Minnesota Wins Potato and Barley
Prizes
A. B. Hostetter, of Duluth, won the
second ribbon for the best potatoes

thought that he should have been
awarded first prize, but there was
"glory enough for all" and his win
ming the second prize in world
wide competition shows what the fer
tile soil of Northern Minnesota can
produce. Minnesota also won a Sec
ond prize for the best bushel of barley

In competition with the most re-
nowned agricultural sections on the
American continent, the States Of
Minnesota, Montana and Washington
have triumphed at the New York
Land Show held at Madison Square
Garden. November 3 to ~.
James Todd Wins Hill Prize
James Todd Of Geyser. Montana,
won the J. J. Hill $1,000 silver cup
for the best 100 pounds of winter
wheat grown in the United States
this year. Against competition from
almost every state in the Union the
fertile Judith Basin of Montana came
out on top. The prize grain was Of
a yield of seventy-flve bushels to the
acre and weighed sixty-five pounds
to the bushel.
Mr.. Einsenger of Manhattan, Mon
tana. won the Pabst cup for the
finest exhibit of barley. This contest
was open to the world. Mr.. Elm
senger's exhibit was from a field

The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1911-12-07

Messrs. Van Cleve and Sudduth Of
Broadview, Montana. on the line of
the Great Northern Railway in yell
lowstone County, won the silver cup
for the finest exhibit of alfalfa.
On oats the silver cups went to
Messrs. Patten and Hartman of Boze-
man. The oats of their exhibit was
of yield of 1874 bushels to the acre.
weighing forty-five pounds to the
bushel.
Four years ago almost any farmer
in the east would have scoffed at the
idea that Montana could produce
prize winning crops of any kind Of
grain. The exhibits at the New York
Land Show have brought more honor
to Montana than any other one incl
dent in the history of the state.
Montanans have a right to be proud
of their home state, and the next
few years will witness a tremendous
immigration to that state as result
of the publicity given it through the
New York Land Show.

Dewitt Home Burned.

Tuesday morning about TOO
o'clock the Clinton Dewitt home
was consumed by fire. The en-
tire contents of the building were
burned, the fire spreading SO
rapidly that nothing could be

Captain Dewitt had just left
his home, in order to attend a
meeting of the supervisors of his
township at Lennon. Barely
more than a mile away from
home, he was met by a neighbor
who told him that his house was
afre, and, turning around, he
was painfully aware of the fact.
With the nelghbor he hurried

Maud Bergerer. frantic under
the ordeal, and the building a
mass of flames. 1t was too late
to save any Of the contents of
the building, which were valu-

family's clothing. and a quantity
of feed and seed.

The CruCiiixion

torio The Crucifixion" yesterday
evening was splendid musical
and artistic success. The city
has reason to be proud of the or
ganiZation which under the hand
leap of small number could dare
to give so difficult and trying a
work as this, and we read from
the success scored last night,
that the spirit that governs Lem
mons musical organization will
in the fruitful of continued sue
cesses of high order and mould
ing and elevating force. The
writer, being partly responsible
for the work done, feels reluctant
| to personally voice the praise the
venture deserves, and as fort
unately one capable of just cri-
ticism submits a review on the
subject, we are only too glad to
publish it:
! KEEP UP The COOP WORK
Have had an opportunity in
the recent past to hear Stainer's
Crucifxion given by some Of the
best talent that a progressive mu-
sical center.could produce, take
pleasure in congratulating Lem
mon generally. and Mr.. Hamilton
especially. upon it's more than
creditable rendition last evening.
The ensemble of the chorus work
WIS most excellent many of the
voices giving evidence of finish
ed technique rarely found in
small western towns. The solo
work was without exception good
and some numbers were exquisite
ly rendered, the King Ever
Glorious and the And as Moses
Lifted up the Serpent in the
Wilderness" being especially
pleasing. The duet so Thou
liftest thy divine Petition was
sung with appealing tenderness
and beauty.
The audience gave evidence of
their appreciation and enthusiasm
in the silent demonstration of the
Chautauque method, breaking
away once only, when the duet
The Crimson Glow of Sunset ,
Fades" (secular) sung by two
ladies, lifted them out of their
almost devotional silence.
The influnce of an organization
of this kind in community is
far reaching and helpful, the
material for a permanent or
ganization of this kind in Lem
mon was a surprise to the writ
err, as in artistic merit it proved
far above the average. Let us
hope that the citizens will make
every effort to sustain their local
talent in this undertaking to
make permanent and carry to a
successful issne this evidence Of
a desire for the best in and for
their people.
The writer is free to confess
that in the distorted language of
a familiar biblical quotation He
came to cough, but he stayed to
spray. he wishes to express his
enthusiasm accordingly.

DESIGNS CHAPEL WINDOWS
ct. Peters to be Further Besutified
by Pictures in Glass.

The English manufacturers of the
stained glass windows in st. Peters
church are now at work on designs
for windows for the chapel. The idea
that the glass in the chapel is to
carry out is the story of Christ's child
hood.
The central part of the first window
will contain the figure of the Virgin
thanked on either side by the subjects
of the Annunciation and the Saluta-
ton.
The central panel of the second
window will contain the figure of the
Virgin and the Holy Child thanked on
either side by the Alteration of the
Shepherds and the Wise, Men.
The central panel of the third win
dow will contain the figure of St.
Simeon with the Holy Child in his
arms, flanked on either side by the
subjects of Christ with the doctors
in the temple and the home life at
Nazareth. The traceries of all three
windows are to contain figures of
women of the old testament.

A New Williamson Book.

''The Golden Silence," by c. n. and
A. NJ Williamson. is story along
different lines from those usually
pursued by these popular authors. but
must certainly be the means of en-
hancing their popularity. The book
is an adventurous tale of an Ameri-
can dancers quest for her lost sis
ter and takes the reader into the
desert with its silence and mystery.
The action is dramatic and the de-
scriptive parts are graphic, showing
rare knowledge of the spirit of
Eastern life as manifested by its
desert folk. The work is illustrated
in color by George Benin. Pub
llshed by Doubleday, Page & Co.,
and is on sale at Runyon's.

ILL IN BURNING HOUSE
Bart Loean's Home on Western Az
enue Burned.

While lying i'll in her home on
Western avenue Monday afternoon.
the house, belonging to Bart Logan,
took fire and Miss Mildred A. Logan
had to be carried to the barn and
from there conveyed to Memorial hos
pital. The young lady is suffering
from scarlet fever and was being
nursed by her mother In some un-
explained way the parlor stove tipped
over. The hot Goals were thrown out
upon the floor and the room was
quickly ablaze.
Mrs. Phoenix Miller, a neighbor,
noticed the fire and after telephon-
ing to Clifford Logan, employed in a
local printing office, ran to the Logan
home and notified Mrs. Logan. Miss
Logan, who is a teacher of dancing,
was bundled up and carried to the
barn. The automobile chemical en-
gine manned by several firemen went
to the fire but could do nothing as
the house was a furnace on their ar
rival. The Logan place is a half
mile beyond the town limits. The
house was destroyed together with
its contents.
