cars of immigrants last month, but
Minnesota led every state in the group

MELROSE.
From the Beacon

1t is with regret that we chronicle
the passing of another Stearns county
pioneer, Mrs. John Rothe, whose death
occurred last Saturday morning at the
family home north east of town. Mrs.
Rothe came here with her husband
some forty odd years ago and settled
back in the woods in the vicinity of
Big Birch Lake. There this thrifty
couple started clearing and begun
their home on what was to become in
later years one of the most productive
farms in the vicinity. Throughout all
the years of pioneer life Mrs. Rothe
was ever a willing worker and be-
sides found time for those neighborly
little deeds that count a lot when
neighbors are few and far between
Since the time of her husbands death
II years ago, Mrs. Rothe and her
son Peter have lived on the home
place. Pesides the son the deceased
had three daughters, Mrs. Jack Nc
Kenny, Mrs. John Ritter and Mrs.
Allie Cole, who reside near their
mothers home. The immediate cause
of Mrs. Rothe's death was bronchial
pneumonia. Had she lived until the
10th of DAY she would have been 83
years old. Funeral services were held
from st. Boniface church Monday
morning, Rev. Msgr. Richter officiat-
ing.

Of Norway and Sweden. Bunches Of
oats are placed on the roofs of houses
on trees and fences. for them to feed
upon. Every poor man and every head

buy bunch of oats for the birds to
have their Christmas. 1t Is beautiful
custom and one that might well be
adopted in other countries.

COOPERATION.

Now is the time for farmers, mer-
chants and bankers to cooperate to-
gether for the good of all. The
farmer, who owes money on his crop,
should see the bank or merchant, or
fertilizer company, as the case may
be, and talk matters over, especially
to see if arrangements can be made
to hold cotton for higher price. The
creditors may be ever so willing to
indulge the debtor, but he is doubt
less owing money also and has to
be in a position to make terms with
the man higher up. The first step
is to place the cotton in warehouse
and hold for higher prices. If the
cotton is under mortgage or lien,
the warehouse receipt should be
surrendered to the mortgage or
lienee, who can doubtless use the
cotton as a basis of extended credit,
which at the same time puts him in
a position to indulge the man who
owes him.
So the first thing to do Is tn get
lnS COIlOH III ISSu Suiai Dohh'N N"'S-
house. Then if you are out OF debt,
hold the cotton as long as you please.
If in debt, get the creditor to i0ia
with you in holding until such a time
as it is mutually agreeable to sell.
AS much cotton as is possible should
be kept off the market and the way
to keep it off is for those interested
to cooperate to that end.

CUT COTTON ACREAGE.

The Lancaster County Cotton Con-
gress had a good meeting in the court
house Saturday. The reports from
the different parts of the county were
encouraging. The various school
districts will be rapidly organized
and local speakers invited to address
the organizations. The one senti-
ment pervading the meeting Satnr-
day was that the acreage in cotton
next year should be cut. The only
difference in sentiment was as 20 the
per cent of reduction. Some favor
ed the cutting out of cotton entire
ly, but the one-half reduction idea
prevailed and resolutions to that ei-
feet were passed. Pledge blanks
will be distributed among the grow
ers of the county. binding them to
reduce their acreage at least one
half that of the present year.
The congress went on recC I'd as

or state compelling the reduction

that the reduction can only be
brought about by compulsion. But
