CONTEST HAUGEN WILL.
Heirs in United States and Norway
Contest Will Giving 100000
to United Lutheran
Church.

A petition was filed in the Office oi
the Clerk of the court on Monday, to
set aside the will of the late Aase
G. Haugen, who lived on her farm
south of the city, and who provided
in the will that her estate of $4,000
to 100000 should be given to the
United Lutheran church, her eX-
pressed wish being that the proceeds
be used for the erection and main
tenance of an Old Peoples Home, to
be erected if seen fit by the church
authorities, on her farm.
An effort has been made to pro-
cure the location of this home on
the farm near here, as she desired,
and other localities are also bidding
for it. The matter was left by the
last Synod until the meeting next
year for settlement.
The petition states in substance
that the will was written by Rev. o.
E. Schmidt, who was her pastor, he
being named as one of the executors,
and that the will was made when
she was in such state of mind that
she didn't know what she was doing /;
that the will is void for uncertainty;
that undue influence was used in
getting her to make the will, and for
these reasons and others the heirs
in Norway and Gilbert Haugen and
Gilbert Christopherson in this coun-
try, ask to have the will set aside,
and the property distributed among
the heirs according TO law.
On account of the public bequest
to the church in the will, the case
will attract wide attention. Attor-
neys E. w. Cutting and E. R. Acres
appear for the contestants.

Moving Pictures Abroad.

Consuls report that badly edited
moving picture films in foreign coun-
tries sometimes cause ridicule and
aften are misunderstood. An Ameri-
can film in Malta showed cowboy
and Indian scene of intrigue, decep-
tion and fighting. The Indians were
in the traditional Indian costume
and the cowboys wore their costumes
rather exaggerated for the occasion.
The label of the film stated that this
picture has been taken in the United
States and that the actors wore the
American national costume.
Another similar case is cited of a
scene of a holdup in the 'cow coun-
try in which several men were kill
ed, followed by a chase on horseback,
and a lot of shooting. 1t had as a
subtitle the statement that this was
an event in regular life in America.

Attending Nj. T.. Conference.

ter the adjournment of the confer

pate in the dedication of the magni-
ticent new Methodist church at

The Country Merchant.

1t was vigorously maintained at
the senate committee hearing on
parcels post that on an average mail
order prices are higher than the
prices of local dealers.
If this be the case under the
present system, which discriminates
in favor of t'.e large shipper, what
will prevent the small merchant
from competing even more success
fully when he has the added facili-
ties of parcels post?
There could not be better evidence
of the illogicality and superficiality
of the local merchants opposition,
such as it is, to the parcels post
than this fact respecting relative
prices. 1t is asserted that the mail
order houses list certain articles at
a very low price and by this device
gain the impression of low rates,
whereas the local dealers are making
better prices on all but these special
bargains.
This is a familiar device known
to trade in one form or another since
trade began. And what does it prive?
That the local merchant is not using
gumption, is not enterprising and
alert enough to let his customer
know the facts.
AS a matter of fact there are too
many country storekeepers who ex-
pect trade to come to them, who are
too indolent to realize that in this
age of easy transportation and uni
versal interchange they must meet
a wider range of competition and
have higher standards of service if
they are to have any patronage.
There are thousands of grumbling
country merchants who keep untidy,
dark, and i'll equipped stores, where
the flies roam at will, where the
stock is piled heller skelter, where a
CUSlOlleI Is Uldut W ltcl ludJ Tile
storekeeper or clerk is comforting a
great favor in selling 10 him. In the
days when every farmer and his fam
lily were limited to what the nearest
crossroads or village had to offer
that was possible. But now farmers
travel widely. They go to towns or
cities where they are made welcome.
They see goods displayed attractive
ly. They read instructive advertise
ments. They receive catalogs. Nat
urally they care less and less to
trade with the local merchant unless
that merchant has walked up and
moved forward with the times.
If this type of local merchant
thinks that his loss of trade can be
FASTENED by the parcels post he is
mistaken He is doomed now by
reason of his own methods. And
as for the wideawake merchant, he
should not permit himself to be
stampeded into opposition to an eX-
tension of the postal system which
will benefit him, provided he will
make use of his opportunities

Editors Note-The editor of
this paper has prevailed upon
his father, Rev. II. III. Green,
ID. D., to write an autobiogra-
ply of his life, to be preserved
as a matter of record among
his children and grandchildren.
While it was written with no
intention of being made public,
yet his life has been filled with
such varied experiences, dating
from his birth in England, boy
hood, soldier, clergyman, legis-

which we believe will be read
with interest by the public, and
we will therefore from time to
time as space permits publish
sections of this autobiography,

SALE Of |. & c. n.
NEXT TUESDAY

Austin, Texas, May 11.-Next Tues
day the International & Great North
ern railway is booked to be sold from
the auction block at Palestine. Every
thing seems to be directly in line for
the sale, everybody is happy, and the
reorganization will bring the Interna-
tional & Great Northern back before
the eyes of the railroad commission
in good grace, for all unsecured claims
are to be provided for. The railroad is
also satisfied because the commission
will grant a liberal valuation under
the reorganization that will give the
road something in the ~neighborhood
of $34,000,0 900 in securities.
Receiver Freeman will receive some
handsome compensation from the
court for his services, may remain at
the head of the road he has so sue
cessfully conducted, and the lnterna-
tional & Great Northern will no longer
be subject to the jurisdiction of the
federal courts under which II has OPP
Grated since the appointment of a fed.
eral receiver. 1t will probably take
some time to wind up the sale of
the property and its reorganization,
though conferences have al
ready been held with regard TO this
matter and all preliminary steps have
been taken.

FERTILIZER FOR CABBAGE.

DR.. G. S. Traps, state chemist OF
Texas at A. & VI. college, who is
charged with the administration of the
fertilizer law, says:
"The best fertilizer to use for cab
bage depends considerably upon the
local conditions, including the charac-
ter of the soil. | would suggest the
use of a mixture of 300 pounds cotton
seed meal, 300 pounds acid phosphate
and 80 pounds muriate of sulphate of
potash to the acre. This fertilizer
should be applied before the cabbage
are set out. This would correspond to
a fertilizer containing Z per cent phos-
phoric acid, 3 per cent nitrogen and 4
per cent potash, and should give good
results. 1t pays to fertilize cabbage
literally"
