Osakis because the town had voted
back saloons.
Resolutions were adopted to the
effect that if Osakis wanted the saloons
more than the farmers trade and

we're willing to let ,Osakis have the
choice. The city of Long Prairie was
also severely criticised for voting for
saloons. ~.

gressive farmers will trade elsewhere.
though q boycott of Osakis was not
authorized by the farmers at the
meeting.
Farmers wives were back of this

ables them to marshal their collective
force quickly when any animal or bird
attacks one Of their number. They
seem to be disciplined and trained in
fighting together. and all other birds
and animals are afraid to attack a
parrot unless the bird can be caught
alone. Even then a shrill call sum-
mons the parrot army to the rescue.
