Industrial Contest at Stephen.

Last SATURDAY county 1uperfii-
tendent David Johnson and Assistant
superintendent Elizabeth Rankin
were at Stephen conducting the IN
dustrial contest at that place. These
contests have been eminently success
full ever since they were instituted
and this one compared quite favor
ably with those of last year. Ii In
terest seemed slack in some depart
ments. it had been increased in 9th
ers. The culinary department fell
far short of last year, so also other
classes. The greatest interest was
shown in the corn contest. MI.
Johnson said it was one OF the best
contests of that nature that he has
had the pleasure to witness. The
Stephen schools made big showing
and displayed some excellent work.
The contest was held rather early
in the season to allow the country
districts to prepare any extensive ex-
hibits, as many of the schools have
lust opened their doors and few
have not commenced yet, further
more. the farmers have been rather
busy of late to allow any co-opera-
tion. The next contest will be held
at Middle River, October 10 and an
other following that, at Germantown
the 17th of October.

President Woodrow Wilson, by

Oct. 4, national day of prayer for
peace in Europe and called upon all
God-fear.ing persons to gather IN

Whereas, Great nations of the
world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws mil
lions of men into battle whom the
counsel of statesmen have not been
able To save from the terrible sacri-
flee and.
"Whereas. In this as in all things
it IS our privilege and duty to seek
counsel, and succor of Almighty God,
humbling ourselves before him, con-
Tossing our weakness and our lack of
any wisdom equal to these things;
and,
Whereas, 1t is the especial wish
and longing of the people of the
United States, In prayer and counsel
and all friendliness, to serve the
cause of peace,
therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson
president of the United States OF
America, do designate Sunday, the

State Forests Day" Proclamation.
Whereas the last Legislature pass
ed a measure known as "Na. 9, the
State Forests Amendment provid-
ing that such state lands as are bet
ter fitted for growing forests than
for farming be set aside and be man
aged by the state as State Forests;
and,
Whereas Amendment No. 8 is to be
submitted to popular vote November
Srd, it is worthy of careful consider
alton by everyone interested IN the
public welfare; and.
Whereas this measure will affect
particularly the public school fund, 1t
is deemed fitting and proper that the
subject of "State Forests receive
particular consideration in our public
schools.
Therefore, Wednesday, October 2S,
1914, is designated as Estate Forests
Day" to be observed in every public
school with appropriate, exercises
and discussions upon the subject OF
State Forests in their relation to the
public well-being.

Dear Sir
Your favor of the 18th is at hand
and noted. You say, Kindly give
me what you know of the record of
Senator Sundberg who, has repre-
sented this district for twelve years"
I am surprised that a question of
that character should come from any
man III your district.
Senator Sundberg's record as
have watched it has been am "open
book 1t is my Judgment that he
has been on the side of the people
and for the best interests of the state
in every issue and he has never kept
his light under bushei
There may be other men Just as
able as he in public life and more
brilliant, but no one, who is more
fearless in his advocacy of what he
believes TO be right.
Politically, the senator opposed me
in the past, hut I should regard my.
self as poor citizen if did not
cheerfnlly testify to his honesty o.
purpose and great service to the peo
pie Of the state.
Yours truly,

arousing intense interest among the
farm bows. The exhibits at the Mar
shall county fair at Warren in this
contest were revelation. The boys
took deep interest and i'll many In
stances out-stripped their respective
dads in raising corn.
seThis means great things for the
future, as the boys who are only corn
raisers now, will be expert corn
growers by the time they are young
men, and start farming for them
selves. They are getting valuable
nractice in seed corn selection, IN
preparing the ground, cultivation,
varieties, etc.

Sapplementing the action taken

We Of America are especially fortu-
nate at this time that we have been
kept free from entangling alliances
which might result in international
complications. But while peace and
prosperity reign in this country our
interest in humanity and our recog-
nition of the brotherhood of man the
world over must cause an over
whelming sense of sympathy for the
people of Europe and other parts OF
the world who are not so fortunate.

additional news concerning the hor-
ror incident to the conflict of armed
men across the water. The tragedy
of these events goes further than the
enumeration of men shot down by
their fellow men. Back of the list
OF fatalities is the story of stricken
