and ultimately into the tissues
Of man himself.
Properly to understand the matter,
however, 1t must be comprehended
that the soil Is no important part Of
the earth's structure, except from a
strictly human standpoint. At, best 1t
is only little film Of material frayed
off from the jacket called: the earth's
crust. To giant of such size that
the earth were to him what an apple
Is to us the soil would be no more
than the bloom on the peach. !:
r With his handkerchief he could wipe
OF the films Of water that we call
oceans, like 50 much dew. and polish
on the soil rs we rub the bloom from
an apple, clear down to the rock foun.

PASSED BEYOND
4 LIMITS OF LIFE
Beruitta MarkhuS' Life Journey
is Ended, Graced by Fruits
of Purity and Goodness

A beautiful life was ended in the
death of Lima Bergitta Markhus
last Thursday afternoon at 3:3(
O'Clock, at her home in this city.
She has been ailing for several
years at times, and again becoming
apparently quite we'll, before being
taken with the last illness. Her
death is a hard blow to the family
and her large circle of friends.
Lima Bergitta Markhus was born
at Norway Lake, May 80, 1877.
Her father was Rev. l.. J. Mark
hus, one Of the pioneer pastors of
the county, who died in 1885, and
her mother, Ingrid Markhus, sur
wives her. The deceased came to
Willmar with the family in 1885.
She attended the public schools un-
til II years of age, after which she
entered the Ladies' Seminary at
Redwing. She graduated from
that institution in 1897. She later
returned there to teach, but was
obliged to abandon this six years
ago on account of her failing
health. Her mother has also been
a teacher at the Redwing Seminary,
but abandoned the work in order
to care for her daughter. The de-
ceased has spent two years in the
state of Washington and one winter
in California in the interest of her
health. She was a very ambitious
girl and was proficient in the art
of painting and was also an expert
stenographer.
Besides the griefstricken mother,
the departed leaves three brothers,
William T. and Alfred L. of this
city, and Olof G. Markhus of Shaw
nee, Okla. Other relatives who ar
rived here to attend the funeral
We're Z. E. Egge, an uncle, of Web
ster, S. D.; Mrs. d. C. Jordahl, an
aunt, of Norway Lake, and George
Markhus, a cousin, of Minneapolis.
The funeral occurred Monday af-
tcrnoon, the cortege leaving the
family residenbe at two o'clock.
At 2:3O impressive services were
held in the Synod church, which
had been beautifully decorated for
the occasion. After the singing OF
hymns there was first scripture
reading by the pastor, Rev. J. N.
Anderson. He then followed with
the funeral sermon, using as his
t,xt: He hath done all things
well.' Rev. O. Estrem then read
the 23d psalm and Rev. D. C. Jor-
dahl made some remarks appropri-
ate to the sad occasion. The church
choir sang a beautiful anthem at
the close.
The interment took place at the
Synod cemetery in the east part of
the city, Rev. Anderson officiating
at the grave.

Psychology Of GAMBLING.

The fundamental basis Of the injury
done by gambling Is tendency to over
rate the chances Of winning. When a
man speculates by stalking, say, fl on
the chance Of winning f1OO, observes an
English writer in Nature, the notion of
winning f1OO makes big impression
on his mind and means something more
real to him than the idea that the odds
are POO to l against him, say. He
forms clear mental picture Of the
prize. and the odds do not present the
same picture to his mind Consequent.
~, he exaggerates his prospects.
