SEED CORN WEEK A GREAT
SUCCESS.

Seed corn week has been success.
It is safe to say that 100000 bushels
of seed corn were selected in the
week from September IA to 10 and
stored for planting next year. This
means increasing prosperity to Mimi
esota's crop-growers and to Mime
sota's crop consumers.
The success of seed corn week was
brought about by various agencies.
Credit must first be given the crop
growers themselves, or to those of
them who saw the wisdom of the
Seed Corn Week plan and selected
their seed corn according to that
plan. Next it goes to the press of
the state-to the daily and the week
ly newspapers and to the agricultur-
al journals. These great agencies
spread the gospel of good seed corn
far and wide.
But consider the list of other
agencies that helped to see that no
one was allowed to forget the week:
The governor with a proclamation,
nearly a score and a: half of live
county agents, close to $50 high
school agriculturists, county super
intendents of schools, school teachers
by the thousand. farmers clubs by
the hundreds, the State Bankers
association membership, the whole
sale merchants of the cities with
cards sent out in letters to their pat
rons, commercial clubs all over the
state, progressive churches and
Sunday school men, telephone comp
anies calling up their farmer patrons
and reminding them of the signifi-
canoe of the week. railroads and
business men everywhere, and, as a
matter of course, the Minnesota Col
lege of Agriculture.
All this was superb team work. :"
It was the kind of pulling together"
that gives a state a star place on the
big maps. To see such campaign
carried through to actual success, to
the actual and complete achievement
of the end sought, by the voluntary
cooperation of such agencies is to be
filled with pride for Minnesota.
To all of the Agencies that par
ticipated, the College of Agriculture
extends congratulations and thanks.

Mrs. Mary C.. Litchfield.

Mrs. Mary Calista Litchfeld (nee
Orcutt) was born in the neighboring
town of Burke, April Is, 1880. When
only IL years old she moved with her
parents to Potion, Canada, where her
father. John Orcutt, took up a tract
OF land. clearing the spot on which he
subsequently built his new home.
Mrs. Litchfeld was one of family in
which there were eleven children. of
whom only three, two brothers and a
sister, survive. At the age of 16, she
went to Manchester, N. H., where
an older sister was, and there worked
for while in one of the cotton mills
In 1859 she was married to Chas.
Litchfeld and shortly after moved with
him to Canada, where they lived many
years. Three children were born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Litchfield. two sons and a
daughter. The two sons died in their
youth, Manfred at the age of thirteen
and Guy at the age of ten years. The
daughter. Mrs. A. G. Harris, lives in
Orleans. In 1882 Mr.. and Mrs. Itch
field moved to Newport Center and
mere they lived until little over seven
years ago when on account of failing
health they gave up their home and
came to Orleans to live with their
daughter. Mrs. Harris. Mr.. Litchfield
died but few days after coming to
orleans, but Mrs. Litchfield continued
with US until on Sept. ID. after some
few weeks of ailments incident to
age. her sturdy spirit was released
from the physical frame in which it
had dwelt so long and she went to be
forever with the loved ones who had
gone on before. Mrs. Litckfield was
much beloved and made hosts of
friends in every place in which she
lived. She Joined the Universalist
church at the age of q and all the
years since has maintained a thorough
ly consistent life. She was a loving
Christian character, very upright in
all her relations and dealings, full of
energy and resolution and will be much
missed not only by the home circle but
the larger company. who knew her
and loved her. The funeral was held
on the afternoon of Sept. 16. conducted
by Rev. E. w. Eldridge of the Con-
gregational church which Mrs. Itch
field attended for the past few years.
The profusion of beautiful flowers and
the large number of people present
gives evidence of the large place Mrs.
Litchfeld had in the hearts of the COM
munity and their sympathy for the
sorrowing ones. Interment was in the
family lot at Pleasant View cemetery.
A Card-For the many acts of kind.
ness and sympathy, for the beautiful
flowers, and for all assistance rendered
by our neighbors and friends during
the illness of our beloved mother and
sister, we express our deepest graft.

JAPANESE SCANDAL INQUIRY.
Minister of Marine to Investigate
Bribery Charges In Berlin.

TOXIC, Feb. THE alleged corruption
n the japanese navy supposed 70 have
been revealed by the trial OF tNNo &c rmars,
employed by the Siemens munitions firm
IN Germany. who were found guilty of
entering into money deals with japanese
navy officers has caused tremendous ex-
element here.
Many meetings OF protest have been
held. Not single charge made against
the Navy Department by the opposition
has been substantiated. but many accusa-
tons have been made both inside and out
side the Diet against ministers, admirals
and other Government officials
Hermann the Toxic manager Of the
Siemens firm. was arrested to-day. II is
believed that the charge OF bribery is
made against him. Although the agita-
ton has taken on n serious phase moth
ing which has been divulged so far justi-
fes the furore. which Is based wholly on
suspicion.
Baron Saito. the Minister OF Marine,
said to-day that the inquiry is progressing
and that no one will be spared. lie added
that he was confident OF tho integrity of
the navy. The clamor is apparently based
on the popular demand for the reduc-
ton Of the naval estimates and taxa.

will have the desired effect.
