call. He gave them few sincere
words of admonishment as we'll as of
good cheer and assured them that the
people Of Kandiyohi County were with
them in thought, in loyal support and
prayer.
Rev. Nicolay Nilsen, pastor of the
Lutheran Free church, was the Sec
ond speaker. He used as a text for
his remarks to the soldier boys the
first verse of the Goth chapter of the
Book OF Deuteronomy when thou
goest out to battle against thine ene-
mics, and seest horses and chariOts
and people more than thou, be not
afraid Of them, for the Lord, Thy
God is with thee" He said the Lord
was on our side in this great war and
Of the final outcome there is no Ques-
ton. He bade the boys Godspeed.
John Georgeson was called on and
made fifteen minute speech. AS an
old soldier who had been thru the
mill he told the boys first to always
obey their officers; second to be brave

rap or two and glorifed the memory

represents the investment Of boys,
boys who have in their hearts the
same tender thoughts and instincts
for home and loved ones. But they
are willing to pay the last full meas
ure of devotion for us. The cross re-
presents an investment and so it is
precious in the sight of God.
The speaker then spoke of invest
ment from two view points. The view
point of purpose-and then the view
purpose always colors the activities
Of life and there should be but a single
purpose. 1.-The purpose of education
IS not for the acquiring of facts nor
for culture alone but for service and
if it fails in this, it fails in its one
great purpose.
There are dangers concerned with
the question of investment, and 80
there are dangers involved in the
question OF life as an Investment
lust, greed, se1fishness. Herein is
my wish that on this day you conse-
crate yourself to a purpose unfalter-
ing as was that of Christ That more
and mere you will try to use your
powers for the good, and that you
may ask that you may shine clearer,
farther, deeper into the darkness of
the worlds need"
DR.. Jones then told OF reading some
years ago of party of men who were
lost for some time in the cold arctic
regions of the north. They had but
one match, and their whole future
depended upon the lighting of this
one match. They took all the care
they could to see that the one match
did not go out. So are we given but
one life, and we are to see that it is
not neglected as an investment.
"Only the gain of the harvest
is ours
Shall we plant thistles or shall
we plant flowers"
May God give us a noble purpose
to serve Him.
Revs. L. c. Benson, F. n. Oeh1er
and Paul Hallin assisted with the
service. A vocal solo Eye Hath Not
Seen; Ear Hath Not Heard was rend-
cred by Miss Myrtle E. Olson. An
anthem "Great and Marvellous are
Thy Works" was given by a Chorus
and three hymns were sung by the
audience.
The auditorium was well filled with
an audience of over 900 people. The
service was an impressive one.

that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM

come from the other side Of the earth
they are sons of a deeply religious

fish dominion Of the far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most Of them with boards, and
In perfection of drill and military bear
ing they are not excelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods of fighting
are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian Is a
flexible unit, there Is one thing In
which they are, very much alike. As a
humorous English writer--Punch and
its punsters still live-puts 1t:
II have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians of the East and the
Indians Of the West, and while they
are very dissImilar In most things,

are other considerations such as conye-

soiling crops are grown.
Protection Against Rats.
The excavation for the walls may be
just deep enough to go below frost.
For concrete or cement walls make the
trench just the width necessary to hold
the wall material but after the trench
is done make a course Of three-inch
tile. This answers the double pur-
pose of carrying Off surplus water and
preventing rats from undermining the
wall. Rats viii dig down at the side
of the wall until they come to an OBJ
structiOn; they win follow the obstruc-
tion along close to the wall. but never

the trap.
After the walls are finished the
grading for the floor comes next In or

position of the intake for fresh air,

Of the cement hangers, inclInes Of
the floor In which the cattle stand, the
gutter and the walk behind the cows.
Besides the cross section the managers
and cutters incline with the length Of
the stable. In order to locate all these
points a good many grade stakes are
necessary. They are set carefully to
and driven down until
the tops come right for the grade. It
Is easier to do this work before the
building is erected.
One point TO be remembered is that the
wall should not extend much above the

collect In the inner side or warmer
side of the wall especially In winter.
Low Buildings Best

stables low becAuse lighter material
may be used in their construction. A
dairy stable should have a low ceiling
to facilitate ventilation. Seven feet
is high enough for ceiling but eight
feet looks better If the stable is long.
and where there are a good many cows
together there is no objection to an
eight-foot ceiling. A good deal de-
ponds on the number of cows kept.
The principle of ventilation depends
on the circulation Of air. Warm air
is lighter than cold air and 1t natu-
rally goes up. In order to ventllate
a stable we must get animals enough
In 1t to warm the air. There is little
or no circulation In a cold room. For
the ventilation to work right the tenn
perature In a stable should not 60

the air In at the center in front Of
the cows where the cows may breathe

hot breath Of the cows goes to the
ceiling, spreads In all directions to the
sides of the roof while 1t loads up with
impurities, and finally settles to the
floor at the sides of the stable where
It is drawn Off by the ventil4tors and
sent out through the roof. In order
for the ventllating system to work
right the stable must be practically
alright around the sides and ceiling
and the doors must At well.

milk supply Is now traced to Its
source, the cows examined thoroughly

or indifference has led the dairyman
to disobey the state sanitary require
ments he is not permitted to ship milk
until he satisfies the inspector that he
has mended his ways.
In the northern climate, warmer
stables have for years occupied the
attention of our best farmers and
stockmen. Bank barns were the out
growth of a desire to provide comfort
able stables that were both warmer
and better. The convenience Of having
all stock under one roof, tucked care
fully away from the cold, with plenty
Of feed overhead ready at all times
to find its way to the hangers and
food racks by gravity, proved very al
