DR.. M. B. Wood Wants Asso-
citation In This County
'WHAT'S DONEELSEWHERE
He Has Just Returned From An
Interesting Nesting At
Saltwater
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
DR.. M. B. Wood has returned from
Saltwater where he attended the an
nual meeting of the Livestock Breed
ers' association, which was held Tues
day in the rooms of the Saltwater
Commercial club, and office of the
county agent Breeders of different
kinds of stock held meetings in diff
ferent rooms, and after luncheon a
general meeting of all breeders was
held in the large assembly room, and
program of timely speeches was Civ
en- by prominent men present. The
annual banquet was omitted on &C
count of war conditions DR.. Wood
gave talk to the Guernsey breeders
at their meeting during the forenoon,
and also addressed the open meeting
the same afternoon. The meeting as
a whole proved a very profitable and
successful gathering.
Blue Earth County Should Organize.
DR.. Wood said today, why Cannot
Blue Earth county hold such meet
ings and organize the live stock in
terests | believe that those who
UIccu uOI0Co, CdlJlC, SWlHC anu
poultry would find organization
greatly to their advantage, and at least
two hundred members could be OBJ
tanned in the county.
Methods of publicity could be de-
vised to let prospective purchasers
know of the different lines of pure
bred stock in the county, and this
knowledge might induce men to breed
better stock. At the present time few
farmers are posted on where to 60,
or send for stock, and often good
stock can be obtained near home for
less money than it would take to have
il shipped in AT William Galloway's
sale of Ayrshires at Waterloo, Ia, on
January %, c. P Christianson of Lake
Crystal bought Cavaliers Merry Lad
for 1925, and Good Gifts Buntee for
$500 think these are the first pure
bred Ayrshires to be brought into the
county for many years. About forty
years ago Mr.. Fleet had large herd
of Ayrshires near Lake Crystal, and
for many years the blood could be
traced in the cows in that vicinity. The
Ayrshire is handsome and good COW,
and is popular"

DRIVER WAS CUSS[D
TALKED FOR TtUT0hS
Claimed That General Hinden.
burg Would Be In Paris In
Few Weeks
From Mondays Daily.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. February TO-
After listening to an address before
the Linn County Teachers institute
yesterday by John M. Driver, of Chi
cago, several instructors in attendance
appealed to the United States mar
shall to prevent Driver from speaking
again in this state on the ground that
his address was strongly pro-German.
Representatives of the marshal con-
ferred with Driver and the objection
able utterances were stricken out.
Driver, in his speech here, is al
legged to have lauded the German
people, including the emperor, saying
that Germany would win the war
and that Won Hindenburg would be
in Paris in few weeks.
Many of the teachers in attendance
declared they believed there had been
an organized attempt to introduce
pro- German sentiments into the
meeting. They alleged that j. Adams
Puffer, of Hudson, Mass, who spoke
at the meeting, had conducted boys
meeting at which he had belittled
West Point and Annapolis and dis
couraged his hearers from becoming
students at those institutions.
Those in Mankato who read the
above dispatch wondered if the Driv-
er mentioned is the same Rev. John
M. Driver who was several years ago
pastor of the Centenary Methodist
church in this city.
