Bright Young Woman Passes Away

A heavy gloom was cast over the
happy home of John Abrahamson, in
town OF Vega, on Sunday July %, 1911,
when the angel of death entered and
removed therefrom their beloved
daughter, Esther Matilda, aged 18
years, 2 months and Is days, after a
lingering illness from consumption.
Deceased was a talented young wo-
man, of a kind and gentle disposition,
the sunshine of the home that has
been saddened more than words can
tell by her demise and where her
cheerful voice will be heard no more.
just as she was about to blossom out
in the full glory of beautiful woman
hood, she was called away to that bet
ter land where no sickness or plague
or death can blight her life. While
her passing away leaves an aching
void in the hearts of those to whom
she was near and dear, yet there is
consolation in the fact that she whom
they, now mourn has entered fuller
and more complete life on the heaven.

LOTS OF GAME IN SEPTEMBER
Executive Agent Il. A. Rider Gets
Reports from Around the
State

Game of all sorts will be plentiful
in Minnesota when the season opens
next September, according to reports
received from various parts Of the
state by H. A. Rider, executive agent
OF the game and fish commission.
The weather has been good enough
to permit prairie chickens to hatch
and raise broods, and at the same
time there has been enough water in
the lakes and sloughs, at least in the
northern portion of the state, to make
ducks plentiful.
Big game, especially deer, also will
be plentiful.

Economics of Harvest

It is possible for careless help to
leave considerable portion of the
grain crop in the field by neglecting
to gather up scatterings, loose bundles
ETC., and by hauling grain on open-bot-
tom racks. From few pounds to q
few bushels of grain may be saved
every day, during stacking, by using
a tight bottom rack, or a canvas over
the rack that will catch all of the
grain that is scattered out of the
heads. In seasons when the grain
skaters badly, a surprisingly large
amount of grain can be saved in this
way.-A. d. Wilson, MINI. University

WARREN BAND TO PENNINGTON
FAIR

The Warren band will furnish music
at the Pennington County fair which
is to be held at Thief River Falls next
week. That the Pennington County
people will get some good music
goes without saying as the band will
also play at the state fair this year
and have been practicing almost every
evening.
A good band is always a good ad
vertisement for the town and the ad
vertising Warren and Marshall county

Warren team was short some Of the
regular players, but even with a weak
ened lineup was only defeated by a
score of G to 5. 1t was a close game

DREAMLAND
HAS A FIRE
Moving Picture Theatre Put Out Of
6usiness-Bad Fire was Narrowly
Averted

A few minutes after the Dreamland
moving picture theatre had opened on
Tuesday evening, the film which was
being run thru the machine caught
ire and in an instant flames burst out
and spread all around In the excite
ment that followed, efforts were made
to remove the briskly burning film,
with the result that the fire became
still more scattered There were quite
few people in the theatre, among
them many children, and as soon as
the fire was observed there followed a
stampede to get out. Fortunately
they all got out before the flames
blocked the front entrances. A few
got out thru the door in the rear. Had
the theatre been filed with people as
often has been the case, an appalling
catastrophy would have resulted. Ha-
eel Seign, who operated the machine
when the film caught fire also forum
ately escaped unhurt.
| BY the QUICK action OF the Warren
fire department, the flames, which al
ready had broken out in front, were
quenched, but not before great dam.
age had been done to the furniture
The fire had. also communicated to the
store room of NJ L. Larson in the
same building and to Mr.. Larson's iv
ing rooms on the second floor. Some
damage was done by water to the
goods in the grocery department in
Mr.. Larson's store. Had not the fire
department responded so quickly the
entire building would have been doom
ed.
Dreamland was owned by Claude NJ
Hanson and G. H. Ferguson. Thei1
loss is estimated at $1,000.

