Mr.. J. }. Hill attended the Deter
Tail county fair at Fergus Falls last
week and for more than an hour ad-
dressed an audience of 5000 people.
Before commencing his talk he
looked over the exhibits to see what
the farmers OF Otter Tail county
were doing in cattle and crops and,
according to the Fergus Falls ournal,
he manifesto the same interest
there thH he did at the Mile Laos
county fair in Princeton two years
ago. We quote from the Journal:
''Mr. Hill is thoroughly at home
at county fair. No man has spent
more time in studying agriculture in
all it's phases and when he looks at
an ear Of corn or rutabaga or a
COW he knows what he is looking at
and he looks at it with interest and
not in the casual way which the
average person views the products.
He sees at once the Projections and
imperfections and points them out
with rapidity to the person who is
exhibiting. if he is near at hand.
''Mr. Hill is splendid mixer with
an agricultural crowd. Most men
engaged in legal affairs as he is are
unable to mix and minsle with the
crowd, be interested in what they
are doing and express that interest
and have the appearance of genuine
ness.

In none of the four states which
voted on suffrage will the women have
the opportunity of getting the suffrage
project before the voters again for
some time; four years in New York;
five years in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey and two years in Massachu-
setts
The anti-suffrage voting appears,
from the returns thus far given, to
have been the strongest in Pennsylva-
MIA, where the ratio is roughly esti-
mated as high as three to one against
suffrage. Massachusetts appears to
have been next with a ratio of about
two to one, while New York state, as
had been expected from the fact that
the campaign had been waged so
strongly there, had the closest ratio
Of about four to three.
One general phase of the voting is
that the anti-suffrage ratios were as
strong in the large cities, where the
suffragists naturally conferred their
campaigns, as in the rural districts,
where there was less campaign activ-
ity.

was the choosing of a successor to

Upon motion Oscar Stark was
chosen as member of the common
council: succeeding MI. Newbert,
and he will undoubtedly prove a. val
liable member of that body.
The resignation of Frank Blair as
constable was submitted to the coun-
Gil, and same was accepted. G. H.

vacancy created by said resignation
and his bond was fixed in the sum
of $500.

Deceased was born in Denmark.
December Is, 1882, so at the time of
his death was 50 years: 10 months
and 7 days old. He had been a resi-

half a century, coming to America
during the year of 1866. He located
on farm in Steele county, and re-
sided there up to six years ago when
his wife died. Since that time he
had made his home with his daugh-
ter in this village.
Christian Peterson was good

The foliage of the latter gives shade

Fox gloves are at home in the old

softly with every passing breeze,
while the spikes are strong enough to
stand without stalking. The yellow
variety, digitalis grandiflora, will
flower most Of the Summer and can

combination and natural effect under
yellow foxgloves, especially If the
position is in partial shade.
