Last week Guy Sergeant and nj. S.
Hillman, who own the old Waite farm
northwest of town, traded it to c..
August Anderson, of Moran. Change
of ownership is to take place this
spring. Mr.. Sergeant, who has been
Ewing on the farm, is undecided just
where he will move, but may go to
Moran and live on the Anderson
farm. He has a splendid Guernsey
herd and has been making much pro-
gress in its development. This COM
fnunity will be sorry to lose him as
ne is the type of farmer that any
community needs. Mr.. Anderson is
enc of the leading Holstein breeders
of the county and will continue his
dairy farming after he moves to
Long Prairie. He is a good farmer
and progressive citizen. The Lead
err is glad to know he is coming to
this community to make his home.

We have to take the prophets
word for it that Joshua of old made
the sun stand still, which was re-
garded as quite an accomplishment IN
those days.
Fathers these days have great dit
iculty in causing their sons to stand
still, until they request them to spiit
the kindling or carry in the WOOD
when the heir to the throne becomes
SO stationary, he might as well be
a statue. 1t works equally well in the
cornfield when hoe is the object de
resistance.
But not until last week did Fergus
Falls gain fame when one OF its cit
liens, a Mr.. Nelson, so the story
goes, made the moon shine in a dark
remote basement room back OF ms
barber shop, that you couldn't ma
with a search warrant.
This remarkable genius who made
the moon shine excelled MS own ex-
pections, for his victims saw stars,
consultations, rabbits fighting bull
dogs. while a mouse Tapped up two
snorts spilled on the floor, and rear1n
back on its hind legs says Bring on
fhat old Cat now
One doctor took sniff at the home
brew and promtly pronounced 1t 10
be formaldyhide, while the legs Oh
the imbibers wabbled like a man well
pickled causing the night Hawshaw
to run in trio of drought breakers,
and they told it to the judge. That
