RECEPTION TO REV
e. o. CHELGREN

Rev. E. O. Chelgren, of the Swedish
Lutheran church, and his family, were
given pleasant farewell surprise and
reception at the parsonage, on Mon
day evening by about hundred of
their parishioners and other friends
When all had assembled, Rev. Wah-
lund arose and in well chosen words
explained the significance Of the in
trusion, stating that the friends had
come for the purpose of spending an
evening with them and bidding them
goodbye and God speed before their
near approaching removal to their
new field of labor. As slight evi-
dence of esteem and appreciation of
the pastors work in this community
he handed him an envelope containing
sum of money. Rev. Chelgren re
piled feelingly, thanking the members
of the congregation and other friends
for the pleasant visit and assured
them that he had enjoyed his work
here and would always remember
Warren and his Warren friends with
pleasure. Short appreciative remarks
were also made by Profs. Abraham
son, Siostrand and Bergquist, of North
Star College, and by Dr. Colberg, of
Alvarado. A number OF vocal and
instrumental musical selections were
rendered during the evening. Dainty
refreshments we're served by the Ia
dies.
Rev. Chelgren has been the pastor
of the Swedish Lutheran church in
this city during the past four years
and a half, and has proved himself
to be very faithful, able and sue
cessful worker in the Lords vineyard.
It is largely due to his efforts that
North Star College has been estab-
lished here and made the success that
it has. He has been the President OF
the College Association and of the
Board of Directors since the start
and has also assisted in the work of
instruction. His interest and expert
ence as a school man has been OF
great value to the young institution.
The removal of Rev Chelgren is
therefor a loss not only to the congre-
cation he has served, but to the col
s.sgea .sse,az. Las .selred to bni1d up, as
we'll as to our entire city. Rev. Chel
gren and family will leave Warren
Nov. 80 for their new field of labor,
near Dassel, Mimi The best wishes
of their many Warren friends will fol.
low them.

iect to postage. This means if you
ask the carrier to get you spool of
thread and bring it on his next trip,
you must send money for postage on
it, at the rate of one cent an ounce.
However, should you ask him to bring
a suit case. or any article weighing
more than four pounds or not coming
under any of the postal rates, there
Will be no charge except such as the
carrier may ask for doing the favor.
Carriers must not Cor anyone else,
under penalty place circulars, bills
or other matter in mail boxes unless
prepaid at a proper rate. The gov
ernment means business on this pro-
position and will punish those who are
caught violating this regulation. More
over, any matter that is placed in a
rural mail box must bear the name of
the person who is to receive it. I'm
addressed matter, though properly
stamped, cannot be placed in mail
boxes by rural carriers.
Do not delay your mail man IN any
way, unless with a hot cup of coffee
or something. He has a certain sched-
nle to make, and as patrons expect
him at certain time it is injurious to
the service needlessly to be delayed.
An exchange of greetings or pleas
ant word is very proper, but to de-
tain him with gossip or lengthy con
versation should be avoided Do not
ask the carrier to wait while you ad-
dress "a letter or make out an applica-
tion for a money order. Instead keep
a supply of stamped envelopes always
on hand and get some money order
applications so that you may have
your applications filled out when the
carrier arrives. A supply of envelopes
will necessitate very small invest
ment and the blank applications are
furnished gratis. Buy your stamp sup
plies direct from the carrier, instead
of at the postoffice in order that the
carrier may get credit for the sales.
The government keeps accurate rec
cord of each carriers sales and routes
that show small sales are in danger
of being discontinued

Last week North Star College had
the pleasure of receiving visit from
Mr.. Chas. Boostrom, assistant public
examiner, and for many years presi-
dent of the Southern Minnesota State
Normal school, located at Austin. Mr.
Boostrom addressed the students and
teachers at the chapel exercises. He
impressed upon us the Importance of
securing an education based on true
Christian principles. He stated that
he would rather obtain an education
at North Star College than at many
of the state institutions, because of
the great personal influence that can
here be exerted Such addresses of
inspiration we always appreciate.
Perry Wood, 'O9, for several years
employed as a stenographer by the
Marshall County Land Co., has accept
ed a position in similar capacity
with the Engler Lumber Co., of Bau-
dette. Perry has performed his work
faithfully and well, and we know that
he will succeed in his new place. We
do not like to see such good men
leave Warren; but we know that they
are needed elsewhere also.

THANKSGIVING DAY
President Taft Proclaims Thursday,
Nov. 80.

The people of this land having, by
long sanction and practice, set apart
toward the close of each passing
year day on which to cease from
their labors and assemble for the pur-
pose of giving praise to Him who is
the author of those blessings they
have enjoyed, it is my duty, as Chief
Executive, to designate at this time
the day for the fulfllment of this de-
vout purpose.
Our country has been signally IA
vored in many ways. The round of
the seasons has brought rich harvests.
Our industries have thriven far be-
yond our domestic needs; the produc-
tions of our labor are daily finding en-
larged markets abroad. We have
been free from curses of pestilence,
of famine, of war. Our National
councils have furthered the cause of
peace in other lands, and the spirit
Of benevolence has brought us into
closer touch with other peoples, to
the Strengthening of the bonds of fel-
lowship and good will that link us to
our comrades in the universal broth
erhood of Nations. Strong in the
sense of our own right, and inspired
by as strong a sense of the rights of
others, we live in peace and harmony
with the world. Rich in the priceless
possession and abundant resources
wherewith the unstinted bounty of
God has endowed us, we are unselish-
ly glad when our people pass onward
to prosperity and peace That the
great privileges We enjoy may contin-
he, and that each coming year may
see our country more firmly establish
ed in the regard and esteem of our
fellow-nations, is the prayer that
should arise in every thankful heart.
Wherefore, l, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States
of America, designate Thursday, the
Goth Of November next as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer, and / ear
nestly call upon my countrymen and
upon all that dwell under the flag of
our beloved country then to meet in
their accustomed places of worship
to Join in Offering praise to Almighty
God and give devout thanks for the
loving mercies He has given to us.
In witness whereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Chicago, this
sOth day of October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and eleven, and of the independence
of the United States of America the
one hundred and thirty-sixth.
By the President.

Secretary of State
