Band Concert Draws
Large Attendance
Program Rendered by the Eleventh
Battalion Band Makes Hit With
<-- Audience.

The concert given last evening by the
Warren Battalion Band was an enjoy
able event. The seating capacity of the
Strand Theatre was filled and even
standing room was hard to find. The
program given was an excellent one
and each number was greeted with a
hearty applause which brought liberal
encores The solos rendered by f. EN-
rich, A. l. Bystrom, Roy Prytz and
Annar Myhre were especially pleasing
and well performed.
Director A. 1. Bystrom and the band
boys are to be commended for-the ex-

Farm Bureau Notes
JOHN HUSKY, County Agent.
FARMERS NEAR WARREN BUY
MORE PURE BRED CATTLE,

NJ. L. Warner and County Agent
HUSKY spent Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week in Ottertail county look
ing over pure bred cattle. During the
two days, five herds of Herefords, and
five of Shorthorns were visited. After
considering breeding quality of animals
and price, Mr.. Warner finally purchased
six head of Shorthorns from George
Schroeder, Of Elizabeth. They are COM
posed Of one bull, three COWS and two
calves. Since the purchase word has
been received that this herd has in
creased in the form of q little heifer
calf. This lot will make Mr.. Warner
very fine foundati ton herd and herd
that will be money maker in years to
come All that is needed is time to In
crease and improve them.
On Friday evening Chas. Franks and
Walter H. Grange with the County
Agent left for Ottertail county to pur-
chase Herefords out of the herds al
ready looked over by WI Warner and
Mr.. HUSKY earlier in the week. Five
herds of Herefords were carefully look
ed over and priced with the result that
five head of cows and heifers were pur-
chased out of two herds, by Mr.. Franks.
After looking over some $50 to 175 head
of cattle carefully, taking conformation,
quality, breeding and price, Mr.. Grange
finally decided not to buy. He came to
the conclusion that he can make bet
ter buy out of Mr.. Franks herd here at
home. In fact four bred females have
already been picked and prices agreed
upon,~ all that remains is to close the
deal. This is one case where it paid to
patronize home industry. Mr.. Franks
purchases were composed OF one COW
and two heifers bred, and two heifers
open.
The trip into Ottertail county was
valuable trip and an object lesson to
those who went They had an opp0r-
tunity to meet other breeders; see the
quality of stuff they handle; how they
handle it; getting ideas as to values OF
stuff, and many other things pertaining
to breeding of purebred livestock.
Marshall county and especially this
community, is to be congratulated upon
having farmers farsighted enough to
see the value Of purebred livestock and
nerve enough to make the venture even
tho it will take years to get the returns.

Young Men Interested
in Pure Bred Cattle

The offer of Chas Franks published
last week in the Sheaf in which young
men were given an opportunity of Sc
curing some excellent Hereford cattle,
met with liberal response Already
George Mccartney, Arthur A. Palmer
and Geo. A. Palmer have purchased
COWS under Mr.. Franks offer and there
are several more considering the mat
ter. G. H. Palmer, father of the two
Palmer boys, has also purchased two
Hereford cows from Mr.. Franks herd.
The interest the boys take in raising
better cattle is encouraging and the fu-
ture success of the live stock breeding
industry in this community is assured.

spending Of much money before the end comes.
Just return should be made on such eXpend-
itures. All salaries should be raised but the
experienced teacher, one who has spent several
years. and hundreds of dollars in fitting himself
for his work, should receive, very obviously,
more money than the fresh inexperienced grad

and to do this properly there must be more
money. The nation will never advance if her
schools retard. The taxpayers, of all classes
should get their eyes opened to this fact, and
cut out expenses in other lines, using the money
for their schools
The truth Of the matter is, that as a nation
we are running to automobiles rather than
books, to gasoline rather than to the midnight

future generations will pay the price for our

JOHN MITCHELL, AMERICAN

|W1 HILE the death of John Mitchell. presi-
Wv dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, is no longer news and while all that
appertains to his life and his works. to his deeds
and his practices is now history, the greatness
of the man and his real worth to the nation will
become more and more apparent as time passes.
John Mitchell was man of large calber
he was a leader of men, a leader Of organized
labor and leader of civilization. 1t was his
function to draw together the employer and the
employee, to bring about a harmony of senti-
ment and union of endeavor between the en-
ployer of labor and the laborer. He was not a
radical nor an extremist. He was not in favor
Of fighting capital blindy and fanatically, Just
because it was capital.
On the contrary John Mitchell was a man
who realized that capital was the employer
of labor and that, as capital was compelled to
lean upon labor for its sinews and vitality so
was labor forced to look to capital for the
means of existence. He was, to compress all
in a nutshell, man who believed the laborer
worthy of his hire and who believed the man
who hired the laborer, worthy of his DUE
man who believed all wrongs could be arbi-
trated and that equity to all was justice to ALL
'He was" says the McAlester News-Capita
"a dynamic type of the American, who led in
cause he knew to be right but who furthered
his cause only by methods that were fair to the
opposition. His first devotion was to the men
he led and not one of those thousands can say
that his devotion ever tagged"
Not being a radical or an extremist, Mitchell
did not please the hot heads in abors ranks
He had nothing in common with them because
the organization he built was built upon the
foundation of equal justice to all, was founded
upon the same sound and incowuptable prin-
ciples upon which the constitution of the United
States is founded.
The mine workers of America will miss John
Mitchell. The mine owners of America will
miss him. The workers will miss his loyal and
honest counses and the owners will miss the
firm and dispassionate and unbiased manner in
which he saw that wrongs of the brotherhood
he represented were righted.
