Marshall County has again scored a
remarkable victory in the grain con-
test held in connection with the meet
ing of the Minnesota Field Crop
Breeders association at Minneapolis
last week, and A. D. Vansickle, who
has won many first prizes in former
contests, notably the famous oats tro
ply at the Omaha Corn Exposition,
has again demonstrated that Red Riv-
or Valley soil and climate coupled
with good farming, can even in an Off
year. produce grains of a very super
Tor quality.
Mr.. Vansickle carried off not less
than four first prizes, namely: First
prize On Scotch Fife, testing 63'lbs. to
the bushel; First prize on White Oats.
testing 4S lbs. to the bushel; First
prize on Six Row Barley, testing 50
Ia lbs. to the bushel; and First prize
On Two Row Barley, testing 81 IL lbs.

amounts to $4,000.
In addition to these prizes, Anton
Kirtz. who also resides few miles

White Oats, and Ed Rosendahl, whose
farm adjoins the city won third prize
On Blue Stem Wheat, testing 81 ID

All the above prizes were won in
competition with the entire state,

being among the contestants. ~
The best samples of each lot are
to be sent to the National Corn Expo.

A LITTLE STORY OF PROGRESS

The annual meeting of the Swedish
Lutheran church at Alvarado was
called the afternoon of Monday the
ninth Almost all the voters of the
church responded with their attend
ance and their interest. All the re-
ports spoke the encouraging language
of prosperity. The financial state
ment of the treasurer of the church
and the various church societies in
dicated a total business of fourteen
hundred dollars and a real indebted
ness of two hundred dollars The
church property is valued at $4,000
The finance committee told of sub
stantial money donations not only
from church members but also from
philosophical citizens of the COM
munity. A vote of thanks was pass
ed to all whose munifcence has serv-
ed the church during the year. The
interest shown, financial and other
wise, is so much the more to be ap-
preciated as the conditions prevailing
: =
are such as in many other parts have
thwarted church work.
Various improvements are contem-
plated for the near future such as the
installation of heating plant and a
gallery. It was decided to erect an
ornamental fence around the church
property and to put IN large chdgcn
bell. All the proceedings we're char
acterized by spirit of harmony and
an enthusiasm for success. The roll
of officers for 1911 follows: Secre-
''tary, P. Kulle treasurer. A. Nord-
; lund; deacon, P. Nordlund; trustees,

Minnesota handed down decision in

vile in Marshall county, involving
over $4,000. This is very interest.
ing case and is the outgrowth of con.
troversy occasioned by the so-called
strip" one and one-half miles ii
width, along the southern boundary
of Marshall county. When Polk coun-
ty was organized, in 1866, the north
erly boundary line was designated as
extending due easterly from the mid
die Of the main channel of Red River
of the North at point opposite TO the
mouth of Turtle River. Now it hap
pens that the mouth of said river is
one and one-half miles south Of the
congressional township line between
townships 154 and 1855. A strip Of
land, therefore, one and one-half
miles in width extending along the
northern line of township 1874, was
never included in Polk county. When
in 1878 the county board of Polk
county organized the town of Farley,
they included the whole congressional
township in said town. By an act OF
the legislature, (Chap. SO, Gen. Laws
1879 Jan. IS, 1888, and the special
election held under it on the second
Monday in July 1883, the strip be-
came attached to Marshall county,
and was by the governor declared to
be a part of Marshall county. After
the passage of the act of Jan. rs, 1883
but before the special election attach.
ing the strip to Marshall county was
held, the town of Farley ION June 20,
1889 issued its bonds for the pur.
chase of a road grader vslued at
$1,000 and an additional sum for grad
Ing the roads*in the town. The town
of Farley brought the suit to enforce
the payment .of what It regarded as
Boxville's proportionate share Of the
bonded Indebtedness. The supreme
court holds as follows:
| Syllabus: First The board of coun-
" commissioners have no authority,
in the absence of legislative grant OF
power, to extend the boundaries, OF a
town organized by it beyond the
boundary line of the county.
Second-Power to so extend the
boundary is not granted by Sec. 3,
Art. 20 of the state constitutions, nor
by Sec. 914, G. S. 1894.
Third When a congressional town.

