SKELETONS FOUND
AT LAKE MARION

What are probably relics of the
olden days when the red men roamed
this part of the country were found
in a shallow grave on the julius
Fratzke farm on the northeast shore
of Lake Marion last week. Monday
afternoon Ruben Fratzke was dig
ging gravel on the top of bank over
looking the north end of the lake
when his pillow struck and turned up
a number of bones. Further investi-
cation showed that they were the re-
mains of two human skeletons
which were buried in the gravel in a
shallow grave about two feet in depth.
The gravel was being dug to gravel
the driveway into the farmyard. The
two skeletons were lying pointed due
north and south, one with it's head
to the north and the other, close be-
side it and Tapped about half, with it's
head to the south. The remains ap-
pear to be those of two Indians, one
evidently having been we'll over six
feet in height and the other some
what smaller.-Olivia Times.

SLEEPY EYE MAN
OWNS FIRST ORGAN

A fifty-six year old organ, the work
of earlier manufacturers, and the
first musical instrument in the Sleepy
Eye community, was shipped back to
that city last Wednesday and is now
in the hands of DR.. j. w. B. Welcome,
whose father purchased the instru-
ment and brought it with him to
Sleepy Eye when he came here in the
summer of 1873, fifty-five years ago.
Following the senior DR.. Welcomes
death the musical instrument became
the property of son, DR.. F. H. Well
come, who moved from here to Gran
lite Falls and later to Minneapolis
where he died some five years ago.
His widow died a year or more ago
and thus the valued piece of craft
was handed down the line until now
it becomes the property of DR.. Well
come of Sleepy Eye.
Although bearing the marks of
years the instrument is intact and in
fairly good shape considering its
years of service. The instrument, a
highly priced possession at that time,
was here while wagon trains still
passed over the plains on the west
ward tide of immigration, and what
music was heard in those years came
from a merry fiddler as the trains
halted on their long journey over
the western trail.
The late DR.. Welcome was among
the first settlers in this section and

Several species of flies commonly
found in houses resemble the true
house fly so closely that it is diff
cult to distinguish them from it. One
of these is the biting stable fly which
is so often mistaken for the house
fly that many people think the lat
ter can bite. Several species of metal
lie greenish or blush flies are some
times found in houses; and still an
other fly, smaller one, is called the
lesser house fly, but is distinguished
from the house fly by its paler and
more pointed body. The true house
fly-which is found in all parts OF
the worlds medium sized fly
with four black stripes on its back
and sharp elbow in one of the veins
on it's wings. The true house fly can
not bite, it's mouth parts being spread
out at the tip for sucking up liquid
substances.

MORGAN ELEV. CO.
TOEXTEND CHARTER
Favorable Vote Taken at Nor
gan Meeting Held by Stock
holders Last Tuesday.

The charter of the Farmers Eleva.
tor Co. of Morgan, which runs for a
period of twenty-five years, expires
within the next few months, and al
the annual meeting of the organiza-
ton held at the city hall at Morgan
last Tuesday afternoon the stockhold.
ers took cognizance of this import
ant fact and after discussion voted
on resolution to extend the char
ter.
There are certain requirements OF
the law to be met and the matter is
now in the hands of the board of dir
ectors.
In order to meet the requirements
of the law, to extend the charter,
1T may be necessary to call special
meeting to secure a large stock vote.
Unless the charter were extended
1T would be necessary to liquidate
the business at the end of the period
for which the charter is granted and
possibly organize a new concern to
take over the business.
The annual report showed that the
concern handled a large volume of
business during the past year and is
considerably above the average in
volume of business.
While much of the corn crop was
not merchantable last year and the
oats crop was light, the local coop
elevator handled 6O,533 bushels of
wheat, 1894 bushels flax, 21,247
bushels barley, 37,767 bushels oats,
2S,734 bushels corn and 39,169 BUSH
els of rye. This volume in money
represented $196, 1912.
Buying grain is just one of the
functions of the elevator concern.
About $53,324 worth of merchandise
was handled and distributed among
the farmers and others. The mer-
chandise includes coal, wood, salt,
flour, feed, tankage, Irvine, posts,
gates, wire, etc.
There are nine members on the
board of directors, three being elect
ed each year. Members reelected
last Tuesday were VIM. Henning, VIM.
Hillger and E. A. Zimmerman.
There are $3.50 farmers elevator
associations in the United States list
ed by the department of agriculture.
For the crop year 1926 and 1927,
which of course is the year previous
to the report made by the local ele-
vator Tuesday, the farmers elevators
throughout the country handled $780,
100000 in grain sales which is an
average of less than $136,5OO each,
which is much lesser volume than the
local elevator has handled in recent
years. The coop elevators are locat-
ed in % states, but those in eight
states including Minnesota handled
over four-fifth of the total volume
done by those organizations.-Mor

FARM Use OF
ELECTRICITY
Survey Made In Texas
Of Consumption In

COLLEGE STATION. March s.-tR
Preliminary steps in determining
now electric power may be furnished
more extensively to Texas farms
have been completed by the Texas
Committee on the Relation OF Elec-
tricity TO Agriculture, President.
T. O. Walton Of A. 4 NJ. College,
chairman Of the committee, an
nounced taoday.
A survey Of sos farms in So coun-
ties has been made to determine to
what extent and in what manner
electricity Is now being used on the
farms This Is 10 form the basis for
@ mcr intensive study 20 enable
power companies and farmers TO de-
ternine what must be done 10 make
such energy available throughout the
state.
The survey was made by personal
visits to farms served from central
power stations, more than 500 ques-
ticns being asked at each farm. IL
was under the direction of ]. &.
Waggoner, director of the committee
While tabulated figures showed
that 2S2 or 6S.1 per cent Of these
farms averaged only 1s.44 kilowatt
hours Of electrical energy consumed
per month, the general average Of
the SOS farms was 1894 kilowatt
hours per month and, the survey
states, should this or a higher fig
ure be found to be the economic
monthly consumption of the average
farm, then there will be bright pros
poets for rural extensions"
Six classifications 1rom a land
standpoint, were included in the sur
vey, black waxy prairie. cross tim
bers, low plains, northeast Texas,
Rio Grande Valley and the winter
garden area. Ten classifications
were made from the standpoint Of
major crop income, cotton, dairy,
general, poultry, truck. grain, live
stock, winter garden and unclassi-
fled.
Conditions we're found vastly diff
ferert in the Rio Grande and winter
garden sectors from the others, due
to the fact that irrigation is the
main power load. Eliminating these
two divisions IL was discovered that
the average farm visited used l7.2 per
cent of the energy consumed for
lighting, 1872 per cent for Household
equipment and only 9.5 per cent for
farm equipment. II Is this latter use
Of electric power. the committee said,
that can be increased. Electric ap-
pliances in the home. she report said,
make life more comfortable. but the
use Of electric power equipment in
ereases the farm income.
All except seven of the farms visit
ed had electric lights installed in the
house. Thlrty-one per cent had lights
in barns, houses. granaries. pump
houses or servant houses.
