Alberta is Most Famous Village
in America But Is Neglect
ing Main Chance

Members of the Cyrus school board
and number of interested Cyrus citi-
zens came to Alberta one day last
week and spent some time looking
over the town and country. Their
mission was to inspect the Alberta
consolidated school and get such in
formation as would help them decide
upon course to be adopted at Cyrus.
While here they were shown through
the school building and the methods
of operation were explained. Figures
of cost were taken and a history of
the school was fully explained. The
party returned to Cyrus the same eve
ming and three days later Cryus voted
to consolidate. The visit of the
school board to Alberta had much to
do with the favorable outcome of the
special election. On his return home
one of the Cyrus school directors said ::
"Alberta is only about half the size
of this village, yet it boasts of one
of the finest schools of its kind in the
United States and may we'll feel proud
! over its possession. Any town ten
times the size of Alberta would have
cause to feel proud with a school like
that"
In talk delivered before teachers
at the Michigan university the first of
this week, the university president
used the Alberta school as an example
of efficiency. He told his hearers
that the Alberta school was made
possible by class of thinking and
progressive farmers who united with
a handful of a small village business
men. He also gave an outline of
the teachers manse which he did not
know had already been started. AL
berta is becoming famous.
1t has been suggested that the AL
berta commercial club get busy and
advertise the natural resources and
business opportunities existing here.
With such fine schools and so much
splendid land it would appear that a
little hustIing and publicity would do
wonders in the way of getting more
people to locate here. There are
thousands of people all over the land
who are looking for location in the
west, or in this section of Minnesota.
They are anxious to 60 where there
are good schools and community of
up-to-date and progressive people as
we have here. All that remains for
the Alberta commercial club to do is
to devise some means to let these
prospective residents know what AL
berta has, Alberta has the goods.
Why not let the world know about
it?

Sports Charge Nature Fake.

Hunters out this way who read the
wonderful story of mudhens sucking
duck eggs express serious doubts as to
the accuracy of the statements but
at the same time say such a thing is
entirely possible. No charges of ma
ture taking have been preferred but
the mudhen has many champions here.
That mudhens fight and destroy tame
ducks of tender age is acknowledged
but local naturalists Iearnedly deny
the egg sucking. One of them has
gone so far as to claim the mudnen' s
superiority over the duck for table
excellence and solemnly asserts that
mudhens are now being sold in Mime
apolis at fifty cents each where they
are in great demand among epicures
Those who are better posted, how
ever, incline to belief in the egg
sucking theory and feel certain that
no aquatic fowl, including the mud
hen, is offered for sale anywhere in
Minnesota, not openly at least.

to become very progressive singing
club. Miss Ethel Hauser was chosen
president and Glen Prickett secretary
treasurer. There is a fund provided
for Prof. Meyers expenses while he

form the operetta "The Jolly Farm
