band was given to a full house in
this city on Thursday evening, Of
last wee kand was thoroughly en-
joyed from start to finish. In the
large audience were many from Al
varado, Oslo, Viking, Stephen, Ar
gyle and other towns. The high
class program and the ability, preci-
sion and perfection with which every
selection was rendered, proved to
lovers Of good band music that r..
Melius Christianson is one Of the
really great musical directors Of this
country. Each Individual player al
so is an expert on his instrument.
The vocal solos by Carsten 7. Woll,
tenor, were also immensely enjoyed.
His Nita Getana by DeKoven and Sc
lections from Grieg were superbly
sung.
The band was on the home stretch
Gu its tenth annual concert tour,
which was brought to an end by a
grand concert given at st. Olaf Coll
ilege, Mortified ,on Monday evening,

TWO YOUNG MEN ARRESTED
AND ARE BOUND OVER TO
GRAND JURY
Sheriff Hanson Sees Arthur Olson
and John Skog in the Office Dur
ing Momentary Absence Of the
Station Agent.

The money till at the 500 depot in
this city was robbed Of its cash,
$26.63, mostly in silver coin, on Sat-
urday evening last week just after
the 500 passenger train had arrived
from the west, about 7:40 o'clock,
and while it was still standing at the
depot. John Skog and Arthur Olson
came in on the train from Oslo, to
which town they had gone on a west
bound freight earlier in the day. The
young men rushed into the waiting
room as soon as they got off the
train and there they were observed
by Sheriff Hanson, who has had them
spotted for some days on account of
other acts of a criminal nature re-
Gently committed in the city. The
conductor came in to procure some
small change which Agent Herrick
was busy at his desk writing an i'm
portant letter that he wanted to get
off on the train. After attending to
the needs of the conductor, who then
went out, Mr.. Herrick finished his
letter and stepped out to the train
with it. Skog and Olson, who had
stood in the waiting room lighting a
cigarette, then backed thru the office
door and Sheriff Hanson saw Olson
edge up towards the till, after which
in a brief moment both Of them back
ed out again into the waiting room.
Then in order to learn whether any
of the officials were in the Office at
the time, the sheriff stepped out to
look through the outide window from
which clearer view Of the Office can
be had and seeing none, he stepped
in again. But in the meantime the
young fellows had disappeared in the
crowd aided by the darkness. Mr..
Hanson then told Mr.. Herrick to
check up the cash in the till to see if
any was missing. It seemed almost
impossible that the till could have
been opened and the money taken in
the short space of time the boys were
inside the office, and especially SO if
the combination was not known. As
soon as Mr.. Herrick opened the till

LOCAL live STOCK
BREEDERS ORGANIZE
A FEW WORDS THAT MAY BE
WORTH CONSIDERATION IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LIVE

TION.

We are in the same condition, fac
ing the same propositions, as others
who have for number of years con-
Quoted the so-called one crop farm
ing. Our efforts and minds have
been bent on how to produce small
grains in large quantities and our eff
forts have often been disappointed.
Though we have probably done far
better than good many others that
have attempted the same thing. The
question before us today is: Shall we
continue in face of more and more
uncertainty of crops on account Of
the condition of the soil and the con-
slant Increase in price for labor just
when we need and must have same?
Or should we change our methods,
try a more scientific and economic
way? Observations as to how other
industries have done might not be
out of place. We know our system
is a wasteful one.
If we for instance, look at the lum-
bering industry do we find any

