THE SNOW STORM
BLOCKED ROADS
Sunday Saw an Old Fashioned
Blizzard Sweep ping Over
Northwest

This community, together with 9TH
er places in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and the Dakotas was visited by one Of
the worst snow storms AMI blizzards
OF recent years, starting last Saturday
night and continuing thruout Sunday
and a portion of that night. Accom-
panying a fairly heavy fall of fine
snow, was a piercing wind from the
north, which drifted the snow in plac-
es to a depth of many feet, making it
almost impossible to get around.
The storm spent itself late in the
afternoon Of Sunday, and during the
evening it abated to great degree.
Monday dawned with clear skies, but
with temperature lowering around
the 23 below zero mark. The greater
part of that day was spent in clear
ing sidewalks, leveling drifts in the
streets. where in some places the
snow was so deep that traffic was al
most impossible, and in a general way
recovering from the effects of the sea-
sons worst blizzard
Traffic on the Great Northern was
practically at a standstill all day.
Coast train No. 2, due in here at four
forty-five, arrived about nine-thirty,
while the west bound mail train was
some eight hours late, arriving about
seven p. m. The south bound train
on the Sioux City division, due to
leave here at 1925 a. m. Sunday, was
annulled. The only road running out
of Minneapolis, which succeeded in
getting trains thru, was the Great
Northern, and No. 9, the Winnipeg
flyer, refused to accept passengers
whose destination was beyond Litch-
field.
The Sioux City division trains
scheduled for Monday morning were
both annuued. The afternoon passen-
ger from the south finally arrived here
about seven o'clock, it being neces-
sary to hold the southbound train un.
til the other one came thru with a
snow plOw. The fast mail train due
here at ten forty-nine Monday morn
ing arrived at one a. m. the following
day, and likewise trains from the west
ranged from six to eight hours late
altho there was not as heavy fall o1
snow. nor as much wind accompany
ing it, in North Dakota.
1t was necessary to use double head
ers in the local yards, Monday to &C
complish anything in the way O.
switching.
At that we were more fortunate
than some other localities. South O
here, between Marshall and Pipestone
a great deal more snow fell, and Min
neapolis was visited by the heavies
. fall since the government station wa
installed there.

100 HolSTE|N COWS
TO Be SOLD FEB. 10.
heuer's Next Sale VIII Be
Held at Fairgrounds at
WiAinar.

Heller's next sale of Holstein cat
tie will be held at the fairgrounds at
Willmar, Feb. 10 when one hundred
purebred and grade Holstein cows will
be sold at auction. Mr.. Heller il push
ing his Holstein campaign with char
acteristic v1gor and enthusiasm, and
deserves and Is getting the support of
the people Of the county. The idea of
using the county fairgrounds for sales
of live stock has been advanced from
the time the grounds were acquired,
but Mr.. Heller is the first individual
to actually put on such a sale there.
We hope he will succeed, and that the
success of the sale will give such an
impetus to the idea that an up-to- date
sale ring and barn will be built there
to encourage the holding of sales Of
purebred stock at Willmar. Sec Mr..
Heller's ad. on Page Eight of this pa

POULTRY SHOW OPENS
next WEDNESDAY
Fine Quarters Have Been Se-
cured in the Handy-Lewis
Garage.

Next Wednesday the Sixth Annual
Poultry Exhibition at Willmar will be
put on by the Kandiyohi County Poul-
try Association. The question of a
suitable location was happily solved
by the securing Of the south half of
the Handy Lewis Motor Company gar
age which extends from Benson to
Litchfield avenues. This will make
fine and roomy exhibition hall, we'll
Iighted, heated and ventilated. The
entries are coming in at a satisfactory
rate, and everything points to a large
showing Of the best in poultry.
No admission will be charged this
year, and it is to be hoped that every
body will make a call and see the
feathered aristocracy. \ special invi
tation is made to every farmer who
comes to town next week to come over
and view the exhibit.
The object Of the show is to awaken
more interest in better poultry bust
ness so that more people will discard
the scrubs and mixed breeds and get
something that will produce more
eggs and more uniform birds for the
market.
Three silver cups will be competed
for. The Mayors Cup. donated by
Hon. E. C. Wellin. one cup offered by
the New London Milling Company and
one by the Central Minnesota Produce
Company. The cash prizes offered are
very liberal and will draw exhibits
from far and near.
The Judge will be A. c. Smith of St.
Paul, one of the best and most favor
ably known experts on the feathered
tribe in the country.
Come out and see the birds!

Six years. study of dairy operations on
over thir rty farms in different parts Of Min
nesota, showed Prof. Cooper, of the State
Experimental Station, that danying is most
profitable in the "Holstein Section" of the
State. For 1905, the average profit per
COW, was $10.10; for 1909 it was $48.45
per COW.
Increase of profit wa. due to improv-
ed herds, purebred registered Holstein
sires having been substituted for grades.
When dairying is put on a systematic ba-
sis, the Holstein COW comes to the front
fast.
The Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska Ex-
perimental Stations report that in their
competitive tests, the Holsteins made a
larger gain per steer at less cost per
pound of either rouehage or grain than
any of the other breeds. As voluminous
and profitable mixers and as valuable
beef cattle when their milking days are
over. Holsteins are firmly establieAed as
the leading dual-purpose cows.

Anu Ola1ue IL on U8 OOy8,
They'll talk and scream and say bad
words.
l seem to hear the noise!
And say, fellers, that is not all
No, there is something worse,
For they will break the band saw
And undoubtedly will curse.
The teacher then will have a spell
And surely'll bawl them out;
OF course, we boys, well laugh at
them;
What happens If we shout.
That's something that l cannot tell
But surely dread to see!
Just watch them, boys! because I
know
They'll fix both you and me.
And when they are graduated
What shall become of US.
When they with the contractors
Begin to make fuss?
They will agree to work at least
Fifteen hours a day,
To say nothing of the bossing
Or what they want to pay.
And we will get the worst of it,
And will loaf around tn ) street.
Because we cannot find some work
| Nor anything to eat. -.

There are no greater fools.

All they know came from reading

The nails right on the head.
When the hammer slides to every sid
And hits their thumbs instead.

Benson Defeats Seminary.

The Seminary basket ball team
journeyed to Benson Monday after
noon and in the evening were beaten
by the Benson town team. The score
<vas Al to II, but the game was not
as one-sided as the count might indi-
cate. 1t was not that Benson out
classed the visiting team to such
degree, that accounted for the differ
ence in the score, but rather the ner-
vousness and inexperience on the part
of the Seminary men which hindered
them in their efforts to shoot baskets.
They had as many shots as the home
team, but failed to make them count
with the regularity the winners did.
The first half was decided walk
iaway for Benson. but in the second
Iperiod, the Seminary came back
lstronger and made the game interest
ling.
4 The team was weakened some by
Hne loss Of Hatlestad, who missed the
brain. Following is the score:
