Africa Is Club Subject,
(by Club Reporter.

On Monday afternoon, the Liter
airy Club was entertained at the home
of Mrs. John Grove Eighteen mem
bers responded to roll call. Two
guests, Mrs. Paul Miller's mother,
Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Guy Grove were
present.
At the close of the business ses-
sion, Mrs. Witwer took charge of the
meeting as leader.
Mrs. Putnam read very instruc-
tive as well as interesting article en-
titled, Mrs. Dalziel's Hunting Trip in
British East Africa. She preferred
camp life in the wilds of Africa to
her Fifth Avenue home in New York
City. The exhilerating climate, the
excitement of bagging lions, both the
tawny and the black named which
she did, the thrilling experience of
seeing an elephant stampede, the eat
ing of baked ostrict which far excels
any fowl in delicate flavor and ten
derness, the absence of fashionable
society, were much more to her taste
and she finds New York life a bore.
The natives were wonderfully inter-
esting to her, as there are many
tribes, and their habits are quite diff
ferent. . 49,. .s,.-.

''P" PUZZLE ANSWERS
ARE COMING In FAST
Educational Feature of Contest
Proves Interesting to Young
.. and Old Alike.

April 10th-and the polls close.
eastwise so far as the "P-word" pic
ture puzzle is concerned. Shortly
thereafter the prizes will be distribu-
ted and Judging from the number of
answers that have been received and
will have been received by that date
there will be some competition for
the premier honors and the larger
prizes.
They are hard at it, boys and girls
men and women, matching their wits
for the first prize of the contest.
There is no game of chance about
this picture puzzle. 1t is test of
good eyes and quick wit. And the
beauty about it all is that the fellow
with a lot of book learning doesn't
stand much more show than the fell
low with only practical education in
the school of hard knocks. The for
mer may know what "probocis"
means but don't know what a pota-
to planter looks like. So there you
are.
At any rate when they get through
with the puzzle they will both have
increased their vocabulary and their
knowledge of things "p". From an
educational standpoint they are not
losers even if they should win no
prize. They ought all have the Nor
ris Tribune anyway.

COUNTY FAIR DISCUSSED
Premium List Revised and Plans Laid
For Exposition.

A few minor changes were made in
the premium list for this year over
that of last year and tentative plans
laid for making the Stevens county
fair for 1922 the biggest and best in
the history of the county at a meet
ing of the board of directors at the
Commercial club rooms last Saturday
afternoon
Among the various features taken
up was that of admission for this
year which was set at Csc and soc as
against 30c and soc last year. It
was decided to eliminate childrens'
day this year as children under eight
years are allowed to enter the ground
free and those under fifteen are adj
mftted for a charge of 25c. Accord
ing to tentative plans talked over by
the directors, regular admission to
the grounds will be charged on the
opening day to all but exhibitors
and an effort will be made to put on,
as near as possible, the regular pro-
gram of free acts during the day.
While much has yet to be worked
out for the fair it is expected that
the exposition this year will be up to
the high standard of last year so far
as the amusement end is concerned A
similar schedule of horse races is
planned with an excellent display OF
fireworks for the evenings entertain
ment and the free acts will all be of
a high calibre.
Another feature which was dis
cussed was, that Of holding live-
stock auction on the last day for ex5
hibitors who wish to dispose OF some
of their stock The fair this year
will come September A, S, 6 and z,
which is also state fair week

gro is the most docile, and most
adaptable.
Mrs. Ware gave a book review of
a Tarzon Book. This was SO vividly
told that everyone was almost able
to even see the characters.
Tarzon's father, an English Lord
and his mother were left on the Afri-
can coast by mutining sailors. They
built their house in tree, and Tar
zon was born here. When he was
fourteen months old his mother dies,
and his father is killed by a gorilla
and Tarzan is adopted by female
gorilla as she has just lost her little
baby. She loves him dearly and
brings him up. ... n"
Other people are cast on the coast
and Tarzan sees them. He sees his
reflection in the water and realizes
he is not a gorilla, but like the people
left on the shore. He protects these
people from the gorillas and wild
beasts, then he sails away with them
and finally lands in the United States
He had fallen in love with a girl
who was in the party cast away on
the coast and he follows her to offer
her his hand, but she refused him,
as she could not marry gorilla man.
The club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. Saunders, April 10th.

paralyzed until Sunday. Aside from
badly bruised hip and minor
scratches and bumps he has practical
ly recovered from the mishap.

A Trust Creditably Discharged.

