.ALYARADO is A BUSY
MARKET PLACE
FARMERS HAUL MUCH GRAIN TO
B ELEVATORS AND STORES ARE
CROWDED EVERY DAY

It does not take a whole day in Al
varado to come to the conclusion that
it is one Of the busiest little towns in
the Red River Valley. L is sur
prise to the stranger to see SO many
farmers teams waiting at the eleva-
tors, and if one should peep into any
Of the stores, one would find the mer-
chant busy with two or three Gus
toners at a time.
With Warren on the one side. and
/ Oslo on the other, some may wonder
where all the people come from that
may be seen in Alvarado every day.
While the market area may not be
large, it must be remembered that Al
varado pulls" from the choicest sec
ton in the Red River Valley. It ca
ters to the Oldest residents of the
county, and surrounding the town are
the finest farms in the Northwest.
Marshall County people are prone
to think of their county only when it
comes to marketing, but in AlVarado .
great part of the trade comes from
Polk County, where some of the fin
est settlements may be seen. The
roads into Alvarado generally are
good, and that is one factor which
brings in the big loads of grain.
business men of the place say that
at least 100000 bushels of grain will
be marketed there this season. That
makes Alvarado one of the leading
initial grain markets in the Red River
Valley.
Many improvements have been
made in the town during the last
Year. On the main business street
may be seen a new bank building and
a new warehouse. Other improve
ments are contemplated, and it is
Thought the appearance of Alyarado
Will be changed greatly next year.
a creamery would be a paying
proposition in AlVarado, and steps
may be taken soon to get one there.
Alvarado has the making" of a
town much larger than it is at pre-
sent and can support scores Of addi-
tional families.

In the Current Events Class last
Saturday, Prof. Sjostrand gave a very
interesting and instructive report on
Taxation. He used the actual figures
for the township of Warrenton as an
illustration. Prof. Sjostrand has had
a great deal Of experience in working
with the figures at the court house,
and therefore knows from actual ex-
perience what the system is.
Christmas vacation will begin on
Friday evening, and therefore in Or
der to get in all the work, school was
held last Monday. Otherwise many
students would have been compelled
to stay over Sunday; since there are
no trains going north or west on Sat
urday evening.
Several programs which should
have been held this week had to be
postponed, since electric lights have
not yet been installed in the assembly
room. As soon as the electrician can
find time, he will "give us light.
Rev. G. Wahlund has donated
whole wagon load of books and maga-
zines to the college library We visit

PAST AND PRESENT WORK OF

OUTLINED BY PRESIDENT

bal wolf from the door, as we'll az
those who are afflicted physically are
being remembered kindly by mem
hers and friends Of the z Marshall
County Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
Thru its president. Rev. G. Wahlund,
an appeal is made to the charitable
Of the county to the end that those in
need may find some joys and comforts
at Christmas time Sa
It is urged that neighbors care for
the afflicted of the respective commu-
mites as we'll as possible. It is i'm
possible for the Association to reach
all in distress, but with the kline as
sistance Of the people in the various
localities, much good can be accom-
plished in this season Of good cheer.
Many Warren families have col
lected clothing and food, which will be
distributed to worthy people in the
surrounding townships. DR.. g. s.
Wattam is taking an active interest
in this work and will supervise the:
distribution of articles. There also
will be some Christmas cheer for a
couple of poverty stricken families in
Warren.
The message of the Associations S
president is "Christmas Thought

our Lord in His Sermon on the Mount.
If we are merciful, we. are considerate

'The Marshall County Anti Tuber-
culosis Association already has done a
great deal to assist and relieve fami-
lies afflicted with the dreaded disease,
tuberculosis. Last fall and winter
we had visiting nurse in the field

and commented upon.
Nov we have in the field another
good, strong and well-educated nurse.
Miss Carrie Skallerud, a young wo-
man we'll adapted for this hard work
in our climate. We mention her and
her work and appeal to everybody to
assist her in the great work of help

healthy from ravages of the white
plague.
"Our physicians have volunteered
their valuable time and given their
good advice and leadership in this

ATTACKS ON GOMPERS.

TT IS a question whether the attacks upon Presi-
4 dent Samuel Gompers Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor not going too far. Gompers is
now accused of tramping on the flag during a
labor day meeting in one of the California cities.
Various stories are told, but Gompers declares
that an effort is making TO put him in false po-
sition, and he utterly disavows any dsrespect for
the flag and denies that he trampled on it.
1t would be unfortunate for Mr. Gompers il the
labor chief should entertain disrespect for the en-
bem of the nation. The head of the Federation
was criticised severely and justly, because Of his
connection with the Mcnamara incident, and even
those who had been his friends and supporters
demncd him for plungng the thousands of mem
bers of labor unions into defense of men who
recently confessed that they were guilty Of an
atrocious crime.
The critics believed that Gompers should have
been keen enough 20 know what was going on, or
that he should have made a greater effort to OBJ
tain the facts which would have prevented the
mulcting of large sums from thousands Of work
crs to defend men who deliberately planned
the destruction of property and seemed not to care
whether such destruction entaed the loss Of lives
of men some OF whom were and might be members
of the unions
Other charges have been brought against Com
pers and it is certain that he is dsliked by capital
generally. Gompers has also, entirely aside from
these matters, been the victim of determined war
within the ranks of the Federation. The large
group of Socialists have bitterly opposed him and
would overthrow him today if they could because
he has been persistent and determined in his oppo-
stion to Socialism and its tenets and he has never
hesitated, when occasion required to denounce the
Socialists doctrines
II Gompers we're routed and a Socialist placed
at the head OF the Federation the bitterness that
has existed between labor and capital would soon
be so much increased that the present feeling
would be but gentle zephyr compared with a
storm
1t is also we'll to remember that Gompers has
never been accused of corruption, and no other
man holds position that would be more attractive
to those who practice corruption. Had he been
susceptible TO such influences, the foes of labor
organizations would no doubt have practiced such
methods upon him.
As we have said Gompers has been often held up
to just criticism, but is only fair that some other
matters in relation to this man. who for years and
years has been the leader of great body of Amer
lean citizens, should be considered in taking his
measure.
