BOXVILLE FARMERS
CLUB OYSTER SUPPER

The Boxville Farmers Club held
an oyster supper and program at
the school house on Wednesday ev-
ening, March 14th. Owing to the
fact that the sleighing was fine and
the weather ideal, the building was
filed to its utmost capacity. A
special program was rendered at
this meeting and consisted of the
following numbers:
Adress of Welcome, President j.
S. Hilleboe; Vocal Duet, Messrs.
Prytz and Myhre; Play, "Six Drops
of Chocolate, Warren high school
students; Instrumental Duet, The
Misses Inga Taralseth and Mabel
Lundgren; Talk, Mr. R. c. Mathwig.
Each number Of the program was
very much appreciated by the large
and attentive audience. Following
the program came the supper and
social hour. Tickets for over two
hundred plates were sold and fish
pond in one corner of the assembly
room furnished amusement for both
old and young. Those who so de-
sired participated in dancing the
Virginia Reel and playing various
games. The receipts for the. even
ing amounted to a trife over nine
ty-three dollars.
In the wee small hours the Jolly
crowd disbanded, wishing the Box
vile club success and prosperity
without end.

A wrestling match was staged at
the opera house Tuesday evening by
Nels Moe, 1856, Of Plentywood
Mont, and Christ Hansen, 215, of
Mitchell, S. D. Only a few lovers
Of the sport were present to witness
the bout, but those few who were
there were shown a most exciting
and clever game. Hansen secured
the first fall in % minutes by means
of body scissor hold. Moe, how
ever, came back strong and threw
his opponent twice in succession,
first fall in IL minutes, the result
of an arm crusher hold, and the
second in Is minutes. The last fall
Moe got through combination
hold Of body-lock and arm crusher.
Mr.. Noes challenge still holds good
and that he will meet any man and
of any weight.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
EMPIRE BUILDER

At the meeting Of the Boxville
Farmers Club last Wednesday ev-
ening, Mr.. R. G. Mathwig of this
city was called upon for remarks.
He responded with a neat speech
in which he paid eloquent tribute
to James j. Hill, whose life and
achievements were reviewed in a
most interesting manner. Mr.. Hills
early struggles, his industry, per-
severence, enterprise, foresight and
integrity were dwelt upon by the
speaker and cited as traits worthy
Of emulation by the young men Of
today. He saw clearly the wonder
full opportunities that were open to
a man Of ambition and energy in a
new and undeveloped country and
he turned his great talents toward
the development of it's vast re-
sources, confident that his own re-
ward would come in due time. Mr..
Hill realized fully the importance
of the farmer in our economic life
and he did much to encourage ag-
riculture in the state and in the ma
tion. Hundreds of experimental
plots were maintained by him along
his lines Of railway for the sole
purpose of assisting the farmers to
solve intelligently the many pro-
blems that confront them in the con-
duct Of their business. It was not
an altogether unselfish act on his
part, as. he fully understood that
if the farmers would prosper, his
railways would also prosper. Mr..
Hill never tried to build himself up
by tearing down others. In his
early career as a railway man, Mr..
Hill was not understood, and his eff
forts and motives were often criti-
cised and misiudged. but in later
years the public without hardly a
dissenting voice regarded him as a
public benefactor. M. Mathwig's
speech was much appreciated by all
members Of the club, both old and
young.

Angus Church News.

"Safety First" is a very good
motto. It is wise not to take un4.
necessary risk. It is safe to go to
church. It is dangerous to stay
away. Why this is so will be exa
planned at the Presbyterian church
next Sunday at the service Of Wor-
ship which will be held at 1880.
During the sermon an answer will
be given to the question (Which
Church ought I to belong to-"
Sunday school will be held at
1880, where the children will be
taught something about their best
Friend. Let everybody 60. The

