Milk Dealers at WiIlmar.

H. T. Sondergaard, Inspector for
the Dairy and Food Department, made
our city visit last Thursday, and
incidentally looked up the milk dealers
of our town. All persons who sell
milk from two or more COWS are con-
sidered milk dealers, and are required
to take out state licenses costing 81. 90
year. The following persons have
milk licenses at Willmar:
Mrs. Clara Burns, Henry Howell,
O.. H. Locken, Hans Garstad, Halvor
Mittvet, o. B. Glarum, Mrs. B. Gun
derson, H. G. Ruud, w. E. Summer
vile, C. R. Bonde, Chr. johnson, A.
O.. Qvale, Edward Hanson, Swalin
Bros, M. O. Thorpe, Martin Knutson.
Thela requires a test OF 3.5 for milk,
and 20 percent butter fat for cream.
Mr.. Sondergaard took samples from
the stock of all the milkmen whom he
met on the streets during his stay here,
and tests here showed great variance
in quality. One dealer was selling
cream that tested 80 percent at 20 cents
a pint, delivered, actually at a loss
over what he could have disposed o1
the same in bulk at the creamery
Other tests Of the cream samples ran
slightly below the legal requirement.
All the milk samples, however, came
above the legal requirement, which
speaks we'll for our dealers.

Concert Pleased Large Audience.

Those people who braved the in
tense cold of last Friday evening land
there were enough of them to COM
fortably fill the hall were we'll repaid
for going. Prof. Fridolph Lindholm
proved delightful surprise to those
who had not heard him before, and
those who had were pleased with the
development of the great musical tai
ents of the rising young artist. He
played the most difficult selections with
the assurance and touch of the master
of the king of musical instruments.
Everyone of the ten selections were
applauded, and he responded to an
encore at the close of each of his three
appearances. An extra number,
Hungarian Idyll," was added to the
program as published last week, and
the three encores were a "Cradle
Song" by Bach, 'The Last Rose of
Sumner" and "Bercuse' by GODDARD.
Miss Alfrida Lindholm, the accom-
panist, who did her part very well,
is sister of the artist. Misses Marion
Minton and Nellie Rasmussen, the
vocalists, were both encored. The
High School orchestra, under whose
auspices the concert had been arranged,
rendered selections at the opening and
close in creditable manner. A

Tho Stock judging Course.

The two weeks judging course given
at the Minnesota School of Agricul-
ture is now over and it proved to be
very successful. There was enrolled
for this course 81 students who are far
mers throughout this state and adjoin-
, ing states.
Great interest was shown in the
judging of cattle, horses, swine and
sheep, and never before have the
short course students had an oppor-
! tunity to score and place the cham
pion herd of steers, and the best herd
of five steers at the International Ex-
position, but they had that privilege
this year, a privilege which the far
mers do not really realize the value
of They also had before them differ
ent types of horses from the small
saddle horse to the heavy draft horse
and could compare the different
breeds and types. This judging
course closed Jan. 10Th and on Jan.
22nd the lecture course commenced
and will continue until Feb. 10th, 1907.
There are at the present 56 enrolled
for this lecture course. In this course
lectures are given on the selection of
farms, plowing of farms, the develop
ment of fields and their drainage, con-
struction of roads, and the building
of fences. Much attention is given to
the general management of the farm,
rotation of crops, etc.
All lectures given are confined to in
struction mainly to things which the
students or farmers can put to prac-
tice on the Minnesota FARMS.
The advancement in all lines of
agricultural pursuits has never been
so rapid as it is at present. The need
for agriculture education has never
been so keenly felt as it is today, and
the farmers who are not availing
themselves of the opportunity Of
spending at least two or three weeks
at the agricultural school while. this
short course is going on are certainly
missing q great deal. p. 0. S.

Mission District Divided.

