A Marshall contemporary who evil
IDENTIFY had not heard of the Red
wood Falls trouncing given to the
Tracy bunch, reports the Tracy
game at Sleepy Eye and continues
as follows: The Tracy foot bali team
defeated Sleepy Eye So to O. They
must have tied down the safety valve
there and cut out the compound in
to direct. We feel reasonably happy
to think that the high school here
this year looked upon the sport as
brutal and very firing and are re-
serving their energies till later
date. But the way that Tracy bunch
simply runs over and simply out
classes every team in this part of
the state is worth more than pass
ing notice. Unless the game else
where has had a terrible slump,
Tracy now has the best school team
ever turned out in southwestern
Minnesota, if not in the state.

from rather than attract them to
the crowded centers of population.
The young man of today who is
qualifying himself to be thorough
going, intelligent farmer will be.the
happy and contented citizen of the
future and the girl who seeks any
better sort of fellow for husband
has false notions of life that are
pretty sure to bring her disappoint-
ment if not bitter sorrow.
Tally one more for big business
and personal liberty, from.the Gran
lite Falls Journal, which tells of an
old gentleman named Halvor Olson
Hommon, aged 68 years, who ran
the blacksmith shop at the lower
Yellow Medicine river crossing, and
who died in an clubhouse to school
house some three miles southwest
of there, where Geo. Crandall teach
es. Wednesday of last week. He
was in Wood Lake Tuesday and left
there for home sometime during the
afternoon. He probably got on the
wrong road and the snow storm
coming up he went to the school
house and going into an clubhouse
took off his coat and vest and sat