Last week Mrs. Mary E. Pearce
was discharged by the Probate Court
as guardian of the estate of Bertha
Hagen and others, and thus ended a
seventeen year trust which has been
for Mrs. Pearce a labor of love. The
care and attention which she has
given to the affairs of the Hagen chill
dren who were left motherless is
worthy of more than passing notice.
Seventeen years ago, Mrs. Peter
Hagen died leaving a husband and
eight children, five of whom were
minors. There was no estate except
a little home on West Seventh street,
from which only $92.50. was netted to
the wards after encumbrances had
been paid, and $1,00 of life insurance
payable to Alma and Nina Tagen.
Mrs. Pearce has kept this carefully
invested until the beneficiaries at
tanned their majority and more than
doubled it, turning over to Alma
Hagen Johnson $9899O and to Nina
Hagen Race $1,069.87.
In sending Mrs. Pearce the order
discharged her as guardian, Probate
Judge A. L. Stenger paid Mrs. Pearce
the following compliment:
I'm connection with this case
wish to compliment you upon the eff
f1cient manner in which you have
guarded and invested the funds of
your wards, which more than doubled
itself, appreciated not only by the
benefciaries, the wards, but also by
the writer, who in closing thanks
you for the services you have rend-
cred, and the many kindnessess that
you have extended to these mother
less children, during their minority"
Mrs. Pearce herself wishes to ac-
knowledge the service rendered by
S. Stewart and S. J. Stebbins in CO.
operating with her as bondsmen for.
for all these years.

COUNTY AGENT URGES
CHOLERA PRECAUTIONS
StOckmen Fear Epidemic This Sum-
mer Unless Preventative Meas
ures Are Taken.

A warning to farmers of Stevens
county to take every precaution
against hog cholera during the COM
ing months is contained in a state
ment made this week by Allen W.
Edison, county agent. Concerning
the probabilities of an epidemic he
says: -,
I, There were over dozen cases of
hog cholera in Stevens county during
the past fall and summer with losses
varying from one hog to the whole
herd. Not only in Stevens county,
but throughout the whole hog raising
section of the northwest, there was a.
sprinkling of cholera. 1t is feared
by many of our better stock men that
there will be the greatest loss from
hog cholera this year that there has
been since the fatal year seven years
ago. There are probably three hogs
in Stevens county this year for every
two that were raised last year. 1t
sweep of hog cholera would mean a
great loss to our farmers. -.s
"It costs approximately one cent
a pound to double treat hogs for
cholera, which is about SO cases out
of 100 immunizes the hog from chol-
era for two or three years. The vac
cination of the pig Of SO to 100
pounds not only insures the life Of
the hog through the growing period,
but the cost of vaceinating at this
age is about 70 cents per hog, while
it will cost $500 to treat the 200
pound hog. Most of our large breed
ers, who have been studying the hog
business, such as Hanrahan, Coll,
Busch, Bosold, Mecklenberg,r Gerber,
Willie and others are planning to i'm
munize their pigs as soon as they are
old enough this spring.
1.-THE hog man who takes the pre-
caution and keeps his hogs under
sanitary conditions with plenty of
exercise, is eliminating the gambling
element of the hog game. The price
Of one hog is cheap insurance for the
herd. E- 4~ --I. ..... +.

CLUB WEEK PROMISES
TO BE BIG SUCCESS
West Central School of Agriculture
Ready For Boys and Girls
Next Week.

The annual Boys and Girls Club
Week, which is always one of the
most popular and best attended short
courses held at the West Central
School of Agriculture, promises this
year to be even a larger and more
successful short course than ever be-
fore. The course will open Wednes-
day, April 5th and close Saturday,
April 8th. A very heavy enrolment
from the rural schools of Stevens
county is already assured. Large dele
cations are planning on coming from
many other schools thruout west CEN
trail Minnesota.
r. H. GibersOn, Director of Boys
and Girls Club Work in west cen
trail Minnesota, who is in charge of
the short course, announces that the
program this year will take up many
new phases of boys and girls club
work. The staff of instructors will
include men and women who are not
only specialists in their various lines
of work but who are especially inter
ested in the promotion of the boys
and girls club work. One important
feature of the short course days will
be the entertainment programs in the
evening which will featurs a large
number of moving picture films show
ing the best club work being done in
the United States.
All of the dormitories at the school
will be opened up to the short course
students and arrangements are being
made to care for at least 800 boys
and girls on the campus. The charge
this year has been placed at $500
for the entire short course which in
cludes the cost of board and room and
all other expenses. Superintendent
P. e. Miller states that the charge
has been reduced this year in order
that every boy and girl may find it
possible to attend.
Club work is rapidly becoming one
of the most important parts of agri-
cultural extension work and the an
nual boys and girls club short course
gives the boys and girls an op
portunity to get the best instruction
in the many projects which are now
included in this work '->" ....s
