SO there, too, it was Lindbergh
who led the way.
w. B. Whitney, "a years old,
Civil war veteran, and theoldest
resident of Melrose, remembers
August Lindbergh well as one OF
his associates.
"When he made up his mind to
a thing and believed himself in the
right, no one could change his
opinion" Mr.. Whitney said. "He
was as courageous and as trust
worthy as he was stubborn in
holding his views. -.
"He told me he had come to

First Lindbergh Resided Be-
tween Sauk Centre-Melrose

Melrose. On his arrival home, his
wife undertook his care until
doctor could be found and sur
gical aid procured. For three days
and nights, Mrs. Lindbergh kept
cold applications on the wound be-
fore a doctor arrived. The treat
ment and her vigil saved her hus-
bands life.
After the wound had healed,
Mr.. Lindbergh set resolutely
about learning to do his farm
work with one arm and hand, with
what little use he could get from
the stump of the other arm. Only
a man of unusual resolution could
have faced the situation so con-
fidently.
In this as in other things he
was known by his neighbors to be
answering, once he had made up
his mind and believed he was right.
He might have found some sort of
/ clerical work by leaving his claim;
for he had had a good education
in Sweden and even had been a
member of the parliament. But
he had resolved that although
Fate had dealt him a hard blow he
would no go down to defeat.
He rigged up belt with a ring
on it when it came time to use his
scythe in the harvest. Through this
ring the put one of the handles of
the implement so that, as he swung
the scythe with his one hand, the
necessary leverage would be given
to cut the swath. 1t was no easy
thing to reeducate his nerves and
muscles to the new motions, but he
did it, and he found ways Of doing
other field work and the chores
The neighbors marveled at what
he had made possible.
Eventually, because education
had equipped him for it, Mr.. Lind,
bergh was chosen town clerk, JUS
tice of the peace and village post.
master, posts in which he gave
much service for little remunera
tion. He continued to carry on his
farm work.

John o. Olson, Alexandra, ap-
peared before Judge j. A. Roeser
in district court at st. Cloud.
Wednesday, and entered plea OF
guilty to charge of selling in
toxicating liquor. In spite OF
pleas for clemency on the part OF
the defendants counsel, Judge
Roeser sentenced the man to serve
80 DAYS in the Douglas county
iail at Alexandria and to pay a
cash fine of 5000.
Olson was arrested following
the death of Henry Feslien ten
days ago. Foslien died from loss OF
blood after "a car in which he was
riding and being driven by Marvin
IWalstad, Alexandra, tipped over
on a highway near Alexandria, APP
parently without cause. Foslien's
arm was thrust through a glass
window in the car and one of the
main arteries was cut. He did not
receive medical attention for an
hour afterward.
Olson admitted the sale of liquor
to Walstad and admitted knowing
that he had been drinking when he
came to the st. Francis rooming
house, operated by Olson.
Feslien, according to hospital
attendants who cared for him,
stated that there was no evidence
that the young man had been
drinking and friends state that ne
seldom, if ever, drank intoxicating
liquor.
Olson was arrested some three
months ago by city authorities in
Alexandria and was charged with
operating liquor nuisance.
Feeling in Alexandria and
Douglas county is said to have
been running high against Olson
following the death Of young Fos-

Agricultural Notes
Minnesota Cereals
Lead Old-World Test

Lead Old-World Test
Gopher oats, Minnesota rye
No. 2 and Manchuria barley (Minn
No. 184), which were developed,
tested and recommended for use
by plant breeders of the Minneso-
ia Agricultural Experiment SUa-
tion( have demonstrated their su-
peaiority not only in this country
but in foreign lands as well.
Under tests carried on at an
experiment station at Landshut in
the province of Silesia, Germany,
Gopher oats yielded far more grain
and straw than seven other varie-
ties which were under test at the
same time. Gopher oats yielded
8 20 cwt. of grain per acre as
against 5 cwt per acre the next
highest. All varieties suffered
from wet, cold season and yields
were below the normal.
Minnesota rye No. 2 proved
very hardy and ripened early, and
was the best of all the rye varie-
ties under test. Mindum and Ruby
led the wheat test by a big margin.
Eighteen two-row varieties of
barleys were used in the expert
ments with that grain. Manchur-
ia, which was originated at the
Minnesota station, proved the best
yielder. It's yield of grain per acre
was 9.93 cwt. as compared with
SOL cwt. to the acre, the yield of
it's nearest competitor. The seed
expert of the Landshut station
said the yield would doubtless have
been higher if the season had not
been so wet.
Seed for the experiments in
Germany was obtained of the Min
nesota Crop Improvement associa-
ton, to which reports of the tests
| have been made.
