home folks, the funeral train car
rying President Harding's body
arrived at Marion at 1888 p. M.
two hours and 38 minutes late.
Scarcely had the wheels Of the
incoming train ceased to turn be-
fore the bells of the churches or
Marion began tolling slowly for the
city's distinguished SOMEONE to
rest forever among the friends and
neighbors he loved best OF all.
Before the coffin was taken from
the train, those who had accom-
panied the body from Washington
stepped upon the station platform
and got into waiting automobiles.
Funeral Procession Starts
At 1:12 o'clock the funeral pro-
cession from the train reached the
home Of the dead presidents father
DIT. George T. Harding ST., and the
body was reverently carried into
the house for a brief privacy before
1t was to lie in state.
Last To Leave Train.
Mrs. Harding still calm and com =
lposed was one of the last to leave
the train. AS the cortege had near
ed Marion she had sat by the win
dow Of her compartment looking out
on the silent crowds composed OF
some whom she had known since
girlhood and upon the scenes she
had known and with her husband
loved above and beyond any of the
wonderful scenes they had seen on
the recent and Ill. destined trip.
The funeral train for nearly two
hours before reaching Marion passed
through country Intimately associat
ed with the life of the dead presi-
dent.
There was Mansfield, visited BY
Mr.. Harding as a boy enjoying the
infrequent trips ito the city, fol
Mansfield then was the largest place
in this section of the state. During
the campaign of 1920 Mr.. Harding
often motored to Mansfield in search
Of recreation on the golf links.
| l. Spent 6oyhood Days.
| Then there was Caledonia, where
Warren Harding spent his bodhood
When he became president the proud
citizens Of Caledonia erected a large
signboard beside the Erie railroad
tracks and painted thereon Hard
ings boyhood home" Today the
sign was draped in mourning. The
citizens Of Caledonia were proud
had lived among them and hat
fought a good fight.
Before reaching Caledonia the
black draped train passed within
two miles of the old Harding home
stead at Blooming Grove, purchased
by Mr.. Harding last spring not as
was. said to provide home for hin
on leaving the White House. but tc
prevent the farm from getting into
the hands Of those who might com
mercialize it. He decided It severa
months ago to his nephews, George
T. Harding. Ill, and Warren Hard
ing.
Everywhere along the way from
Mansfield the passing of the train
was marked by an almost continu
Gus throng. They were gathered in
bthe villages: they stood at~the road
crossings and many looked on from
corn and oats fields and pastures
All came to pay final tribute tt
the dead in the last car who in life
had known so many of them and sc
well that he called them by first
names and they spoke of him, mo-
as "Mr. President" but as Warren
! Harding"

Barron county Is the first county
in the world to have an area re-
test for bovine tuberculosis. The
farmers were for 1t because they re-
allied the value OF having herds tree
county $4,000 head Of cattle. Less
than one percent Of infected cattle
was found. There are 563 accredited
herds in the county. Many cattle
are shipped out OF Barron county In
to Iowa. ~
People of Barron county pride
themselves On the quality Of pc.
tatoes they raise. Thousands Of
bushels On spuds are shipped to
other points as seed. The potato
raisers are going to organize q sale
agency so as to facilitate the sales
and shipment OF the "murphies."
Barron county farmers are fortunate
in having W. A. Duify as county
agent. He is an energetic gentle
man and is at the call of those who
are extracting wealth from the soil.
The price OF land in Barron county
in fact land in all this section
ranges from $3.50 to $500 per acre.
II Is remarkable that this soil which
years ago was considered of little
value is now bringing the figure 1t
| is. Not so many years ago the
lumber jack was cutting timber OF
the land and in the spring sending
the logs down stream to the sawmill.
Men who were employed in the
81 to 81. SO per acre. Leaving their
wives in charge of the clearing In
the winter the husbands worked In
the woods. Upon the removal Of the
pine the logging ceased, and the
owners of these small tracts of land
found themselves without money
enough to leave. They were forced
to remain. They made the best OF the
situation. bought a cow and com
menced farming. These are the
people that transformed Northern
Wisconsin into a magnifcet dairy
country.
Northern Minnesota can be thus
transformed also-and In South
ern Minnesota the industry can
be enlarged to the extent OF mil
lions OF dollars. Southern Minnesota
farmers are not making the most OF
their opportunities.
But very little wheat is raised in
Northern Wisconsin. Oats, barley
and corn are grain for silage pur-
poses. TO one VINO mas lived In a
wheat producing section. 1t seems
strange to be told that all the bread
eaten in this neck o. the woods must
be shipped in. 1t does seem strange
that enough wheat to supply the de
mand could be raised hereabouts
arley runs up to fifty bushels to the
acre; oats seventy five; corn twelve
to sixteen to the acre.
