MOTHER AND CHILD
BURNED TO DEATH

Mrs. Ole Nelson and her one year
old baby lost their lives in a fire which
destroyed the family home bout three
miles northwest of Highlanding, in
Pennington county week before last.
The baby was asleep alone in the
house while the mother was engaged
in planting potatoes in the garden close
by. A neighbor, Albert Thorson, who
was plowing in field about a quarter
Of mile away, noticed the fire in the
Nelson home, the smoke pouring from
the roof, and he Immediately unhitch-
ed horse and rode to the place as
quickly as he could. While some dis
tance from the house he saw Mrs.
Nelson rush into the burning building
and Immediately came out again, evi-
IDENTIFY driven back by the flames.
Crazed, probably, by the thought that
her baby was in the house, she gain
rushed in before Mr.. Thorson could get
near enough to prevent her. When he
arrived the house was seething mass
of flames and nothing could be done
to rescue the unfortunate victims in
side from whom life must already
have fed The father was away from
home at the time helping another
farmer with the spring work. He is
left alone with three other children,
only one Of which is of school age.
The sad accident has cast a gloom oven
the entire community.

o'clock The fire was discovered in the
boiler room about s o'clock by James

ployed as helper in the creamery.
Assistance was instantly summoned.
but all efforts to subdue the flames
were unavailing and by nine o'clock
the building and all it's contents was a
mass of smouldering ruins.
The stock Of the Farmers Store

Pleasantly Surprised.

Mrs. N. e. Bystrom was very pleas
antly surprised on Saturday afternoon
of last week by the ladies Of the Swed-
ish Lutheran church and many other
friends In some way she was enticed
to the basement Of the Swedish Luth-
eran church where to her great aston
ishment she saw her friends assembled.
Prof. G. e. Sjostrand acted as spokes-
man and in well chosen words explain
ed the meaning of all this Her
friends wanted to meet with her in this
friendly manner before she left for
Montana to make her home, and as a
token Of the esteem of her lady friends
and in their behalf he presented to her
a beautiful silver vase and plateau.
Mrs. Bystrom has been an active mem
ber of the Swedish Lutheran Ladies
Aid during the many years she has
had her home in the city, and her re
moval will be a great loss to the church
and to the Aid in which she has work
ed so faithfully.

DISTRICT COURT
NOW IN SESSION
Judge Grindeland Calls Attention to
Change in Weed Laws and Necess-
ity for their Enforcement.
Grand Jury Recommends Action to
Abolish Slot Machines and
Gambling Devices.

The. term Of district court for Mar
shall county convened in this city on
Monday. In his charge to the grand
jury Judge Grindeland called attention
to the change in the weed laws made
by the last legislature. Owners or oc-
cupants of lands or lots are required to
cut weeds and grass on the half of the
public road or street abutting upon
their property twice each year. If our
county is not to be over run with foul
weeds, it is very necessary that the
weed laws Of the state be better en-
forced than they have been in the past.
The law provides that notice be given
owners or occupants of lands and lots
infested with weeds and prescribes how
to proceed against those who violate it's
provisions. The full text Of the law
is published elsewhere in this issue.
The grand jury found very little to
do, and adjourned after handing in the
following report in regard to slot ma
chimes.

WARREN OBSERVES
MEMORIAL DAY
School Children, Veterans, Soldiers,
Civic Societies, Citizens and Hun
dreds of Automobiles Form Imposing
Parade to Cemetery.

