session following the meetings held

Farm Bureau was organized about
year ago, the reports of the secre-

creasing interest will make possible
a much wider scope in the work Of
the organization during the ensuing
year.

tive committee are, Theo. Thom,
Jacob Yeager, Alison Wells, L. A..
Larson, Robert Stangler and Mary
McGinnis. It was decided to appoint
two or three men in each township
to solicit memberships in the bureau,

News and the county newspapers.
Addresses byssW. IS. schilling.
w. S. Schilling, president Of the
Milk Producers sSociation which
supplies tns Tis sss iAties with milk
end cream, selling more than $4,000
900 worth yearly, one OF the most
successful dairy farmers of the
northwest and a man often spoken
of in Minnesota as the logical man
for the next governor of that state,
addressed the Farm Bureau Tuesday
afternoon at its meeting in the cham
Der of commerce rooms in the city
hall and again in the evening at the
Elks' hall following the banquet.
Mr.. Schilling's addresses were inter-
esting, not only from the standpoint
of the farmer and future dairyman,
but also from the standpoint of the
business man as he drew many les
sons of value to both from his wealth
of experience as a farmer and bus
mess man, and from his study of
agriculture in almost every state Of
the union.
"Cows, Colleges and Contentment.' -
Mr.. Schilling is very optimistic rs
to the future of the farmer in the
United States and especially in the
northwest, and the caption of his
lectures might well be taken from
the slogan of the Northfield COM
munity, of which he is perhaps the
most influential citizen, Cows, Col
leges and Contentment." This slo-
gan. Mr.. Schilling said, had been
proposed by a college professor at
community meeting held in North
field, and that all of the farmers in
that community felt that it was verS
apt, because where cows are found,
there one will also find colleges and
contentment.
The speaker said that he had been
introduced sometimes as college
professor but that he was not col
lege man or even high school grad
uate, but belonged to a higher class
than college professors-the class OF
farmers. Mr.. Schilling has two
farms near Northfield, where. he
keeps his $50 thorobred Holstein,
and explained to his hearers that the
only reason he could come ur here
to North Dakota and tell about 1t
was that "Mrs. Schilling and eight
little schillings are home running
the farms while am up here telling
you about IT,
Gods Country
One can travel on any railroad in
the country, thru any state and stop
at any station, Mr.. Schilling sail.
and see people get OF from the train
and hear. them say, Well, / am glad
to get back to Gods country"
Gods country" he continued, "1s
home, and any community is Just
what the people make It. There IS
no better country than right here n
North Dakota IL you people will get
together and make It the best coun-
try In the world : II
Mr. schilling said that he was not
D preacher, but that he would like
to speak seriously Of one thing and
that was not to think too lightly Of
