Hubert H. Peavey, a Corner Red
wood Falls boy and now a resident
of Washburn. Wis. has announced his
candidacy for the lieutenant COVER
norship of Wisconsin, and is making
an active campaign with a big pros
pect of ultimate success. Mr.. Peavey

reputation for himself as a young
man who is bound to make a positive
political record for himself and one
who has the full confidence of his
constituency.
Mr.. Peavey hes been much inter-

one of his speeches made in his Of

the matter.

Missionary Meeting
An Interesting One
Ladies of Presbyterian Church Meet
at The Home of Mrs. Ashford To
Discuss Mission Problems.
(Contributed.)

The Missionary Society of the Pres
byterian Church held a profitable and
interesting meeting at the home Of
Mrs. Ashford Wednesday afternoon,
August 10, Mrs. Goudy, the President,
called the meeting to order prompt
ly at threeo'clock.
The devotionals were led by Mrs.
Colville and the scripture readings
were ably selected with a view to
show the Christians necessary equip
ment for service. Miss Elizabeth Smith
read a very interesting letter from
a missionary in India who was work
ing at the present time near the
mountain Jungle, where tigers and
leopards are as numerous as rabbits
IN our ordinary woods In a few brief
statistics the writer showed the prog
ress of the work in India. The Bible
women in her district are now teach
ing the Bible to over one thousand
women. One of the best things ex-
perienced by the missionaries is the
tearing down Of the idols by the peo-
pie as they receive the light of the
Gospel.
A report of the International Con-
vention Of the Student Volunteers was
given by Miss Holden, student at
Park College, VINO is visiting at the
A. D. Smith home. This convention
was held in Kansas City, Mo-, last
winter over five thousand delegates
were in attendance from different
countries, including Canada, the Uni
ted States, Japan and China.
DR.. John r. Mott, the greatest
leader in the mission field was chair
man of the convention. In his open
ing address he gave the keynote of
the convention in these words, The
present world situation is absolute
" unprecedented in opportunity, In
danger and in urgency" The dele
gates were given a broader vision of
the need Of the world and the mar
veIous way in which Christ and Christ
alone can meet that need The vices
Of civilization are pouring into the
newly opened nations with far great
er rapidity than Christianity is being
carried to them ana it is up to the
christian world to unite in unparral-
led efforts to save them.
Mrs. Christensen gave the lesson
in bright. interesting way, inter-
spersed with many good suggestions
as to better ways of carrying on our
work of missions.
The last number on the program
was reading by Miss Maude Colville
on The Sign of The Cross" This
was exceptionally well given, show
ing much talent in this direction.
A dainty luncheon was served at
the close of the meeting.

F. A. Japs Says
Mahnomen Is
Hard to Beat

F. A. Japs returned last week from
his third trip into the wilds Of north
western Minnesota, and is even more
enthusiastic about the future of that
country than he was upon the return
from his first trip, made several years
ago. Franks enthusiasm led him to
say, II wish | had ten thousand dol
lars to invest. I'd plant it in that
country up there and watch it grow
1t has the same chance for growing
that money planted in Redwood Coun-
ty in land at twenty-five and thirty
dollars per acre several years ago,
has grown to ninety ard hundred
dollars now. The country is every
bit as good as this, and | know, be-
cause I've driven through it by sew
eral different routes and at al times
Of the year" Mr.. Japs purchased a
quarter section, and rather regrets
that it isn't an entire section, if his
mental attitude is to be judged from
his words. -~~,-
Fred Warner of North Redwood
was also a purchaser of Mahnomen
County land last week, making the
trip at about the same time and to
the same locality as Mr.. Japs. Both
purchased through the agency of
Messrs. Farrell, Keafe and Arnett of
tie Mahnomen Land Company. who
are constantly taking Iand-seekers in
to Norman and Mahnomen counties.
These dealers have sold 1,4OO acres
of northwestern Minnesota land to
purchasers from Redwood and Rem
vile County within the past month,
and make trips with land hunters ev-
cry week.

Canning Factory
Hard at Work
One Thousand Cans of Tomatoes |
One Days Output; Scarcity of
Help Great Drawback
CARLOAD GOODS FOR ST. PAUL
Pumpkins and Ground Cherries TX
Be Cared For In The Next
Few Weeks

A visit to the Scenic City Canning
Factory during the present busy sea
son, is full Of interest and a revela-
ton to the visitor if he has never
seen canning done by wholesale meth
DDS. The tomato and bean season are
now at their height and the factory
is bee hive of energy. The utter
impossibility of securing enough help
and efficient help has been a serious
handicap, and one that the manage
ment seems likely to have to combat
during the entire season.
Wien the factory is working with
a full force the output is about / 900
quart cans of tomatoes per day. These
are canned under absolutely sanitary
methods, being washed twice and ster-
ilized in boiling water before putting
into cans. The cans are packed, 100
quarts or 100 pints at time in a
huge wire rack, which is then lifted
by pulley into the tank, where they
are kept at a boiling temperature for
about thirty minutes.
No solder is used about the cans,
the covers being put on by use of
crimper, which Theoretically seals
them. Labels are attached by hand
and the cans then packed in cases, "a
to case. ready for shipping.
The owners of the factory have had
nearly forty acres planted to vege-
tables this year, including the patches
of beans, corn, cabbage, cucumbers
and 10000 tomato plants, beside the
earlier vegetables which were used
largely to supply the local demand
for fresh vegetables. Dill pickles and
sauer kraut are also being put up"
now, and this work will continue fCl.
the next few weeks.
Much of the product of the factory
is shipped to St Paul markets, car.
load of beans and tomatoes being
shipped soon to meet contract
WatertoNp also buys a large proper
ton Of the output.
Later in the season the factory vii!
take care Of large quantity Of pump
kins, and some ground cherries will
be preserved.
While the factory building and
equipment are small and in some
measure incomplete, the results o.
tanned are remarkable considering he
youth of the enterprise which was
started only a short time ago. The
owners. the Robbins Brothers, have
overcome many Of the obstacles in
cident upon the starting Of such a
business and have the necessary en-
terprise to make such a business grow
and become one Of real value to TIE
town. Tie most serious obstacle 70
its success is the scarcity Of good
labor during the busy seasons.
