1880, first census figures available,
and although the city suffered a
setback between the years of 1905
and 1910, the loss was more than
made up before the census of 1920.
There is no doubt that the city
lost considerable when the Keller
factory burned, and many men fol-
lowed the company to Minneapolis
to make their homes. On the other
hand a gain in population result
ed when the Home School located
in this city sometime during the
period following the census of 1910.
Minnesota's first census was TAX
en- in 1850, and another was taken
in 1857. Then followed a number
of state and federal enumerations,
viz: 1860, 1855, 1870, 1875, 1880, 1885,
1890, 1895, 1900, 1905, 1910, 1920,
1880, and 1870
In the latest population count
are included 169 people, employees
and girls, Of the Home Schools.

Honored Charter
Members and Founder
With Special Program

Two charter members, another
longtime active honorary member,
and the memory Of founder, Mrs.
E. ]. Lewis, were especially cited
last week Wednesday afternoon
when the 45-year-old Gradatim Club
reviewed its rich heritage and hon
ored jointly the organization Of the
local group and the golden jubilee
Of the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs Of the United States.
The meeting was the "at home"
that is now traditional with the
club, for this annual meeting was
inaugurated in 1897, two years af-
ter the organization Of the club.
As the group last Wednesday
went back through the history of
the club, that is a unique organiza-
ton in this town, they honored
the memory of Mrs. E. ]. Lewis,
tireless pioneer worker in the club
and founder. They honored char
ter members Mrs. e. Richards and
Miss Eva Davis.
To Mrs. c. E. Bohall the club
presented the pioneer women's
medal. Mrs. Bohall, not a charter
member, but active for nearly thir-
ty years, has the distinguished rec
ord for having the longest record
of active service in the club with
the exception Of Mrs. Lewis.

Mrs. G. A. Klar said: TN each pro-

Representatives of
Townships Elected AS
Committee Members
MAYOR AS CHAIRMAN
Act As Part of National
Group Organized
In Twelve States

Over 100 farmers, representing
eleven townships in Stearns Coun-
ty, as well as two from Todd Coun-
ty and some from Pope, were in
attendance at the mass meeting
held in the Community Club rooms
in this city Monday evening. This
meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing ways and means to
get the government to cancel emer-
gency feed and seed loans.
Mayor S. G. Schwarzbauer acted
as chairman of the meeting and in
troduced the speaker, Edward e.
Barsness, editor Of the Pope Coun-
ty Tribune, Of Glenwood. Mr..
Barsness is the national secretary
Of the farm organization set up
for this purpose.
The farmers present organized as
a part of the National Group for
the Relief of Seed and Feed Loans,
and elected the following members
as a committee to carry out its
purpose in this community: B. H.
Otte, Sank Centre Township, chair
man; Gerrit Jansen, Raymond
Township, secretary; John Lentz,
Melrose Township; Alex Botz, Get
ty Township; Frank Peschek, Get
ty Township; Gust Quade, Ashley
Township; Anton Steinhoff, North
fork Township; Theo. Fredericks,
West Union Township, and George
Sukke, Kandota Township, the lat
ter two from Todd County.
Mr.. Barsness in his talk asked
the businessmen to cooperate with
the farmers in this effort to get seed
and feed loans cancelled. He said
the farmers do not ask cancella-
ton Of these loans as a special
privilege, but they consider it a
national calamity, the same as
drouth, etc. He cited figures and
gave reasons why the loans should
be cancelled.
The committee elected at this
meeting will have as part Of it's
duties the matter Of informing the
public Of their reasons for cancel
lation, and to contact representa-
tives and senators for their sup
port in this problem. They will
work as q unit in cooperation with
similar units in twelve states, said
Gerrit Jansen, secretary Of the local
organization.
AS final business Of the meeting
the farmers adopted the following
resolution, which sets forth reasons
for their desire to have these loans
cancelled:
WHEREAS, in the years of 1888
to 1885, inclusive, the farmers Of
large areas in the United States
