FARMERS PICNIC
GREAT SUCCESS
OVER 400 PEOPLE IN ATTEND.
ANCE AT RIVERSIDE PICNIC
SATURDAY

One Of the finest and most success
full picnics ever held in this vicinity
took place last Saturday at the Riv-
erside farm. It was a get-together
gathering, given under the auspices
of the Boxville Farmers Club and
having for its main purpose the
bringing together Of farmers and
business men. That it attained its
purpose was evinced by the spirit
that prevailed thruout the day. A
large number Of Warren people were
seen on the grounds almost all ths
business men were there, Lin ali, ls
was estimated that 400 people were
in attendance.
In the forenoon an excellent pro-
gram was given. Fred Peterson
gave a very hearty address Of vel
come which tended ia inspire the peo-
pie with the right spirit. w. F. Pow
ell gave an enthusiastic address in
which he emphasized the benefits OF
getting together in both business and
social affairs. DR.. j. S. Carlson,
field secretary for North Star Col
lege gave brief, witty talk which
served to enliven the occasion. Mu-
sic was furnished by the Warren City
Band, under the direction Of Chas. 3.
Grinder, and by the Warren Male
Quartet.
After the program all partook of d
picnic dinner, those who had not pro-
vided themselves with any lunch-bas-
ket were most sumptuously cared for.
In the afternoon program of va
rious athletic sports was carried out.
There were foot-races, the high jump,
the broad jump, etc. Numerous par
ticipants were in line for each con-
test, even some of. our Warrenites
put away their dignity for the time
and entered. A baseball game was
played by a team from Farley, and q
picked bunch from Warren which re-
suited in a victory for the former
team; the score was 4 to 2. .s'ls 30
This was the first picnic given by
the Boxville Club, but the success of
this event may inspire the members
to make it on annual attraction. The
organization is young, but it is q
live one, and truly it is live wire
in the community. Every communi-
ty ought to have an organization Of
the hnd-it has distinct value, both
as an educational medium and for
the purpose Of entertainment.

interest.
The last business was that of elect
ing Mr.. G. E. Sjostrand to represent
the County Sunday Schools at the
next State Convention to be held at

much appreciated solo, and thus end
ed the 1914 Marshall County Sunday
School convention.

It is impossible at this time to give
any detailed account of the results of
the primary election. Returns were
slow in coming in, last night and
those that did come struck no decisive
blow for anyone. On the county tic
ket the Office of Register of Deeds
and that of sheriff cali forth the
greatest interest. In the former,
Louis Olson and Chas. Grinder seem
both to be striving for first place; in
the latter, there are three high men,
Forsberg, Hanson and Kulle. David
johnson for superintendent Of schools
has no close competitor, unless the
eastern section Of the county should
cause the tables to turn. Eckstrom,
for county attorney, has a safe mar
gin over all other candidates for that
position. We publish below the re-
suits of the primary election in War

SEWER EXTENSION DELAYED.

The city council held meeting
Friday evening to consider letting
bids for the sewer extension. No
bids were let, however, and no detin-
ite action was taken, but was defer
red to some future meeting, as the
engineer had failed to present proper
plans and specifications. Last night
the Commercial club held meeting
at which the council was advised to
let out bids for the sewer extension
at once, as soon as the engineer pre-
sents his plans, so that the work may
be completed before fall.

were at FIRST small watery blisters, just
small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to Itch and burn very
much .-t
I'VE used a number Of remedies
which seemed TO give relief for a short

Necessary Hours Of slssn.


John Wesley, the founder of Meth

on horseback, says, in some curious
remarks which he has left upon sleep,
that no one measure will do for all,
nor will the same amount OF sleep
even suffice for the same person at
all times. More sleep is necessary
when the strength and spirits are ex-
hausted by illness, hard labor or Sc

Eat less meat, more fruit, and pay

Of the fruit agent to give him an
order for trees to be delivered next

ground for the trees.
Order a few choice varieties OF
peach from some reliable nursery to
be delivered next spring.
Spring is the best time for setting

pare the soil which will become set

First Life Insurance,

None OF you, suppose, when you
sign the new Chronicle insurance
coupon, think of William Gibbons,
though you certainly ought to. For
William, who deserves to be better
known. was the first man to insure his
life. This policy was made in June,
1888. and was for the sum Of e3S3 IS
Sd, for ~ months, 16 underwriters
dividing the risk. And this first pol
icy also produced the first insurance
law case, for when William died, in
the following May, the underwriters
attempted to maintain that IL months
meant IL periods of rs days, and had
to be taken into court before they
would pay up.--London Chronicle.

Plant standard apples forty feet

filters between them; when the filler
trees are full grown they will have
room and will not crowd the stand

Spray all fruit trees while dormant,
with lime, sulphur and salt, as a pre-

will help to keep the trees healthy.
