THE LINCOLN CENTENA z q.


Maurin's hall was crowded Friday
night, at the celebration Of the
hundredth birthday Of Abraham
Lincoln. The. audience was an APP
preciatlve one and the evening was
interesting and profitable for all con-
cerned. ND.
D. Corbin resided and. made ap-
proprlate opening remarks. Rev.
Jewell began the program with an
Invocation. During the evening q
quarettte composed of Mrs. Chas.
Jensen. Miss Laura Brannen, Ethan
Brown and John T. Hobllt gave selec-
tions in fine style, including the Battle
Hymn of the Republic and Star
Spangled Banner. Miss Maybelle
Brannen gave piano solo and Miss
Laura Brannen sang 'sOld Kentucky
Home both numbers being well
received. Rev. North read q paper on
the B0yho0d of Lincoln. It was in his
crisp and characteristic style and very
interesting. He said while all who
were to speak we're, except himself,
either veterans or sons of veterans. he
had done the best he could. having
married the daughter Of a veteran.
Mr.. North pictured the environment of
Lincoln 8 youth, described the customs
and the shiftless habits of the
mountaineers, and also paid tribute
to their good qualities. he told of the
influence of Lincoln 8 mother and how
the youth loved nature and literature.
The only fault in Mr.. North's paper
was It's briefness.
Conrade J. H. Burial gave Lincoln s
Gofr chs1r cd nd
1t certainly was very appropriate that
one of those who answered the call Of
Father Abraham should give the
address, and it was excellently given.
Frank F. Turner convulsed the
crowd with humorous reading
Elder Perkins on Cackling Women.
Mr.. Turner was appropriately cos
tuned
Rev. Jewell spoke on the moral
attributes Of Lincoln, dwelling on his
integrity, honesty, love Of truth,
humility, and fairness, and giving
illustrations. The address showed
much research and was among the best
features Of the evening.
&. E. Vasaly, in the absence of E.
A. King, took the subject assigned to
Mr.. King, and sketched the life Of
Lincoln calling attention to various
aspects of his genius, and, IN discuss
ing Lincoln's power as an orator and
writer, read the Second Inaugural and
the Letter to Miss Bixby. He spoke
Of the great humanity of LINCOLN as his
striking characteristic.
Prof. H. E. White analysed the
various reasons why greatness was
attributed to Lincoln and summed all
in the statement that Lincoln was like
a prophet OF old. able to go to the top
Of the mountain and see the vision of
good. and bring it down to the com
prehension OF the multitude. The
point was well brought out and was
carefully and skillfully presented.
America, sung by all, and the
benediction by Rev. North, closed a
profitable evening.
The hall was beautifully decorated
in the national colors. Thanks are
especially due Mr.. Corbin, Arthur
Jones and Ed. Hennen for their labor,
to Mr.. Blake for the large flags. to
Mr.. Adams for the large picture Of
Lincoln, to the singers. and to all who
helped to make the evening a great
success

INDIVIDUAL EAR TEST OF SEED
CORN.
FURNISHED by the Minnesota Farmers
Institutes. st. Antony Park,
st. Paul, MINI.

AAA1AAoUIOos w. AUUOAy n.
st. Paul, M1nn.)
To make the Individual ear test, take
box 36 inches square and 6 inches
deep, till with sawdust bran or sand
and moisten we'll. Take cotton cloth
(sheetlng) large enough TO completely
cover top OF box, mark off 2 inch
squares with lead pencil and number
squares. This makes 1924 squares or
space enough to test the seed needed
on twenty acres.
Secure three or four 6-inch fence
boards. Divide the boards into 2 IL
inch spaces by driving nails every 2
10 inch and number the spaces.
Select the best seed ears you have and
with knife remove 10 kernels. Place
these ten kernels on square No. IN
the box and place the ear on space
No. l on the board. Treat each in the
same manner being careful to place
the ear on the space corresponding in
number to the square in the box on
which the kernels were placed. In
this manner 1T is easy to tell from
which ear the kernels upon any one
of the squares came.
Cover the box with a damp cloth
and a little more sawdust and set
away in a warm place In the kitchen
or living room and keep moist but
not too wet. In five or seven days
examine for termination. Note the
number Of kernels starting and vigor
of growth. On square No. 10 you
may find 10 kernels sprouted. This
means that ear on space 10 will
germlnate 100 per cent On square
No. 20 you may find only 8 kernels
growing which means 80 per cent for
ear No. 20-not good enough for seed
so this ear may be discarded. No ear
should be saved for seed that falls
below 80 per cent. The box should be
examined from time to time and any
ears that have not sprouted in to z
days under favorable conditions
should be discarded.
It might be we'll to divide the ears
into two piles one with 30 per cent
and the other with 100 per cent
terminating power. 324 ears will
plant from 10 to 20 acres of corn after
Smelling off tip and butt kernels,
which should be done. z

STIMULATES BUSINESS
Great Impetus Given Retail Trade by
the Cold Wave This Week.
Shoppers Active.

Fargo business men haven't offered
any complaint about the weather.
Even though snow has to be shoveled
from the walk in 'front.' in consider
able quantity, that don't make any
difference. Retail business in many
lines has doubled during the past
three days. Clothing stores as well
as dry goods centers, have ben packed
with shoppers. The moderation in
temperature last evening brought hun
dreds out on Broadway.
Scores parade the retail district for
no other purpose than that of viewing
the shop windows which have already
become interesting with holiday goods
and novelties. Fargo can boast of
many window dressers in the first
rank and the displays that are ar
ranged have attracted the attention Of
all who pass. From this time on it
is expected that the retail district will
present busy appearance at all hours
when it is possible for the buyer Of
the household to get down town.