FAREWELL RECEPTION TO
REV. F. N. ANDERSON

A farewell reception was given
to Rev. F. NJ Anderson and family
at the Swedish Lutheran church on
Thursday evening Of last week, by
the members of his congregation
and large number of other friends
in the city. A short and appropri-
ate program was rendered which in
cluded a pipe organ solo by Miss
Ella Lundgren and two solos bv
Miss Lille Anderson. Rev. j. w.
Lundgren. Of Alvarado, who was
present at the occasion, delivered a
fine address apnreciative of Rev.
Anderson and his work as a pastor
and friend. He called special at
tention to the valuable service he
had rendered North Star College
when as its field secretary he sue
ceeded in raising over $4,000 to
wipe out The Indebtedness of the
institution and save it from finan-
cial ruin. He also expressed deep
regrets that Rev. Anderson should
leave the district and the state and
wished his success and Gods bless
ing in his new field of labor. When
Rev. Lundgren had concluded his
sneech, Mr.. J. P. Mattson arose and
directed a few words of appreciation
to the pastor and his family and
also presented to him on behalf of
the congregation and other friends
an envelope containing $191.OO.
Rev. Anderson arose and replied
with much feeling, saying he was
glad to see so many present and
thanked all for their kindness. He
reviewed briefly his work as pastor
since coming here nearly five years
ago, told Of his great love and at
ta':hment for the congregation and
closed by wishing Gods blessing
over all in the years to come. At
the conclusion Of the program, re-
freshments were served in the
church basement and a social hour
enjoyed. When leaving for their
respective homes each one bade an
affectionate farewell to the pastor
and his family. Rev. Anderson will
move to his new field at Washing
ton, D. c., the latter part of this
month. One reason why the call to
Washington was accepted was that
they may be near thoir son Lincoln,
who is a cadet in the naval acad-
emy at Annapolis.

Obituary.

George Friedrich Leslie, son of j..
M. and Mary Barbara Leslie, was
born in Buffalo county, Wisconsin,
Aug. 9 1874. He died at Asbury
hospital, Minneapolis, Friday, March
is, at noon, age AZ years, Z months
and z days.
Deceased leaves an aged father
at Minneapolis and the following
brothers and sisters: Fred of Min
neapolis, Mrs. Fred Lenhart Of Ka-
dunn, Mrs. Fred Schumacher OF
Drayton, N. D., William, Charlie
and j. NJ, Of Radium. Mr.. Leslie
came with his parents from Wiscon-
sin, in the spring Of 1880, and grew
up to manhood and engaged in
farming at the age Of 21. On ac-
count Of failing health he retired
from farming and spent some time
in travelling for the benefit OF his
health. Last year he and brother
Charlie, spent the winter at Hot
Springs, Arkansas. He gained
much benefit from this health re
sort and came to Minneapolis, and
in the fall visited among his
brothers and sisters at Radium. He
was a member Of the German Luth-
eran church, being confirmed Marcf
%, 1896. All brothers and sisters
were in attendance at the funeral
except one brother Fred, who was
ill and unable to attend. Buria

:. the hearts Of relatives and friend
who learned to know him and +
love him.

GROW YOUR SEED
ON YOUR FARM.

49, =
Some days since man said, "I
looked at my oats; they are very
light so am going to buy my seed y
This man was sincere in wishing to
get good seed but his plan may be
open to question since his produc-
tion was more than fifty bushels per
acre, considerably higher than the
state average, and his crop was
grown in northeastern Minnesota,
which suffered less from rust and
blight than the prairie districts.
Consequently, his oats are good for
seed.
Where does the seedman get his
stock? Assuming that he is a high
class merchant, he either grows or
has grown for him certain approved
strains. These are threshed and run
through the tanning mill, once for
choice seed and twice for select seed.
The original cost Of the stock, ship
ping charges, the milling and bag
ging, the freight to consumer and a
margin of profit are all added to-
gether. The farmer buys the seed
and pays the bill.
The moral is evident; it applies
to potatoes as we'll as grains. Grow
good strain Of barley, oats or po-
tatoes, do the grading for seed your
self, and save your money. It is
common practice to feed the home
grown oats and then to buy seed
This is hardly profitable when feed
ing oats ordinarily sell at forty
cents bushel and seed oats at from
eighty cents to $1.00. Potatoes are
profitable at $1.5O a bushel, but they
are also expensive to buy back fo1
seed at $500 to $3.50 when they are
uncertain stock at that. On the
other hand, it hardly pays to plant
the seed potatoes or sow the oats
directly from the bin regardless o.
grades when it has been repeatedly
demonstrated that for the labor Of
selection man is repaid by approx
imately Is or Is per cent in crol
yields.
No investment except little
mental and physical effort is re
quired in selecting seed potatoes
! while a small tanning mill is ligh
investment for a farmers club.

The cow testing club was organ
lied November first with the idea to
interest boys in dairying and test
ing Of dairy cows. Five boys en-
rolled, Olof Halvorson, Selmer Hill
leboe;, Herbert BOSNIAN, Robert

contest was held for four months
beginning November first to March
first. The boys were to weigh the
milk twice a day, after each milk
ing, and were to keep track of the
feeding, both as to amount and cost.
and to test the milk every two
weeks. The work has been very in
structive and interesting to the boys
and has proved to be an experiment
in proper feeding and care Of dairy
cows. The contest is now finished
and the papers have been sent to

couragement. the De Laval Separ-
