IN MEMORIAM

Emma Grosvold Hanson was born
in Kongsberg, Norway, on January 8,
1874, her parents being Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin Grosvold or the town Of I'm
ion, in this county, both of whom sur
yive her. She came to this country
with them in infancy, and was reared
in the faith of the Norwegian Eyang.
Luth. church, of which she was a
steadfast member up to the time OF
her death. She was educated in the
public schools and in the parochial
school of the church, and was mar
ried to William B. Hanson Of this
city July 18th, 1895. they establishing
their family home at No. 102 Bah
cock street. Three children have
been born to them, Esther Lenore,
age 10 years, Lucille Margaret, age 8
years and Wilfred Clyde, age II years
Her husband and children survive
her. She also left to mourn her loss
Mrs. William Runkle and Mrs. Joseph
G. Moe, sisters, and Victor Grosvold,
brother, of this city and Mrs. O. NJ.
johnson, a sister of Wllmar, Mimi.
In the death of Mrs. Hanson the
community has lost one of it's most
valued members and the family and
friends have sustained a less which
can never be repaired. Her chief
characteristic was the ever present
desire to minister unto the needs,
comforts and pleasures Of others, the
spirit of personal selfishness seemed
to be entirely absent with her. Even
during the last hour Of her illness,
which was only for day, she expressed
anxiety to those about her, fearing
that they were mountaineering them
selves too much on her account. She
had word of comfort and good cheer
for everyone, and was one of those OF
whom it may be truly said that the
world is better because she has lived.
May God in his infinite goodness
and mercy reward her for the many
acts of kindness and for the beautiful
example of an ideal life which she led
is the earnest prayer Of the host Of
loving friends who mourn her untime-
Sly death.

New Process for Roadmaking.

A road made from sand and
sawdust is the latest style of road
making designed by George w.
Cooney, Minnesota State high
way engineer Last spring he
made a section Of road with Glow
er and rye on sand foundation.
This has been very successful.
The road made from sand and
sawdust is at Cambridge, in Isantl
County. Four inches of sawdust
were raked onto the sand road af-
ter being graded. This was work
ed into the sand by passing teams
and as fast as ruts are formed the
sawdust was raked into the ruts,
to be further mixed with sand

The above process has been
tried as an experiment on few

satisfactory. More road building

YOUTHFUL MIND IN DISTRESS
Awful Possibility That Loomed Before
Six-Year-Otd Jackie.

Six-year-o1d Jackie's mother be-
lieved that absolute truthfulness was
the only rock on which to build that
youthful gentleman's character, and
the consistent working out of this
principle did away, of course, with be-
lief in all such things as fairies, Santa
Claus, and other illusions dear to
childish hearts, and they became in
stead "make-believe" games, Santa
Claus in particular being pet Joke"
between his mother and himself.
Jackie came in from play one after
noon much excited and concerned.
Mother, Jimmie Norton believes
there is really and truly Santa
Claus He says he is sure that Santa
Claus does come down the chimney.
He wouldn' tssbelieve me at all when
I told him it was just joke" with
rising anxiety.
Jackie.s mother was somewhat nom
plused. We'll, son." she temporized,
perhaps Jimmie's mother will tell
him the joke some time soon, and
then"
''Oh, I hope she WILL" broke in
Jackie, forgetting his manners in his
earnestness, because, you know, If
she don't, when Jimmie has little boys
