VILLAGES AND TOWNS

AS far as ordinary conveniences are
concerned it matters not much in
what locality the farmer might settle,
there being large number Of pros
porous little towns and villages we'll
scattered about the county, where sup
plies can be purchased and railroad,
postal and telephone facilities enjoy
ed. A number of them are located on
either the Northern Pacific or 500
railroads.
The largest community, the city Of
Little Falls, is elsewhere spoken of.
Royalton commercially, is mistress
of southern Morrison county, it having
rich farming community to draw its
trade from. It's citizens are prosper
Gus and progressive. A fine system of
high and graded schools with an ex-
cellent teaching corps is maintained
and especial attention is given to it's
agricultural department. A number
of the denominations are represented,
they being the Episcopal, Presbyter-
ian, Catholic and Methodist Episcopal.
Royalton, with a population of 700,
is located On the N. P. and is one the
the largest shippers in the county, it
being supplied with grain and potato
warehouses and other facilities to
properly handle the various products
of the farm.
The village is electric lighted, an
excellent fire department is maintained
and the business buildings are of sub
stantial character. Altogether Royal.

LIVE STOCK

Morrison county is rapidly coming
to the fore in live stock raising, each
year besides furnishing the local mar
kets, hundreds of carloads of cattle,
hogs and sheep are shipped to the mar
kets of South St. Paul and Duluth.
There are in the county number of
fine herds of the dual purpose cattle,
such as Holsteins, Red Polled, Here
fords, Durhams and Short horns. In
hogs the Poland China Chester White
and in the last few years the Red
Duroc hog has been very largely raised.
Stock is being rapidly bred up and top
prices are received very generally.
Although farmers are continually get
ting from the outside stock to better
their herds, there is also considerable
stock shipped to wide territory by
local breeders, whose herds have gain
ed more than local reputation. The
Elm Dale Livestock Shipping associa-
ton, is the only cooperative selling
agency in the county at this time, but
their known success in shippin~ will
be responsible for many more such or

shown by the fact that the demand for
competent creamery managers is diff
cult to meet. Several creameries last
year had great difficulty in securing
good men even at liberal sale ries.
The department. OF agriculture of the
University OF Minnesota, University
Farm, St. Paul, is keeping in touch
with the demand through its dairy
school held every year under the su-
'pervision of the ualry and animal hus-
bandry division, Of which T. L. Hack
-er is chief. Moreover, through this
same agency it is endeavoring to meet
the demand.
The school will open this year 1
November and close. December 4. It
will offer courses in the making Of
butter, cheese, and ice cream; also q
course in advanced creamery work, to
fit experienced men to be better oper-
.ators of large plants. R. NJ. Wash
burn will be in charge.

THE AUTOMOBILE AND GOOD
ROADS

Perhaps the most prominent and
striking part played by the automobile
as a national factor has been its effect
on roads. Only a small percentage Of
the roads of this country are improved
even today (about 81 per cent in all),
but in past years the percentage Of
improved roads has hardly been even
half Of that. Business conditions have
repressed much bodybuilding that is
already planned, but the automobilist
is fighting hard for better roads,
whether he is a farmer or a million
aire. The political sentiment and pres
sure which the two million automobile
lists of the country exert will surely
eventually give this country decent
percentage of travelable roads. At
least two-thirds of the reasons for
present road development are automo-
bile reasons; so to the automobile may
be ascribed credit for the widespread
benefits of improved roads.-From
" Automobiles by the Million.' by J.
George Frederick, in the American Re-
view Of Reviews for October.

part Of the county can be assured Of
fair treatment and a good share Of
prosperity.
Pierz, one of the older settlements,
located in rich farming community
and peopled by sturdy German citi.
zens, is one Of the thriving villages Of
the county. The population is nearly
600, and has bright prospects Of rap
idly increasing population. 1t has
been brought into closer touch with
the world through the building Of the
500 line, thus bringing the markets Of
Duluth and other cities to her door.
Excellent schools are maintained. In
the village and adjacent territory the
people are mostly of the Catholic faith,
and St. Joseph's church, large and
well appointed edifice is maintained.
Stores of all kinds, bank, two
hotels, newspaper, two creameries.
lumber yards, and flour and feed
mill are among the establishments of
the city. There is also an opera house,
one which much larger places than
Pierz would be glad to patronize. They
have waterworks, fire protection and
electric lights. The people of Pierz
are among Morrison county's foremost

