Marshall Is Injured
Thompson

Will Thompson, the village
marshall of Walnut Grove sustained
a peculiar accident last Sunday morn
ing. A car which was speeding refus-
ed to stop when so ordered by Mr..
Thompson and he gave chase in the
car of S. Hanson. They passed the
car which they were chasing and Mr..
Thompson stepped backward from
the. Hanson car into the road in front
of the other car. The momentum
at which the Hanson car was going
threw him to the ground and the 9TH
er car passed over him without touch
ing him. He was severely bruised
and also hurt about the head. 1t is
feared he may have sustained intern
al injuries, through the force of the
fall. He is making a good recovery.

PARENTS BREAK
LAW BY LETTING
CHILDREN DRIVE

There is Minnesota law that
is flagrantly violated in this as
well as other communities, and
that is the law prohibiting chill
dren under 16 years of age
driving automobiles unless ac-
companied by the owner of the
car. There are many folks who
do not allow their children to
drive cars and they find it hard
to convince their childen that
it is neither right nor proper to
disobey that law, when those
children see their playmates
driving. Observe that import
ant law, and save yourselves
heartaches and financial losses.

Mrs. S. III. Laidlaw
Enters Into Rest

MRS. S. H. Laidlaw died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Cora L. Ingra-
ham, Tony, Wisconsin, on Tuesday ev-
ezning at l1:45 o'clock, aged 90 years,
g months and 1 day. Mrs. Laidlaw
WAS taken sick Saturday afternoon
with a slight attack of internal
trouble, which aggravated by the in
firmities of old age, caused her severe
pain which ceased only when she en-
tered into her eternal rest.
Sophronia Harmon was born at
Edwards, st. Lawrence county, New
York, on January 26, 1884. She unit
ed with the church at 18 and since
ahat time lived an active, devoted
Christian life, one of the last conscious
acts of her life being that of prayer.
She was spared beyond her four
score years and ten, and faithfully
did she render an account of her time.
For many years she was an active
and devoted worker in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, giving
beautifully of her time, her talents
and her money for the cause of hui
manity. Nor did her generous inn
pulses end here; the church, the mis-
ssionary cause, both home and foreign,
children's homes and other benevol-
cent enterprises were the recipients of
her generosity, her prayers, and her
1etters Of cheer and encouragement
One Of the greatest griefs of her life
was when failing eyesight prevented
her keeping in as close touch as she
wished with her beloved enterprises.
Mrs. Laidlaw was faithful friend
sand was willing to pay the price of
friendship. Her friends were legion.
Despite advancing age and failing
@yesight her beautifully written let
tiers kept warm the tie between her
self and friends. And many will miss
the words eof courage, of hope and re-
9igious inspiration which they invari-
ably contained.
She was married Dec. Is, 1857, to
a Laidlaw, who preceded her in
death in 1880. To this union there
were born seven children, six of
Whom survive, one daughter, Cora,
san6 live sons, Emo, of Chicago;
Arthur of Redwood Falls, Mimi;
Charles, of Butte, Mont; and Ebert
and Alden, of Ladysmith. Bryon
died m infancy. She is also survived
by IL grandchildren and nine great
grandchildren.
Thet funeral was held at the Metho-
dist church, Ladysmith, Friday after
nnon at two o'clock, with interment
at Riverside cemetery.-Ladysmith

WATONWAN. COUNTY
HOG HOLDS WORLDS
RECORD FOR FASTING

A Duroc Jersey hog on the H.
Kroeker farm in Butterfield
township, Watonwan county,
has a record to enter with
some of the best fasters in the
world.
Last fall Mr.. Kroeker miss
ed the 250-pound porker and
thought it had strayed from
the farm or had been stolen.
The other day while he was
hauling some straw from a pile
in his field, he found the pig,
too weak even to grunt or
stand up
Careful feeding of water with
long handled spoon and then
milk soon brought the pig to
normal and he now is as frisky
as any of his porcine brothers.

Third: That. neither party is en-
titled to any other or further relief.
Fourth: That no costs be award
ed to- either party.
Memorandum
"There is no substantial conflict as
to religious tenets or doctrines. The
question of whether or not this con-
gregation is what is classed as an
independent" or congregational So
ciety," SO that it may choose it's af-
filiations with any general organiza-
ton not in conflict with its establish
ed faith and doctrines, as set forth
in its articles of incorporation and
constitution or remain free from such
affiliations if it so desires, is of some
Importance. Whether it shall, OF
shall not, affiliate with the new unit
ed church, or with the new synod, or
neither, is of very slight Importance.
That it's members shall remain united
and work in harmony with their own
congregation, is Of vital Importance.
ct may not be out of place to say
that where dispute of this kind
develops, it might be well for the pas
tor of the church not to take par
tial stand, but to take a neutral and
conciliatory position and to refrain
from utterances or publications that
will in any way aggravate the dis
pute. He is not the pastor of one
faction but of the entire congregation,
and may by his counsel and efforts dc
much to restore harmony and good
will.

