X. F. AG. GRADUATE
MAKES STATE CLEANUP

Irving Courtice, a graduate of the
River Falls Normal school and now
employed as County Club Agent for
Sargent county, N. D., has just made
a state cleanup in demonstration
work at the North Dakota State Fair
in Fargo, winning honors of which he
and the county may justly feel prord.
He trained two demonstration
teams, one in the agricultural class,
and the other in Home Econd MICS,
and one stock Judging team. These
three teams took the following hon
ors in the North Dakota state con.
tests: Championship in stock Judging
and championship in the Agricultural
class; fifth place in Home Economics.
One of the boys in the stock Judging
work also won the gold medal for be-
ing the highest individual in dairy
judging, and the same boy was also
awarded a second prize in a Judging
contest. Fourth and eighteenth
places were also won by Mr.. Cour-
tees boys. There were SO contest
ants.
The championship in demonstra-
ton work was won by Mr.. Courtice's
team over IA other teams, and will
represent North Dakota at the Inter
state Fair at Sioux City, Ia, this.
year. Last year Mr.. Courtice's de-
monstration team won the Interstate
championship at Sioux City. This
year his club demonstrates the pro-
of wholesome milk.
Mr.. Courtice is pushing the dairy
idea with a great deal of success in
Sargent county. His demonetraticn
team comes from a dairy calf club
which he organized and which is do
ing fine work. One of their projects
was the starting of community clean
up on T. B., from which effort the
Idea has spread to several other com
munities in the county, with the re-
suit that thousands of cattle have
tested. :

LAST MANS BANQUET

Inc rhlrty-elgnCh annual meeting
and banquet of the Last Nuns Club
was held at the Sawyer house Fri.
day. Four of the five survivors of
the thirty-four members of B Com
pany, First Minnesota infantry were
present at the gathering.
The four members of the Last
Mans Club who attended Fridays
meeting were: Adam Marty, st. Paul,
IS years old; Charles Lockwood,
Chamberlain, S. D., 70; John s.. Golf,
Minnesota Soldiers Home, 70; and
Peter Hall, Atwater, Mimi, SO. Emil
Graft of st. Cloud, Fla, SO, is the
fifth surviving member but he is an
invalid and is unable to make the
trip.
There were two guests present at
the meeting. They were Mrs. Sam
Bloomer, widow of one of the found
ers of the club, and Mrs. William
Griff of st. Paul, daughter of John
Golf.
At the head of the long table in the
DINING hall were places for four to
eat. At the far end of the table an
old silken flag was draped. Below it
hung a card on which appeared the
names of the tweny-nine members
who have gone to the land of the I'M
known. The rest of the space at the
table was occupied by empty chairs,
each one draped in black. The table
was beautifully decorated with bright
bouquets of flowers which were given
by the many friends of the few sur
viving veterans.
The women guests sat at a sepa-
rate table.
At noon Adam Marty, president of
the club, went to the First National
bank and took from it's resting place
in the vault the bottle of wine which
has a place of honor at every banquet
of the club. The bottle. is encased in
a hand made wooden case. The bot
tie was taken to the Sawyer House
and placed again on the table. This
bottle of wine was given to the or
~ganization in 1886 and will be opened
by the last surviving member, who
will drink a toast to the ones thai
have gone before.
Mrs. Sam Bloomer, who has charge
of the old and tattered flag that i.
displayed at every banquet of the clul
suggested that when all the member:
Of the club have passed away tha'
the flag be placed in a glass case ant
hung in the new armory that is nov
being erected in the city. "As Ions
as I live, "said Mrs. Bloomer, II viii
take care of it brt after we are al
gone it shall hang in a glass case il
the armory."
During the banquet the men taIke'
over the current events but eventual
ly, as all soldiers will, the conversation
drifted to the times when they cam
paigned in the great war of the Re
bellion. From then on until the clos
of the banquet the men lived over tn
times they spent together on the bat
tie fields and in the camps.
At the close of the banquet the me-
shook hands and wondered which on
would drop by the wayside before tn
next meeting, which will be July u
1923, the anniversary of the battle o
Bull Run. All said they would b
present next year at the same time j
they were sparred.-Stillwater Mes
senger.
