Several more organizations have re-
ported favorably on the primary cleo
tion bill, which has been sent out by
the State Federation of Labor, but re-
ports of the locals are coming in very
slowly, and it is impossible at this
time to determine the fate Of the
proposition. Many believe, however
that the measure will receive an en-
dorsement from more than enough
local organizations affiliated with the

home they were asked to step into

wanted on an important matter.
The house was dark except the din
ing room. They came into the hall
and chatted few moments, inquir-
ing what was wanted, as they wish
ed to get home. They were urged to
remove their wraps, and not to be in
such a hurry. This they refused to
do. Just then the lights were switch
ed on, displaying to the astonished
gentleman and his good wife,

gathered to remind them that they
had walked the path of life hand in
hand for twenty years. It is hardly
necessary to state that they sudden
ly decided to remain. Some time
was spent visiting. The Bride and
Groom were given seats of honor
and a dainty lunch was served after
which Mr.. Powell, in behalf of their

Soon after, with many congratula-

CORN OF 100 PER CENT
TERMINATION RAISED HERE.

The Spaulding farm has just made
a termination test of some seed corn
of the Northwestern Dent variety,
raised on the farm last year, and the
result showed a termination of 100
per cent. The field Of corn that this
was gathered from got ripe. and
made over so bushels to the acre.
It is a well known fact that Northern
Minnesota is becoming a corn coun-
try, and we believe that it will not
be many years until each farm will
have it's corn crib, the same as the
states farther south.
We have seen a great deal in the
farm papers this winter about the
scarcity of seed corn all over the
country and the low termination test
of what was offered for sale. In
fact, most of the corn in the great
corn growing states was nipped by
the early frost last fall The fact
that here in Marshall county fully
|matured corn was grown, and in adj
dition to that, corn shows 100 per
cent termination by actual soil
tests the nearest approach to natural
conditions will be a revelation to
many who have not considered this
corn country. At a not distant
day corn is bound to become one OF
the staple crops Of the Red River
Valley farmer.

w. C. Miller, Of town of McCrea,
is firm believer in stock raising as
a profitable industry in the Mime
sofa Red River Valley, and he is
doing all he can to interest farmers
in keeping better stock. At the
Dixon Combination Sale last week
Mr.. Miller sold to farmers two
registered short horn bull calves at
price of S125 each. On Monday
this week, Mr.. Miller left for Mus
catine Iowa, to attend two big auc-
tion sales Of pure bred Polled Dur
ham cattle, and he will get the best
that money can buy for improving
his own herd. It is efforts like these
that count and that will help make
this valley as far famed for its
splendid live stock as for it's No. 1
hard wheat.

Minnesota bids fair to be cheated
out of a donation by the Federal
government of all unsurveyed is
lands. Some years ago such islands
in Wisconsin were given to the state
by the government. In the attempt
to obtain similar action for Mime
sofa the forest service had Senator
Knute Nelson introduce a bill pro-
viding for the giving of the islands
to Minnesota.

try beard from Senator Nelson is

the Interior, proposes an amendment
to the bill which would provide that
all the islands for summer resorts be
sold to individuals and the remainder
sold to the state for $1.25 an acre.

PEACE CLAIMED
TO BE IN SIGHT.

Washington, D. c., March 2S.-A
Washington dispatch says:
'Verdun will not fall. The day be-
fore it is to fall, the first steps to-
ward peace will be taken. Peace,
when it comes, will come as sudden
ly as the war started. This is the
meaning Of the gathering of officials
Of highest degree at Paris, from
Fnelnnd, Rpssiat Ito75yvs JapaE; and
France. No student of European af-
fairs and Of this war can place any
other Interpretation on the great
meeting."
This succinct statement came as
the result of an attempt to ascertain
from the best authorities available
here the German view of the meeting
Of the political and military leaders
of the allies, which began at Paris
Monday. The speaker was not the
German ambassador, but one who
has access to practically equal in
formation as far as Germany and
her point of view is concerned
Stocks Take Drop.
"When Ribot, French minister of
finance 10 days ago stated in ap-
proximate terms that the hour for
peace draws near, the stocks of the
war babies on the exchange in New
York took a sudden and decided
drop. That was the first intimation
the world had received of the posi-
bic sudden end of hostilities. This
meeting called at Paris is the next.
The reason for it is to us plain, for
we know that unless peace comes,
Verdun must fall. And if permitted
to fall, the gateway into the level
plains beyond is opened and where,
then, is France? where, then, will
be the millions of British piled up in
100 parallel trenches on 40-mile
front from Calais as far back as
Boulogne and subject to flank at
tack?
