PER MONTH AND CUSTODY
OF CHILD

Judge Parsons of Fergus Falls has

Lutte divorce from the defendant; that
as permanent alimony she should be
paid the total sum of $500, this amount
to be made in two payments Of $500

MUST DRAG THE ROADS

Pierz Journal: Every town board
should provide road drags or road
planers for use on the roads this year.
There will be fund in each town for
road dragging purposes, and that fund
cannot be used for any other purpose
than providing drags and dragging
roads. The law provides that: "The
town board in each town, on recon-
mendation Of the town overseer, shall
enter into contracts for the dragging
of the roads Of the town, giving
preference to the main travelled roads
constituting mail routes.'' There is
no cheaper or better way of keeping
roads in good condition, especially clay
roads, than by the systematic use OF
road drags. Supervisors and road
overseers should remember that the
provision of the law with reference to
the dragging will be strictly enforced.

the younger generation who would be
willing, if such were possible, to
build a home under these conditionsr
When the family came from their
Ohio home it consisted Of MI. and
Mrs. Campbell and two little daugn.
ters-who are now Mrs. Bowman and
Mrs. johnson. All of the other cllil-
dren, Sam, Dan, Jr., Ed. and Mrs. r.
M. Hamlin, were born and raised on
the old homestead in Culdrum, which
has now passed from the hands of the
family to others. But, which will
never pass from the memory of any of
them. The old associations are too
great. The trials and tribulations of
early days; the lack of all that con-
duces to present-day conditions of liv-
ing, the day-dream pictures of the
scenes of childhood.
What changes have taken place in
the forty eight years that have passed
since Dam Campbell settled on the
homestead in Culdrum. The old log
buildings, the tiny clearing, the OK
team and the lack Of Injuries are but
a memory. In their place have come
plenty and comfort; horses and mod
ern machinery now till the broad acres;
a modern farm home takes the place
Of the log cabin, big, red barns house
the products Of the field and house the
stock; the railroad has come, bringing
markets to his door, the telephone is
at his elbow, bringing in immediate
touch with hundred neighbors;
churches and schools are in close
proximity; daily mail is delivered at
his door and if occasion requires, an
automobile will take him to Little
Falls within an hour.
Is it wonder, then, that an &C.
casional day-dream, amidst comfort,
should bring back vivid memories Of
olden times.

P11LAaER HAS HEAVY FIRE LOSS

Pillager, Mimi, April 1.-THE en-
tire main business section of Pilla-
ger, II miles west Of Brainerd, was
destroyed by fire at 2 o'clock this
morning.
The E. D. Bacon department store,
four buildings and their entire stock
of hardware, groceries, farm imPle'
ments, undertaking, dry goods, etc.,
were destroyed, the loss being over
$4,000. The Woodmen hall was on
a second floor of one Of the buildings.
The saloon Of William Coe was also
total loss of about $4,000.
The residence of E. D. Bacon near
the store was saved.
Ed. Romberg, manager of the store,
saw the blaze at about two O'Clock In
the morning. At that time the saloon,
in which the fire is believed to have
started, was entirely consumed.
Romberg ran to the store to save
the cash register and books, but be-
fore he could enter the building the
roof crashed in.
The Pillager postoffice was located
in the Bacon store, Mr.. Bacon being
postmaster, and the books, records
and mail were all consumed.
This business section of Pillager was
On the Main street, running south OF
and parallel to the Northern Pacltlc
railway tracks.
The cement block building of the
First State bank Of Pillager was dam.
aged by the fire. The intense heat
caused the outer shell Of cement to
fall from the east wall, exposing the
air space between the blocks. The
roof Of the bank was badly scorched.
The interior of the building was not
damaged.

In the opinion of the management
six months at the farm is necessary
for complete recovery, though in some
cases longer time is desirable. This
is especially so in the case of those
afflicted with the drug habit.
Statistics Interesting
To those with taste for resea rch
the Willmar institution is interest
ing. All kinds of statistics are CON-
piledby those in charge and they cover
every phase Of the work assigned the
hospital. For instance, the figures
show that Ramsey county contributed
81 of the patients 50 far, of whom
II were females, and Hennepin coun-
ty, So, of whom 9 were females. AS
to occupations, the largest number of
those confined were classified as la
borers, numbering so. In order came
farmers, 81; clerks, IA; and painters,
II. Only 4 bar keepers and 2 saloon
keepers were listed. On the women's
side of the house "a housewives were
registered. Next to Minnesota with
80 patients, Iowa came in point Of
nativity. 1t was credited with IL
patients. Norway was credited with
16 patients and Germany 10.
In social condition the married pa
tients numbered 112, single SO, wild
owed Ia, separated 3, and divorced
Is. Of the female patients Fl were
married. All acknowledged to good.
education. No less than IA had at
tended the university. The majority
of the patients of those registered
admitted that they had formed the
liquor habit when under 20 years of
age. Associates were held to be re-
sponsible for their condition by 16O
of the patients. The steady drink
ers numbered 100 and the periodical
drinkers rs.
Most of the patients were in fair
condition. Contrary to the claims of
some who contend that iasobriety is
hereditary 104 of the patients fur
nished records to show that their par
ents were abstemious. The same was
the case with IA of the women pa
tients. In the use of tobacco 103
men and nine women admitted being
addicted to the habit. One woman
was admitted who both smoked and
chewed tobacco.
Since the institution was opened i'm
provements and additions have been
going on steadily under the direction
of the state board of control. Much
of the improvements has to do with
the farm and the industrial plant
These two furnish employment for
the patients ard go far towards re-
ducing the expense of maintenance.
Under the new order sf things all
patients able to do so are required
to work six hours a day and this is
supplemented by small tasks which
employ their time and minds. There
is library and recreation room.

Here's Something Doing.

Some people ponder. "What's in a
Name" Some say nothing. Others
say there Is much. Now, this new
firm of Watts and Rogers. in the hard.
ware business at Weston, are 10 di
lemma of having "Watts" in the
name. and people might say it surely
means Nothing In this case.
Rather an unpleasant situation to have
such a questionable factor on hand
that you can't get rid Of and worse
than that-nobody wants.
We now offer a solution of the
problem. and ask the kids Of all this
territory for radius Of 15 miles
around Weston to help do the job.
Any child from the age of "the
first smile," to the time of ''long
dresses and pants," up to IA years. is
eligitle and we ask and want their
hearty support. 1t Is as follows, viz:
Every child as specified above. may
send or bring to the Watts d Rogers
Hardware store name and for that
name this child will be given free
ticket that will admit that child to
any moving picture show that is Civ
en- by Mr.. Rswla Miller Of Athena,
either In Weston or Athena.
Later on, these names will be con-
sidered by a citizens committee of
eight or ten people and all the names
chosen by this committee, each teing
limited to one choice and each to act
individually. will entitle those who
suggested the same, second prize.
and thus will we proceed TO the end.
Details will be announced In the Wes.
ton Leader as we proceed. Allow us
to suggest something of the style OF
name we think we would like. Fol
example:
| Anoka-signifying an o. K. place.
| Utopia--a place of ideal conditions.
Eurek al have found it.
Skookum Hardware Co.
| The o. K. Hardware. etc.. etc.
| Perhaps the names Watts and
Rogers can be blended into one. A
monogram of sufficient significano'
might be used. We reserve the righ
to refuse any name Objectionable AM
may readvertise. Time will be lin
tied by later announcement. So 20
busy. Watts and Rogers.
