NEED OF THRIFT TOLD
GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA,

Thrift, says J. A. O. Preus, Cover
nor of Minnesota, sis guide to sue
cess. 1t points the road to prosperity
away from the pitfalls of poverty and
want. It is an inspiration to youth, q
bulwark to middle age and a comfort
to the sunset years Of life. It is
public and private virtue needed now
as never before since the days immedi-
ately following the Civil War.
tThe purchasing value Of dollar so
greatly decreased during the past few
months, has made the art Of saving
difficult and d0ubly necessary.
'sThe United States government,
through its savings organization, would
arouse the spirit and love of thrift In
the hearts and minds of its citizens. To
do so it offers Savings securities: thrift
stamps, savings stamps, Treasury saw
ings certificates. By buying these Sc
curities, the purchaser trains himself
and inculcates in the minds Of others
the true spirit of thrift.
"In addition he is making an interest
bearing investment sound as the dnan-
cial honor Of Uncle Sam. He estab-
fishes personal relationship with his
government and assumes for himself q
part Of the financial burden brought up
on the country he loves by the success
full operation Of the world war.

MARKET DAYS HURT
BY ADVERSE WEATHER
Blizzard Keeps Many Away and Drives
Others Home Early In
Day.

Adverse weather conditions combined
with almost impossible roads cut down
Market Days sales approximately so
per cent, according to Warren mer-
chants. Fridays business was prac-
tically up to expectations but the storm
on Saturday morning kept many OF the
more distant people away as we'll as
drove many of those already In War
rem, home early IN the afternoon. Those,
however. who were able to attend the
sales were given exceptional bargains
iii practically every line OF goods sold.
sEhai es.ee. s, seat, Worth t,s saals
and horse fesl, went under the ham
mer at the free combination sale
which, under ideal weather conditions
would in all probabilities. have full
filed all expectations. The machinery
and farm vehicles as well as the horses
were sold under exceptionally bad con-
ditions so that the bidding and sale
prices were some distance from salts
factory figures. Thirty-seven horses
went through the ring at far from sat
isfactory prices. The horse sale was
marked by exceptionally good animals
and would probably have constituted
d banner sale but for the weather
handicap. - .1' 49,
There is some talk this week among
the merchants of conducting dollar
day sale the latter part Of April but
nothing definite has been decided upon
! nor plans laid. Should the idea find
favor with the ma ority Of the mer-
chants there is every probability that
such sale will be staged at the end
Of some week the latter part Of next
month.

GOVERNOR SOUGHT
FOR ANNUAL PICNIC
Fifth Yearly Affair Will Be Held -
Menzeps Grove the Third Sstr
day In June.

Governor J. A. O. Preus and Harry
N. Owens, editor Of the Farm Stock ana
Home, will be the speakers at the Fifth
annual picnic Of the Marshall County
Federation Of Farm clubs and County
Farm Bureaus to be held at Menzel's
grove, three miles east Of Argyle, on
} June Is, il plans laid at a special meet
ing OF the executive board and members
held in Argyle last Thursday afternoon
carry. It was decided to take up the
matter of extending an invitation to the
Governor and farm paper editor I'M
mediately. -.
Plans laid at the meeting THURSDAY
indicate that the coming annual affair
will be the biggest and best in the his
tory of the county and that there will
be visitors from some six, or seven
counties in Minnesota and North Da-
.kota. The matter of letting concessions
for the big day was taken up and dis
cussed at some length with the result
that it was decided to give local people
preference in this line. The American
Legion post Of Argyle will be given
some of the choice concessions along
with various other local people desiring
the opportunity. a#
1t was reported at the meeting that
some other county picnics are scheduled
for the same date as the Marshall
county affair but it was conceded that
they were infringing on the date rather
than this county, as the bylaws Of the
local federation state that the picnic
shall be held every year on the third
Saturday in June: The desire Of any
other county that this county change
its picnic date was therefore considered
unwarranted under the circumstances.
Committees for the picnic day were
appointed and constitute, in general the
committees that acted last year. The
program committee consists of B. r.
Houser, county agent, chairman, and
Theodore Willer.
The reception committee as appointed
is composed Of Donald Robertson, F. J.
Williams, @. Il. Melgaard, Nels Malm,
O. Enge and Gill Henderson.
The stands committee is made up of
Donald Robertson, chairman, G. F.

