MRS. J. E. ROUNDS.
Exchange.

IT HE members of the Minnesota Federation
= of Women's Clubs mourn the loss of
their leader, Mrs. J. E. Rounds of Sain!
Paul, who for the past four years has been the
president of this great body of Minnesota women
Possessed of all the qualities necessary to great
leadership, Mrs. Rounds carried forward the
work of the organization, sacrificing her own
private concerns and finally her own health,
that the work might be carried forward in ac-
cordance with the high ideal she and the presi-
dents before her had set for the Federation.
For over a year Mrs. Rounds had been failing
but not until it became absolutely necessary for
her to give up her work because of her physical
condition did she release any of the details Of
her big job to the other members of her official
family. To have worked with "Big Chief NJ
Leona" was opportunity and privilege which
every one of her under-officers appreciates. Her
plain common sense, her wonderful kindliness
her freedom from all formaty and her poignant
wit made background for character of such
sterling worth that to have known her we'll was
to have become better for the knowledge. We
know of no woman in Minnesota more loved than
Mrs. Rounds, nor do we know of one, who
having passed on, will live long in the hearts
of the women of the State. That she labored
too long and too hard for the Federation is a
matter OF regret and remorse to her henchmen.

FRED WENT BACK.

RED MURSET living on a farm near the
very center of Redwood County is living
demonstration of what can be done with
it and is not afraid to work! The story of the
produce sold from Mr.. Murset's farm fran July
1924 to 1925 is the best possible argument to
the kill-joy who says there is no financial re-
turn for the labor and time expended on the
farm.
Mr.. Murset's tract of 800 acres is just the
average run of Redwood county land; black
therefore we'll drained. He is believer in the
rotation of crops, carefully changing the crop
on every inch of land each year. In fact careful
planning is one of his big assets. Even now,
before the 1925 crop is harvested, he has fully
planned out his entire planting for next year.
OF course weather conditions vary from season
to season and not always do his plans carry.
But so seldom do they sadly miscarry that he
is positive this planning is one of the big es-
sentials of right planting.
On his farm last year Mr.. Murset raised g.
900 bushels of wheat, 1900 bushels of oats, $50
bushels of flax, 3,075 bushels of corn besides
the fourteen acres which were hogged off, so
tons of alfalfa and 10 tons of wild hay in ad-
dition to alfalfa left for seed. Besides the
feed and seed used on the farm, he sold the
grains, corn and stock in the following amounts:
Hogs, $1,536.30; corn, $1,897.4O; flax, s987.75;
wheat, $2,976.30; oats, 5000; cattle $185.00; a
total of $7,65165.
In addition to this Mrs. Murset was able to-

Just when we begin to feel that the world
is really progressing the kids of the community
go back about forty years, more or less, and
resurrect the wonderful art of making music on
a comb. We had supposed that that dreadful
noise was lost to all posterity when the editors
own generation laid down the tissue-paper COW
cred comb for the last time But now it is
even worse-not only do the kids make this
emusic" in and out of season, but they ride in
their cars while making it, so that not even the
resident who has young people in his vicinity
is free from the plague of this alleged music.
Talk about degeneracy!

Some moment when you are tired and
weary of life and worn with depressing respon-

into the open air with open heart and open eyes
Let the beauty of creation flood your heart and
just reflect that God has made all this beauty
for the delight and inspiration Of his children.

and you will return to your task feeling that
after all this is good old world and that life

Down the University campus there is a
wonderful old man. There may be many Won
derful old men there whom we have not had an
opportunity of meeting. E. A. Gunner we
did meet and delightful event it was to US. For
the past forty-three years Mr. Gunner has been
the head gardner at the University and what
has he not seen and what he has not learned
in that time! In the short time we were privi-
legged to be with him we learned much of the
gentle and lovely philosophy which this man
has evolved through his years of loving labor
with the plants in the Botanical Department
AS he wandered through his plots of carefully
tended old-fashioned and very lovely blooms
touching them tenderly, pulling out weed here
and Strengthening out a stray shoot there, ne
talked to us. One thing he said appealed to us
as the crux of many of the things he has learned
while at work with plant life at the same time
he has been surrounded with young human life.
If, he said, "a boy is trained to love- to REAL
LY love, flowers, and books and music and pic
lures, he is not going to let PEOPLE lead him
very far wrong" We find Gunnar Bjornson
Minneota philosopher and editor voicing much
the same sentiment which is not new but is
worth thinking over again.
every noble poem that you read,
every beautiful work of art that you view
makes you better man or better woman.
If that is true of the things that have
been produced by man, how far more, is it
not true of the things that Natures God
has produced? If it is pleasure to sit
and look at a painted landscape what thrill
should there not be in walking through gar
dens that God has planted! For, as the Irish
poet said: Poems are made by fools like
me, only God can make tree!"

