erected at that place. County Super

and 101, consolidate and erect a large
school in Upsala, where regular grade
work will be taught, as we'll as high

districts is over $270,O0O and if the
matter carries model school house

of how articles in various periodicals

some maintain, is all a matter Of

|NSTALLS MILKING MACHINE
C. J. HAGBERG OF PARKERTOWN
SPEAKS HIGHLY OF LABOR
SAVING DEVICE

G. J. Hagberg of Parkertown is the
first farmer in Morrison county to in
stall milking machine on his farm
and he now is a great booster for this
labor-saving device.
Every morning and evening twenty
two cows on Mr.. Hagberg's farm are
milked with this machine, which was
installed the first of January. The
machine is operated by two and one
half horse power gasoline engine,
which is connected with an air COM
pressor. Pipes lead from this COM
pressor to each stall in the barn and
faucets are fitted on the pipes, to
ed. ~ ss4
The milking machine proper; is the
double unit kind, equipped to milk two
cows at once. It works smoothly and
almost noiselessly and the cows give
the operator no trouble whatever. Mr..
Hagberg states that it takes only from
6 to s minutes to milk two cows with
this machine, whereas by hand it
takes from twenty to twenty-five min
utes. One man can milk as many cows
with this machine as three men cen by
hand, he says. It is also perfectly
sanitary. The container into which
the milk flows is covered and the cover
is held firmly in place by the COM
pressed air suction, so that long as
the machine is connected to the pipes
and the engine is pumping air it is
impossible to spill the contents or to
remove the cover.
Mr.. Hagberg is we'll pleased with
the work done by the machine and
considers it money as we'll as labor
saving device. The total investment
is about $3.50, including the engine
and pipes.

u|NDBERCH SAYS MODIFY LID
CONGRESSMAN DISCf.AIMS IN
TENT TO ASK REPEAL OF +
INDIAN TREATY

Minneapolis Journal ~: Congress
man G.. A. Lindbergh did not mean to
favor repeal Of the Indian treaty
"lid' provision in a former statement
on that question, he declares in a let
ter made public in Washington today.
1t is addressed to J. j. Opsahl Of Be-
midi, who wrote criticising Mr.. Lind
bergh 8 position. Mr.. Lindbergh now
says he used the word "repeal'' in
haste, when he should have said emo
|dify.'' "The treaty. he informs Mr..
Opsahl, "was a contract and congress
cannot be expected to repeal what
amounts to spirit of the contract. No
bill should be offered that would so
modify the treaty as to admit saloons
or the manufacture Of liquor. I am
opposed to the satoen. business sexa41I
where and was elected with that un7
derstanding." - -, o ~. -, ~. X
The -counties in the treaty territory,
he contends, ought to vote dry under
the state county option law, so it
would not be necessary to have fed
eral authorities keep liquor out.
Mr.. Lindbergh again refuses to set
at rest rumors that he will run for re-
election to congress or for United
States senator. The especial >privi-
lege interests,' he says, fear he will
run for the senate. IT did not ex-
pect,' he says, "to worry them with
my candidacy this year, but when I
do voluntarily retire from the field it
will not be at time when am under
fire.'
