Church Conditions In
Our City Improving

Rev. d. d. Mitchell has done
SO much in the upbuilding Of our
city that we wish to make pub
lie a little Of his past life and
the good that he has done in this
community.
David d. Mitchell was born at
Adrian, Mimi, in 1847 and
spent his early life on a farm.
Before he was twenty years old
he entered the Adrian college
but his courle was not continucu
there on account of lack cf funds
In 1873 he graduated from the
theological department of the
Hillsdale college at Hillsdale,
Mich. That same year he was
married to Miss Salla Woods and
went to Money Lreek, Minn.,
where he began his duties as a
pastor. During his five years
stay in that community he or
ganized church at Huston, a
town five miles away, and had
charge Of both churches.
From Money creek we went to
Central City, Iowa where he re-
mained carrying on his good
work for nine ysars. During
this time he erected a church
building at Wanbe elk, small
town six miles away. He held
other paslc1ates at Olewein, In
dependence and Ba'yantsbng. La
Madela, Mimi, and at Worches-
ter, Mass.
In 1905 Mr.. Mitchell decided to
take rest from his arduous dut-
les and settled on homestead
In Mercer county. Ee remained
there only one year when he
was again call< d into ministerial
work. He supplied local church
es until January 1909 when he
came to Washburn and took
charge of the Congregational
church, but he did not become a
p. rmanent resident here until
in December 1910. He has often
filled outside pulpits while his
wife carried on his work here.
During Mr.. Mitchell 3 stay
here he has organized a Sunday
school with a membership Of
over hundred, the Christian En-
deavcr society, although in its
infancy is well organized and
holds interesting meetings.
Twenty-six members have been
received in the church during the
hast three years. The congrega-
tion has steadily increased and

has the contract for furnishing

COUNTRY BOYS
WILL MAKE MONEY

As an inducement to the agri-
culturists of the county to raise
more hogs, one Of the banks Of
Minot has offered to loan every
farmer boy between the ages Of
Il and 20 yers, registered pure
bred SOW, farrow in April or May,
the hogs from which are to be
entered in a pork production con-
test under the auspices Of the
Better Farming association. The
sows are to be returned Dec. l
and the pigs belong to the boy
who raises them, besides the
prizes he may win. 1t is expected
that this proposition will be a
very popular one along the Mouse
River loop and large number
of farmer boys will avail them
selves Of the opportunity to show
class in hog raising.

GOOD CANDIDATE
FOR LIEU. GOVERNOR

Last week we published the
platform of II. j. Bessesen of
Harvey who is a candidate for
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Besse-
sen is already well known I'M
this state but for the benefit of
the new corners we will publish a
little of his past history.
Henry j. Bessesen has spent
l3 years as an attorney at
Harvey. He served as states
attorney of Wells coun4
ty for two terms, and in
1908 he was elected state sena-
tor and served four years. In
1912 he was a candidate for
congress but was defeated by
small vote. His many friends
have been urging him to consent
to run for lieutenant governor
and he has at last entered the
race.
Daring the session of 1911 Mr.:
Besse sen was the chairman Of
the committee of elections, and
was the author Of the following
important measures, which pas!
sed:
1. A proposed amendment to.
the constitution providing for the
initiative and referendum. 2. A
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the re-
call. 3. The presidential primary
act, authorizing cities to regulate,
the rates of public service corpo-
rations. S the uniform desertion
act. 6. The initiative, referen-
dunn and recall for cities under
the commission form of govern
ment,. as well as several other
important laws. He also intro
duced strong anti-pass railway
bdn, and in order to secure the
passage Of such a bill worked for
a similar committee bill which
has been a law ever since. He
has always been bitter foe to
boss!sm and political corruption.

Statistics Show Up
Mclean County
Figures Given Below were Gath
cred From Assessors Books
and are Correct

There are many who do not
know what good county Nc
Lean has become and we quote
a few figures for you to remem-
ber SO you can spread the good
news along.
Mclean county has 514,533
acres of land, 1885, ,126 of which are
under cultivation. There are As
grain elevators in this county
with capacity of over 1885,
900 bushels, and still you often
hear Of elevator blockades.
This county is also pretty well
off az to stock. 1t has IL, ,9O6
horses, 76 mules, 1880 cattle
and $3.50 hogs. These statist-
les are taken from the assessor s
lists and none under one year is
named. We consider that when
we can claim $3.50 hogs over one
year old there are at least twice
as many young pigs, this would
make a total of 10000.
The crop of 1913 was not con-
sidered a very good one but the
yield per bushel was as follows:
Winter wheat 1925 bu.; Durum
wheat 22.19 bu.; spring wheat
14.70 bu.; flax 8 bu.; oats 38.06
bu.; barley 26.41 bu.; Hurless
barley 32.O8 bu.; winter rye 49,
80 bu.; spring rye 1864. bu.;
speltz 3O.76 bu.; potatoes 1O3.-
IS bu and corn 1916 bushels per
acre.
Better crops are anticipated
for this year and the average
will be increased. You will notice
that we put the average potato
yield low while many raised 300
bushels on an acre. Other ave-
RACES may seem low bait We aim
to give true report SO outsid-
ers can see what can be done in
this county even when condi-
tions are not the best.

In last weeks issue appeared
for the first time the announce

subject to the will of the Repmbl
lican voters at the June pri-

very little recommendation to the
voters Of Mclean county after,
his two years service as county
auditor. His friends are legion
and his enemies, if he has any,
so far have failed to pick sin
gle flaw with him during his
present term. We consider Mr.,
Stocker as immovable as any

there is very little if any possiI

says he is making an honest cam

THINK IMMIGRANTS
SHOULD BE STOPPED

Rev. Robert Bagnell, a prOml-
nent divine, has attacked the
immigrants from Italy and Rus
sia. "Most of them,'' he says
"are without any religion or re-
spect for God" He. hopes for
some kind of immigration sieve
that will keep them out.
Congressman Kent of Califor-
MIA. takes the same view. He
recently said to congress: "We
can either act as a lighthouse or
as a dumping ground. It is nee
essary that we carefully select
our citizenship"
Last year l,197,892 came to
these shores. Those who were
excluded numbered 1898. Italy
sent 265,O and Russia .29l,0OO.

the immigration question. Both
are right and both are wrong.

where between.

such an extent as may be necessary to

senators and representatives who
packed the hall Of the House.
This government can, earnestly
hope, in no circumstances be forced
into war with the people of Mexico.

of congress are asked accordingly.

Unfortunately the incident was not
an isolated case. 4 series of incidents
have recently occurred which cannot
but create the impression that the

willing to go out of their way to show
disregard for the dignity and rights Of
this government. and felt perfectly
safe in doing what they pleased, max

irritation and contempt.

PROBABLE PLAN OF ACTION

Congress met in joint session at 3
o'clock this afternoon to hear Presi-
dent Wilson's message on the Mexican
situation, arising out Of Ruerta's final
refusal to salute the American flag,
and take action authorizing the presi-
dent to use the army and navy to up
hold the dignity of the United States.
The probable line OF action by tn s
government will be:
Seizure of the ports of Tampico and
Vera Cruz.
Seizure of Mexican gunboats in
those waters.
Seizure OF the railroad from Vera
Cruz TO the Mexican capital, to a point
within twenty miles Of Vera Cruz.
