HON, |, s, SWENSON
A GIFTED SPEAKER
Gives Excellent Address Before The
DEBORAH Luther College Club
ON Thursday Evening.
MEETING GREAT SUCCESS.
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED.
The Luther College Concert Band
Played, and Fine Banquet
Was Served.

The Decorah Luther College Club
held it's annual meeting at the Col
lege Auditorium Thursday evening.
Ex-minister Swenson SO was the
speaker of the evening. Hon. Sven
son who purchased the Bang Library
and recently returned to America re-
sides at present in Minneapolis. His
speech showed the position of Luth-
er College and her influence In this
present period. He complimented
the band, which had just played
several selections, on music render
ed. The band will be well received
in Norway and need not be afraid to
go to Norway or any other country.
Mr.. Hambro the editor of Morgen
Bladet, visited Luther College a year
ago, told him that L. C. had the best
amateur band he had ever heard.
Hon. Swenson spoke Of how much he
owed Luther College and for that
reason he could not help but be loyal;
how we admire individuals for their
character, so L. C. has character
that has secured for itself influence,
confidence and distinction.
The pioneers who laid the founda-
tion Of our school such men as Preus,
Koren, and Otteson will always be
remembered and DR.. Larson, the
Grand Old Man" who has done
more than anyone else to make Luth-
er College what it is today. We can
not fully appreciate the value of the
discipline and training that they
gave school, home, church and state
meant more in those days than they
do now. Then Hon. Swenson stated
that our present time is a period Of
unrest. There is a great demand for
social and justice reform, even social
Serious minded men are
trying to stem the tide. Gladstone
said that what England needed was
more Of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thus Hon. Swenson continued to say
that in this period of transition and
confused thinking Luther College has
more to preform than at any other
time. The pioneers were serious
minded they yielded more to chris
tian discipline than we who substi-
tute pleasures and diversions for
things more substantial. 1t is up to
we Norwegian Americans to help
stem this tide or the American ma
tion will go down to ruin as Rome
or France.
We fear public opinion too much
In our time; we should not think OF
what other people say but we should
strive to do right. My opinion OF
right is that we should guard against
losing individuality.
Luther College, continued the
speaker, has proceeded along the
straight and narrow path. There is
no reason why it should turn back
and listen to false prophets who ad-
wise change. Let us be consistent
and courageous and then let us go on
our way. Luther College graduates
have reputation for character and

Home Glasses In Practical Farming

a plan whereby ten or more farm
ers or farm women can form home
classes iii agriculture or domestic
science and receive the textbooks,
lectures, lantern slides, laboratory and
cooking equipment necessary to ,on-
duct them has been devised by the u.
s. Department of Agriculture in CO.
operation with Agricultural colleges
o. certain States.
The object of the plan is to make
accessible at home to man and women
who have not the time or means to
attend the regular courses at the col
leges, practical short courses in agri-
culture and home management special
ly adapted to their districts. These
courses, which will consist of 10 to 20
lectures, and will consume five or
more weeks, can be arranged to suit
the spare time and convenience of
each group Of people.
The courses to be offered at first
are poultry raising, fruit growing,
soils, cheese manufacturing, dairying,
butter making and farm bookkeeping;
and for the women especially, courses
in the preparation, cooking and use of
vegetables and cereal foods The De-
partment will! supply lectures and
lantern slides covering these subjects,
and the States which have agreed to
cooperate in the plan will lend to
each group laboratory and cooking
apparatus valued at 500 and ref
erence library. The textbooks and
lectures will be made So complete that
each group can safely appoint one of
its members as study leader to direct
the work of the course.

class in some other district. The work
thereafter is left in charge of the lead
er, who receives assistance by mail
from the College or the Department in
carrying en- the work.
AS there is no regularly paid in
structor, classes can be carried on all
over the State as rapidly as the col
lege organizer can visit the groups
and as quickly as the laboratory sets
supplied by the college become avail
able. The local leader will preside
during the reading of the lectures and
references, for which full texts and
lantern slides are supplied by the De-
partment. He will also be responsible
for the laboratory equipment. Every
one who completes the course will re-
ceive certificate from the State Col
lege.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-10-24

