ness with tuberculosis of the lungs.
He has not enjoyed good health for
several years, and has been gradually
failing with the advancement of the
disease, and has been confined to his
bed for several months.

friends in this community in their
sorrow over the loss of their son.
Deceased was born in the township
of Pepperton % years ago, and has
spent his whole life in this commun-
ity. The funeral was held from the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon.

Somewhat Mixed.

Browns Valley Tribune A Browns
Valley young lady visited the cooking
school one afternoon last week, where
her attention was equally divided be-
tween new dress worn by an ac-
quaintance and the directions for max
ing cake. Upon returning home she
undertook to write down the recipe
for making the cake for her mother.
and the old lady was paralyzed when
she read:
Take two pounds of flour three rows
of pleating down the front, the whites
of two eggs cut bias, pint of milk
ruff1ed around the neck, half a pound
of currents with seven yards bead
trimming, grated lemon peel with
spanish lace fischu; stir well, and add
semi-fitting paletot with visite
sleeves; butter the pan with Brazilian
topaz necklace, and garnish with icing
and jetted Passesenteries bake in a
moderately hot oven until the over
skirt is tucked from the waist down
on either side, and finish with large
satin bows. Her mother said she
thought these new tangled ideas in
cooking ought to be frowned down.

What Hughes Thinks About It

Editor Hugh Hughes, of the Farm,
Stock and Home. has a good word for
the West Central Minnesota Develop
ment Leauge in the last issue of his
journal. The inception of the league
really traces back to Mr.. Hughes
visit to Morris in the early part of
the winter, when some ideas were ad-
vanced which kept growing until they
resulted in the formation of the
league. Mr.. Hughes says .
"F., S. & H. takes pleasure in re-
cording briefly at this time the or.
ganization of the West Central
Minnesota Development League. and
for two reasons. The first is that
it starts out on practical basis look
ing to the accomplishment of results
rather thru community action and i'm
provement than thru the shopworn
political methods that have discredited
to large measure, the work of the
Northern association. Better stock,
better crops, more cooperation among
the farmers, and a better understand
ing between town and country are
worthy things to work for. and such
propaganda means much to western
Minnesota.
"The second reason for interest in
this movement is that it is a direct
result of the work being done by F..
S. & H. in behalf of a better and
broader community life. At the in
stance of L. c. Spouner, the editor
visited Morris and outlined a plan of
cooperation which was taken up and
worked out in detail by Mr.. Higbee
of the West Central School of Agri-
culture and business men and farmers
in the vicinity of Morris. This COM
mittee was enlarged. embraced the
county, and invited into conference
some twenty other counties, fifteen
of which responded. So the movement
started. Conditions in western Min
nesota are ripe for progress and F.,
S. & H. is glad to record this decisive
step in behalf of better community
life, better farming. and better
homes.' -
