METHODIST
CHURCH BEING
TORN Down

The present church building of the
Methodist church is being torn down
to give place to a new brick church to
be built on the site. The present
church was built by w. j. Hurst and
H. H. Barr, and has served the con-
gregation to the present time. It has
become inadequate for the church and
congregation of the present time.
During a greater part Of the year
the Sunday school has overfowed in
to the parsonage, the primary meeting
there. Adequate Sunday school facili-
ties is pressing demand of the pres
ent time. The first pastor of the
church was John Walton who was sent
by the conference in 1852, and served
the year. The appointment was made
to this territory as Emission work"
John Walton was a pioneer. Follow
ing Rev. Walton the following pastors
served:
John R. Yost 1884, A. r. Barlow ls..

The new church has been needed fo1
a long time. Under the p.storate o:
T. A. Oleson a subscription was taker
and plans secured and the old build
ing raised from it's foundation prepar
atory to moving. Uufavorable crol
prospects caused fear and the churcl
was lowered and has been used since
Work was done upon subscription
under the pastorate Of c. L. Wallace
This work done by former pastor
, paved the way for the present enter
prise. The new church will be built 0
Hebron brick, will have a full base
ment, that can be used for S. S., an
. social work. The first floor will hav

first gallery. The floor plan calls fo
building 44x72. 1t will meet til
needs of the congregation for years t
come and will be worthy asset to tn
city.

F ARMERS SOW
RED CLOVER
RICHLAND COUNTY FARMERS
PLANTED MUCH OF THAT FOR
AGE.

Reports from Wahpeton state that
hundred of farmers Of Richland coun-
ty seeded red clover with their grain
crops this spring. The acreage with
some was limited, but one company
put in between 500 and 600 acres. The
farmers claim the red clover will be
the salvation of the state and that it
will be feature Of every farm in the
Red River valley within few years.
1t is not only a profitable crop within
itself, they contend, but possesses the
qualities that will restore fertility to
lands long cropped in wheat.

LOOK OUT FOR
NAVAL DISEASE

Many farmers are complaining that
they are losing their young colts this
spring from what is known as Naval
Disease. The disease is caused from
an infection Of the naval, nd unless
given prompt attention the animal will
die in a very short time from blood
poison. Keep the mare and colt in a
clean place and see that some disinfec
tant is used. If you do not know how
to treat the disease either see your
veterinary of write to the Agriculture
al College, and they will give you in
structions.
