Fred A. Bill of Minneapolis, a
member Of the Reads Landing as
sociation of the Twin Cities, has
presented the State Historical society
with a large United States flag made
by the women of Reads Landing in
1862. In 1862 party Of southern

raising a Confederate flag. This
aroused the ire of the Republican
club and the women at once proceeded
to make flag Of such material as
could be obtained in local stores. A
flag pole Ito feet high was prepared
by the club and the raising was quite
an event.

Gets Half of New Settlers.

Chattels of immigrants to Mime
sofa during 1915 required 2,306 cars
and the number of new settlers COM
ing to Minnesota is just half those
going to all the other states of the
Northwest combined. Fred D. Sher-
man, immigration commissioner, says
that the Minnesota Transfer railway
handled 4.444 cars Of immigrant
movables in the year.
Prospects for immigration this
year are not as bright as would
like to see them,' said Mr.. Sherman,
"but Notwithstanding look for a
fair movment to the Northwest when
the spring opens and / have no fear
but that Minnesota will maintain her
present percentage

Forty-One Kinds Of Birds.

How many kinds of birds may be
found in Minnesota in the winter sea-

about these birds and all Of them in
Minnesota at this time of the year is
contained in the latest number Of

of these are brood sows. He raises
considerable sorghum for feed. This
he cuts three times a year. We saw
his tank for treating his seed potatoes.
Also the planter which plows two fur

(for fertilizer.) Two other compart-
ments drop the potatoes and two discs
cover them. Let us hope he will get
his seed back for really $50 bushels Of
potatoes would be quite a crop. The
potatoes were coming up nicely. We
passed on the way the Congle Ranch,
farmed by n man with his Mexican
help. The place looked like a small
town. The cemetery was a gruesome
looking place with the graves above
the ground encased in concrete which
looked like the pictures Of the old
sarcophagus used by the Greeks. We
passed one camp of Uncle Sans men
who are guarding the border and it
was the neatest, cleanest place we
saw. The ground was raked and
swept until it shone. While waiting
for u car we had the good luck to
meet Mr.. Mann, of Bookings. How
glad We were to see some one from
home. Mrs. Spicer of Watertown,
lives here and has called on us. She
has often been in Brookings and
knows many of our n%eighbors, so We

will be back when the springtime

over three years.
These tests were conducted on the
public roads in the vicinity of the fac.

testing period all the buses owned
by the Brunswick Motor Company
were equipped with these new castings.
These vehicles cover one hundred and
ninety-two miles daily, not only over
the fine macadam roads between New
Brunswick, Metuchen and Plainfeld,

sandy roads on the South River, Old

ger LoZier used as a testing car. hav-
ing been driven over one hundred
miles daily, excepting Sundays and
holidays for over two years.
In describing the new Michelin cas-
ing, Mr.. Fridley, the local representa-
tive Of the Michelin Company, states
that the Universal Tread is really a
combination of the Michelin racing
type fiat tread, having the same char
acteristic heavy added tread, and the
Michelin plain tread, a full round tire
of the so-called Oversize" type. The
non skid feature, MI. Fridley says, is
a combination of the raised or studded
tread o skid. with the fiat or suction
tread type. Mr.. Fridley, who is a very
Michelin booster, says
the Michelin Company is very con.
.sevative in offering this new casing
the public only after three years of
tests of the most exhaustive
kind, and for that reason he is ready
to endorse this new tire without quail
fication. Word from the factory indi-
that a very large demand for
new casing is already assured.
