Watch Your Cherry Trees.

The phenomenon is being witnessed
of several cherry trees out in the
county being in full bloom. Mr. R..
thinner, whose father owned a large
cherry orchard in Germany, and who
has assisted in the making of many a
barrel of ''kirchenwasser" or cherry
brandy, says that when a cherry tree
blooms in the fall it is sure not to bear
fruit the following year.

minutes will about catch all of them.
1t will be month before any of the
northern trained horses will be cut

been getting better brand of weather,
and some of them have been able to
step their horses along, although so
far there has been nothing of the SEN
sational order. 1t will be few weeks

go north, and between now and then
the horses will be given grilling,

Mrs. Amelia Kellar, to whom great
credit is due The school children
did very we'll in recitations, songs
and flag drills 1t is hard to choose
between the different ones, but per
haps the best work was done by the
Manter girls and the three Gunso
lus sisters. The Memorial day ad
dress was given by J. w. Sawyer
of Mankato. He brought out thu
consequences of rebellion in ali
oges, and sketched the history OF
the Civil war, it's cost, and the

dict in the hope that he would know

his brother William shipped some
goods to MARCEL in the northern

there.
When the news was spread OF the
finding of dead man in the river
bed near Bradley's Crossing last Sat
urday, the brother thought perhaps
that William Saenger was the miss
ing one, as he had not heard from
him since he left, and the goods had
already arrived. An effort will be
made to find William Saenger.

The Titanic disaster has been an
all absorbing topic of interest recent
ly in Norway. There were not many
Norwegians on board. but the horror
of the calamity made deep impress
sion upon everybody, so that even
public meetings have been held in
several places to express the grief and
sorrow experienced by the Norwegian
people. In spite of the fact that prob
ably no nation has such strict rules
for the safety Of passenger steamers
the Titanic disaster has led to still
better control of what is already de-
manded and new rules will require a
still better outfit of boats and other
appliances in the future

but finaIIy the bill passed in good
form. The principal argument IN
favor of the measure was that Norway
ought to prepare a great exposition
for all the Observation-Disclosures who
are expected to make visit to the old
country during the summer Of 1914.
One question. however. remains I'M
settled, which is of great Importance,
and that is whether or not it shall be
allowed to sell wine and alcoholic
liquors within the grounds. The ex-
position committee finds it necessary
to have this license granted in order
to make ends meet, but prohibitionists,
who are numerous in this country,
insist that it shall be a temperance
exposition. A motion has been made
in the storthing to this effect, but the
probability is that it will be voted
down by a small majority. The expo
sition will not be international in
character. The intention is merely
to show the conditions of industry and
art in Norway and show what progress
has been made during the past 100
years.
Norway's Independence Day, the 18th
OF May, was observed all over the
civilized world, for there is no corner
OF the earth where there is not col.
ony of Norwegians and no such colony
ever overlooks the 18th of May. The
Gay is the anniversary of the promul-
cation Of the Norwegian constitution,
May 18th, 1914, at Eidsvold, Norway,
in which the people declared them
selves free and Independent of every
hation in the world and particularly
that of Sweden and Denmark. Then
they got ready to fight and there were
some minor skirmishes, but happily it
was possible to reconcile the Swedes
and Danes for the time being and a
sanguinary war was averted. Sweden,
which had received Norway from the
great powers after the fall of Napole-
on, agreed to recognize the Norwegian
constitution and Norway consented to
the union with the king of Sweden as
the appointed monarch. The date,
May II, was not generally observed
as public holiday for many years
after the Eidsvold meeting, but Verge
land, Bjornson and other patriots en-
couraged public celebrations on that
day and now it has. become the great
national holiday of Nc way This
year celebrations took place not only
throughout Norway, but in the United

States and Alaska; in London. Berlin,
