Gradually and silently during the
Nast few weeks the graceful architec-
tural lines of North Star Colleges.
new building have revealed them
selves to wondering eyes turned in
the direction of the college grounds
IS the upper story and the roof with
its gables and arches, and crowning
all, the stately tower, sprung into be-
ing at the hands of the builders, all
heholders have Joined in exclaiming.
What beautiful building Aud
it is beautiful, but also more than
that 1t is substantial and we'll ar
ranged to serve the purposes for which
it is being built. The new building
is certainly a credit to the organiza-
biona which stands as its sponser and
whose enterprise and zeal for the
Christian education of our youth,
coupled with the assistance of hun
dreds Of interested friends thruout the
valley, have made the erection of the
building possible and it is also an or
nament to this city which has the
honor of being the institutions home
The establishing of North Star Col
lege is the greatest educational and
cultural undertaking by private enter
prise in the history of the Red River
Valley. An institution like North
Star College is bound to exert an in
fluence for good in this part of the
Northwest, not for day, but for gem
erations to come. Its value as an in
tellectual, moral and economic force
in the community cannot be estimat-
ed in dollars and cents.
A building like this does not rise
by it's own volition 1t has required
a good deal of thought and planning
and some anxiety ty--and great deal
of money. The building will cost
completed in the neighborhood of
$4,000. At least half of this amount
must still be raised. Money is
needed every day now to pay work
men and for material. Those who
have not yet contributed their mite
toward the erection Of the building
are asked to do so now, the sooner
the better. Help now, is worth dou-
ble There are very few persons
who read these lines but who can
contribute a five or a ten, and many
we know could give 25, SO, yes even
100 or 500 dollars without feeling it.
Please send this money now, or
whatever you can spare, whether lit.
tie or much, to the solicitor, Rev G.
Wahlund, Warren, Mimi, and same
will be receipted for and acknpwledg-
ed with thanks. And blest will be
the giver.

LATE CORN CULTIVATION

The farmer who has been accus-
toned to laying his corn by on such
date finds himself in peculiar cir.
cumstance this season. From present
indications late cultivation must be
the keynote of this seasons corn
crop. The growth the plants have
made, and the moisture condition of
the soil will surely necessitate later
attention than in previous seasons.
z Corn is a cultivated crop, and pro-
ftable crop is not obtained unless the
cultivator is used until the corn is
too large to be cultivated with two
horse implement Should dry weather
continue, large corn may be benefited
by the. use Of one-horse cultivator
or a light A harrow, used between the
rows. At all events every late cult
walton should be surface cultivation
and not too close to the complaints.
We cannot afford to disturb or break
the roots of the compliant at this sea
son Of the year, and the entire aim OF
late cultivation should be to conserve
soil-moisture and check the late
weed growth.
Late rains may come, but for the
present let us remember that moist
ure already in the soil is just as good
or even better, than that which may
come. And again It may not come, Il
which case a few extra surface cult
vations may mean the making Of the
corn crop this year O. NJ Olson, Ex

FIRST GUN IN GuBERNAToRlAL
CAMPAIGN

Hon. Z. G. Spooner, Of Morris, was
here Tuesday calling upon our citi-
zens in the interest of his candidacy
for governor. He was in Warren n
years ago, when he was rising black
haired and black-whiskered lawyer,
then employed as counsel in the arson
case. of R. II. Folwell, which case
caused considerable excitement in our
lefty. Both he and Warren have
changed considerably since then. Mr..
Spooner is now gray-haired and GER
tainly is dignifed looking enough to
fill the Office of chief executive of the
state.
Mr.. Spooner addressed fair-sized
crowd at the opera house in the even.
ing. He is good speaker and i'm.
presses one as being earnest and sin.
cere in what he says. Mr.. Spooner
dwelt largely upon his work as a
member of the Minnesota legislature
where he has put forth valued efforts
to enlarge the prison twine plant, and
the farm machinery manufacturing
plant so as to include the making of
binders, mowers, corn harvesters, etc.
He has also worked for increased
railroad taxation and lower freight
and passenger rates. He has also
been actively interested in introduc-
ing reforms and economies in public
accounting and doing away with graft
in various state departments. Mr..
Spooner is now interested in farming
some 5000 acres of land, hence is
we'll familiar with the needs of the
farming class. If he gets the nomi-
nation and election, he will make a
good governor, we believe.

WARREN HAS
GLORIOUS FOURTH
A FINE DAY BRINGS BIG CROWD
OF PEoPLE-ALL HAVE GOOD
., TIME

This years celebration of the
Fourth in Warren was very success
full There was large crowd of
people, especially young folks and
children and all had a good time. The
exercises at the park were very in
teresting Col. A. P. Mcintyre as
president of the day made a neat
speech of welcome. The Declaration
of independence was read by Miss
Dora Holcomb and never have we
heard more meaning put into that
time-honored document than Miss
Holcomb was able to give. The adj
dreess by Rev. William Stewart
Shields, of IIallock, was an eloquent
and patriotic effort, bristling with
good thoughts and witticisms. The
musical selections by the band and
choir were also we'll received.