bers are: Sam Murray, Harry Beck

SCHOOLS COMBINE
in ATHLETIC MOVE
Annual Field Day Is Planned For Con
soAidated Schools of Northern
Part of State.

An athletic association which is
destined to play large part in the ac-
.tivities Of the smaller consolidated
schools of the northwestern part of the
state has been in the process of forma
ton during the past months and is
likely to result in a big track and field
meet some time in May at Middle Ri
yer. Schools already interested in the
project are Badger, Greenbush, Middle
River Holt, Newfolden, Lancaster, st.
HiIaire and Goodridge.
Z. The object of the associa ton, which
is called the Northern Minnesota Inter
Scholastic Association, is to promote
athletics in the smaller schools in the
northwestern part of the state. Most
of the. high schools have their athletic
activities aside from the consolidated
schools so that the latter are left out
in many of the athletic activities of the
county schools 1t is to- provide
athletic and debating activities for the
part of the state that the organization
has been formed and constitution been
drawn up to cover its activities.
According to the plans of the organ
ization contained in it's constitution and
bylaws, each consolidated school would
engage IN athletic sports and contest
and the best athletes produced at the
various schools would then be brought
together for competition. Debating al
so comes under the rules Of the organ
izat!ion Tennis, basket ball, baseball
and field events would be among those
promoted by the organization.
It is planned to hold an annual track
and field meet at one Of the towns in
the association each year where the
supremacy in the various lines OF
athletic activities would be decided.
According to the constitution Of the or
ganlzation, the first event Of this kind
will be held in Middle River this May.
The officers of. the organization at
present are NV. Yngve, Of Newfolden
president; B. G. Kuefier, of Greenbush,
vice president; Emil Prushek, Of Holt,
secretary and NJ. w. Holstapplc. OF
Middle River, treasurer

United States. At Washington he at
tended the Inauguration Of President
Harding, which he says was very Inn
pressive event, altho conducted with

suit just like an ordinary citizen. The
f0rma1ity and exclusiveness which had
characterized the former administra-
ton was entirely lacking. One of the
first acts of President Harding was to
open the White House grounds to the
public and this action struck popular
chord. The grounds had been closed
during the Wilson regime since the be-
ginning Of the war. The Judge also
visited Philadelphia with its many
places Of historic interest, New York
city with its sky scrapers, wonderful
harbOr, enormous commerce and cos
mop0litan population, and the city of
Boston, which claims to be the hub of
the Universe, the center Of all culture
worth while, and the home of Boston

MENTALITY TEST
RESULTS GIVEN
Present. System of Grading BY High
School Teachers Confirmed By
Examination.

Confirmation Of the present system Of
grading and estimating the ability of
the various students inthe Warren high
school was contained in the results OBJ
tanned from the army mental test given
the students several weeks ago, accord
ing to &. HolmQuist, superintendent of
the Warren schools, who this week an
nounced the results obtained. In prac-
tically every instance the teacher had
graded the pupil in accordance with the
showing made in the mentality test and
the mentality of few students was over
estimated. The mental ability as
shown by the tests correspondent in
most Instances with that previously as
certained by the school faculty, accord
ing to Mr.. Holmquist.
The principal reasons for giving the
mentality tests were to help the teach
ers classify their students, to help adj
wise student as to what he or she
should do and to help along the line of
discipline. In many cases students that
are exceptionally bright cause the. most
trouble for the teachers and with a
