NORWEGIAN CHURCHES TO
UNITE.
Meeting at Minneapolis on Monday
Voted to Unite.

The vote on the resolution to
merge with the United church in the
event that the Hauge synod fails to
come in, taken at noon Monday, was
adopted by a vote of 491 to 1877. This
was followed by the adoption of
resolution directing the church coun-
Gil and the boards to further the
cause of union in every way, to in
corporate the Norwegian Lutheran
church in America, and to transfer
the property. This vote was 4S2 to
Isl. 1t was understood that the un-
lion will not go into effect until 1917.
IL. o. Thorpe, of Willmar, MINI. said
that the union will be completed on
the 4OOth anniversary of the refor-
nation. President H. G. Stub was
taken to he spital Monday to under
go a serious operation.
President Stub Monday made his
first utterances on the union PROPOSE
ton. Through all the debate of last
week, though a leader in the union
movement, he kept silent and out
wardly neutral. His talk Monday was
an impassioned appeal for union.
Before God and man the synod
and the United church have declared
complete concord in doctrine he
said. There may be individuals il
the various organizations VINO are
not in accord with the agreement rs
to doctrine, but this is no hindranct
and should not restrain the great ma
ljority who are one in thought to dt
the Lords work together"

A GREAT EXHIBIT.
Annual Exhibit of Work of Pupils
DEBORAH Public Schools Attracts
Large Number.

The annual exhibit of work done
by the pupils of the DEBORAH public
schools was held last Friday at the
school building, and an exceptionally
large number of visitors viewed the
work, and were amazed at the great
variety and the excellence of the ex-
hibit. From the primary department
to and including the high school the
various grades made exhibits of
handwork in drawing, sewing, do
nestle science, manual training,
painting, etc. We will not attempt
to describe the different exhibits,
but suffice to say that they were per-
haps the finest ever shown by this
popular school, and the superinten-
dent and teachers are certainly en-
titled to large amount of credit, for
the training given the pupils in these
special lines. 1t was an exhibit that
everyone of our citizens can we'll feel
proud of. Some of the fine work is
now on exhibition in Ben Bears win
dow, and many are the compliments
we have heard bestowed on it. If you
missed the exhibit at the school don't
fail to view the work on display in
Mr.. Bears store window.

A Year Without a Summer.

1t is said that the year 1916 had
no summer; that frosts prevailed and
ice formed in the month of June;
that in July ice formed to the thick
ness of an inch that in August there
was heavy fall of snow; but that in
September the usual fall weather
prevailed. There was no corn raised,
and most of the crops were failures.
1t is said that these weather co1di-
lions extended all over the New Eng
land states, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Probably the
facts have been exaggerated. Other
parts of the nation and world had a
summer, and there was food and
clothing for the people. Some growl
perpetually at the weather; it is too
hot or too cold; too wet or too dry.
And yet a kind Providence arranges
it infinitely better than we could.
What a beautiful promise this was
in the early history of the race:
"While the earth remaineth, seed
time and harvest, and cold and heat
and summer and winter, and day and
night shall not cease" The Chris
tian Herald.

How You Catch Cold"

In a comprehensive study of the
causes of catching cold' just made
by DR.. c. NJ. PITCHER, it has been de-
termined that the quick witted and
those who use their brains a COOL
deal catch cold much more easily than
those who do little brain work and
are mentally slow.
Wherever a case was found Of
some one who was extremely suscep-
tible to influenza or even simple cold,
either that person was engaged in
some professional work or there was
considerable tax upon him in factory
or in Office or else his work required

ONE especially Keen exercise of the

some especially Keen exercise Of the
mind.
The mentally heavy, slow-going
kind OF person very rarely has cold.
In working out this problem it was
found that resistance to cold is not
so much a matter of what one wears
as of what one is. 1t is those people
who suffer most keenly when it Is
very cold or very hot, who have u
headache when they face high wind,
whose hair crackles with electricity
when they comb tin a word, those
who are nervous and highly organ
lied most readily fall victims to the
insidious "colds in the head"

SUED FOR five
THOUSAND IRON men"

editor of the Tribune
was rived with papers last
Satufay, drawn in due legal
form by one of our rising
young attorneys and signed by
w. ]. Holbrook, wherein he
alleges that because we alluded
to him in terms which he con-
siders uncomplimentary, that
his reputation, credit, good
name and reputation have
been damaged to the extent of
five thousand dollars. He al
leges that in the four days
e | a p e d b. twee the
time that the paper was issued
and the complaint signed, that
he was thus damaged IT, the
sum of four thousand dollars
one thousand per day. We
suppose we ought to be quite
thankful to him because he
didn't wait ten or twenty days
in which case we might have
had a hard time TO raise the
money. When a man has such
a reputation, credit, character
and business that he can so
easily loose one thousand dol
lars a day for four or five days
and continue doing as much
business as ever, we CAM see
why he wants to sue a poor
newspaper man - especially
when paper is so high. Its

nominations, such, as 500,

finite earning power; Liquid,
in that it can be turned into
cash, thru the banks or stock
exchanges, any business day of
the year, without loss and
without delay.
The Farm Loan Act aims
to furnish the farmer cheap
money. This result will come.
it is hoped, thru giving the
farmer access to the money
markets of the country. The
act provides for form Of Sc
curity known as Farm Loan
Bonds, issued in denomina-
tons Of 500, 500, 500, $500,
or $1,000. These bonds will
bear a rate of interest not to
exceed five per cent. The farm
er 8 mortgage will always pay
just one per cent more than
these bonds, This security
will be both standard and
liquid. These bonds will be
free from all taxes, federal,
state municipal, or local. They
will be lawful investment for
all tiduciary or trust funds, and
may be accepted as security for
all public deposits. In short,
they are expected to be equal
or superior to the securities
used by the corporations, there
fore, it is believed that the
money market will absorb
quantities of these securities.
They can not bear more than
five per cent interest, but this
is a high rate for an absolutely
gilt-edge security. OF course,
if they can be sold at four per
cent it will mean money at
five per cent to the farmer.
The amount Of the Farm Loan
Bonds to be issued is unlimit-
ed, depending entirely upon
the number of first mortgages
for sale by the farmer and the
number of Farm Loan Bonds
the investors will buy at five
per cent or less. 1t is believed
that the present money market
will absorb many hundreds of
millions of these securities,
and also that small investors,
and money savers all over the
country will form new
money market by acquiring
the habit of putting their saw
ings in this new form of securi-
ty. If this proves to be the
case, the Act will furnish
plenty of cheap money to the
farmer with the proper securi-
ty. 1t should be added that it
is the aim of the Act to fur
nish the money to farmers at
cost, which is not to exceed the
one per cent margin mentioned
above, and may prove to be as
low as one half of one per cent.
