PREPAREDNESS"

This is Col, Mitchell's slogan
with regard to areal fighting craft.
We will have to fight on terra
firma. Reports come in of the pre-
sence of the terrible earwig at
Ellisport, the north end and other
places. / have been told that as
many as six earwigs were found
on a single dahlia blossom. We also
had fight on our hands this sea-
son with the climbing cutworm,
and had to keep our nursery stock
busted with arsenate of lead and
sublimated lime.
We had better begin to prepare
for the inevitable because these
pests will soon be with us all.
Earwigs are night workers. In the
day time they hide under rubbish
anywhere. In order to give no
rest or quarter we must have a
flock of the little ck-breasted
red game bantams about the pre-
misses to get them in their shelter.
For the night attack we ought to
have the great old fashioned toads.
The wary kind that hunt at night
and burrow in the soil in the day
time. The age of these toads is &c
years, so if we get them establish
ed we will have them with us even
For the coming generations. In my
boyhood days ne used to take
home these great toads whenever
we found them and placed them il
,ur garden. They took care Of the
,ects and bugs. They destroy e.
ecst and bugs. They destroy e
normous quantities of them in q
single night.

control the maggot. The most
promising method, it seems to me,
is by Notwithstanding on new
ground on which no berries have
been growing for three or four
years. Here, too, we have the sat
isfaction of producing a flavor in
the berry that is already known
to excel that Of other regions.
This is probably due to our acid
soil and equable climate. This is
a wonderful asset which we can
take into consideration. | have

Church Have Been Completed
All Traces of Fire Have Been
Removed-ServicesA At Church
Sunday Morning

The work of repairing and redec-
Grating the Methodist church which,
was materially damaged by fire and
water December Fl, is complete. The
pastor, Rev. S. S. Wyand stated to a
Herald representative Wednesday
that regular services would be resum-
ed at the church Sunday February
9Th. For the past several weeks SER
vices have been held in the Masonic
Temple.
The interior has been practically
rebuilt, the ceiling which formerly
was very high and ran up to an open
gable has been replaced with a new
ceiling which adds much to the APP
pearance and will make heating much
easier. The side walls have been new
! ly plastered and tremendously de-
corated.
The lighting arrangement has been
completely changed in the auditorium
by the generosity of Gunther Hill
Ilerud, the old chandler with cluster
of twenty small light globes suspend
ed in the center of the room has beer
replaced with three two-hundred ant
fifty watt lights placed in trianglel
position in the ceiling. On the choi
loft three new lights have been in
stalled to replace the old ones b,

The work under the supervision 0

The Herald is credibly informed
Mr.. Nelson controlled a majority of
the stock issued. ( The officers of the
bank were: C. J. Johnson, president
Otto Strobeck, vice president; A. H.
Hendrickson, vice president; L. H.
Nelson, cashier; A. M. Lystad, asst.
cashier, and R. M. Stephan, asst.
cashier.
The Herald is creditably informed
that less than thirty days ago the Of
ficers of the institution gave their
paper for $4,000 loan to one of the
Long Prairie banks. 1t was expected
that this sum would tide the bank
over the crisis.
At this writing it is not known just
how bad the failure is but for some
time none of the banks in this local
ity would cash checks drawn on the
Little Sank institution.
There are many rumOrS as to what
caused the failure but the officers OF
the State Department who are in.
vestigating and checking up have not
given out any statement as to the as
SETS. ~.
During it's entire existence the bank
has been under the direct supervision
of Cashier L. H. Nelson. He made
a strenuous fight to place Little Sauh
on the map. He has been a liberal
supporter of everything that would
tend to improve conditions in his
community.

which was advertised exclusively in
the Herald of last week. There were
10 correct solutions and the successful
contestants were to be awarded first

fered by the Bishop Company and
the Boston Toggery. A fifty pound
sack of Gem flour by the Central Min

the Pioneer Ice. Cream Company,
third, and a console or smoking set
by George Berggreen was fourth
prize. The Herald was mailed about
A 80 Thursday afternoon and the
answers commenced to come into the
committee in charge late that evening,
and before the time set for the clos
ing of the contest Monday evening,
they were literally swamped with an

Drs. E. J. Lewis and H. F. Hen.