NEW LONDON, Jan. 23.-The an.
nual meeting of the Pacific District OF
the Minnesota Conference of the
Swedish Lutheran church, which
closed it's sessions here today, decid.
ed finally to divide the district into
two districts, subject to the approval
OF the Conference. The vote was prac.
tically unanimous, only one lay dele.
gate and two pastors voting in the
negative. The dividing line would
pass between Darwin and Litchfield.
The east portion would be called the
Cokato District and the western Dor
tion the Willmar District. The latter
would contain eight pastors and all
the congregations in western Meeker,
Kandiyohi, Swift, and Steven
counties. These pastors are Revs. O.
Hallberg of Litchfeld, B. O. Berg o1
Beckville, G. O. Schoberg of Atwater
S. A. Lindholm of Tripolis, J. O.
Lundberg of Svea, c.. Peterson Of
Willmar, A. F. Seastrand OF New
London and Erick Norsen of Benson
Thus the old historic Pacific district
will be no more under that name
The name Pacific was given the dis.
trict back in the early days owing tc
the location along the old original St.
Paul & Pacific Railway. One attempt
was made before to divide the distric,
which has become rather large for the
purposes of such an organization, but
the sentiment was more divided an6
the attempt fell through. Other rec
ommend ations to the Conference
adopted we're to grant financial aid tc
the Herman and Christine churches
to the latter providing that a pastor il
secured and no union is effected with
the Rosendale church. Another was
that special fund be created for the
payment of the salaries of the officers
of the Conference instead of the money
being taken out of the mission fund
The attendance at the meeting was
good, all the pastors being present
and about thirty lay delegates. The
officers elected for the ensuing year
or until the division is satisfied are
Rev. G. Peterson, president; P. E.
Berg (Watertown) vice president: Rev
Swan johnson (Moore's Prairie) Secy
Rev. J. B. Bennett, (Cokato) treasurer

How to Order in a Restaurant.

"There are all sorts of ways of
ordering from bill of fare Some
people go in with an air of being on
familiar terms with the establish
ment," writes Elizabeth NJ Rhodes in
the February Delineator. "They call
the waiter Henry as a beginning,
and give their order in confidential
tone, as if to imply that Henry under
stands that they are used to the best
and nothing short of that is good
enough for them. just as Henry
thinks he has the order, they beckon
him back and say, Just little ice in
that, please or, you understand no
Worcestershire with mine.' And
when Henry goes off they lean back
complacently, as who would say, you
see, I'm quite used to living in this
style them " Miss Rhodes gives a
concise summary of the conventional
tiles of the restaurant, including
choice of table, ordering, la carte
and table d'hote, payment of bill and
tipping the waiter.

Sheriff sonde Secures Arrest Of Man
:.ssss:@T whose Sudden Disappearance
"-sS Saved PiERers in 1905.

Sheriff Bonde made his first capture
last week, when he landed W. r. Co.
bell, the important States witness
who mysteriously disappeared on the
eve of what would have been the first
trial of A. o. Bryant for blind pig
glng two years ago. The jury had
been drawn and the trial was to have
proceeded the next morning, but dur
ing the night the witness left for parts
unknown and the case with several
others had to be abandoned. A war
rant was issued for him at the time,
but he made himself scarce in the
State.'- Chief of Police Bonde never
forgot this dirty trick, and when last
week he learned that Gobell was at
Fergus Falls, he Immediately wired to
the Otter Tail county sheriff to appre-
hend him. Sheriff Bonde went for him
and arrived with his prisoner Sunday
evening. He made his first appear.
ance before Judge Qvale Monday, but
as he could offer no satisfactory ex.
planation of his behavior, he was re-
manded to the jail without bail and the
county attorney was instruc' ed to draw
:, up charges against him for contempt
, OF court. Yesterday he was arraigned,
evidence was introduced to prove his
guilt, and he was sentenced to serve
ninety days in the county jail, to which
he, is now committed. No doubt he
could tell an interesting story as tc
what it was that induced his sudden
desire to leave. our city two years ago
bat he avoids the subject. Moreover
he is morose and has so far refused
to partake of any food at Bonde's
county hotel. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that his self-imposed fast will
last during the whole time in which he
will expiate his lapse of constancy
to the cause of law enforcement.
