A HINT OF SPRING

There's a lazy time a-eomin
And it's comm purity soon;
TIN get a start in April
And'll keep it up through June.
The sun'll come a-streakin'
Cross't the valleys and the hills.
With its warmin' light a-drivin
Out the shivers and the chills
It'll loaf around the gardens
And'll roost among the trees,
A-coaxin' and persuadin'
With a mighty power 10 please;
Till the earth will be in color.
With the roses all in bloom
And the trees in leaf and Mater
Injoyin' of the boom.
Is1l ketch fellar workin
In the house er out of doors,
And'll start the tired feelin
Oozin' out of all his pores.
It'll make his eyelids heavy,
It'll set his brain on dreams
OF the cool and shady places.
BY the quiet runnin' streams.
Then's the time 10 90 a fishin
For the lazy time is best,
Cause a fish amt hardly human,
And il never wants to rest.
By the ripplin' of the waters,
Maxim music all the day,
He can stretch out where its
shady
And Jest fish his life away.
It's the sunshine time, the fshin'
time,
The lazy time that's best,
When a fellar don't want nothin
But to soak his soul in rest.

CRASHED INTO BOX CAR
Boulder Junction People
Have Wreck Near Trout
Lake Station = Ran Into
Car.

Four Boulder Junction people
narrowly escaped death Sunday
evening when the Ford pede in
which they were riding crashed
into box car at Trout Lake sta
ton.
The pede was occupied by Jas.
Baisdell, Mrs. Jack Paquette, Miss
Anna Swenson and Ben Luski.
Mrs. Paquette was the first one
of the party to see the obstruc-
ton and screamed, but the car
was sighted too late to avoid the
accident.
In the crash that followed Mrs.
Paquette sustained severe LAGER
atoms of the face and body. I'm
conscious, she was taken from the
wreck and carried to the home of
Enoch Blaisdell at the station,
where she has remained since the
accident and is now improving
from her injuries. Other members
of the party escaped with very
little injury.
The box car had been spotted
at the Trout Lake station for
unloading. Although 1T was
blocked, the impact of the pede
moved it about nine feet.
The pede is a regular Ford car
rugged up as a pede. 1t is used
by Brooks and Ross for hauling
supplies north of Boulder juno

HOLDS STUMP MEETING
Land Clearing Meeting a
Bully Good One at Opera
House Last Night.

The first of the series of land
clearing meetings was held last
evening in Eagle River. at the
opera house.
The secretary of the land clear
ing association, c. II. Wiegand,
acted as chairman. Mr.. Fielder,
representative of the State School
of Agriculture, Land Clearing De
partment, told what had been ac-
cOmplished and what was in pros
pect in counties that are holding
contests. He said in Ashland and
other communities practically
every business man wore the land
clearing button thus showing his
interest in and support of the
movement. Those communities
which have tried the holding of
land clearing contests are going
in heavier this year than before.
Mr.. Fielder thinks the enthusiasm
shown here, when he was here
the former trip, indicates that
the contest can be made an un-
qualified success in this county.
A representive of the Dupont
company was present and gave
an interesting little talk. He
spoke of the ease and safety of
handling dynamite but emphasized
the Importance of learning and
following the rules. A set of
cautions and instructions is pack
ed in each box of dynamite and
the reading of same will prevent
accident.
Mr.. Wiegand told us something
of the business reasons and the
results to be expected from more
cleared acres. Residents of Eagle
River and vicinity who were un-
able to get to the meeting last
night can easily attend one of the
meetings at the Evergreen, Croker
or Mayo schools. A little interest
and sympathy shown for this
land clearing movement will add
immensely to the results and will
cost hardly any effort. 1t is
hardly necessary to mention the
increased prosperity which an in
crease of cleared land will bring
everybody and none of us are sus-
pected of lodging prosperity.
Meetings are being held today
at Sayner and Juve school house.
Thursday afternoon, Mch. 81,
2:30-Croker school House.
Thursday evening, 7:SO-Ever-
green School House.
Friday afternoon, April l, 2:30
Twin Lake School House.
Friday evening, 7:3O-Phelps

Saturday afternoon, April 2,

Saturday evening, 7:30-State

Sunday afternoon, April 8, 2:30

Sunday evening. 7:30-Monheim

1t is planned TO give six or eight
first and the same number of
second prizes, the first prize to be
$50 90 worth of dynamite or
clover seed and the second prize
to be S25. 90 worth of dynamite or
clover seed.
The contest will be so conduc ed
that the amount of effort will
determine the award, the one who
has to do all his own work will
be placed on an even footing with
the man able to hire lots of help.
In addition to other benefits.
this contest should furnish all
the interest and excitement of a
game or race, something to keep

son HUNTED FOR EIGHT
MONTHS FOUND IN PRISON
South Dakota Mother Covers Western
Half of u. s. in Search

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 12.-Mrs. NJ. B.
Erickson in Lincoln today on her way
to her home at Sioux Falls, S. D., told
how, after an eight months search
over the western half Of the continent
she had found her son in the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth.
The young man, after serving in the
army 13 months overseas, during
which he engaged in several battles,
was discharged on his return to the
United States, but re-enlisted under
the name of John f. johnson.
Following quarrel with an officer,
he deserted, was apprehended and
sentenced to a two-year term.
The mother had begun her search
in Minnesota.
From there she went to Montana,
back to North Dakota, to the North
Pacific coast to San Francisco, to
Reno, New, Sheridan, Wyo., and Ne
braska, always following false clues
until she reached Leavenworth, where
her son greeted her and told of his
adventures.