Wait With Wisdom And Patience

The following is taken from the editor
ial page of the New Era and is we'll
worth reprinting.
1t is the waiting soul of Milton, blind
of eye, but seeing beyond sight, who said
that he who waits also serves. Serving,
however, is not waiting when he waits
alone; but all men wait who serve.
Waiting we'll is serving we'll, and such
brings to the servitor patience, which is
poise, with virtues balanced and impulses
controlled. Patience is a great safeguard,
if not exactly virtue 1t is condition
unto it's self. Many a fortune has been
lost for want of patience. Households
are broken up, and for the want of
patience, criminal acts are committed.
He was to impatient W ting for
and took the short cut to riches, and pris-
on, where he learned to be patient and
wait Also to serve!
One may serve without servility, and
wait with wisdom. His livery is descrlb-
ed by his character. A high purpose new
er descends, nor allows it's guardian to
descend to the menial The man who
serves God is an arbiter. He who right
ly serves his purpose transcends the pot
entlality of servant, as that word is gener-
ally applied.
And for all things worth while one
waits but not idly.
We wait with wisdom and activity for
desired results. And while waiting for
results, make their way ready.
The law of compensation. the settle
ment adjusted by nature, gravitation, and
hardy faith in that all things are finally
made right, counsel waiting.
If you have fallen on evil times and
feel the flint-wait! The cooling tide of
time will wash the gravel out; the hoof
will become whole and hardy.
Reach into the place affected; cut and
cauterize. and become cured, while wait
ing-and best serving.
There is nothing like rolling the pants
up wading through and coming ont on the
other side. We do this. while waiting
for the ferry, and that's proper waiting,

Things To Memorize

Get rid of that knocking habit. If
your jaws must have exercise, chew gum.
The person who is always knocking some
one or something is of no more use in
this world than dead man, but he takes
mp more room.
This is an obliging old world and if you
let it be generally known that you are
looking for trouble, it is mighty likely to
accommodate you.
Don't borrow trouble; you will have
enough of your own.
A fault finder is sure to gain for him.
self warm enemies and cold friends.
Believe in the better side of every per-
son you meet. 1t is optimism that really
saves people.
You'll pass through this world but once;
acquire the habit of boosting.
Don't be afraid to fail; be too proud to
cease trying.
Instead of always telling the mistake of
others, try to profit by your own.
Talk may be cheap. but it has cost
many man his good name, fame and
fortune.
Be original. Don't be poor copy of
somebody else.
1t is better to tell the truth and run
than lie and get caught in the act.
Instead of tearing down others, build
yourself up.
Don't lose faith in yourself if you wish
others to believe in you.
Few men have courage enough to hon
or a friends success without jealousy.
A friends frown is better than fool
ish smile.
A friend-one who considers my needs
before my deserving.
The world is looking for the man who
can do something, not for the man who
can explain why he didn't do it.
The world owes every man living"
said friend, but he's got to hustle to
prove the claim"
He who seeks happiness alone will new
, er find it but he who seeks to be useful
will find happiness at every turn.
Look pleasant, even if you don't feel so.
Keep your temper, no one else has any
use for it.
Don't neglect the little deeds while
dreaming of the great ones.
The ladder of fame often rests on a rick

Minnesota has long been living in hopes of
having suitable place in which to house women
delinquents''too old to be sent to Training School
In view of this urgent need, the 1914 legislature
appropriated thirty thousand dollars for the con-
struction of prison for women.
Last week the members of the Board of Control
state architect johnson, and prominent Club women
of the Twin Cities met at the prison to discuss the
proposed plans, and decide on the site. The
women's prison will be built close to the prison for

-. DIT II L A L -.

Owing to the inclemency OF the weather last
Saturday, the Simonet baseball team did not play
with the MS.P. as scheduled; nor did we have our
usual holiday But be that as it may, last Monday
dawned an ideal day for baseball and the Oak Park
boys came over in order to trim the prison team
1t was the best game played here since baseball was
first introduced. Not only was it the best game
ever staged on the local diamond, but it was the
longest game played, taking from $3.50 until 6:15
O'Clock to decide the winners
When the last half of the ninth inning was play
ed and the score was still I'LL, not few OF the
fans entertained the thought that the game would
be called, as it was then long past supper time.
However, the fans soon convinced that the
game would continue, regardless of the time of
day and would continue if it took until dark to de-
eide which team was victor. The game lasted one
more hour, but was finally won by the M.S.P.
nine.
On behalf of the inmates we extend vote of
thanks to the officials for the enjoyable holiday
accorded us, and especially do we extend our appre
citation to Deputy Warden Sullivan and his assist
ants for the privilege granted us to see the game
played to the finish.
