Mrs. Henry
Edgerton Dies

Friends here will be sorry to learn
of the death of Mrs. r. Edgerton.
which occurred at Austin, Minn., Mon
day. May 9. Although it was known
that Mrs. Edgerton was il very poor
health the news Of her death came
AS shock to her many friends here
and to her daughter, Mrs. John e.
Williams. Mrs. Williams had recent
ly heard from her mother who had
stated that she was much better and
was able to be without {. nurse and
Mrs. Williams had hopes of her get
ting well. She was planning to go to
Austin as soon as school was out; to
visit her mother. The sad news COM
ing at this time makes it doubly hard
for Mrs. Williams to bear, as she is
confined to her bed with a severe
cold and will not be able to make the
trip east at this time. Mrs. Edger-
toms Jdeath was due to i series of
complications. She was 81 years of
age at the time of her death.
Mrs. Edgerton is well known here
as she has been living with her
daughter for the past several years.
The family first lived at Turtle Lake
where they moved to il 1905, later
they moved to the county seat where
Mr. and Mrs Williams have ma6a
their home since.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the Williams family in
their time of sOrroW

haff Wednesday evening and organized
"a music club for Washburn,. which will

Music Club. The Club will also anil.

in any work Of this kind. The club
is expecting to give one or more pro-
grams and entertainments during the
year. .'5 IA, M 4

HAVE YOU TRIED
- SOME LATELY


Well, just get a quart oe it and sec
for yourself IL it isn't about the best
ice cream you ever ate Yes Sir;
that's it. Ice cream made right down
here at the creamery by Aug. Wah1.
Didn't he hand us out a saucer full
and didn't we taste it ourselves. Well.
take our word for it that it is good.
Honest, it made us think of the old
times when we were kids and we
scrapped to see who would get to lick
the dasher. Well, the ice cream Mr..
Wahl gave US tasted like that ice
cream. It's made of whole cream,
not near cream. That's what makes
it so good.
All we got to say folks is Mr.. Wahl
is making some blame good ice cream
and you can get sample of it to
take home if you want to,at either
Whitlock's or Williams. BY the way,
do you know that ice cream is now
considered a food and not luxury?

Farmers Exchange

The other day Ole Holtan, of Fal-
kirk, called at the County Agents o.
flee to- find \ ont where he could buy
some hay. Mr. Norling showed him
the farmers exchange list and Mr..
Holtan got the names of several farn.-
ers who have hay for sale.
During the winter a letter was sent
out from the County Agents office to
evrey farmer in the county and a
blank enclosed on which the farmer
was requested to report anything he
might have for sale. f.. .,..'es..
F. M. Hunt, Max, was the first farm
er to send in his report blank; Math

Mercer. '3rd; G. L. Cooper, Ryder, 4th;

From these blanks the County
Agent is able to assist the farmers in
marketing much of their surplus crops
and livestock right here in our own
county. This service is being ap-
preciated. John T. Grimes, Ryder,
says. Il appreciate your efforts to en-
able the farmers to deal cooperative
ly and think it is the right method" "
Edward Rutter, Ruso, says, Il am in

WaSburn Versus
Wilton Sunday

The first ball game of the season
for the local team will be played here
Sunday, May Is, at the North End
Park when Washburn will cross bats
with the Wilton nine. Manager Tim
Stafslein secured the date the first
of the week and the Ignite boys will
come up to see what Washburn has
to offer this year in base ball. From
all reports the manager has a fairly
strong team picked although at this
time the players are not known to the
press.
Mr.. Stafslein has been busy book
ing games and he has so far games
scheduled up until the middle Of June.
Some of these games will be with
Turtle Lake and return game with
Wilton, and with Stanton. The STAN
ton game is booked for May 80, Mem
orial Day, and will be played here.
Wednesday evening at the Legion
Hall a baseball meeting was called,
at which time the question was taken
in regard to forming a league with
the other towns to play only week day
baseball. The idea is taken from that
of such league formed on the Sanish
branch OF the 500. The towns there
have organized to play every Wednes-
day and at the time of each game all
the business places in the town are
to close during the game. This league
does not bar Sunday base ball among
its members, but the games played by
the teams on Sunday will not count
with those played by the league on
week days. At the meeting Wednes-
day a committee was appointed con-
sisting of Geo. Battey, Rev. Breivik
and Tim Staflein who will go to some
Of the other towns in the county and
see what they have to say IN regard
to forming such a league.
The idea is a good one fer if the
league is formed it is sure to get the
support of the town as the town will
agree to close its business places dur
ing the game. 1t will also have the
backing of all citizens who object to
Sundal base ball. And yet it still
permits those who wish to, to play
Sunday base ball. And yet it still
body in Washburn is in favor. of the
idea. In quoting Jim O'Brien, manager
of the team last year, This week day
league is fine idea, I am in favor
Of seeing it put through if it is poss-
ible." Others who do not object to
Sunday base ball are in favor of see
ing the league organized.
It is understood that nothing def
mite has yet been done by the COM
mittee in regard to feeling out the
other towns in the matter.

OUR WEEKLY INTERVIEW

c.LWails--"Will diamond pric-
es come down? No., diamond
prices will not come down for
three reasons
"A few months before the sign
ing of the armistice many finan-
ciers Of Germany, seeing inpros-
pect the depreciation of the
German mark in case Germany
lost the war, and the certainty
of exhorbitant taxes in any
event, invested their fortunes in
diamonds as: the one way to
avoid taxation and a sure way
of realizing more than one hun
dred cents on the dollar after
the return Of normal times. This
resulted in German financiers
almost cornering the worlds
available supply Of cut dia-
monds and was largely respons-
ible for an eighty per cent ad-
vance in price in the large size
r. perfect stones at that time,
Better than seventy per cent
of the worlds supply of dia-
monds are taken from property
owned by the British syndicate,
DeBeers, Inc, backed by the
British government. BY their
systematic control of the rough
stones there is always a demand
for more diamonds than the syn
dictate will release.
There have been no new mines
= of any Importance discovered
in recent years and rough stones
recovered from the bowels of
the earth are now brought great
er distances with each succeed
ing load Of dirt hoisted. The
percentage of large stones is
constantly decreasing as the
depth Of the mines increases.
"For these reasons diamonds
will continue to advance in
price"

+ It has been presented by professional
actors and by fourteen-year-old boys

Eighth Grade and meets with hearty
laughter 8 nd approval by the most
critical audience. Like most farces
this play depends more on its action
and humor for its success than upon
complicated plot. -y

his grandchild Rosebud to the son of
his old friend. II either Of the young
people refuses to marry the other,
the one refusing loses million dol

fuse to marry him. Rosebud tries ito
persuade Tut not to marry her by
feigning insanity, but when she learns
that Tut is merely masquerading as
n Tom she nearly scares the life out
of him VI q &
