speech explained that the members of

the purpose Of showing their appreci-
alton of the work of the leader Of the
choir, and also handed him a purse of
$4S.50, then Mr.. Bystrom's surprise
was complete and he replied feeling

Der Of toasts, spicy, witty, humorous,
grave, were later responded to by
remnants of the pastors who had been
here to attend the mission meeting
and by others. Dainty refreshments
were served by the ladies.

Neishbors Help Unfortunate Farmer

S'SS ''S'f ShiSt SOidtG fdTHlST.
c. R, Engelstad, who has been en-
gagged in farming in this vicinity for
number Of years and during the
past year on the farm of his brother,
y. R. Engelstad, has been very an
fortunate lately. Last fall he was
taken sick with rheumatism and has
been confined to his bed all winter by
this disease. On top of this misfor-
tune his horses became infected with
glanders and few weeks ago ten
aine big animals had to be killed. The
less, OF the horses was serious one
to Mr.. Engelstad as they were valu-
able and represented years of hard
work on his part But when such
misfortunes come over a person, it is
fortunate indeed to have good, sym
padhizing neighbors. The neighbors
of Mr.. Engelstad in towns of Bristlet
and Farley subscribed money to help
him in his misfortune, Mr.. John B.
Nelson circulating the list A sum
OF $12775 was secured and this mon
ey was turned over to Mr.. Engelstad
last Sunday. II is needless to say
that this kind and neighborly act was
greatly appreciated by Mr.. Engelstad
and he desires thru the columns of
the Sheaf to thank Mr. Nelson and all
friends for their kind and generous
assistance.

Winning.

1t takes a little courage
And a little self control,
And some grim determination
If you want to reach a goai.
1t takes a deal of striving
And a firm and stern set chm,
No matter what the battle.
II you're really out to win.
There's no easy path to glory,
There's no rosy road to fame.
Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple parlor game;
But its prizes call for fighting,
For endurance and for grit,
For rugged disposition
And don 't-know-When-io-qI
You must take blow or give one.
You must risk and you must lose.
And expect that in the struggle
You will suffer from bruise.
But you mustn't vince or falter,
II q fight you once begin.
Be a man and face the battle
That's the only way to win.

Report from District No. 20 for Feb.
First Division We have been TAX
ing up a very thoro study of the
horse this month, and it is surprising
to see how much these little folks
know about horses and how interest
ed they are in the animals on the
farm. Next Monday we are planning
to start our scrap books and have
been collecting pictures for them.
The last topic we took up was the
study of the rabbit as to habits, ap-
pearances, the harm it does to fruit
trees and other trees, and its compar-
ison with other animals
Second and Third Division.
The second and third divisions have
been taking up the same work this
month. We have completed our pou1.
wrote essays and some of the fifth
grade pupils did fully as we'll as the
children in the higher grades. We
followed the outlines as we'll as we
could. though I put in some changes
which I thought would help the pu-
pills and make more plain the mean
ing. The essays caused a good deal
of extra work both for the pupils and
for myself, but I think we all learned
enough to more than repay us for our
trouble. Since, many of the pupils
studying poultry, have become much
more interested in their chickens,
and some of them are even planning
to raise poultry next summer.
I believe the outlines are becoming
better all the time and they certainly
are a great help to the rural school
teacher who is expected to teach agri-
culture.