Memorial Day, as usual, was fitting
ly observed by the people Of Warren
this year. A long procession of school
children, veterans, the Warren mem
bers of the Crookston National Guard
in their neat new uniforms, civic So
cieties, citizens on foot and in hundreds
OF automobiles marched to the ceme-
terry, headed by the Warren band At
the cemetery a patriotic program that
had been arranged for by the minis
terial association Of the city, was car
ried out. Rev. n. G. w. Knudtson pre-
sided. The band rendered several pa
triotic selections and Roger Sandberg,
student Of the high school, read Lin
coins Gettysburg address in a most ex-
cellent manner. The address of the oc-
casion was delivered by Rev. D. Sam
son. 1t was an able and eloquent
effort, replete with lofty patriotic senti-
ments that stirred the hearts Of all who
truly love their country and the princi-
pies Of justice and human rights for
which it stands.
A song was rendered by the school
children. The graves of soldiers were
decorated by the children, prayer was
offered by Rev. Samson and then a
salute in honor of the dead heroes was
fired by the Warren squad of the boys
in blue, commanded by End lieutenant
McKinnon Of Crookston. While there
was tone of sadness in the exercises
from the fact that we are now at war,
yet all enjoyed and appreciated the
program. Many thanks are due the
ministerial association for taking the
initiative in arranging for the proper
observance of Memorial Day in QUE
city.

This issue of the paper will contain
the last school notes Of the 1867
term as this is the last week of school.
The pupils are all laying plans as to
what use they will put their summer
vacation. You will probably notice
that we do not use the phrase, spend
their summer vacation. The word
spend is fallen into disuse during these
busy days of preparation.
We, as pupils, wish to thank all of
the teachers for the help they have
been to us the past term and we are
indeed sorry that some Of them will
not be with us next year.
The state examinations are nearly
over now and the teachers report that
they have been fairly satisfactory.
Some of the states were unusually
long and hard.
The Seniors, who are now on the
"home stretch of their high school
life are daily receiving letters and
circulars, which advertise the merits
of some higher school of learning.
Some of the Seniors have already laid
their plans for next year. several are
going to Hamline,, Macalaster and
other colleges in the state. Some of
them are especially persistent III the

ed the fullest loyalty to the alma
mater, proving that in the former stu
dents the college has a most valuable
advertising asset. A business meeting
OF the alumni was held after the ban
quet.

THE LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

The act authorizing the Liberty Loan
Bonds of 1917 was passed April "a,
1917. It provides for the issuance of
s5,O0O,0OO,OO0 of 371a per cent bonds,
the interest payable semi-annually on
December Is and June Ia of each year.
Tne principal is repayab1e on or after
1.-THE 18th day OF June. 1882; at the
option of the Government. and if this
option is not exercised the bonds will
run full 80 years and become due June
10. 1917.
The bonds are to be sold at par: that
is. dollar for dollar. no premium and
no discount They are to be sold by
the Treasurer Of the United States
and by all Federal Reserve banks.
But all banks. National and State,
post Offices, and express companies
have been designated as agents of the
Government to receive applications for
these bonds.
What a Government Bond Is.
The Government of the United
States has two methods OF raising
money. One is by taxation. The other
is by the sale Of bonds, which is
method Of borrowing money
The Government bonds is the print
ed promise of the Government to pay
back the borrowed sum of money at a
certain time, and to pay interest on it
at regular intervals until it is repaid
The Government borrows money in
this way only after it has been given
the right to Go so by Congress approved
by the President, and the terms of the
loan are set out in the act
Back of the promise of the Govern
ment stands the honor of the Govern
ment and all its taxing resources.
Really the whole wealth of the Nation
the Government to pay.
This makes United States Govern
ment bond the safest investment in the
world. If the bond of the United
States Government is not safe, no pro-
perty in the United States is safe If
the United States can not pay it's
bonds, it is hardly probable that it will
be able to protect the citizens in their
other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are
especially attractive investments. Not
only have they this absolute safety
characteristic Of all United States
bonds but they are tax free not only
from all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently be
levied. No state, city, nor county may
tax them. The inheritance tax of the
United States and of some States may
affect them, or, rather, affect their
transfer after death of the owner by
will or by inheritance.
| Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that if the Gov
ernment issuses bonds later on during
this war at a higher rate of interest
TIE holders Of Liberty Loan Bonds will
be allowed to exchange at par their
bonds bearing the higher rate Of inter-
/ est.