SILOS AND SlLAGE

When timothy hay is worth ST per
ton for feeding, good corn ensilage is
worth about So Per ton. The present
indications are that hay is going to be
scarce the coming winter, as the crop
seems to be short in nearly all sec
tious of the state. This will mean that
hay will sell for a price considerably
above the average, and will mean that
all kinds of roughage will be worth
correspondingly more. If timothy
hay should be worth S12 per ton on
the farm, good ensilage will be worth
about S5.
The prospects for corn crop were
certainly never better in Minnesota
than at present; and, with good cult
walton and a reasonable amount of
rainfall, an unusually good crop is as
sured. Likewise, the acreage of corn
in the state is considerably more than
ever before. If some satisfactory me-
thod can be provided for saving the
immense amount of feed that will evi-
dently be produced in this corn crop,
there will be no need for reducing the
amount of live stock on our farms,
and it will be practical to increase the
amount on many of the farms. With
these facts in mind, the Minnesota
Experimenting Station has no hesita-
tion in urging every farmer, who can
afford to do SO, to provide himself with
some sort of silo in which the corn
can be stored. The average cost of
raising and storing silage. On Mime
sofa farms, for the past several years,
has been about 1925 per ton. If from
| So to S. worth of feed can be secured,
at a cost of s2.25, it makes a reason
able investment. Under present cir
cumstances-thati is. a very evident
shortage in the supply of other rough
age in the state,-we believe that any
farmer who has twenty or more head
of stock will do we'll even to borrow
money with which to erect good silo
in which to store portion of his corn
crop, which will enable him to keep
all of his stock and probably increase
/ his herd; while, ii he does not provide
silage, he will be likely to keep his
stock rather poorly, and will probably
have to cut down his herd.
| A silo that will hold 100 tons, which
| is a good silo for ali ordinary farm,
can be erected at a cost not far from
$500. Interest on $500 is small con-
sideration when it enables one to
keep we'll all of his live stock, or
when the lack of such structure
means a reduction in the live stock
kept, or at least reduction in income
| from the stock There are many
farms, of course, on which it is not ad-
visable to build silos at present; but
any ordinary farm, On which enough
live stock is kept to maintain its pro-
ductivity, affords condition under
which the proposition to erect a silo
should at least receive careful consid-
eration.-A D. Wilson, Supt. Exten-
sion, Mimi College of Agriculture.

Cheaper Automobiles

The day when the automobile
could be regarded as the vehicle of
the rich and prosperous exclusively
or when, if owned by person of mo-
derate means, and employed otherwise
than in some regular business, it's pos
session was held to indicate spend
thrift habits-is rapidly passing away.
The multiplication of great establish
nents for the manufacture of auto
mobiles has proceeded so rapidly, and
the number of machines turned out by
them annually has become so vast,
that the upper ten in society can no
longer afford a sufficient market for
the product; and manufacturers are
turning their eyes toward the middle
| thousands. There, after all, in sup
plying the needs Of the farmers and
imiddle-class townsmen, they are to
find, hereafter, their largest rewards.
| One greeat multi-millionaire cor
poration already announces for sale
thoroughly capable" guaranteed
car. rubber-tired, and with power
plant that will run $4,000 miles for
$35O-a figure which approximates the
cost of a good "horse and buggy such
as almost every farmer has looked up
on as entirely within his means. It is
practically certain that the rivalry be-
tween manufacturers will lead to the
| immediate offering or even better cars
for the same money, or of similar ones
for lower price. The farmer, then,
finds himself now the heir and bene-
fciary of one of the most beneficial
and revolutionary inventions OF the
age. He is to be the beneficiary of
| all the experimentation which has
been done, at the expense of the rich,
in perfecting and developing the sau-
| to-" The 3sdevil-wagon" as he has
been wont to call the swift machine
which scared his horses and made the
roads so often unsafe for him, is trans
formed by the progress Of manufactur-
ing ingenuity into the vehicle of a
good genius, with which-if he cannot
like Puck, "put girdle around the
earth in forty minutes, he can at
least HE to his market town and get
home again in minutes where it before
took hours. 1t will also enable him
to do an amount of pleasure-traveling
independently OF the railroads, such
as was before practical impossibility.
1t will also, by practically, bringing
the farm closer to the market-and by
giving in many cases choice of mar
kets-tend greatly to increase the val
ue of outlying farms.
It was entirely natural that manu-
facturers should first cater to the class
having the most money to spend, and
that they should bend their energies
to the production of vehicles which
would, from the pockets Of that class,
for the time being, extract the largest
prices. But now that they turn to
''the market of the millions" they will
find it's opportunities incomparably
greater than those afforded by 'sthe
market of the select few."-C R.
