NEED OF GOOD ROADS
Some Rural Routes are in Danger of
Being Discontinued Where the
Roads are Bad.

Inspector Collier. of the p~ostoffice
department, was in the city all day
thursday and had a conference with
the carriers on the rural routes out
OF Mitchell. and the principal sub
Jeot under discussion between the
interested parties was the condition
of the roads over which the mail
carriers were forced to travel to de-
liver mail to the farmers. The re-
ports that the mail carriers had to
make were in some instances bad,
That they have to encounter some
very poor strips of road along their
line of route. The inspector made
note of these instances for future
reference.
Mr.. Collier said that the govern
ment was looking up the good roads
idea pretty thoroughly and that it
is going to make a demand on the
part of the patrons along the line of
routes to see that the roads are kept
good during the entire year. Mr.. Col
lier said that when the patrons show
ed a disposition to let the roads take
"a = SASAAoCAVOS anu WALL UOI klV0
the proper assistance to the mail
carriers the routes are being chang
ed to other parts of the county. He
said that this sytsem has been fol-
lowed in several cases and it has had
a wholesome effect on the farmers
looking after the roads.
In some of the counties of this
state where MI. Collier has been out
on an inspection trip he said that he
discovered on many farms a King
road drag, and which was used q
great many times during the year.
After a rain the farmer got his drag
out and in less than a half a day he
had his road in fine shape again.
Down in Clay county Mr.. Collier said
the farmers showed a disposition to
keep the roads in front of their own
farm. To them, he said, it appeared
as sort of a personal pride and 1t
extended all along a stretch of road
which was practically ideal. In those
cases Mr.. Collier said the farmers
did not find it a hard task to keep
their roadways good, for the reason
that they neve let them get I'd
after once fixing them up.
There is a possibility of some of
the routes in this county being chang
ed unless there is a notable improve
ment in some sections. The people
know where the bad roads are and it
will be up to them to fix them.

While there has been a great deal of
talk in regard to the affairs of the

pear to have been in the way of claims
of favoritism in disposal Of property.
Since the change, Special Agent Ell

mighty reality.
The Sunday school program, which
was an Easter service entitled "Chlist
the ConQueror." was rendered in a
and interesting manner by
tne school. The recitations, songs and
readings were all Of a high order and
revealed the careful drill that had
oeen given in the preparation of the
program.
At the evening service the choir
rendered several beautiful Easter Sc
lectlons and the pastor spoke on the
meme, 'Newness of Life" a life that
Is offered to all through the work of

Ihen as a most fitting service for the
season and a a grand close to a most
dellghtful Easter day was the bap-

forth the fact that they have died,
and been buried with Christ and are

At OTHER CHURCHES
Easter Sunday was Appropriately OBJ
served by Other Churches of the
Citv-

Easter Sunday did not dawn any
too invitingly for an attractive day
and really about the worst day of the
entire month of March came on this
occasion. 1t did not detract, how
ever, from a large attendance at the
churches, all of which made some
special effort toward the observance
of this great festival day. Most of the
churches paid particular attention to
the decorations and on many in
stances they were very attractive.
The services at the Holy Family
church started with the early morn
ing Mass at $3.50 O'Clock and was fol-
lowed by High Mass at 1890 O'Clock,
when a very large audience filled the
beautiful auditorium of the church
and listened with great interest to
the sermon and the especially pre-
pared program of music given by the
choir with Miss Hermenia Reihsen at
the organ. Owing to the illness of
Father Shea the pulpit was filled by
Father Mccarthy. whose sermon was
much appreciated.
At the Presbyterian church DR.. T.
j. Macmurray preached IN Easter
sermon of great value to the aud
fence which gathered in the morning
to attend the service. His subject was
"The Risen Christ and the Doctrine
of Immortality" The sermon was a
message of good cheer and set forth
the speakers thoughts in an impress
i've way. Some special music was rem
dered by the choir and the decora-
lions were very attractive.
St. Mary's Episcopal church had a
large audience at the morning SER
vice. The decorations were harmon
ious, and a fine program of music was
rendered by the choir. Mr.. Barnett
gave an appropriate Easter sermon
which contained many fine sentiments
in sympathy with the occasion and fos-
tival celebrated. In the afternoon at
4 o'clock a childrens' vesper service
was given, and the little children par
ticipated in the exercises that follow
ed.
Owing to the absence of the sing
ers in the choir at the Congregational
church the Easter music had to be
given up for that day, but will be pre-
sented next Sunday. Pastor Bowdish
preached a sermon in the morning
that touched on the strong feature of
the day.

