my senior and am deeply in love
with him. and | know that he
thinks quite good deal Of me
As We are third cousins, I would
like to know if it would be proper
for us to get married I have been
acquainted with him two days.
MILDRED
A third cousin is such a remote
that the tie is not a bar
rier to marriage. But you know him
only two days. 1t is for this reason
I say No" Two years is none too
long.

SCHOOL GARDEN PUPILS HAVE
PICNIC,

The pupils in the Warren and as
sociated school districts, who have
garden plots this year, were given a
delightful treat yesterday in the
shape of an automobile tour and
picnic in the country. All the chill
3dren from the country as we'll as
the town, met at the Warren school
gardens in the morning, the various
plots being carefully scrutinized by
the country children. That being
done, all were taken in autos to the
respective homes Of the country
pupils, whose plots also were care
fully examined. At the noon hour
the lunch baskets were opened and
their contents devoured with rel
.ish. The tour was finished in the
afternoon. all participating saying
they had a good time. The plots of
the pupils show good improvement
this year, and are generally free
from weeds.

LADIES STORM SCHOOL ELEG-

There is nothing slow about the.
ladies Of Baudette. No, indeed. They
proved this to the satisfaction Of
one and all at the annual school
election Saturday night, when they
swooped down upon the polling
place in large numbers, and when
the astonished clerks were through
counting the votes it was discover
ed that Baudette was the proud and
happy possessor of a lady trustee,
Mrs. 7. J. Williams being the one
to be honored. The ladies manag-
ed the coup in a manner that left
the mere men gasping. The polls
were opened at eight O'Clock, and
the election went along as school
elections generally do, without
much excitement. Suddenly about
ten minutes before closing time a
rustic of skirts was heard and the
ladies appeared. Not a few of them
but a whole army. They called for
ballots, secured them and then pro-
ceeded to elect one of the number.
Whether they will continue their
political work and become real suf-
fragettes is matter that they only
can answer, and they are not giving
out much information. The Bau-
sdette Region.

Middle River, July % The local
second nine took on a double head
er here Sunday, meeting strathcona
for the first game. Batteries: Goch-
rane and Silbaugh for the locals,
and Johnson and Thompson for
Strathcona. The game was chuck
full Of errors on both sides and the
final score flew up to 81 to 10 ia ia
vor of the locals. The second game
versus Newfolden first team, proved
one too many for the seconds
here. Batteries: Pokela and Spray
for the locals and Olson and Stem
nes for the Newfolden aggregation.
The final score in a Z inning game
resulted in victory for the visitors
of AZ to Z. Errors on both sides

the last part Of the game. It is ex-
pected that the Newfolden aggrega-

Ironing an Apple Tree

On AL. Stewards place in this city
an apple tree has been growing for
the last fifteen years or more, and
while it seemd thrifty and carried
ample bloom in the spring, it never
bore fruit. All. is Of an inuiring
turn of mind, and heard the theory
that the trouble with apple trees
sometimes is a lack of siron in the
blood and that this could be sup
piled by driving nails in the tree.
A year ago last spring he drove into
trunk Of the tree near the ground
four 20-penny spikes. For the first
time, the tree bore a small quanti-
ty OF fruit last season, and this year
is fairly loaded down with apples.

Migratory Bird Law Allows Liberal
Open season on Duck and Other
Wild Fowl.

In some sections of the country
an erroneous notion has sprung up
that the Federal Migratory Bird
Law will totally prohibit all shoot
ing of ducks and other wild fowl. It
is hard to understand how such
rumor has gained any credence for
not only does the new Federal
statute allow duck and other wild
fowl cunning but has, in several
states, materially extended the open
season on these birds. What the mi
gratory bird law does effect is to
wisely and well prohibit all spring
shooting. 1t is thought by many
sporting authorities that when this
particular injunction shall have
been in force a very few years the
hunter will find his duck shooting
to approach, near autumn after au-
tumn, that sport of which the old
est settler romances.
The new law which becomes eff.
fective on October 1, 1913, divides
its operative territory into two sec
tions "a northern and a southern
zone comprising the states above
and below a line stretched approx
mately from Delaware's northern
boundary to the northern boundary
Of California. In the northern zone
the open season on all water fowl
is from September tst to December
18th: that Of the southern, October
1st to January 18th. There are some
exceptions to this which in general
follow the states laws as they now
are. Migratory birds may not bs
killed between sunset and sunrise.

Old SET TIERS PICNIC
NEAR STEPHEN
LISTEN TO SPLENDID ADDRESS.
Es, RENEW ACQUAINTANCEs
TALK OVER OLD TINES

The Old Settlers Of Marshall
County held their fourth annual
picnic last Sunday in the Lundin
Grove at Happy Corners" north Of
Stephen. The day was beautiful and
there was large attendance of e,ld
settlers, their children and chill
dren's children, also many Of the
more recent arrivals in the county.
1t was indeed a notable gathering of
the old settlers from different parts
of the county pioneers who by
their labor, industry and lntelli-
gence have made this county what
it is today.
An interesting program had been
gotten up for the occasion. The
forenoon program consisted of a
song by the choir, scripture read
ing and prayer. a song Nearer
my God to Thee" by the congrega-
ton and an address by ?. A. Nc
Clernan, Of Stephen. :lr. MuGler-
mans address was a fine effort.
A basket picnic dinner was next
enjoyed in family Or neighborhood
groups. Free coffee was served
by the association. The dinner hour
was conducive to much sociability
and enjoyment.
The afternoon program opened
with an organ voluntary by Miss
Jnlia Grandstrand, an impressive
prayer and a song. Col +. A.
Green, of Stephen, President of the
Old Settlers Association \ If Mar
shall County, who presided at both
the forenoon and afternoon meet
ings, next extended, in choice Ian
guages a most hearty welcome to all
the old settlers and their friends. "A
song was next rendered and then
Judge Grindeland Of Warren, HIM
self an old settler, delivered very
much appreciated address. The
Judge has record as a story teller
and he related many humorous
happenings and incidents from the
early days. He called attention to
the struggles and hardships of the
early pioneers, their successes and
achievements, and paid an eloquent
and deserved tribute to the pioneer
women, whose work in developing
a new country is often more siren
uous and self-sacrificing than that
of the men. .s
Next the choir rendered a song or
two, appreciated by everybody.
Those who think country people
cannot sing should have been pres
ent at this occasion and they would
have learned that good music is by
no means confined to the villages
and towns.
The president next called upon
old settlers present for short talks
and "reminiscences, but they we're
not in talkative mood, only a few
responding.
The old officers of the Association
were reelected by acclamation,
their names being as follows: Pres
ident, F. A. Green; Secretary Treas.
John Whalen; Directors, J. ]. Sin
clair, f. O. Heuin and p. F. Benson.
A closing song, Sweet BY and
By was sung by the congregation
and then the benediction was pro
nounced by j. w. Field. Thus closed
very successful and highly en-
joyable reunion and picnic Of Mar
shall county pioneers. May the con-
stantly thinning ranks be kept to-
gether 50 that many such pleasant
gatherings may be held in the fu-
ture. 81