When a group has decided to take
up the work, the State which cooper
ates sends an agent with the Depart
ment's representative to organize a
sample class and assist the leader who
they elect in laying out the work mad
in showing him the best methods of
procedure. The classes commonly are
held from 500 to 1900 in the morn
ing and from 90 to 400 in the after
noon, two or three days each week.
The sessions are not held every day,
so that the members will have time to
attend to their farm duties in between
the sessions, as we'll as before and
after the instruction period. The
classes meet commonly at the most
convenient farmhouse. During the
morning hours text book work is
done. In the afternoon laboratory
work is conducted, and the women who
have elected to take the domestic
science courses have practical lessons
in cooking.
AS soon as a class is established the
State organizer withdraws to start

NEW RULES OBNOXIOUS.
Railroads Shift Responsibility in Hand
linz PsrishabIs Freight.

Des Moines, May 29-IoWa commits
sion men and farmers who ship live
stock are expected to raise a storm fof
protest against an order which the
railroads of the middle west expect to
place in effect July !, limiting their
liability in handling perishable freight
and live stock.
Copies Of the orders were received
Yesterday by Clifford Thorne. chair
man of the state railroad commission.
Shippers Of the state will be notified.
This ruling by the roods 1t is said.
will be of tremendous Importance to
the public.
The order affecting perishable freight
provides that the roads after July l.
will not be responsible for the condi-
ton of such freight during transit or
after it has reached the destination.
The second order is that the roads will
not guarantee the delivery of goods at
any specified time. This affects live
stock which shippers expect to be
rushed thru. An odd feature Is that
the rulings are not to apply on Mime
sofa and Wisconsin intrastate tranio,
but are to apply on Iowa shipments. as
well as in other states in the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley.
When the shippers realize the i'm
portance Of these orders it is probable
that they will organize to ask Thorne
to represent them in protest to the
Interstate commerce commission.
Should the roads refuse to guarantee
speedy delivery Of live stock, it would
mean loss Of millions Of dollars to ship
pers OF cattle and hogs, 1t is said. I'm
der the present system farmer IN
shipping to the big markets loads his
live stock so as to reach the market
when the top prices arc being offered.
II the shipment is delivered day late
and the price falls, the shipper loses
big sum of money. The Iowa supreme
court has held that in cases OF this
kind II the railroad has not delivered
the live stock on time. the road shall
reimburse the shipper for his loss.
The supreme court Of the United
States, however. has ruled that the
roads may limit their liability. 1t is
said that the action Of the roads In
the present situation Is under this rul-
ing.

Des Moines May 29.--The despera
ruin Of the republican party in Iowa
was shown this week when every coun-
" auditor in Iowa received an official
communication from the board OF su-
perviSors OF Boone county, transmitted
10y the county auditor. notifying them
TO set busy in the campaign Tor the
defeat of Governor Clarke and an
nouncing a program for them to fight
until the June primary and then some,
or in other words to vote the demo-
cratic ticket in case the republican
party stands by its own officials ana
its own record.
The letter is a specious appeal II
county officials 70 clear themselves
from responsibility for increased tax
levies by lighting Clarke. saying
Governor Clarke and his supporters
charge that the great burden of In
creased taxation is due TO the boards
of supervisors and township trustees

The letter directed that each county
auditor insist upon his local news
papers printing two columns OF plate
matter furnished by the Lee mana
gers. which matter is intended TO carry
transformation and deceive the voters.
The county auditors are advised -
secure its publication even tho at any
expense.
The Boone board and auditor viz
tually acknowl edge their responsibility
alone for whatever of high taxes there
NAV be in that county. by taking q
hand in the fight and joining the anti

ether county board and county auditor
in the state is ready to fight the gov
ernor for having told the simple truth
about taxation without in any way re-
ferring to them.

the state are democrats and there is a.
least one democrat on each county
board in two thirds of the counties o.
