•i— PAGE TWO COME Join With Us on Our Next Excursion, and See for Yourselves, the Great Land Values We Have to Offer In The LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY OF TEXAS Much has been said with reference to the resources, opportunities and possibilities of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Fourteen years ago, this Valley was a vast cattle ranch, without a railroad. Since the advent of the St. Louis, Browns ville & Mexico Railway, these lands have been placed on the market and made available for the farmer people from all over the world have been attracted to this wonderfully rich country, by reason of its climatic conditions and general healthfulness, together with the excellent opportunities offer ed for the growing of corn, cotton, hay, sugar cane, trucks, fruits, as well as for dairying, hog and stock raising and di versified farming. Twenty towns and villages have been established in this great Valley since the railroad came in and the shipments for 1917 totaled 2,219 carloads of food stuffs harvested before June 1st. This Valley is from three to fourteen miles in width and fifty miles long and all the lands within the reparian rights are available for water from the Rio Grande River, through one of the finest irrigation systems in the United States and this water carries with it, a silt which acts as a fertilizer for the soil, which produces three abundant crops a year. In 1917, 60,000 acres of the Valley cultivated under irrigation, produced and sold over $6,000,000 worth of pro duce, during the driest season in the history of Texas. The J. C.

Editor Willmar Tribune: Having heard, with regret, that Mrs. Mathias Hanson has passed away, I feel like saying a few words about her. In 1889 my mother was sick all summer. One day my youngest sis ter got the measles. She lay in her bed upstairs. One day Mrs. Mathias Hanson and Mrs. Nels Hanson came with differ ent delicacies to mother, Hearing there were two patients in the house, they went upstairs. When they came down they asked for hammer and nails which I found then they looked around and found some boards which they thought would do. Soon a little hammering was heard and soon a little bed had been put. up in mother's bedroom for the little lonely patient from upstairs. Mother of course was glad to have her little girl where she could see her and talk to her. It made it much easier for me too to care for them when they were both down stairs. Little sister soon got alright but not so with moth er. One Sunday forenoon four mother less children were alone in the house with their dead mother. Father had gone to Willmar to arrange for the funeral, etc. It was a fine Sunday morning. A few people called in on their way to church to find out how mother was. Hearing she was dead they passed on. Mrs. M. Hanson also came to church where she heard of mother's death. She also found out that we children were alone. This was more than her motherly heart could endure. Taking her little girl, Betsey, with her, she walked down here and I know that she brought comfort to four mother less children that Sunday morning. She staid that night and next day, went home, and came again and assist ed us all she could and she did not do it out of mercenary motives either. Because a favor in those tijnes were paid with "I thank you." She was hardy and strong. When there were no roads and deep snow she a husband came to church walking on skis. For many years she was the leader of the Ladies Aid in our congrega tion. The ladies were not so used to work together as they are now so it was not always so easy for the leader to get the work to go without friction but by skillful maneuvering it went alright. She did her full share of the work when we had our annual summer picnics and otherwise so I feel that we in this congregation owe her a debt of gratitude for what she has done while she lived out here. Mrs. J. J. Hamnes. Peterson-Wolberg. The marriage of Miss Esther Wol berg, daughter of Mrs. V. Wollberg of this city, and Mr. Arthur G. Peter son, son" of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Peter son of Tripolis, was solemnized at three o'clock p. m. August 24th at the Tripolis parsonage, Rev. Tillman officiating. The attendants were Miss Emma Peterson, a sister of the groom, and Mr. Arthur Wolberg, a brother of the bride. The bride wore a Pekin blue broadcloth suit. After the ceremony, a six o'clock dinner was served at the bride's home for relatives and a few intimate friends. The decorations were gladi olas and sweet peas. Covers were laid for twenty-five. Out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. G. Nelson of Brooten, the former a brother of the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson will make their home at 611, 4th St. South in this city.

Washington, Aug. 27.—With a gen eral informal understanding to provide for nation-wide "bone dry" prohibi tion beginning July 1, 1919, and con tinuing during the war, the Senate to morrow will resume consideration of the prohibition measure which has been pending for many months. Leaders of both "wet" and "dry" factions late today announced that sen timent was general in support of the compromise negotiated to postpone the effective date of absolute prohibition from January 1, 1919, as proposed in the pending bill, until July 1, next. Prompt passage of the measure with the compromise included was predict ed. Some leaders believed it might be passed tomorrow, but Senator Shep pard of Texas manager of the dry forces, said the final vote probably would not be reached before Thursday. Under the compromise arranged by leaders of the two Senate factions to be formally presented as an amend ment by Senator Sheppard, manufac ture of beer and wines would stop May 1, 1919, instead of Nov. 1, as pro vided in the present bill. Production of distilled beverage al ready has ceased under the food con trol law. Wine interests are expected to make a final fight to postpone operation of the measure. At a hearing today before the Sen ate agriculture committee, represent atives of California grape growers ask ed for postponement of the prohibition effective date until July 1, 1920.—As sociated Press. Get Out of the Liquor Business, Uncle Sam. In every honest business transac tion there are three parties concern ed, the seller, the buyer, and the com munity generally. The business which gives profit or gain to one party and fleeces either of the other two part ies is a swindle. Test the liquor traf fic by this standard and mark the re sult. Two men, Brown and Green, each have one thousand dollars. Brown spends his money in whisky. Result: The whisky seller gets the thousand, dollars and makes a profit. Brown has parted with his thousand dollars and got—nothing, plus impair ed health, ruined character, degraded life, and perhaps a criminal record. The community is impoverished by the amount of waste of wealth of one of its members, plus the poverty, disorder, accident, crime, etc., which attends the drinking, and the conse quent taxation involved. Green spends his money in building a house with the following results: The builder gets the money and makes a profit on the transaction Green has parted his money, but now has a house equal in value to the money, plus the com fort, increased advantages, social standing and credit which attends a property owner. The community is benefited by the wise expenditure of one of its members, together with the proportion of taxes which the property will pay. Every citizen is interested in every new building, no matter who is the owner. The legislation which gives license to waste, and takes a revenue from it, is doing the worst that can possibly be done for the re sources of my country.—Prof. John A. Nicholls. Two Cardinals. Cardinal Gibbons, America: "I am opposed to any state-wide or nation-wide prohibition measure. A law of this kind interferes with the personal liberty and rights of the peo ple and creates hypocrisy on .the part of the public. The history of the world down to the present time dem onstrates the fact that the people have and always will indulge in in toxicants, irrespective of any restrain ing power that it is attempted to sad dle upon them."

