Labor Day Picnic.

The Maple Hill community OBJ
served Labor Day by holding a COM
munity picnic in the grounds adjoin-
ing the new town hall. Families
from all parts of the settlement ar
rived in the forenoon and passed the
time pleasantly in visiting with
neighbors and acquaintances. Lunch
was eaten at noon in regular picnic
style in the cool shade of the trees
that have given their name TO the
localaty.
Following lunch all gathered in
the town hall to enjoy the program
of music and speech. DR.. F. B.
Hicks, the speeker of the day, con-
graduated the community on the
excellence of the new town hall, and
commented upon the important part
in the history of the country the
town meeting fills. In a brief re-
view of social progress from its
original simple state to it's present
day complex form, the speeker
showed how the attitude towards
labor, of the ruling non-laboring
cast, effected the popular view.
Tracing the progress of society In a
democratic state; he pointed out
clearly the evidences of changing
attitude towards labor, and that with
the growing recognation of the re-
lation of labor to the general well
fare has come corresponding re-
cognatlon of the dignity lnseparable
from all work. In concluding, the
doctor expressed in no mild form
the hearty contempt of all right
minded people for that type of
humanity which may be termed the
professional loafer, OF any social
rank whatsoever.
The doctors address was followed
by a nmmbor Of instrumental So
lections rendered by the Maple Hill
Gzsshestse, Mise Trina 'Tuftey and
Mr.. Anderson. Little Miss Lulu
Anderson, accompanied by Mrs.
Anderson, sang "Row Me Over the
Tide" with all the winning charms
of very little child. Mr.. J. A.
Blackwell favored the audience with
with much appreciated song.
A very pleasant feature of the
gathering was the presence of a
large number of visitors from Grand
Marais. Such friendly interest in
rural social affairs makes for the
best of relations between village and
countryside.

Coroner's Report.

On the 3rd inst. I was called to
Hovland, Mimi, to view the body
of man named John N. Hansen.
He was about 98 years of age and
his occupation was laborer, but was
employed as fisherman at Horse
shoe Bay, Hovland, Mlnn. His
birthplace was Fredrickstad, Nor
way. His father 10 John E. Hanson
of the same place.
Mr.. John N. Hanson was working
as helper at Horseshoe Bay for a
short time. He left for Duluth the
last part of August and came back
in short time from there. His en-
ployers were also in Duluth, but
Mr.. Hanson came back alone, and in
a day or so after he got back he
commenced to worry somewhat and
his friends asked him what was the
matter with him and he said his
head was troubleing him. His
friends said that when he was at his
sisters house IN Duluth he seemed
to be in perfect condition. Sept.
2nd he became worse so neighbors
susp,cioned that insanity was setting
in, and IN the afternoon of that day
he took off all his clothes except his
underwear and went out on the
rocks near the water apparently as
if he was going to take bath and a
party of four men tried to get him
back to the house but could not do
SO, so early in the evening the de-
putty sheriff and others came to take
care of him but he could not be
found. Likely he fell from the
rocks into the water, or he may have
committed suicide. It is difficult
for the coroner to say whether he
committed suicide or fell from the
rocks lntn the water and was
drowned. Mr.. Martin Augenson,
under oath before the coroner, testi.
fed to that effect.
t. Mr.. Hansen's brother, G. G. Han.
sen IF 425 -41st Ave. East, Duluth,
Minn., was notified of the acciden,
and came up on the boat and took
his body to Duluth for burial.
I decided that an inquest was not
necessary as 1 got all the facts in
the case and it was either an acci.
dent or suicide.
Dated at Grand Marais, Mimi.

ous parts of the state, it is certain that
general heavy frost before September 20
would easily destroy the seed value of
most of Minnesota's g corn. Even if frost
holds off until after that date, the guam
tity of corn that will be available for
seed will be small, for reports indicate
that at best the state will not get more
than half-crop of corn this year. The
same reports show that the amount of
seed corn held over from last year is
very small. It is we'll known now that
1t does not do to go to more southern
parts of the corn belt for seed corn, for
seed corn from such areas does not ma
ture early enough to escape frosts in
Minnesota.
What is to be done, then?
Andrew Boss, A. D. Wilson, G. P. Bull
and others at the Minnesota College of
Agriculture, who have been studying
the situation, suggest this:
Search out the most mature acres of
corn on your farm.
Pick supply of seed corn from these
acres the moment the corn is mature
enough, picking from the standing
stalks in the field.
Corn is mature enough for seed when
it has reached the dent stage, though it
is better to let it ripen beyond this stage
if possible. But if it has reached this
stage, and frost threatens, take no
chances but pick seed corn.
If you have no corn far enough along
for seed, and some othea farmer in the
vicinity has, buy the privilege of picking
seed corn in his field at fair price per
bushel. It will cost less to do that than
| to buy seed corn-of doubtful worth
next spring.
Pick Minnesota No. 13 and Minnesota
% if possible. Reports show that these
have met the trying conditions this year
! in the main better than other corns.
Immediately after picking your seed
corn. hang it up to cure in place where
every ear can get plenty of ventilation
and be wholly safe from being frosted.
Everybody, the farmer, business man,
school or other professional man, and
every kind of organization, from
farmers club to commercial club, or
even the church, should make the mat
ter of getting sufficient supply of seed
corn for next year business through
the remaining weeks OF September.
