Passed Away.

I Edward Barrow who has lived in
Canton since 1888 passed away in his
shop in the southeast part Of town
Saturday morning, February IL, with
heart disease. Mr.. Barrow has for
the past two weeks previous to his
death, suffered severly with the
grippe, but hoping to over come the
malady by work he kept up until he
was found dead by boy who had been
assisting him with his work and who
had left him but few moments be-
fore to go to the house for some tools.
Edward Barrow was born at We'd
more, Somersetshire, South Englan !,
where he spent most of his boyhood.
When young man he became a
wholesale chemist In London, Eng
land and remained in that business
until he came to st Paul in the spring
of 1869 where he was employed by
the Hamn Brewing Co., as rectifier
where he remained until 1876 when
he then moved to lower Canton,
which was then in what was called
Dakota territory and has made this
city his home since 1888.
He married Miss Julia Ann Burton,
in London, England, and unto them
were born four children, t W | n
boys who died in England, one daugh-
ter born in St Paul, 1872, and one son.
Fred II. Barrows who lives at 31S E..
Congress st. st. Paul.
The body will rest beside that Of
his daughter in the Oakland cemer-
terry, st. Paul.
Mr. Barrow had many friends in
Canton and in his life in the great
beyond let us hope that he will find
continual peace and happiness. Mrs.
Barrow will make her home in st.
Paul with her son Fred who resides
in that city. The LEADER with host
of friends extends the deepest sympa-
thy for wife and son in their sorrow.

Dead

The death of Mrs. Marit Loe who
died last Thursday evening at 1915
p. M. saw the passing away of one of
Canton's oldest settlers. She was
beloved by all who knew her and as a
wife and mother her presence will be
greatly missed.
The following article was taken
from the Argus LEADER and was
written by A. r. Jameson Of this
citygiving her life history and funeral.
The funeral of Mrs. Marit Loe took
place from the Lutheran church yes
terday afternoon and was largely at
tended. Rev. Tetlie, the pastor, had
charge Of the service. The deceased
was born at Rise, Opdal, Norway,
May IT, 1S47, and came to this country
in 1882 and located at Canton, where
she has resided ever since. Besides a
husband she leaves to mourn her sud-
den death, three children, Mrs. l. M.
Helmey Of Sioux Fails, Mrs. 2. Hell
land of Fedora, and Hans Loe of
Canton, and four brothers, Paul Rise
of Norway, Albert Rise of Sioux city
and Ole Rise of Arlington, Wash.
The body was laid to rest in the
Lutheran cemetery east Of town.

NOW is THE TIME TO PRUNE.
February is the Month in Which
to Do Trimming.

Get out the pruning knife and trim
the vines, trees and shrubs around
the home now, if you intend to do
any such thing this year, for February
is the month for this operation. And
If no such things exist in your lawn,
this is the month to start little
home beautiful campaign all your
own.
| Climbing roses, grapes, currants
and gooseoerries are grown from slips
or cuttings, and any additions to
domestic horticulture of this nature
can be combined with the pruning
operation.
All these species of plant life will
grow as well on 40-foot lot as in a
forty-a acre field. Do grapes appeal to
you? Then ask your neighbor for a
few slips, Cut them about nine inches
long, with at least three buds to each
slip. A nurseryman, explaining the
methods of propagation, said only
last years growth will make good
slips. They should be cut at the
point where branch shoots from the
old wood. There are various ways OF
heeline, or setting them in the ground
One way is to set them so that the
end from which the roots will extend
would be exposed to the sunlight.
This seems a peculiar way to GO about
it, but there is reason. The root
starts more readily in exposure to the
sun. After the root starts the cut
ting is ready to transplant.
Slips from climbing roses, goose
berries and currants should be set
out in the same manner as grapes.
However, the work should be done
this month, and the earlier in the
month the better the results will be.
The reason for this is that as soon as
warm weather sets in the sap begins
to run and then it Is too late for
pruning and for obtaining slips with
out injuring the original plant.
| The climbing rose requires the
most careful pruning of the lawn
growths. Clipping should take away
at least third or probably half OF
last years growth to get the best re-
suits in the new flowers.
Too many branches in the fruit
trees shade the fruit and stunt it..
That is especially true near the center
of the trees. The old wood taken
from the trees should be burned, as
it forms breeding place for destruc-
tive insect Sioux City Journal

Prof. Boot Elected For Another Year.