No. indeed! I am only dis charging my duty as a Catholic, as a priest, as bishop, in coming to co-op erate with you in the struggle against alcoholism.

And first of all be educating public opin ion, preparing the way for intervention by law." Which is the more civilized—the more Christian—view? Building the Cactus Hedge. While in Arizona I saw the peculiar bird caller a road runner and I learn ed that when he meets a rattlesnake, instead of having a bloody encounter with him, he begins to pick off the cactus and surrounds the snake with a circle of cactus pieces then he picks them up piece by piece and puts them closer to the snake until the poison ous reptile is shut in a close place and, unable to cross the cactus hedge, he stings himself to death. That is what we are doing with the traffic that bit eth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. We are shutting him up in close quarters in a few wet cities and a few backward states and in this close confinement we are going to let him sting himself to death.—William Jennings Bryan. A Struggle All Unnecessary. "The great load of misgiving in the mother's heart when her boy leaves home to make his own way in the world," says Mr. Bryan, "would give way to joyous hope were the saloon removed from the path that he must tread—if he could go into the world with no danger of temptation from this menace to mind, morals and life. "The most pathetic struggle this world knows is not the struggle be tween armed men upon the battle fields it is the struggle of a moth er to sate her child from the traps men set for it." A UNIQUE RECORD Grateful testimony for Doan's Kid ney Pills, published everywhere is of itself convincing evidence of merit. Confirmed testimony forms still stronger evidence. Years ago, a citi zen of this vicinity gratefully acknowl edged the benefit derived from Doan's Kidney Pills. The statement is now confirmed—the proof more convinc ing. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney PUls— the record is unique. Fred Peterson, Granite Falls, Minn., says: "I was taken with pain in my back, which nearly bent me double. I had a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions and they con tained sediment.. My back was lame and sore and I had a dull, nagging feeling across my hips. Doan's Kid ney Pills quickly removed tha trou ble." HASN'T SUFFERED SINCE. Over three years later, Mr. Peter son said: "I seldom have any trouble with my kidneys or back now:" Price 60c, at all dealers.

These figures are not guesswork, but are taken from actual tests and prove the great efficiency and pulling power of The Turner Simplicity. _. _. _- __ CAPACITY—Two to three 14" plows. The Turner Simplicity will actu ally pull three 14" plows under ordinary soil conditions. The plow rating 1B based on plowing an average depth, not on shallow plowing BELT PULLEY—14" diameter, 7" face, flange mounted and easily re movable, controlled by main clutch lever from engine cab, 600 R. P. M. Belt clearance both ways. The Turner Simplicity is an ideal machine for belt work as it is handy to operate and its great range of smooth, steady power, makes it adaptable for either light or heavy belt work. FRONT AXLE—Channel steel, provided with very stiff radius rods, and allowing great flexibility over rough ground. Front wheel spring mounted on front axle. FRONT WHEELS—6" 30" spring mounted. The springs greatly re duce the vibration and lengthen the life of the motor and other parts. DRIVE WHEELS—54" 10" mounted on roller bearings.

It also avoids the necessity of special hitches BRAKES—Individual foot brakes, making possible independent control of each rear wheel, thus facilitating short turning and handling on bad footing. They can be operated either separately or at once. The advantage of this can be easily understood. FUEL TANKS—Kerosene 15 gallons. Gasoline 5 gallons. As the en gine consumes about a pint of fuel per horse power hour, the fuel capacity is ample for longe runs without refilling. TURNING—6 1-2 foot inside turning radius, short enough for all prac tical purposes. HOOD—The hood and guards are made from 16 gauge sheet steel, strongly braced and riveted, perfectly protects all of the working parts and is easily removable- Large doors, giving easy access to working parts.

The Branch House is the place in the packing organization where what the packing plant does for you isput where you can use it Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch Houses are located in distributing centers all over the country. They are fitted out with refrigerating equipment to keep meat cool, sweet and fresh. Each one is in personal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it They are directed by men who have spent years learninghow to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed. Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct fromthe packingplants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet Your meat dealer comes here to buy your meatforyoif—unless some one else can treat him better then we can.
