 As the aspirant for heavyweight honors watched the youngsters that furnished the rest of the program it recalled to his mind his early advent into the squared circle. He remarked that he received the sum of S4 for his first professional bout and won it. This brought him before the public and his name appeared in print. This

cow of the same association pro-
duced 1921 pounds of milk and
131. 6 pounds of butterfat with an

provided her owner with yearly
income over cost of feed which
was six times greater than the in

err words, the income from the good
cow was found to be equal to that
of six cows having the productive
ability Of the poor COW, which
shows that one good COW in this
instance could well take the place
of six common cows. BY replacing
the low producing cows, the better
cows not only increase the income
over feed cost, but also require less
work and less room in the barn
and in the field and produce milk
and cream much more economi-
cally because of these factors, the
Institute states.

E. B. Wood Resident Of
Todd County, Is Dead
Came From a Family that Had a
Member in Every War of Our
Country Since Revolution g. &.
(I,ong Prairie Jeaderl

(L0ng Pralr1e Leader)
Long Prairie lost one of it's old
est and best known citizens Friday
morning when E. b. Wood passed
away. His death was not unex-
pected as he had been bedridden
since the early days of the summer
due to paralytic strokes, and for
several days preceding his death
he was more or less unconscious.
Death came at rlve o'clock Friday
morning.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist church Sunday after
noon at three O'clock. Rev. James
A. Geer officiaten and after pay
ing high tribute to Mr.. Woods
military career and other services
in behalf of his country, delivered
a short address upon the general
subject of 'The reacetime Sol
der" G.. H. Taylor, chaplain of
the local Grand Army post, paid a
short tribute to his departed com.
rade and read briefly from the
Grand Army ritual service.
Elisha IB. Wood was born on
a farm in Randolph county, Indi-
ana, May 10, 1916. His early home
was near the village of Ridgeville.
He was Of English ancestry and
members of his family have taken
prominent parts in all the wars in
which our country has engaged.
Mr.. Woods grandfather was a
Revolutionary War soldier and his
father, Samuel Wood, took part in
the War of 1872.
Mr.. Wood was one of twin
brothers, the names, Elijah T. and
Elisha B. being given them by
their mother, who was devout
Christian woman .ud who named
her sons after two of the famous
old testament prophets. They were
the youngest of a large family of
children. Together they grew up
on tie farm in Indiana, attending
the common schools in the vicinity
of Ridgeville. Afterward they at
tended the Farmers Academy. Just
as they were beginning their acad-
envy schooling the great Civil War
came on and all thoughts of eiu-
cation were thrust from the minds
! of the two boys, also of the other
brothers in the family. Although
the boys were only Is years OF
age, nevertheless they enlisted in
an Indiana company to do local
work in driving Confederates our
| of Ohio and Indiana. In 1865
when only IL years of age, Elishs
lB. Wood with his twin brother
Elijah T., enlisted in Company
"B", 7th Indiana Cavalry. Thi.
was at the height of the war perioe
| and two other brothers were thel
| in the Union arnaes. The two boy
were sent south at once and i'm
| mediately saw active service. Il

intended to represent the average
cost of operations of three of the
lines serving tn. territory: The
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and 500 Line. The rate proposed
for a distance of 208 miles into
Minneapolis was 16k cents, as
against the present rate of ID
cents, end 91a cents on the Bitney
scale.
Beidleman gave a detailed his
tory of the rates which have been
in effect on the Great Northern
since 1888 and discussed the var
ious features involved and the rea-
sons for the preent and proposed
practises. He said it was the policy
of his company to grant no free
transit except where uhe fact that
it existed via competing route re-
auirei its establishment in order
to participate in the business. In
his development of the history OF
transit on his line it apparently was
his purpose to show that the cost of
transit was not included in the
general level of the rates, as has
been contended by the advocates
of transit. The giving of the mill
ing or elevating privilege at inter-
mediate points at no extra charge
on a movement of grain wheat, the
rule in ither territories, is the ex-,
eeption in the northwest. The ex-
tention of that privilege to the
northwest has pecI consistently
eontended for by the Minneapolis
interests.
Beidleman said that the first
time his line granted the transit
privilege was in 1888, when a
charge of 8 cents for 100 pounds
was applied. The present charge
is 2 cents on Montana grain and
IL cents on grain originating in
the other territory served by the
Great Northern.

