PIONEER WOMAN PASSES AWAY.

Mrs. MART L. Lefstad, one of the
good and noble pioneer women of this
county, died on the old homestead near
Alvarado, on Jan. rs, 1919, at the age
of SO years, IL months and % days.
Mrs. Lefstad was born at Medal
Norway, Feb. 2, 1849. She emigrated to
America, coming to Ishpeming, Mich,
in 1873, where she was married that
same year to Lars X. Lefstad. They
moved to Marshall county, Minnesota,
section 2, town Of Oak Park, where the
family has lived ever since. Here de-
ceased and her husband suffered all the
hardships incident to pioneer life. The
present generation cannot understand
or appreciate the difficulties and priva-
lions that the early settlers had to con-
tend with in opening up new farm
homes in the great Northwest. We
owe debt of gratitude to the sturdy
pioneers, both men and women, who
have made the wilderness blossom as
the rose.
Mrs. Lefstad is survived by two sons,
Christ and Martin Lefstad, and by one
daughter, Miss Gunda Lefstad, all stay
ing at home. Her husband preceded
her to the better land about seventeen
years ago. She is also mourned by a
brother in Seattle and by a brother and
a sister in Norway.
The funeral was held from the house
on Jan. 80, at 1 90 p. M, conducted by
Rev. Brekke, Of AlvaradO, and inter
ment made in Mesopotamea cemetery,
near by.
After an active and useful life, the
noble pioneer woman has found rest
fro mher labors.? She will be long re.
membered in the home and the com
munity which she has helped to up
build. Peace to her memory.

The Women at
Farm Crops Show

Those in charge Of the wOmen's part
in the Farm Crops Show to be held at
Crookston, February 1914, are very
eager that all women in the community
should be acquainted with the excellent
program in time so that they may take
advantage of the features that meet
their needs AS has been the custom
before, the afternoon meetings will be
held in the Presbyterian church and
exhibits will be arranged in the base
ment which will be sufficiently varied
to instruct all who attend. There is to
be Child Welfare exhibit which will
include all foods suitable and insult
able for children of different ages, a
model layette, also an exhibit of chill
dren's books, toys and games. There
will be an exhibit of equipment neces-
sary for serving hot lunch in rural
schools. Other exhibits will be dried
vegetables, with drying frames in Op-
GRAFTON, and reconstructed garments.
The keynote of the program this
wear is reconstruction. Such popular
speakers as Miss Mae Secrest, Mrs.
Mabel Sewal, Mrs. Hayle G. Cavanor,
Mrs. G. J. Allen, Pres. Burton and
others have been definitely secured.
There are also several special features
which will be of unusual interest. Polk
county was ,honored this year by hav-
ing Erskine win the state champion
ship in bread making and Mcintosh
win the northern division champion
ship in canning. Both of these teams
will give demonstrations at the meet
ings.
Contests in baking, canning, and sew
ing will be new features. Public judg-
ing Of all articles will take place at one
OF the afternoon meetings. In addition,
the women are planning to hold hat
clinic. Miss Katheryn Ingebrand, Of St.
Paul, will be in charge and every wo-
man in the Red River Valley should
avail herself Of the opportunity to
obtain real practical instruction in re-
novating and remaking her own hats.
Bring your old hat and old materials
and see what new creation you can
make from them. The program is at
tractive and the success Of the week
is already assured. Plans are being
made to provide meeting places that
will accommodate the crowds that are
expected at the women's meetings.

Later, religious element was i'm

Australian Church becoming the

One hundred and thirteen
conscientious objectors" who
have been serving sentences at
the military prison at Fort Leav-

ces committed and will be re-
turned to private life as soon as
possible. We do not presume
that they will be what is COM
monty termed as "honorably
discharged" i.
We have been told by a re-
turned army officer who has
seen service overseas that the
most effective method of "cur-
ing" conscientious objectors
was to put them in the front
line. He said. when the
slackers found they were actu-
ally being made targets by the
huns, they almost invariably
had a change of heart. grabbed
their rifles and fought like hell.

MAKING GOOD

President Wilson has disap-
pointed his critics thus far by
not making a single bad break
since he landed in France and
began to discuss the peace sit
uation with the dignitaries of
Europe. 1t may yet be possible
that the man who made
monkeys of the New Jersey
gangsters who thot he would
be . tool. coaxed a refractory
congress into line and in four
years secured more beneficial
legislation than his next ten
predecessors, hammered thru
a war program that astonished
the world, it may be, we re-
peat, that this man has a pretty
definite notion of the war situ-
alton and will come as near to
handling the American end of
the problem to the country's
satisfaction as any man who
could have been found-even
to his windy critics in the sem
ate.-Collbran Voice.
