Frances Strandberg.

Frances Amanda Strandberg, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E.
Strandberg, died at the home of her
parents in Framnas on Friday, Dec.
29th. She was taken sick on July
Oath last and tho there have been &C.
casions when her health seemed to
improve, yet she has never been we'll
since. On Sept. 10Th she underwent
an operation at the Starbuck hospital
and remained there for a couple of
weeks. The cause of her death was
tuberculosis.
This promising child whose death
her parents and friends so deeply
mourn was born at Grant City. Mo. 4,
on July 18th, 1897, and lived there
with her parents and at Centerville.
Iowa. where she completed the eighth
grade in school. She came to Morris
a year ago. and last year was a
student in the Morris High School.
The funeral was held from the home
on New Years Day, Rev. A. R. Lar
son preaching the funeral sermon, and
in spite of the severe weather many
sympathizing friends attended to ex-
press their sympathy to the sorrowing
family.

Literary Club Entertains.

The ladies of the Morris Literary
Club entertained the gentlemen at the
pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
J. Stewart on Monday evening of this
week. The home was prettily decor
ated for the occasion with the club
coIors. After a pleasant social hour
a delightful musical program was
rendered. consisting of vocal solo
by Mrs. Graves, a piano duet by Mrs.
Haatvedt and vocal solo by Miss
Slawson. Following this all the
guests assembled in one room while
the other room was converted into
a stage and there a number of the
ladies rendered a pleasing little farce
entitled "The Ladies Speak at Last. /"
The club this year are studying Shake
speare, and this farce presented the
prosaic life of Shakespeare heroines in
quite different light from that pre-
scented by the poet. juliet was repre-
scented by Georgina Faith Schram-
Haatvedt. Ophelia by Olive Edna
Ortman- Beise. Portia by Clara Clark
Light and Lady Macbeth by Nellie
Kerns -Burpee. The audience was
most appreciative Of the representation
of these characters given by the
ladies. At the close of the enjoyable
evening, an elaborate spread was
served.

each tree and trenches dug eight inches
deep extending in all directions from
the. tree trunk. This is to retain the
moisture that runs down the hillside.
Last fall 80 bushels of choice apples
from the best trees were picked from
this orchard and set aside in bushel
boxes for three weeks, for the pur-
pose OF detecting any which might be
imaerfect or injured. Every apple in
t1es32 bushels was carefully examined
by an expert and from this lot four
bushels were selected. The best from
this lot were then packed in a barrel
holding approximately two and three
fourths bushels. Each apple was
wrapped in three thicknesses of paper
and they were packed in tiers with a
sheet of paste board between them.
They were expressed directly to
Spokane and placed in storage until
taken out for the apple show on the
2Afh@ of November.
Two years ago apples from this
saTne orchard took the first and second

The wealthies took the first prize of

Sixty cars of apples were shipped
OUT of Fillmore county alone last fall.
and if the statistics concerning the
production of the state this season
coQld be obtained the results would
be astonishing to US all.
It is conceded that the develop.
meht of apple raising in Minnesota de-
peads upon four things: Soil. eli.
matte conditions, available markets
and the man in charge.
The soil should be clay or gravelly
loan with fairly porous subsoil. A
very sandy soil requires more attention.
Different varieties produce fruit Of
vrey different qualities in the differ
ent states. For instance, New York
cannot grow as good Ben Davis
apples as Missouri; Michigan cannot
grow as good Jonathans as Oregan
Minnesota cannot grow as good King.

MUST SHOW LIGHT.
Since First of Year Vehicles Re-
quired to Garry Lights.

Since the irst of January it is
necessary for every owner of vehicle
to equip it with lamp throwing a
white light to the front and red to the
rear when travelling upon the public
highway after dark. This is the pro-
vision of one of the laws of the last
legislature and is. perhaps one of the
most widely ridiculed laws ever en-
acted. The intent of the Legislators
was no doubt good, but in carrying
out the details of the law there may
result some ludicrous situations.
The Willmar Gazette thus comments
upon the law -
The ordinary vehicles. such as
wagons, buggies, and sleighs, can
easily be equipped with lamp that
squints both ways like political
platform declaration. But there are
some vehicles that it will be difficult
to so equip. Take baby carriage
for instance. A lamp placed on the
side of the carriage would shine for
those in front. but unless the person
furnishing the motive power were un-
usually slender built no light could
penetrate to the rear. If daddy were
pushing the carriage it might be prac-
ticable to pin second lamp to his
coat tail. While this would not be
in strict accordance with the letter of
the law. it would probably be held
reasonably close to the spirit thereof.
But if mamma were doing the pushing
she might, and probably would, object
to any such a posteriori proposition.
1t would there for be necessary to
clamp on to the side of the carriage
an arm extending far enough out to
let the light get by the pusher: the
length of said lamp arm to be deter
mined by the volumnosity of the
pusher. 1t would necessary of course
to have these arms on the right side
of the carriage 80 as not to interfere
With another carriage in meeting"
SIN some cities baby carriages
would be exempt by staying on the
sidewalk, but here in WiIimar we
have an ordinance forbidding the use of
the sidewalk for any vehicle, so it
will be necessary to use the streets,
which are held to be highway I'M
der the legislative act now under con-
siderati0n.
cit may be possible to avoid this
lighting question by substituting a
wheelbarrow for baby carriage.
ave notice that number of our
contemporaries include wheelbarrows
under the term vehicles, but careful
and exhaustive research has convinced
US that such is not the case. You will
notice in the definitions of vehicles
that the word "wheels' is used
not the singular form, "wheel. "
Therefore a wheelbarroW is not
vehicle and need not carry light.
To make assurance doubjy sure, We
looked up the word wheelbarrow" in
the dictionary and found that it is de-
fined as "a sort of hand machine,
consisting of" etc. The law says
nothing about "hand- machines there
fore the wheel barrow is exempt from
the light proposition and can be used
on the sidewalks, too. Parents will
please take notice and provide them
selves with wheelbarrows to replace
the baby carriages. A young man
can also take his sweetheart out rid
ing in wheelbarrow without having
any unnecessary light cast on the
transaction.

latures, anyWaV?"

elsewhere.
Our markets are the very hest. 1t
is estimated that 175. 900 barrels of
apples are sold in Minnesota yearly,
and that of these only 5 per cent are
grown within the state.
1t is the history in TIE development
in all lines of agriculture that the
highest attainment is reached only af-
ter the husbandman has been brought
to a point of great stress. 1t was
not until the condition of fruit raising
in Minnesota had been brought to a
period where it was fast becoming a
reproach that the commercial industry
began to develop.
Prof. ]. G. Moore, the horticuI-
turist of the Wisconsin College of
agriculture, says in recent paper:
Minnesota has been passing
through the stage of home orchard,
and today stands at the threshold of
commercial apple growing industry.
The home orchard as a producer must
reform. Conditions have change
and practices must change to keep
pace with the changed conditions.
What is the cause of the success of
the Western grower? Not favor, not
superior condition of soil and climate,
not more natural blessings. but be-
cause he makes apple growing his
business and not side line. With
abundance of suitable soil, list of
adapted varieties as large as any COM
mercial section and with a demand
sufficient to take any times the amount
now produced; with markets and mar
ket facilities surpassed by no other
fruit growing section, with growers
who are growing fruit as a
business not as a side line to dairying,
grain raising. or other business.
there is no conceivable reason why
this region, once despised as an apple
growing section, should not take
its place among the foremost sections
of the country as a producer of fTne
appearing, first class apples of quality
unsurpassed by none and equa.2eE a
few sections of the country"