PRAIRIE FIRE SUNDAY
Fire Started by Train Sunday Caused
Much Work to Put it Out-Lit-
tie Damage Was Done.

A Milwaukee train started a prair-
lrle fire Sunday about the noon hour,
when it was passing the farm of Mr..
Timm, 9 miles west of town. A large
force of men went out from Mt. YER
o and took along everything i'm
aginable to fight a fire. After much
hard and prolonged work the fire
was eNtinguished before very much
damage was done.
While the fire started on the Timm
farm, it jumped across 10 rods of
plowed ground and made straight for
the farm residence of Oscar Michels.
Fearing that the fire would reach the
house Mr.. Michels and some of the
helpers carried their goods into a
plowed field. What made the fire SO
difficult to extinguish was that a
large quantity of manure was on the
ploWed ground and it seemed to re-
sist the hardest kind of effort te put
1t out.

TEMPLAR SERVICE
It. Bernard Commandery Held Their
Easter Services in the Methodist
Church..

Church.
The high wind of the afternoon of
Easter Sunday was not conducive to
bring out a very large audience at the
Methodist church, where the knights
Templar of st. Bernard Commandery
held their annual Easter devotions.
The Sir knights met in their as--
lum at 2 o'clock and were escort
ed to the church by the Odd Fellows
band, marching around one block to
the church. AS the Sir knights enter
ed the church the choir Of 18 voices
sang Onward Christian Soldiers"
The ritual services was conducted by
Prelate Scallin. to which the Sir
knights responded.
The address of the afternoon was
delivered by Rev. F. B. Barnett. rec
tor of st. Mary's Episcopal church,
who selected his text from Colossians
l:3: If ye then be risen with Christ
seek those things which are above"
In this gospel of Paul the apostle.
the speaker sought to impress upon
his hearers the idea Of bringing into
their private and personal life the
better things of this world. He spoke
definitely Of the evils of mankind
and abjured the Sir knights to cast
out hat which is bad and to cling
to that which is good. He wanted
those principles applied to the civic
life of Mitchell and in this respect he
mentioned some specific things which
the Sir Knights should act with decis-
ion, notably the driving out of GER
tain moral evils, particularly the
saloon and its attendant vices. He
touched with emphasis on the con-
dition of the county Jail, which he be-
lieved to be a disgrace to the ON
munity. and to n or two other mat
tiers of local Importance which he
considered to be of sufficient Inn
portance to the public welfare as to
claim the attention of a body of men
of the intelligence of the Sir knights.
The music Of the afternoon was
rendered by a choir of 10 voices under
the direction of E. w. Hobson, sing
ing the chants, and a special number
appropriate to Easter Sunday.

GOVERNMENT COOK BOOK
Uncle Sans Culinary Volume Urges
People to Eat Meat-Some New
Dishes,