federate General Forest, near Ra-
leigh, Mississippi, in 1864 both
boys were wounded and Elijah T
Wood died of his wounds. Elisha
B. recovered and continued to
serve in his company until must
cred out of service at Austin, Tex
as, in March, 1866.
The end of the war found the
Wood brothers had suffered severe.
ly in behalf of their country
Charles r. Wood had been killed
in the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkan-
sas. Another brother, Andrew ] !.
Wood, who served in the famous
Iron Brigade, was badly wounded
in the battle of the Wilderness.
Elijah T. Wood, as mentioned
above, had been shot and killed in
the campaign against General For
est. Thus, two of the brothers had
been killed and another seriously
wounded. Two other brothers,
George and William Wood, who
had come to Minnesota in 1857 and
who had assisted in laying out the
village of Jackson, now the county
seat of Jackson county, Were killed
by renegade Sioux Indians of Chief
Ink-pa-duta's band. Few families
have rendered greater service in
behalf of their county than the
Wood family.
When the Spanish-American
War broke out in 1898 Mr.. Wood
offered his services and was ap-
pointed by Governor D. M.
Clough, captain of local company
organized in this community. 1t
was Company "K" Of the 14th Min
nesota Volunteer Infantry. This
company served during the war.
March %, 1888, he was married
to Miss Elizabeth Haines Stiles, of
Iowa. She was a woman of strong
personality and character and for
many years was leader among
the women of the village in social
affairs and otherwise. She died in
1924. Three children were born
to them, all of whom survive. They
are: VIM. IN. Wood, county at
torney of our county; Elizabeth
Wood, who is teacher in the high
school at Hibbing, and Helen

s'The intensive drive that has

more or less a specialized business
requiring special equipment and
special knowledge to make it a

it seems to me our aim should be
to develop we'll balanced agricul-
ture that will give employment to
the largest number of people per-

to fit the individual taste of the
people on the lana. -
"Under present conditions the
average farmer has not sufficient
income to meet the demands that

the standards of living Heretofore
set up. While it is always a wise
policy to be conservative and care
full in expenditures and in holding
taxes down to the minimum yet the
great problem before American ag-
riculture is to devise ways and
means to increase the income of
our farmer to such an extent that
he will be able to meet the de-
mands that are made of him and

living.

Agricultural Notes

If you are planning to treat seed
wheat with copper carbonate dust
for prevention of flag smut or
sinking smut (bunt), the sooner it
is done the better, for the capper
carbonate also affords "a consider
able measure of protection from
destruction by weevils, rats and
mice. Directions for treatment of
these and other smuts in wheat and
rye are printed in Farmers Bulle-
tin 154OlF, obtainable on applica-
ton to the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c.
The value of birds lies chiefly in
their destruction of injurious in

Fl to II, in a nip and tuck battle
that went to two extra periods for
decision when the score was
tied, II all, at the end of the regu-
lar playing time.
Featuring the game was the
tight defense put up by the locals,
which was so effective that the
classy Melrose machine was forced
to resort to long shots, being sue
cessful in only one short effort dur
ing the entire 38 minutes of hostil-
tiles. And that one came near the
end of the second overtime period
when Matchinski, grabbing the ball
after it had gone out of bounds,
dropped in the winning basket as
the Main Streeters made no at
tempt to stop him, thinking the
referee would call the ball dead.
That was only one of the tough
breaks that Sank Centre got, for
on three occasions, when the locals
heaved the ball through the
strings, the goals were not allowed
for one reason or another. And
another time, when Campbell was
apparently travelling, the official
ruled the basket legal. So it was
that, while the scoreboard didn't
register a Sank Centre win, it was
a moral victory nevertheless.
The largest crowd of the season
was witness to the evidence that
the locals were more than
match for the visitors. Leading
16 to 10 at the end of the third
quarter, it wasn't until the final
stanza that the -Kaslowites were
unable to score and it was then
that Coach O'Rourke's outfit were
fortunate to tally on long shots.
Field goals by Theisen, G.. Thomp-
son and Campbell,s together with a
free throw, switched the lead to
the eventual victorss II to 16, in
the last minute of play.
Shortly after this the fourth
quarter ended as the timers were
disputing whether foul, which
enabled Captain Leo Miller to knot
the count with a free throw, had
been committed before time was
up or not. Due to the veritable
bedlam of noise wn.ch accompan-
led the game from start to finish,
the official had not heard the tim
ers' signal and he had no alterna-
tive but to decree that an extra
period be played. The first extra
three minutes left the score un-
changed and then in the closing
seconds of the final period Match
inski and Campbell scored in quick
succession to break the tie and
win.
Scoring honors for the game
were divided between the two
Jims, Campbell and O'Gara, each
man netting the ball three times
from the field and once from the
foul line for 7 points. "

