Rev. karr PIedSeS
The Grain Men

The following was taken from the
American Cooperative Journal and
refers to an address before that
body at the time of the recent meet
ing here:
Just before noon on Wednesday,
Rev. Karr was given the floor to say
few words in reference to the Val
Hey City Chautauqua. Rev. Karr Is
genuine Irish Methodist preacher and
knows how to make a speech that will
take with gathering of farmers ele'
vator men, or, for that matter, any
other gathering Of men. He has
full measure of the genuine Irish wit
and to say that he put the audience
in good humor would be putting it
mildly. He is quite a student OF co.
operation, thoroughly understands It's
fundamental principles and got right
into the spirit of the matter the first
thing. He told about the work of the
Chautauqua at Valley City They
plan to do more at their Chautauqua
than they have ever done in the past
and the Valley City Chautauqua is
one Of the finest Chautauquas that is
held anywhere in the West. Their
Chautauqua will last three weeks this
year, which is a week longer than
formerly and week longer than
most any other Chautauqua in the
country. The educational feature is
going to be especially strong. In
some respects they are going to turn
it into sort of summer school for
the benefit of everybody. An unus
pal feature There are two camps
bone for boys and one for girls. They
expect to get 120 boys and hundred
girls this year in those camps, anc
ithey are going to give them regu
lar course in instruction as well az
good timle. They have engaged
some of the finest ;fHlent for the Val
aley City 'Ehautauqus that the country
daffords, ;and taking everything into
consideration it is not at all surpris
\ ing that people conse for miles around
to atteBSs this ChsEtauqua.

SPRING WORK BEGINS.

From various sections of the county
word has been received that spring
work started Tuesday. There will be
no seeding for some time but the seed
bed can be prepared and made ready
for the seeding as soon as the season
arrives. The ground is in excellent
shape and the outlook was never
better for good crop than at the
present time. The shortage of help
Is causing some uneasiness amongst
the farmers but it is hoped that many
men will arrive in ample time.
Barnes county is enjoying good
rain today. There does not seem to
have been any urgent demand for
bore moisture but It cannot DO any