lied by the board of commissioners of
one of the counties in which the town
ship is in part situated, the territory
beyond the county line does not be.
come a part of the town: as to that
territory the organization is unauthor-
lied and of no effect.
Fourth Chapter 273, Laws of 1907
and Chapter 1872, Laws 1909, providing
for the proportionate payment of the
bonded Indebtedness of towns which
after the issuance of the bonds, have
been divided and organized into sep.

the facts stated in the opinion.

EX-GOV. VARDAMAN
 GETS INJUNCTION Once More Blocks States Game Charged With
 Misuse of Funds

Jackson, Miss, December 13.-(Spe- cial) )-Ex- Governor Nardaman has once more blocked the states game by se- curing an injunction against the talk ing of depositions before Special Com missioner Frank M. Peyton in the case wherein he Is charged with the misuse and misrepresentation of state funds during his four years terms as gover- nor. The injunction was prepared by Watkins & Watkins, attorneys for Gov ernor Vardaman, and was granted by Chancellor G. G. Lyell before noon to- day
 Motion to dissolve the injunction may be made at the end of five days, but that would only prepare the way for an appeal and will hardly be attempt ed by the state.
 The injunction no doubt will carry the case over until chancery court meets in January and in the event the new administration shall have come into power and authority to pros acute rests with Attorney General Col lins no very strenuous efforts will be made by the state to prevent mak- ing the injunction perpetual, though Judge Brame, one of the ablest and

But just as we are entitled if we live prudent lives, to en- joy health until we are stricken by ac- cidental and unpreventable disease. so we have right to expect that our business life will go on without periodic, vio- lent disturbances. And when the delicate, intricate organism of the body is com passed with the simpler organism of busi- ness there is every reason for us not only to consider this expectation reason- able. but to insist upon its realization.

Certainly. however, his opinion IS not III aocorc, with the conclusion of another dls- tinguished citizen of this country, MT. Roosevelt. who is disposed' to regard the conclusion of the tobacco litigation as q close approach to judicial farce. Though bet ween two such eminent doctors we may not perhaps, decide, we are certainly justified in concluding that one or these opinions must have been dictated hur- riedly between two stations. We have had in this country too much or happy go lucky hurried between stations con chsicns as to our policy toward vested interests in this country. Is it too much to insist that the only safe plan is Tor us to make up our judgments when the hurry and hustle of our journeys are over. and that we substitute for the rule of thumb proceeding some approach to scientific, business like methods.
 "We have much to be content With Tn the situation as it now is. The great victory secured by the decisions of the supreme court is that deliberate, wiful wrongdoing in the creation of monopoly or the. adoption of mononoplistic prac- tices toward rivals and the public can he reached by the rough hand of the law. That much we know, and it Is very en- liehtening and comforting knowledge.

With those not thus disposed to be law abiding we can have no sympathy or no concern for the protection and guild ance of.

We hear it asserted often enough that, with all our IDS and downs of business, perhaps we have as much average prosperity as any other nation. Yet this is scarcely the comparison to satisfy us. Prosperity ought not to be matter of violent ups and downs The notion that business is necessarily subject to abnormal fluctua- tions and changes is no more correct than that we should continue to be afflicted, as we were some years ago, with kind of national disease known as chills and fever We sought for long time to treat this disease with the temporary

To do it, however in the fullest measure and in the shortest time. we must forget that we are democrats or re- publicans, and remember only that, for thls purpose, we are American citizens, whose first duty in such an emergency as confronts us now in our industrial outlook Is to consult the permanent, en- during best interests of the public welfare.