standing exceptions to the rue that
changes in retail price cause mark
ed changes in the quantity con-
sumed. In the Chicago market, for
example, an increase of l cent in
the price Of milk reduced consump-
ton by only about l u per cent. AS
result surplus Of milk can not
be disposed of by moderate re-
duction in the price of milk as is
the case with most other agricul-
tural products. For this reason
milk producers find it necessary to
find market in one way or an
other for surplus milk produced in
the months when the supply is
normally the greatest.
The best way to regain youth
full figure is to take sufficient ex-
ercise, and follow a safe reducing
diet. "A reducing diet is low in cal
cries, or fuel value. The watery
and bulky fruits and vegetables,
which are low in calories, or fuel
value, should predominant in the
diet of a person who has tendency
to- store up fat. Food to be used
sparingly, are the more concen-
trated foods, especially those rich
in starch, in fat content, and in
protein. 1t is fairly easy to limit
the amount of fat, since most of the
fat is added to the diet. This means
cutting down or limiting butter,
cream, and dishes prepared from
cream; salad oils of all kinds, fat
meat, and friend foods. If you
want salad dressing, make a SIM
pie French dressing, with lots of
vinegar or lemon juice, and very
little oil. A good salad dressing
can be made by using mineral oil,
as a substitute for the ordinary
salad oil. Mineral oil is not di-
gested, but simply Ects as filler,
and helps to carry flavor.

game, Sucn DIS uTlDDllHS, passing,
pivoting, feinting and sidestepp-
ing. Even the veteran Irgens and
Brendal were unable Co stem the
relentless attack of the Kaslowites,
who broke into the clear time and
again for clean shots at the hoop.
Starting in the first quarter the
locals forced the play to lead in
the first few minutes, to 0. The
quarter ended in a tie, 8 and 8,
however, and it was in the second
period that a commanding lead
was assumed, with the score % to
10 at half-time. The field-goal
scoring continued on an uneven
basis in the second half and only
the foul-shooting skill of Norgard s
men kept the count from becoming
too lop-sided.
Not for a long time have a pair
of forwards been as shot" as were
Ed Peterson and Carl Lewis in
this game. They were positively
sensational. Peterson, with nine
field goals and two foul tries fol-
20 points, was high scorer and
was closely followed by Lewis,
who made six baskets and one gift
shot for 13 points. While Eds
shots were of every variety Carl's
were mostly from just beyond the
big circle and never touched the
rim as they went swishing through.
His floor game was also notable
and he covered Irgens so thorough
ly that Glenwood's star center got
only two baskets, both in the first
half.
A large share of the credit for
the win should also go to Captain
Leo Miller, Paul Mayors and Jim
0Gara, who, while not figuring
very prominently in the scoring
played an important part in fol
lowing up long shots and in taking
the ball off the blackboard to pass
back to their forwards in better
position to shoot. Paul especially
was a demon on defense, and in
spite of not feeling particularly
well. In feeding to their forwards
as they did the Main Streeters
acted wisely as the results prove.
The only possible danger in this
was that the ball and the nets
might have become scorched from
lack of water-cooling equipment.
BY their remarkable showing
the Main Streeters can be said to
have definitely established them
selves as leading contenders for
the district championship. While
admittedly playing in rare form
Tuesday night, they should he
