In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear brother, Clarence r. Baker, who
departed this life November 27, 1924:
Just three years ago today, our dear
brother passed away.
He received a message from above,
And was borne to heaven on wings OF
Love.
Dear brother how we miss you,
Miss you more than tongue can tell.
Every hour and day that passes,
Brings us nearer with you to dwell.
You are gone, but not forgotten.
You will meet us here no more.
But we hope some day to meet you,
on that bright and happy shore.
Sadly missed by his brother, Elmer

DEXTER JOINS
STAFF OF n. P.
FARM BUREAU
Will Engage in Agricultural
Development Work in
Minnesota and N. u.

A. J. Dexter, until recently county
agent leader in South Dakota, today
Joined the staff Of the newly re-
organized agricultural department of
the Northern Pacific railway COM
pany. He will be engaged in agri-
cultural development activities in the
railroads territory in North Dakota
and Minnesota.
The announcement of the appoint
ment was made by John w. Haw,
director Of the agricultural develop
ment department. Selection Of Mr..
Dexter for work in the important
region to which he will devote him.
self is in line with a policy recently
announced by J. G.. Woodwork, vice
president Of the railway, which policy
seeks through appointment of ex-
perienced and qualified men to bring
about effective cooperation with
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies now engaged in developing the
territory. The program calls for as
sisting the individual farmer in his
effort to find the best methods to
make his farm profitable.
Native Of Wisconsin
Mr.. Dexter was born sand raised on
Farm near Madison, Wis. He grad
uated from the agricultural course at
the University Of Wisconsin, and
later taught agricultural courses at
high schools at Walworth and Edger-
ton, Wis. Subsequently he took en-
plOyment as county agricultural agent
at Clark. s. D. In that position he
introduced. purebred sires, standard
lied strain Of Silver King corn and
developed boys and girls club work.
He was promoted to the state extern
sion office at Brookings in 1921, serv-
ing as district extension agent for
the north half Of South Dakota. In
1926 he was promoted to the position
Of county agent leader, which he
just has resigned to become affiliated
with the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Dexter's new headquarters will
be in the general offices at St. Paul.
More Farmers Needed
ut is conceded. generally that
northwest states need more farmers,
more substantial farm settlers, as
there is much undeveloped farming
country and need for more farmers
to. break up large land holdings for
intensive diversified farming" Mr..
Haw said. "Mr. Dexter will lend his
effort to colonization work now un-
der way in the department. with
which he will be associated. Salts
fled, successful farmers are the best
Immigration agents"
apart of my work will be to help
the new settlers solve their prob
lems,t Mr.. Dexter said. "North Da-
kota and Minnesota offer wonderful
farming opportunities to the man
who applies tried and proven methods
of success in those areas"

not tremblc. The lad said he was
sorry for what he had done and Was
convinced he would be forgiven by
his Maker. ~.
Two ministers offered prayer be-
fore the trap was sprung. He was
pronounced dead after II minutes.

while the cap, moose and straps were
being adjusted. The operations Of
the execution were carried on swiftly
and without hitch, OCCUPYING scarce
ly two minutes. The trap was
sprung almost before the witnesses
realized that it was over.
Cheerful to the Last
A few hours before his death, the
youth ate specially prepared chick
en- dinner with zest. He was taken
from his cell to dining room and,
with press reporters and his jailer
for company, seemed very cheerful.
He talked freely. He said he believed
he is saved and is going to better
place. He was baptized into a
-
Protestant minister arranged to be
with him to the end. -.
In his Jail Thursday, the lad was
visited by his mother and relatives.
The mother requested that his body
be delivered to her.
The youth was convicted on first

staying Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Gels
ler on May 2, 1926. He was specifi-
cally charged with the murder of
