THE MAN AND THE FARM

Farming is, fortunately for the
world. one of those occupations the
satisfactions of which do not depend
on the amount Of money to be made in
a yeas There is, first, the satisfac-
!tion which comes from the ownership
Of tract of land. It is the most sta
Bile Of investments, and safeguard
against numberless anxieties. If, to
the skill of the agriculturist, the far
mer adds the taste of an artist, he
may find a joy in SO directing the
beauty as to make of his farmstead
and fields series of pictures more al
Turing than can be found in any gal
lery. Not a few men have found in
this indulgence of the art instinct an
enjoyment which the millionaire might
covet. Broad fields are better nur-
series for high thought than contract
ed city Offices. Nature-study uplifts
the man as can no other study save
that of Divinity. Opportunities for
scientific investigation offer them
selves in every soil plant, insect, and
type of animal life to be found on the
land. The application of the results
of such investigation to the practical
work of the farm = yoking Science
with Labor-dignifes the work while
multiplying it's rewards. The farmer
it is, of all men, who can best afford
to put aside all thought of mere mon
ey-getting, and devote himself to large
living. The money-getting instinct is,
as rule, belittling, and this belittle.
ment the farmer can, the easiest of all
escape. The size of the farm does
not limit the growth of the man. The
man who, on eighty acres. gives him.
self to high thought and purposes, and
large living, will easily outrank, in in
tellectual power and social influence,
the mere money-seeker on a farm
many times larger. It isn't the size
of the farm, but the quality of the far
mer's manhood, which determines his
place in the community.

DITCH FIGHT
NOT over YET
Supreme Court Issues Writ of certi.
orari in Case of Judicial Ditch
No. 25

Yesterday Attorney w. E. Rowe re-
turned from ST. Paul and continued
to Warren, where he served a writ of
certiorari upon Judge Grindeland. The
writ was issued by the supreme court
of the state and orders the judges of
the 14th judicial district to certify all
the proceedings thus far taken in Ju.
dicial ditch No. Is to the supreme
court where the entire proceeding will
be reviewed.
The ditch was established by Judge
Grindeland and is about fifty miles
long, beginning in Pennington county
and running west to the Red river,
mostly in Polk county, but about six
miles in Marshall county.
Hundreds of farmers protested
against the construction of the ditch
in northern and western Polk, includ-
ing many staunch friends of drainage,
believing it will ruin their land by
keeping overflow water thereon.
There is no provision for appeal
where a judicial ditch is ordered, and
the only means of securing the same
end is writ of certiorari, which is
rather unusual and the result in effect
is practically the same, as the matter
comes before the supreme court in
that manner instead of the usual ap-
peal route-Crookston Times.

New Game laws Make Some Import
ant Changes of Interest to Sports
men.

The last legislature passed a num-
ber of game laws that will be of spe.
cial interest to sportsmen, the most
important of which is the new law re-
lating to the taking Of large game.
One change of Importance provides a
license to kill big game cannot be is
sued until within three days of the
opening Of the season. This law is
aimed at the "sooners" who go into
the woods every year a week or ten
days before the season opens. The
second provision of Importance limits
the number of deer to one for each
hunter; the old law allowed the hunt
er to kill two if he could find them.
The new law gives the hunter per-
mission to train his dogs in the field
between the 18th day of August and
the 1st day of September but prohibits
the carrying of any frearm while
training said dog. The law reads
as follows: From the fifteenth day of
August to the first day Of September
each year it shall be unlawful to run
or train pointer or setter dogs in the
said fields or upon the said lands in
case any shot gun, rifle or firearm is
in the possession of, or available for
use by the owner or person in pos.
session, custody Or control Of said
pointer or setter or in possession or
available for the use of anybody &C.