ACT OF HEROISM
 SAVES LIFE OF
 TELLER WOMAN
(Nome Nugget)

A story of unusually pathetic inter- est was brought to Nome by Captain Thomas Peterson of the Teller Light craze Company, on Friday evening, October 30.
 Capt. Peterson came to Nome at the request of John Read of Teller for the purpose of bringing if possible doctor to attend Mrs. Reed who is in a very serious condition. The woman
 has been ailing for some time and
 was suffering from what was consid-
 cred rheumatism, and steadily growing
 worse was taken over to the Luther
 an mission across the Bay. Some three days ago a decided change for the worst took place and she became paralyzed from her waist down. After vainly trying every means available, it was decided to go to Nome for a doctor. MT. Peterson got ready his , launch, the Pippin, and in company
 with Norman and Edward Tweet, they
 started for Nome.
 Facing strong easterly wind with heavy surf they made Cape Spen- cer, and when abreast of the Cape the rig used for raising and lowering l the propeller became disabled leaving no alternative but to get the launch
 ashore and repair the break, which
 took about I hours to accomplish by the most primitive means. MT. Pe- terson and the boys made improvised forge fires and with the lights from
 blazing fagots welded the iron into
 shape. After placing their boat in
 shape they headed for Sledge island.
 The wind which had been easterly
 when they rounded the Cape, chopped into the south east with nasty sea
 running. At times only the superior
 seamanship of Capt. Peterson saved them from a watery grave. Battling
 with the elements they finally made shelter at Sledge Island after dark on the evening of the 18th, laying in the lee of the island until the fore noon of the 3Oth. They decided the weather had moderated sufficiently to
 make Nome and reached here about 5 o'clock at night.
 After landing MT. Peterson rushed to Dr. Rex Swartz, where he was in- formed it would be impossible for the doctor to leave as his services were too urgently needed on critical cases here. However the doctor gave Mr. Peterson a letter of instructions to the nurse at the mission directing her how to proceed and also medicines
 Capt. Peterson hastened back and re-
 ports received here later state that the patient is much improved from the instructions and medicines sent | MT. and Mrs. Reed are both we'll known in Nome and are old timers in the Teller section. Before her mar
 riage Mrs. Reed was nurse at the
 Swedish Lutheran Mission.

Simson, en route to Alaska from the East coast, came by way of Florida and looked the country over. As an example he related one incident where young man purchased 50 foot lot three years ago for 5000 and a few months later sold it to the United Stores Company, Inc, for an even million dollars. Since then the com pany has begun the construction of $250,000 business block.
 MT. Simson has been making trips to Germany the last three years and is direct from there now, having spent the past six months there in various portions of the country. Conditions are bad in Germany, he said, and poverty is rampant. A few years ago where large banks each had deposit of several millions of dollars, they

now have a few hundreds of thou sands. It is almost impossible to transact loans thru them. The rate of interest is now on the average of 15 per cent and on top of that is the commission charge of nine per cent. If anyone has the cash and want to purchase business block or an apart ment, $5,000 in many instances has bought outright a building valued at S90,O0O
 MT. Simson continued on to An chorage this morning, departing on the freight train. After a few days spent in thes Inlet town where for merly he was engaged in business, he will go on to Fairbanks where he is interested with his brother, Lipman Simson, in a general store. While in Seward he was guest at the Hotel Van Glider.

ECHO QUERIES WHO?

Who is going to be the District At torney for the Third Division? That is question that is agitating many. Apparently the contest has narrowed down to a choice between J. L. Reed, of Valdez; F. H. Foster of Cordova, and W. D. Coppernoll of Seward, all of whom are able attorneys and would fill the position with honor to them, selves and credit to the Department and either would be acceptable 10 the people of the Division. Evidently we are not to know until after the first of the year when Congress convenes again. Those with a large bump o1 curiosity including ourselves, would like to know just what is holding LII the appointment-Valdez Miner.
