FARMERS PICNIC
GRAND SUCCESS
. The Egg City is Host to Big Crowd
and Does Herself Proud in En-
tertaining the People From
all Parts of the County.

The second annual picnic of the
Morrow County Farmers Union was
held at lone on Tuesday last. and it
was complete success. Fully 1000
outside people attended and the day
was enjoyably and profitably spent.
The weather was little unpleasant.
owing to the prevalence of high
wind, but the good people of the
Egg City had done all they could to
overcome the unpleasantness, and
had the main street well wet down
and thus reduced the dust nuisance
to a minimum. The grove at the east
side of town had been prepared for
the exercises and these were removed
to the rink where the advertised pro-
gram was carried out.
The picnic was honored by the
presence of State President j. D.
Brown of Arlington; State Secretary
Skies of Milton; Hector Mcpherson
of the State Agricultural College.
and Hon. o. F. Dornblaser, one Of
the national officers, from Texas.
The forenoon program was car
ried out as advertised in these col
umns last week, with the exception
of the recitation by Walter Gay, who
was prevented from being present
Good music by the Mandolin Club
composed of a number of young la
dies of lone who handle their instru-
ments well and who sustained their
part of the program in pleasing
manner w. T. McNabb made the
Introductory address and welcomed
the farmers to the city, and addresses
were made by Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Nc
Pherson and Mr. Dornblaser, the lat
ter being the chief speaker of the
day.
Mr.. Dornblaser has been moving
factor in the national organization
of the Farmers Union from the be-
ginning He comes from the state
of Texas where the order originated
and his address was given out of his
ripe experience in the work. He was
we'll received and said many good,
things, the only regret being that his
time was so limited. In order to
reach another appointment, Mr..
Dornblaser was compelled to leave
out much of his address.
The entertainment features of the
afternoon were pulled off successful
ly, and there was plenty going on all
the time to entertain the large crowd.
The c. G. Patten Carnival Company
were there and with their big merry
go-round, animal show and other at
fractions, there was no lack of
amusement and entertainment for big
and little, old and young. A big ball
in the evening at the rink, with good
music by Bowkers orchestra, OF
Portland, brought the festivities to a
close.
The time and place of holding the
next picnic have not been decided
but all are unanimous in expressing
the opinion that the lone people
handled the matter well this year and
proved herself to be equal to the
occasion Of handling large CROWD
and giving them good time.

Fire in Neat House, Cause For Real
Excitement.

Some real excitement was caused
last Friday when the smoke house at
the rear of the City Meat Market
burst into flames. The fire depart
ment was called out and some quick
work on their part soon subdued the
blaze. The Market people had been
smoking hams and in some manner
the house became ignited. No other
loss than the hams was sustained.
The smoke house is situated in the
midst of great number of buildings,
and that no more damage was done is
considered fortunate.

again been postponed, this time until
Thursday, the 18th, just.a week from

Much Activity.

Farming communities in the north
west part of Beltrami county are
rapidly coming to the front, the la
test indication of this fact being the
purchase Of an oil tractor by Gilbert
Benson, one of the prosperous farm
ers of the Grygla district. The trac-
tor is capable of pulling several
plows and when on a road will pull
several loaded wagons at the rate of
ten miles per hour. Sunday at Ben

Hay of the Thief River Falls public

and his talk added much to. the am

works on labor problems, who is now
in this country making a study of
the questions of industrial efficiency