Washington, D. c., March &c.
Are you hungry? And do you think
the cost of living is too high? Then
listen.
Go out to the back yard and run
a nice fat, unsplintered sirloin bone
into the corner near the fence. If it
squeaks, sprinkle a few grains of
salt and cayenne pepper on the ex-
posed spots. Stop all further cries by
covering both ends with a bit of
dough-boil it a little while and
serve on toast. It's great! It's cheap
and also nutritious. Uncle Sam, cul-
mary expert, says so, and he ought
to know.
Uncle Samuel's new cook book is
just out and it gives cards and spades
a couple of right bowers and also a
few straight Pushes to the high pric-
ed chefs of the country and even then
comes out winner.
The title of the new cookbook is
Economical Use of Meat in the
Home" and it is modestly listed as
Farmers Bulletin 391."
1t was prepared by G.. F. Lang
worthy, Phi. D., expert in charge of
nutrition Investigations in the office
of experiment stations, and Miss
Caroline L. Hunt, A. B. also an ex-
pert on nutrition in the office of ex-
pertinent stations.
Uncle Sam puts his official foot
right down on the vegetarian craze
and comes out boldly as an advocate
of the food values of meats.
"For many reasons" says the vol
ume, sit seems fair to conclude with
the majority of the Psychologists that
this widespread habit of eating ami
NAL foods is the result of experience
and that it has it's foundation in bod
lily needs"
"Of course" continues the work,
1T is possible to overeat of these
foods, as it is of butter or olive oil,
for example; SO in meat eating as in
other food habits moderation is de-
sirable."
Since meat is undoubtedly one of
the most expensive articles of dis-.
cost Of meat eating can be lessened
by purchasing meat in wholesale
quantities for home use, by economy

take advantage of varying market
conditions; serving smaller portions
Of meat than usual, or using meat
less frequently; careful attention to
the use of meat, bone, fat and small
portions commonly trimmed off and

over portions of cooked meats. and
the use of less expensive kinds.
The practice of giving all the fam.
lily trade to one butcher and of or
dering meats by telephone are mild
ly rebuked by Uncle Sam.
Meat clubs, are suggested for
the country, in which the members
take turns in providing animals for
the slaughtering, which is done in a
special shed on three Saturdays of
each month. The practice of buying

Easter Day of this year will long
be remembered as one of the most
inspiring and successful days in .ue
history of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. The weather was al
most ideal. the audience filing the
great auditorium both morning and
evening. Many were turned away at
night and it was estimated that prob
ably eighteen hundred people were
present. The music was magnificent
and the decorations superb. The day
began with an overflow class meeting
at 9:45 a. m. led by Mr.. Meyer. The
pastor preached at 1880 a. m. His
message was suggested by the text
"Now is Christ Risen from the Dead"
1t was calculated to inspire hope and
comfort in all hearts. The pastor
spoke of the historic certainty of the
resurrection of Jesus and how that
confidence was reinforced by the in
stinctive feeling in the human race
of its truth. He said that Easter was
becoming more and more the world S
festival. The people were warm in
their expressions of appreciation of
the sermon at the close of the SER
vice. Seven people united with the
church. Among the distinguished Wis
itors In the congregation was the

secretary of the board of foreign
missions. The music of the morning
was under the direction of Prof.
Hobson with Miss Wilde at the or
gan. The Sunday school session d.
rected by Prof. Hardy was large and
helpful with emphasis put upon the
Easter thought. President Kerfoot, at
the invitation of the teacher, Prof.
van Benthuysen, addressed the Bar
AGA class. Mr.. Holdridge led the SEN
ior Epworth League and Mrs. Hoag-
land the intermediate League and
both were especially interesting SER
vices.
Long before s o'clock the church
was packed. The program began
promptly on time. DR.. Hoagland con-
Quoted the opening services. Prof.
Hobson, who had been training a
chorus of thirty voices for months,
presented a program of classic mu-
sic which we doubt ever has ever
been surpassed on a similar occasion
in this city. The violin solo work of
the evening was done by Prof. Full
lenwider. Between the last musical
numbers Mr.. Morris was introduced
and spoke of the new pipe organ
which is to be installed. He said that
after long and careful consideration
the committee had concluded, and
the Official Board had endorsed it,
that the organ that would give salts
faction and meet the demands of the
situation would cost about $1,000.
He spoke of the good such an organ
would do in the church and commun-

Gus interest on the part of the peo-
