Mr.. Bolstad of the Anti-Saloon
League visited in town Wednes-
day. While here he showed the
motion picture entitled Lest We
Forget, and he also gave lee
ture on the evils of the saloon
and intoxicating liquors.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
were typical Minnesota March
days of the lion" type. 1t seems
as if more snow fell on those
days than had fallen during the
earlier part of the winter. Huge
snow drifts piled up on the big
drifts that were there before.
Travelling on country roads be-
came difficult, and the bus trans
portation on the highway was
curtailed.
A dance and show is billed for
the village hall St. Patrick's
evening, March 18th. The show
will consist of motion picture
and comedy, and the dance will
be put on after the show. Phil
Gray's five piece orchestra will
furnish the music for the show
and dance. This is put on under
the auspices of the local camp of
R. N. A. and they will furnish
lunch after the dance.
The votes cast at the election
Tuesday was very light. Due
to the difficulty in travelling, few
of the country people came in to
cast their ballot. The results of
the town election was as follows:
Supervisor for three years, R. A.
Bissonette, reelected; treasurer,
Glenn E. Olson, reelected; town
clerk, Frank King, reelected;
constable, Irving Smith. In the

CELEBRATE FOUNDERS
WEEK, MOODY INSTITUTE
Orthodoxy and Missions Pro-
pounded at the 21st Founders
Week Conference at Chicago
Institute.

At the twenty-first annual
Founders Week conference at
the Moody Bible Institute of
Chicago, Bishop Frederick d.
Leete of the Methodist Episcopal
Church spoke on THE Age Long
Conspiracy against Jesus He
said: Il am perfectly certain that
in the realm of the intellect and
in the realm of divine truth
there are some things that are
inherently right and everlasting
ly true and on some of these it
does seem to me it is about time
that Christendom got together
and stayed together" Quoting
Stanley Jones, Methodist mission
airy of India, the Bishop said,
I'VE can't defend everything at
the same time. In India we are
finding that the wisest thing to
do is to follow the strategy of a
great military leader who dis
covered that it was hard to de-
fend a too greatly extended
front and SO massed his forces in
the center. The best thing we
can do is to mass in the center
and stand for the things that are
absolutely necessary and most
certainly defensible."
The Bishop departed from his
usual custom and used a manu-
script because he said, Il want
to say exactly what | want to
say and want everybody to
know exactly what | have exactly
tried to exactly say" His ad-
dress was thoughtful and stimu-
lating but stern and uncompro-
missing in its appeal.
Another Methodist of distinc-
ton who was heard with profit
was Professor John A. Faulkner,
D. D., of Drew Theological Sem
mary, who spoke twice. His
most Illuminating address an
swered negatively the question
of it's subject, WAS Wesley a
MODERNISM" DR.. Faulkner ad-
mitted that Wesley had hospit-
able and progressive mind; that
he eliminated doctrinal tests save
three for his societies; that he
was practical rather than theore-
tical; and that he pared down"
the Thirty-nine Articles for the
use of his societies. These he
said would give a certain plausi-
bility to the modernistic claim
but Wesley was strictly orthodox
in his settlement of doctrines for
his conferences, Justification,
Sanctifcation, the Bible, the
Trinity, and good old Christian
ity."

Striking Beauty Stood at the Door.
woman of slender build and rather
striking beauty stood at the door.
There was surprise, and, as Thought,
q suggestion of fear in her eyes. More
remarkable was the sudden and I'M
mistakable relief which sprang into
her expression when she had seen us
clearly.
I am not detective, even of the
amateur kind, but / found myself in
stantly gripped by a conclusion. "The
woman Is afraid" I-said to myself,
"and yet she is no coward, she has no
fear Of strangers, but she Is afraid of
someone-afraid Of someone she
knows. She was relieved when she
saw we were strangers" The thought
was one which was to recur to me
from many angles during the next few
months.
She seemed to hesitate about greet
ing us, and Jean, always the quick
witted one Of our quartette, was the
first to break rather stupid silence.
She sprang lightly from the wagon and
went forward with arms outstretched.

CHAPTER VII

Affairs began to move with some
rapidly In our little settlement. Until
now we had had the world, as far as
the eye could carry, to ourselves, but
Spool proved only the advance guard
of a stream of neighbors which, from
Its source in a dozen different springs
Of humanity, was to pour In upon us
during the next few months. Wednes-
day night we came back from Spoofs,
as we had little shyness about being
overtaken in our good works, and the
next morning, while was gulping
great draughts of ozone in front Of the
shack before breakfast, Marjorie called
over my shoulder:
whats that, away to the east,
FrankT
Sure enough, there was little white
pyramid outlined against the horizon
another tent pitched against front
trenches of civilization.
"Neighbors, Marjorie; neighbors!"
said. "We're getting to be quite
community Do you ever think Of the
day when all this wilderness of prairie
will be plowed, every foot Of It; all
bearing something for the worlds
needs, with prosperous farmhouses at
every corner, schools, churches"
Il smell the porridge!" Marjorie ex-
claimed, rushing into the shack. She
had way of cutting off my rhapsodies
like that.
lack had seen fhe tent. too. and he
and Jean came over at noon to discuss
it. We decided to knock off work
early that evening and all drive over
to make the acquaintance Of the new
corners.
We found that the tent was pitched
on Eighteen, in the next township to
the east. As we came up we were
greeted by fine collie dog, who
seemed to be suffering from the con-
ficting emotions of his natural good
humor and a sense that we had no
business on Eighteen. His rush upon
us with great barking and show OF
ferocity ended in much aimiable tail
wagging. Evidently we measured up
to his requirements, which we took to
be no mean compliment.
A team of ponies were tethered on
the prairie not far away, and demo-
erat stood beside the tent, with some
of it's burden still to be unloaded.

STABILITY
SEEN FOR YEAR 1926

NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 1s.-In-
vestment bankers are sweeping the
business horizon with spy glass.
They prophesy steady employment for
1925 with apparently no diminishing
of building operations, one of the ba-
sic industries, with manufacturing
continuing sound and agricultural con-
ditions skabilizing. These bankers
are watching for overproduction, and
statistics seem to show that the pro-
ducts Of the nations industries are
being absorbed by trade.
There are outside factors, however,
such as the stimulation Of markets by
the pouring Of American gold abroad
SO the Europeans can trade with as,
the re-entry Of European industries in
world commerce and the trend of
prices that must be watched carefully
In the course Of the next twelve
months.