Whenever there is a breeze, great

the park trees. An army of care
takers, armed with pals of paraffin
and brushes, have been battling with
the swarms.

Sunday, August 9Th the Redwood
Falls team will meet the fast Wanda
team at the Redwood Falls Fair
Grounds. The game will be called
at 2:3O P. M. sharp. This game looms
as the possible deciding game for the
second-half championship. Wanda
will be set to win this feature event
of the baseball season. The locals,
apparently, have come into their own
and can be expected to play good ball.
The management requests that unus-
ually good support be given at this
game as the expense for giving the
fans the classy brand of ball they
have had recently is too high for the
support given. TURN OUT FANS,
and help the Legion! They have
helped you.

SUMMERTIME

It was a dizzy old winter, with It's threatened outbreaks in Europe, and hec- tic old spring, but this is the good old sum- mertime. Life is short and time is fleeting, and why should we be always in hurry and nursing perpetual worry?
 Last month we slipped into our B. V. D.'s and this month we ought to take les son from the weather and slip out of our long accustomed mental traces and go dash ing headlong to the open pastures, where the June grass is lush and the birds are sing ing as joyously as before the kaiser descend ed upon Belgium, bringing in his wake such a scourge of plaques as would have made early Egypt appear pleasant paradise Dy comparison.
 We've grown accustomed to look upon life darkly. We have had wars and rumors of wars. We have known sufficiently ot evil and doubt. Our minds are weary ot the turmoil and the strife. We long for the quiet ways we knew before the war. And dame summer is knocking at the door and bidding us cast dull care aside for time; is inviting us to forget our perplexities, toss aside the problems that we have not been able to solve and go a-summering.
 And he is a wise man who will listen. There is something in the season that de- mands relaxation. It is not by accident that the railroads and the steamboat lines run excursions from June to September; it is not by chance that the seaside and mountain resorts are in full blast then, that the schools are closed and the playgrounds open. When the sun is high, the inclination to mental effort is low. Even the farmer who rejoices in the heat of summer pauses for breath between the seasons of harvest and fall blowing, and all the rest of us should take the hint and do likewise.
 It is summer again. The thermometer, if not the almanac, proves it. Therefore, "a fig for a care, fig for woe; let the world come, let the world go"-until fall breezes blow

THE CHURCH AND PROSPERITY

Prosperity is blamed for the lack of in- terest in our churches today. In the early pioneer days our god-fearing also Indian fearing ng-preachers drove miles across wild prairies to preach to the backwoods men in a little log hut. Now people won't walk over block to hear well-educated preach CT Money, and too many pleasures, have driven the thought of Christ far back into their minds.
 We give money to the church, but do we give it with as deep and humble feeling as the sacrificing pioneers did? No, we give it, and think our duty's done. While our forefathers didn't give such lavish gifts, they did give gifts that came straight from the heart. They were deadly in earnest, but our thoughts and feelings are divided up into too many parts. Pleasures lead.

ONION SHIPPING At
LAREDO REACHES PEAK

LAREDO. Tex, April 10.-One of
the biggest onion crops ever harvested
will be rolling to the market during
the coming weeks. The first carload
of onions raised in Texas for the
present season was shipped out Of La.
redo last week and the price brought
was $3.50 per crate.
The crop this year is exceptionally
fine and would have been in full
swing of harvest now had the past
two weeks of weather been more fav-
orable for maturing the already big
onions. The weather has been rather
cool and cloudy with a tendency to
dampness which has held the onions
back in their growth.
In the past Laredo has shipped
each year around 1000 cars of onions
and they have always topped the mar
kets for their flavor and size and this
year there has been organized a ship
pers' and growers association which
will be of material assistance in mar
keting the onions in such a way as to
keep them from flooding the markets.
This association will function for
the entire onion district of Laredo
and the Winter Garden section and
there is great merit in its functiOning.
The usual government assistance
will be given and every possible
agency will be turned to advantage If
the onion grower in harvesting and
marketing his crop this year.
The onion crop this year will pour
several millions Of dollars into Laredo
and Winter Garden districts
