The FIRST ROBIN
OLSTAD SPED THE HAIR
BINGER OF SPRING
YESTERDAY.

That h~arbinger of spring, the rob
in, eagerly sought in this northern
climate as a sign of release from the
rigors of winter, was observed yes
terday by little Grace Olstad, daugh-
ter of c. K. Olstad, president of the
First National bank, in the gardens
of their home in First street NV,
who reported to The Daily Leader
the welcome arrival of the little
stranger.
This individual bird must be even
more venturesome and aggressive
than most of even his early kind.
He has me spring more than half
way, for it is very evident he does
not consult his comfort in his efforts
to be the early bird.
This is more than two weeks ear
lier than the robin generally arrives
in this section, the first usually be-
ing reported from the 10th to the
goth of March.

COURSE AT RAMONA, CLOS
ING THIS EVENING.

Ramona, March special The
farmers short course has been in
progress here since last Monday.

best of condition the attendance has
been remarkable and the interest all
that could have been desired.
The corps of extension workers,
Mr.. Mccall, Mr.. Morrison and Miss
Wimple, have given lectures that
have been very satisfactory and in
structive, and at the same time prac-
ticable, the general comment among
those attending the sessions being to
the effect that the information given
by these efficient workers was the
right kind TO be put in practice.
The attendance has ranged around
800 at the daily sessions.

the automobile, the manufacture of
carpet, the manufacture of shoes and
the manufacture and laying of as

More than 300 articles were en-
tered in the exhibits. Prizes will be