Swanville, on the L. F. and D..
branch of the Northern Pacific road,
has population Of over 400. Two
banks, a fine creamery and merchan-
disc establishments of every nature
make this a favorable trading point
for people in that section Of the coun-
tv with excellent shipping facilities.
The merchants and dealers generally
are prosperous and the town is grow
ing in keeping with development Of
the surrounding territory.
Located on the Northern Pacific rail.
road The town Of Randall is the mar
ket place for many farmers in the
rich territory surrounding. It has a
population Of about $50 prosperous
people and its business establishments
furnish everything requisite to the
happiness and general well being of
her people and those who do their
trading there. A fine creamery is op.

cial functions are numerous, partlcu-
larly. during the winter months and
lines of demarcation between the
"classes' are not so sharply drawn,
as in many places.
Splendid church editices have been
erected by the various denominations
and pastors of the highest order con-
scientiously look after their charges.
There is noticeable absence of crime
of any and every description within
the city confines. To give a better
idea Of the church life of the city the
following may be enumerated: St..
Francis Xavier Catholic church, Sa-
cred Heart German Catholic church,
St. Adelbert Polish Catholic church,
Church of Our Savior, Episcopal; Con-
gregational church. First Baptist
church, Methodist Episcopal church,
Presbyterian church, Norwegian Luth-

Swedish Lutheran church and Swedish
Congregational church. From the fore
going it may be readily seen that all
denominations and all nationalities

find society and conditions as congen-

The safety Of the home from the fire

There is no reason why people max

eUILETs FOR EGGS IN COLD
WEATHER

1--WE must depend on well-matured
pu11ets for the bulk of our egg supply
in cold weather. says G. E. Brown,
poultryman at the Northwest Expert
'ment station, Crookston, in Bulletin
No. q issued by the Extension Divi-
sion Of The Minnesota College Of Agri-
culture.
Pu11ets of the heavier breeds that
have been Matched between April 1
and the middle of May, and those of
the lighter varieties Matched between
the middle of May and the middle of
June, adds Mr.. Brown, will be mature
enough by the first of October or No.
vember to begin laying. and, if they
are properly cared for, should be good
egg-producers.
Special care is needed when pullets
are first transferred to their winter
quarters. If the chickens have been
roosting in the open air through the
summer and are suddenly transferred
to close and stuffy quarters, they are
almost sure to contract colds or even
roup. The windows and the door of
the chicken house, therefore, should
not be closed too tightly at night un.
til severe weather sets in.

who has been in a St. Paul hospital

STEMS from Business.

Vaudeville under Hammerstein man
agement will not enliven tho present
theatrical season. In denying the Ham
merstein Amusement Company, which
operated the Victoria Theatre, a mo-
ton for an injunction against the
United Booking Office, Justice Lehman
in the Supreme Court yesterday blasted
the hopes Of Broadway for such enter
tainment.
Throughout the entire controversy
blasting Of another nature bias played
an important role. II was when the
lbway diggers reached point at the
intersection Of Seventh Avenue and
Forty-second Street and proceeded to
blow loose the rock II was found, so IL
was alleged in court, that the Victoria
Theatre was endangered. Il was de-
cided 10 tear il down and erect more
modern structure.
In the contract with the United Book
ing Office, which furnished the vaude-
vile acts to the Victoria Theatre, was
a clause that provided such service
would be continued should the Ham
merstein Amusement Company be
forced 70 desert its quarters because OF
fire cor other casualty"
After closing the Victoria Theatre
the Hammerstein company leased the
Forty fourth Street Theatre, expecting
20 open with vaudeville this fall. The
United Booking Office, however, re-
fused TO continue the service, on the
ground that their contract was made
fer the Victoria. The contention Of
the Hammerstein company that the
blasting in Seventh Avenue constituted
a casualty was denied yesterday by
Justice Lehman.