Prof. Boot Elected For Another Year.
Prof. Boot and most of the present
teachers of our city schools have been
elected to fill the same positions for
the coming year. 1t has been reported
that Mr.. Boot has had raise in
his salary for his work. The school
board has had more than their share
of trouble this year owing to the fact
the parents look more into the matter
as to how teaching should be done
then leaving the teaching in the
hands of men and women hired for
that purpose, and of course every
person has different idea as to how
his boy or his girl should be taught.
Next year the Canton schools will
have a man who will teach atheletics
as branch to his teaching math-
amatics and it is hoped by all who
have a real interest in our city schools
that this will do away with the petty
feelings of the boys and girls who
have not school on their mind, but a
fancied injustice done them by their
teachers.
Atheletics are something that Can
ton schools have long needed. 1t de,
velops that school esprit" that has
long made the Yale finish" by
word, it develops the mind. the body,
and gives boy or girl the spirit OF
fellowship that cannot be attained
by brooding over fancied wrongs
when the young mind has nothing to
think Of Give boy or girl team
in any brach of atheletics, what will
they not do to make it good, study
they will because it is a RECRUITMENT
of atheletic in schools, that all who
participate must stand class A in
their studies. Give the school board
a chance and their foresight and
common sense will be commended
upon in the future if not by a few
people who see fancied wrong.
Mr.. Boot has life Certificate issued
him only last week which entities
him to teach in this state the rest of
his life and as there have been only
1853 issued previous to this one, in the
history of South Dakota, and Canton
may be considered lucky to have such
a man at the head of our schools.

Reciprocity and What it Means.

Not since the Civil War has a
question of more tremendous import
presented itself to the American
people for settlement than is now
presented by the proposed reciprocity
agreement with Canada. In it's larg-
est and simplest aspect, the question
simply is, Shall we have free trade
with Canada? The agreement negoti-
ated by Secretary Knox and Minister
Fielding will, if ratified, be the first
great step toward absolute freedom
Of trade between these two countries,
whose borders march together for
three thousand miles, whose two peo-
Piles are one in blood, in institutions
in aspirations, in everything but the
accident of political boundaries.
Evidently, then, Canadian recipro-
city is large question, one requiring
to be treated with large view, with
careful consideration and in the most
stateSmanlike manner. 1t Is not a
question to be decided by the petty
interests of The individual, or even
the considerable interests of section.
The prosperity of the Republic, its
whole future for years to come, is
bound up in the decision.
We stand at the parting Of the
ways. One path leads to practical If
not political union with Canada, and
the development of the entire North
American Continent as the heritage
and the possession of a great and free
people. The other path leads to the
hardening into two distinct political
entities, two hostile or at least un
sympathetic peoples on this continent.
1t leads to a closer relation between
the carrying out OF Joseph Cham ber-
lain'S great dream Of British imper
ial federation, bound together no less
| by trade than by sentiment, with
preferential tariffs on either. side,
with Canada taking the place of the
| United States as chief purveyor Of
| food products and manufactured
articles to Great Britain.
| Today England is our best customer
and Canada is our third best Gus
toner. But our foreign trade wanes,
and that of Canada grows. If we push
Canada into Englands arms, the
trade arrangements between the two
| will tend more and more to shut us
out.
| How long will our trade with these
two customers last, if reciprocity
fails? Our Canadian trade must drop
off, as the east and channels of her
commerce are scored by use. And
Canada will more and more supply
English needs in our stead.
The Journal is aware that objection
is made to reciprocity by those who
fear they will suffer by the farmers
of the Northwest, and of New Eng
land. 1t does not believe that they
will suffer, but rather that in the
general prosperity which will ensue
they will emerge the gamers. These
are questions to be taken up in due
course. Just now what impresses
the Journal is that a broad view, a
patriotic view, a statesmanlike view
is necessary MINNIE APOLIs JOURNAL

Another Dead Coon.

Last Thursday evening about 1870
Christ Westby and O. E. Siglar were
on an investigation tour through the
old Hubbard house in search OF a
place suitible for Mr.. Siglar to do
some fancy paper hanging, AS they
made their way up stairs, Mr.. Westpy
being first, he spied what he thought
an old bundle of rags in one corner OF
the room, at the head of the stairs.
He walked towards the supposed
bundle of rags and behold it moved,
Christ not having drink of that
are pop" that day, halted 1mmediat-
ly to consider the situation and find
out if his eyes deceived him. The
said bundle again raised its head and
Christ made for the door. After a
whispered consultation with Mr.. Sig
lar, Christ went for gun and stole
I'D stairs to shoot the bold marauder
Taking careful aim from behind the
door, he closed his eyes and shot, then
taking a peek from behind his'breast
works, he discovered that be had not
killed it, and again taking careful aim
he this time made sure of the kill.
After the animal was dead he walked
over to the remains and discovered
that he had killed coon. The animal
was perfect speciman of it's kind
and weighed 26 lbs. Christ sold it to
Mr.. Siglar on the spot and left the
house with smile and step of a
mighty successful hunter.