Four Counties Vote to Employ Visit.
ing Nurses for tuberculosis

One of the few bright spots in the
dark record of the late legislature
was the passage of the law a,1thoriz-
ing county boards of commissioners
to employ or contribute toward the
support of a visiting nurse to give in
struction in the home of the consump-
tive so as to avoid the spread Of the
disease to other members of the fam
lily and to limited extent take the
place of hospital treatment.
This law, Chapter 11e, Laws. of
|1911, was introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. Sundberg and in the House by
Mr.. Mattson at the instance of DR.. G..
S. Wattam of Warren a member of
the State sanatorium Advisory Com
mission. While visiting nursing is
by no means as effective a measure
to combat the white plague as provi-
sion of hospitals and sanatoria, the
bill which the. legislature turned
down, yet it is a good half way meas
ure and the law providing for it will
do great deal of good. Four coun-
ties have already taken advantage of
this law and appropriated enough
money to start the work. The coun-
ties are Marshall, Stevens, Todd and
Kandiyohi.
If the work proves successful as
surances have been given that enough
money to put the work on perma-
nent basis will be forthcoming.
Those who are familiar with the
surroundings of consumptives in the
country will appreciate the need Of
extending visiting nursing to the
/, country. In Dunn county, Wiscon-
sin, a canvass showed only Al per
cent of consumptives having separ-
ate room and Is per cent sleeping
three in room. The use OF a COM
mon dipper in such families is prob
ably the rule and sterilization of
dishes and body linen unheard Of in
most of them. Splitting into contain
ers open to flies is another common
practice. The delicate brother or
baby sister Of the consumptive con-
stantly exposed to infection in these
ways can hardly hope to escape the
disease. Carlessness is not by any
means confined to the poorer families
Nine out Of ten consumptive homes
need rearrangement under expert su-
pervision and it is very gratifying
that rural as well as urban communi-
ties are beginning to take this view
Of the situation.

A COAL TRAIN WRECKED

A wreck on the 500 line three miles
east of Adams on Friday, tied up traf-
tic for over twenty-four hours. A coal

SILVER WEDDING.
Surprise Mr.. and Mrs. John
Dagoberg and Present Them with
Fine Silver Service-Were Married
by Rev. S. Udden 25 Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Dagoberg, of Oak Park town
ship, pledged their troth at the mar.
riage altar and on Sunday afternoon
last, large number of their friends,
assembled at their beautiful home to
help them celebrate their silver we'd
ding. AS the worthy and honored
couple sat on their spacious porch
looking out over the broad golden
fields of ripening grain, they were.
greatly surprised to see a long row
of autoes turn into their yard and
when the occupants moment later
alighted and proved to be their old
friends whom they had known and
associated with for quarter of
century, they began to realize what
was the significance of the visit A
little later a member of the party,
who acted as spokesman, explained
that the friends whom they saw had
come to remind them of their mar
riage twenty-five years ago. They
were also warmly congratulated in a
neat little speech by Rev. Wahlund.
In memory of the occasion and as
token of esteem in which they are
held by their friends, they were pre-
Refreshments were served by the la.
dies of the party and the whole after
noon spent pleasantly in friendly con-
versation and the recalling of many
"reminiscences from the early days.
Among the friends present were many
from Warren, who came in five auto
mobiles.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dagoberg are pi-
oneer settlers of Oak Park, and since
they established their home there,
they have prospered and been blessed
to a very marked degree. Their farm
of about a section, is one of the best
in the township. Not only have they
been blessed in material things, but
they have also brought up a family of
dutiful, well-behaved and intelligent
children, whom it has been their pri-
vilege to train and educate Their
eldest daughter Ellen, has received. a
business education and was for a
number of years cashier with the Peo-
pies Trading Co. Their secDnd daugh-
ter, Lydia, is a graduate Of the War
ren high school and the Moorhead
Normal. Their third daughter, Ruth.
and son, Leonard, are students in the
Warren high school.
When Mr.. Dagoberg came to the
county he possessed very little of this
worlds goods, but by industry and in
telligent management on The part of
himself and his good wife, they have
succeeded in developing a splendid
farm. They are both very genial and
kindly disposed people. Their home
is always the center of hospitality and
there they love to meet and entertain
their friends. When one sees such
a home, where mutual love and
Friendship reigns and the fear of God
abounds, one has no sympathy with
those who say marriage lis failure
It is such happy homes that are the
mainstay of the nation and symbol
|of the heavenly home beyond the
skies. The friends who helped Mr..
and Mrs. Dagoberg celebrate their sill
yer wedding, upon departing, wished
them Gods blessing in the future, and
hoped they may be privileged to be
with them to celebrate their golden
wedding.
