An Old Relic.

Mrs. Curl Weikle of Bandon town
ship will contribute an old relic which
will be on display at the Norwegian
Centennial Celebration to be held
midway between Minneapolis and St.
Paul on May 18th, this year, says the
Fairfax Standard.
The article is q pillow which came
in her possession many years ago
and it bears the name of "EIans JAG
OLSON Tande-Karen Sefversdaater,
Anna, together: with the date, 1914
30-Aprfl." From this we learn that
the pillow is over 230 years old, and
the custom in Norway at that time
was that newly married couples were
presented with tokens of this kind
and at the wedding the bride was to
sit on the pillow.
The following scripture reading In
Norwegian is also on the pillow: Ger
Gud for os hvo kan da vari mod Of"
meaning, IF God is for u.s. who then
can be against U.S." Although the
pillow is 230 years old it is still in
good shape; it is highly priced by the
owner. Mrs. Weikle is a pioneer
resident Of this section.

Will Publish Monthly.

1.-THE West Central Community is
the suggestive name of the monthly
paper to be published by the West Gen.
trail Minnesota Development Associa-
ton. The first issue will be ready for
mailing about June list and it is ex-
pected that all of the people interested
in better conditions for this section will
become subscribers.
The Association paper is the result on
the part of the officers to let all Of the
people in the section, as well as people
outside Of it, know more of the aims
and results of the West Central Min
nesota betterment movement. AS the
name implies it will be primarily for
the community made up Of the fifteen
counties affiliated with the Association.
Those in charge of it say that it will
be an exchange Of ideas, methods, and
progress among every one doing any,
thing worth while in the section.
Each issue will contain county
agents exchange from which each man
will be able to learn all about what his
fellow workers are doing. There will
also be timely articles on agricultural
subjects by the best authorities, and
various departments edited by men and
women who are leaders in their lines.
Each stockholder in the West Central
Minnesota Development Association is
entitled to one years subscription to
the new publication. The price of stock
has been reduced to $1.00 per share and
since this small amount Of money
makes each person subscriber and
gives him all the benefits Of member
ship In the progressive organization,
the directors feel confident that the list
Of stockholders will increase several
thousand within the next few months.
To realize this hope, Secretary M. r.
Harrison announces that the Associa-
ton will inaugurate a membership con-
test. They will offer liberal cash prizes
for the two persons sending in the larg-
est number of subscriptions. Anyone
living in West Central Minnesota is
eligible to compete. An advertisement
of this contest will be found on anoth-
er page Of this issue. Anyone desiring
further information should write to the
Secretary at Morris, MINI.

TRAGEDY AT HAYWARD
Four-year-o1d Boy Falls Into Water and
browns in aia,It of 8isfarn

browns in Sight Of Sisters.
Wallace. the four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Victor Ramberg was drowned
in the creek south of town last Friday
afternoon, some time between four and
five o'clock.
He had gone with his sisters, Mil
dred, eight years old, and the baby, to
pick flowers near the cemetery, which
is close by the creek, when he was at
tracted by the noise Of several boys
who were fishing, lads seven or eight
years old, and left his sisters to join
the group. Mildred took the baby in
her arms and went after him, arriving
just as Wallace fell into the water.
The little body at once started to float
downstream and Mildred put down the
baby and ran along to rescue the boy,
when looking back she noticed that the
baby had begun to toddle toward the
creek and she had to go back to carry
her to a safe place, thus she lost sight
Of Wallace. The other children were
so frightened that it is impossible to
tell what they did. The water was too
deep for them to have had any chance
of saving the boy had they ventured in.
Some of the boys came to town, nearly
a mile and spread the alarm, and teams
and autoes hurried to the spot and the
search begun for the body. The search
continued for some time before the
body was found, about a half mile down
the creek from where the accident &C.

A New Kind of Real Estate ADVERTISE
ment,

1t is not very many years since we'll
the first attempt to apply the Singletax
would be met by the farmers with guns
in their hands. But so far is this from
being true that many rural commun-
tiles have applied a modified form of
the Singletax and it has proven itself
so popular among farmers that it is
now being advertised as a means of
attracting settlers. The Oakdale and
the Modesto Irrigation districts of Cali
fornia are sending out printed matter
boasting Of the fact that the irrigation
tax falls upon the land only, and urg-
ing people who are seeking homes to
settle there because they do not "tax
houses, barns, cattle personal property
or improvements or crops on the land
for irrigation purposes" Nor is this
statement issued by some rascally NAL
content who, too lazy to acquire prop
erty of his own, seeks by this means
to enrich himself by taking from those
who are more Industrious and frugal;
but on the contrary it is signed by the
president and the trustees Of the city
Of Oakdale, by the president and the
directors of the Oakdale Irrigation Dis
trict, and by the officers Of the various
public bodies including bankers and
editors. No hint is given Of danger
from irate land owners. Rather do they
boast of the contentment Of those al
ready there, and urge their system Of
taxation as a reason why others should
come.
This illustrates anew the peculiar
merit that lies in the practicability Of
the Singletax. Not only is it absolute
1y just but it is ideally workable If
the government were to pass a law con-
fscating all the land now in private
hands there doubtless would be armed
resistance. But If personal property
be exempted from taxes, who is going
to take up arms to resist? If homes
be exempted, or factories, or any other
improvements, at what point will the
land owner meet the tax collector with
a gun? Clearly at no point. Each step
will commend itself and give assurance
Of the wisdom Of the next step, up to
the disappearance Of the last vestige
