hauling wheat TO a thresher. Gro

with sheaves OF wheat and while
the cart was going down Tennison 3
bill, stopped the steers and tried to
get off the cart. Before they could
get down, the steers started and
the incline being quiet steep, the
load OF wheat was overturned. A

The case came to trial, but the evil

HOME FOR THE AGED
WILL BE DEDICATED

The new building for the aged
now about finished at Bethe sda
Homes at Eagle Lake will be dedi-
Gated with appropriate exercises
on Sunday. November Goth. The
main address of the day will be ce-
livered in the forenoon by Rev. Jo-
han Mattson, Battle Lake, presi-
dent of the Bethesda Homes Corpor-
alton, and a number of others will
also address the people who will
gather to witness the dedication.
The movement for the new build
ing was started about five years
ago, but the actual work IF erec-
tion did not commence before last
spring on account of lack of means.
The last two years the donations
have been very liberal, however,
both on the part of the people in
general and especially the people of
Wi|lmar and vicinity, and last
spring the board of trustees felt
warranted to have the contract let.
The work has been done by Sender
son & Thompson of Spicer.
The building, when completed,
will cost about $4,000. 1t will pro-
vide a home for at least 20 old peo-
pie. The plan is to build an addi-
tion as large as the present build
ing as soon as the means will war
rant it, and this will mean that the
home eventually will be able to
take care of so people.
The new home will not only care
for old people belonging to the Lu-
theran Free church but will care
for others in need as far as the &C.
j commodations will permit.

OF JUDGE OVALE

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the announcement of Alva
R. Hunt, the gentleman who is
making the race as an independent
candidate for the Office of Judge of
the district court of this the
Twelfth Judicial district against
Judge Quale who was regularly
nominated at the recent primary
election. For the past twenty six
years there has not been such a
thing as contest of any sort in the
matter of the electing of district
court judge for this district so far
as we can recall. No such thing as
strife over this ofice-partisan or
non-partisan-has taken place dur
ing all these years. and yet, Mr..
Hunt comes before the people as an
independent candidate for the pur-
pose. he says, of taking the judi
ciary out of politics. Mr.. Hunt
has lost sight of the fact that both
of the present judges of this dis
trict hold their positions through
fitness for the place rather than
partisan politics. If we remember
correctly, Judge Qvale was ap-
pointed to his first term and has
since been reelected without oppo-
sition. Now the question is where
do partisan politics come in? The
answer is nowhere. 1t is trick of
the politician, one that the voters
ought not, and, we think, will not
be influenced by at the polls in
November. - Independent Press,

known have been raging for num-
Der of days, tho it is now thought
that most of its fury is spent. The
towns of Beaudette, Spooner, Pitt,
Sweift, Zipole, Engle and Gravel
Pit Spur have been totally de-
stroyed and a number Of others are
partly burned. The loss of life is
estimated at 1000, and 5000 peo-
pie are homeless and practically
penniless. Appeals were sent to
the state officials and relief trains
are hurrying provisions to the
scene of the tragedy. The property
loss is estimated at between$ 50,-
000,000 and $l00. 100000
