$4,000 Ford tractors. He is now
working on from 6, ZOO to 1000 for
England, and all of these will have
to be delivered before Americas de-
mand is met. Mr.. Ford said that he
was taking advantage of the present
fine weather in making the tests, and
that in short time, several of these
tractors would be moved to the South
for test work there. He laughingly
said that he was 81 years old, but
believed that in his present condition
he was capable Of running farther
and running faster than any 34-year~
old man in Detroit. AS indicating
the work he is doing he told OF rising

FRIENDS OF o. B. BOOBAR
PRESENT HIM WITH CANE
AS TOKEN OF HIGH REGARD

Shortly after the recent city cleo
ton o. B. Boobar, an ardent dry ad-
vocate was arrested, chargedwith vio-
lating the election laws in distribu-
ton of literature. The Herald under
stands that the municipal judge of
this city refused to issue a warrant, SO
the complaint was made before a JUS
tice of the peace in ST. Cloud. Mr..
Boobar appeared before the court, adj
mitted that he had circulated the lit
erature and the court assessed fine
of $500 and costs, amounting in all to
about S18. Friends of Mr.. Boobar to
the number of about 20, just to show
him that they still regarded him as a
good citizen, regardless of the court
findings, dubbed together and raised
funds to buy him gold-headed cane.
The walking stick was suitably in
scribed and Friday afternoon of last
week these friends gathered at the
Commercial Club rooms where Hon. F.
M. Eddy in a characteristic speech,
presented Mr.. Boobar with this token
of confidence and esteem, which the
latter gentleman gracefully accepted
ina few we'll chosen words.

UNWELCOME GUESTS

Reports have reached the Herald
that a number of depredations have
been committed at several of the cot
tages at Little Birch lake during the
winter and early spring months. Re-
Gently one of the owners drove out to
the lake to get their cottages in shape
for occupancy and he discovered that
all of the locks had been removed. A
butter wrapper from the Melrose
creamery indicated quite clearly that
the guests were from that city. About
the same time another Sank Centre
owner drove. out and found three
young couple from Melrose in possess
sion. The mere occupancy of the cot
tages would not be so bad, although
much nerve is required to take possess
sion of another's property without
permission, but in several instances
theer has been wanton destruction of
property.
