FAIR ASSOCIATION
IN ANNUAL MEETING
Farm Topics Discussed, Reports
Heard and Officers
Elected.

Yesterday occurred the annual meet
ing of the county agricultural society,
the Kandiyohi County Fair Associa-
tion. For some unknown reason Mr..
E. w. Smith of the State Agricultural
Extension Department., did not arrive,
and so the morning session was made
a joint one with the ladies aud Miss
Bess Rowe made an address on the
arrangement of the kitchen and ap-
pliances to tighten the work of the
women. This was followed by dis
cussion which lasted until the noon
hour.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Axel
T. Johnson of Sunnyside Farmers
Club spoke on the effort being made
to finance the county agent proposition
and discussion followed.
w. F. Schilling of Northfield spoke
on the care of stock. Many farmers
keep more stock than they can prop
erly care for and lose money for that
reason. He predicts bright future
for the cattle industry. The utiliza-
tion of soft corn, late filling of silos,
and other points were brought out in
the discussion. Prof. E. l.. Rodegeb
spoke on his impressions Of this coun.
try in comparison with New York
state and Michigan. Mr.. Schilling
spoke briefly on the county fair and
urged the greatest possible participa'
ton in the same by the farmers.
The business session was opened by
the financial report by Secretary w
o. Johnson The summary of the
same is as follows:

OBJ sITuARY
ESTHER v. LAWSON.

The drowning Of Miss Esther Law.
son in the mill pond at New London
on Tuesday evening of last week was
a sad accident that shocked the peo-
pie everywhere she was known. The
deceased left the home at about 1880
in the evening to spend the night with
the Hultberg children at the home
Of Mrs. Hedin, as the latter had been
called away. On the way Miss Lawson
took the notion to cross the ice on the
millpond instead of walking around.
The ice had been covered with skaters
and she thought it was safe, and was
unaware of the fact that the current
has made an open space following the
old channel OF the river. AS she went
on the ice she met Mr.. Christopherson
who was the last person to see her
alive. 1t was dark, the ice was dark
and the open water was dark, and
she had walked right into the water.
No alarm was felt at the home as it
was supposed that she was at the
Hedin home. When she did not re.
turn the next day the folks began 10
make inquiries and it was learned
that she had not been seen at the
Hedin home at all. This led to an in
vestigation of the pond, when her
muff was found, and it was realized
that a tragedy had occurred. The
body was found in half hour after
the search began
Esther Victoria Lawson was born al
Paxton, Ford county, ILL.,, Dec. 20, 1877
In the fall of 1880 the family moved
to New London and here Esther grew
to womanhood. She attended the New
London schools and later attended G
A. College at st. Peter where she
studied music. She was confirmed IN
1894 by Rev. c. J. Collin. Since 1895
she has held the position as organist

When Fighting Wanes South of
Ypres Germans Move in With
Allies.

Boulogne.-A British soldier re
lates a remarkable story OF how the
English and Germans hobnobbed in
the same trench few miles south of
| Ypres, There were handful Of Ger
! mans and smaller handful of allied
forces Trenches were but few
yards apart, and in these for more
than week the men of both sides
had been bored and inactive. They
amused themselves as best they
could, exchanging messages, swap
ping newspapers and tobacco hurting
back and forth greetings and eplthets.
More days passed and still neither
side received orders either to attack
or to withdraw. Some sort of coop
GRAFTON seemed necessary. Accord
ingly the Germans hoisted a white
lag and advancing under this, en-
cred the allied trench for confer
ence. The result was that an agree,
rent was reached that it would be
more comfortable for all to live in one
french until one side or the other re-
ceiyed orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for a number of days all
went we'll Many of the Germans
spoke English or French. Under the
strange circumstances friendships
sprung up Both factions dreaded the
arrival of a messenger. One day a
messenger came, and plans for the re
newal of hostilities were hastily made.
But the messenger proved to be only
a bearer of mail and newspapers for
the Germans. All gathered around |
while a German began to translate
the latest dispatch from Berlin.
Unhapply for the harmony Of the
gathering, it referred to Ostend by its
German nickname, "Kales," spoke of
bomb-droppings on various French |
towns and Of contemplated air raids
c1 Great Britain The English
frowned growled; the French grew
excited Both sides had by agreement
laid aside their rifles; but both sides
still had their fists. Both used them.
A free-for-all fight followed, and the
unique compact came to an end.
