AMI PARSONAGE
Buildings Freshly Pain}od and
Grounds BeautifIed by Level
ing of Lawns and Seeding OF
Same

Since the advent of the present pas
tor, Rev. H G. Logan, there has
been evident a revival Of interest, in
identifying and improving both the
church and parsonage properties. The
parsonage has been painted on the
out side, painted ard beautified on
the inside and the porch screened
in, all of which adds to the general
appearance of the place.
The lower half of the church build
ing has been covered with stUcco,
while the upper portion has been
freshly painted which makes an ex-
ceIIent contrast which adds beauty
to the building. The grounds about
the church have been leVeIed off
seeded and otherwise improved, which
lends a completeness to the church
property that was not present before.
These improvements are commendab,E
on the part of the church board and
and congregation and arge in harmony
with the general public interests OF
Identifying not only business places
but residences as well. We compli-
ment them in their efforts to keep a
pace with the city.

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN
Buy from peddIers as much and as
often as possibl
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Make your town out bad place
and stab it every chance you get
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
.ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them
with extortion. If a stranger comes
to your town tell him everything is
overdone, and predict a general crash
in the near future.
Pauonize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own and then
denounce yours for not being as large
and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are a merchant don't adver-
tise in the home paper. but compel
the editor to go elsewhere for adyer-
tisements and howl like a sore head
because he does so. Buy a rubber
stamp and use it. It may save you a
few dimes and make your letter head
and wrappers look as though you
were doing business in a one horse
town.
If you are farmer, curse the
place where you trade as the meanest
on earth. Talk this over to your
neighbors and tell them the men are
robbers and thieves. 1t will make
your property much less valuable;
but you don't care

HOW TO MAKE A TOWN.


Encourage everyone, especially new
men to come in and settle among
you, particularly those who are Wor-
thy and active, whether they have
capital or not. Their labor alone
is worth money. Those who have cap
itaI will buy lots, build houses, or
tear out and remodel the old ones.
Go to work and stimulate every legi-
innate enterprise by giving it all the
friendly encouragement you can, and
by uniting our industry, intelligence
and capital in a common cause. Gull
tivate a public spirit and talk less
than you work. Help your neighbor.
If he is in danger Of breaking down
prop him up in some way, eihter by
kind words, good council or lift
from your pocket. If he gets fairly
down before you know Of his situa-
ton. set him on his feet again, his
misfortune is to be pitied, not blam-
ed, and his talents and labor are
worth money to the community. Be
sides it may some day be your turn to
need a corresponding amount of sym
patty. Encourage your local authori-
ties in making public improvement
for the good of the town. Speak we'll
talk encouragingly of the town you
| live in. of its prospects, OF your
neighbors, and in fact Of everything
likely to advance the public good. 1t
is such little things that make a town
grok. Their cost is insignificant when
divided among all, but when concen-
trated into general effort they do the
business thoroughly.

PROF. WOOD AT IDEAL THEATRE

PROF. WOOD AT IDEAL THEATRE
The Ideal Theatre was crowded
Friday night, on account of the eX-
celIent program Of moving pictures,
also ON account of the lecture OF
Prof. Wood ON MormOnism, emphas1z
ed by the presentation of beautiful
slides showing the Mormon church,
temple and residences. His talk on
Mormonism was certainly a great re
velation and eye opener to all Of our
people that heard him last night. HE
stated that he was born, raised and
educated in Salt Lake City, under
the Mormon faith and was posted
with their belief and practices. He
certainly convinced his hearers OF
his opposition to the growth OF that
church and their teachings in this
country. He is doing great good by
his lectures, Illustrated with lantern
slide pictures. This subject and
the inner workings of that church

know that the Professor is in this
work, and we are only sorry that ever
person in Grand Rapids were unable
to hear him. He is a splendid talker

are clearly understood. We hope
that every father and mother in
Grand Rapids will try and hear him
tonight. While we have read

Well Known Educational AansResident Director Of the
Moorhead Normal and Member Of New Educational Board
Citizens Of Moorhead Are Appalled, and Business in That City
azEs Almost Ceased During the Day

r Lew A. Huntoon, president Of the
First National bank of Moorhead,
passed away at 12:45 this afternoon.
The final dissolution wholly unlocked
for yesterday came quickly after an
unexpected turn for the worse during
last night and brought on by heart
affection.
After months of preparation and
after advising with eminent physicians
Mr.. Huntoon was submitted to opera
tions for gall stones and appendicitis,
at the Moorhead hospital, last Monday
morning. Up to last evening the re-
ports from the sick room were re-
assuring and it was not until business
men were on their way down town to
stores and offices that they heard with
alarm that there had been a turn for
the worse in the condition of the
patient and the doctors in attendance
were alarmed. Later 1t was reported
with authority that Mrs Huntoon had
been informed that recovery was
hopeless. .'."
When the bad news had filtered
through business and social circles as
the morning wore on there seemed to
be almost an entire cessation of
activities-everybody waiting for the
next report and finally at noon the sad
message was waited from one to the
other that the spirit of Mr.. Huntoon
had passed hence.
