B. Nelson, of the War Ten Commercial Club, has been in communication with the State High way Commission for some time rela tive to completing the unfinished por tions of Trimk Highway No. 33, be tween Warren and Thief River Falls About 3% miles of this road east of Warren were left unfinished when the gravelling was done about two years ago. Mr. Nelson now has the promise of J. T. Ellison, assistant com missioner of highways, that if funds can be secured to finance the job that the commission will reshape and gra vel'the unfinished portion of said highway. This will be good news to the many users of said road, as these unfinished patches in wet weather have used up more motor energy in crossing than all the rest of the way to Thief River Falls. It is to be hoped that the commission may find a way to do this work as early as possible during the summer.

It will be con ceded at once that if the boys can live up to their name, they will be a welcome bunch all right. This splendid organization was formed for the purpose of catering to the popular taste in musical enter tainment. They are said to do it with a vengeance. They have introduced every classic of male quartet history, and a lot of things of their own in vention. Two cartoonists appear with the quartet. These dash off the pictures and all join in singing to and at them creating no end of merriment. They carry also a trick piano player who is said to be able to do all the stunts ever dreamed of on the pianoforte and then some.. He seems to play as well with his feet as some people who are pretty so so can do with their fingers. They are also advertised to do a lot of comedy stuff, by the use* of novelty musical instruments.

Women Serving as Jurors For The First Time in Marshall County The May term of district court for Marshall county convened Monday with the Honorable Judge Andrew Grindeland presiding Court was called by Hans C. Hanson, sheriff and W. O Braggans, stenographer, and Alfred Swandby, clerk of court, were on hand to attend to their respective duties J. Bordewick, J., L. Olson, Oscar E Pearson aud Miss Ebba Lundgren are serving as the sheriff's deputies at this term of court County Attor ney A N. Eckstrom was on deck to attend to his duties in connection with the sitting of the grand jury The grand jury was set to work and was in session all day, finishing their labors on Tuesday. Their report of findings has not yet been made public, but it is surmised that several indict ment were returned. Among the attorneys present at this term are: B. B. Brett and Ira H. Burhans, of Stephen E. A Brekke, of Argyh Julius J. Olson, Rasmus Hage, A. N. Eckstrom, C. Stevens and J. R, Naeseth of Warren W. E. Rowe and F. A. Grady, of Crookson Theo. Qualley and Senator O. A. Nap hn, of Thief River Falls C. M. As cham, of Bemidji Mr. Briggs, of Min neapolis, and Banks & Bobbins, of Grand Forks. For the first time in the history of the court in Marshall county ladies are serving as jurors and it is need less to sav that the impression made by their presence is very favorable. A new order of things has been created and the change we believe is in the line of human progress and for the betterment of the race By granting to woman the full right of citizenship she takes her place by the side of man in the halls of justice, where she hitherto has been almost a total stranger The presence of ladies in the jury box will have an ennobling and refining influence on the men themselves and we noticed how the men jurors ha\e already brushed" up. wear collars and neckties and look dignified when sitting bj the lady members in the jury box rAiul jus tice will not suffer by acquaintance with the woman's view point in cases that come up for adjudication Her instinct and sense of justice is often more infallible than man's cold rea son The first civil case to be tued was that of John Vallely vs J. Beardmore. O'Connor & Peterson of Grand Forks were the attorneys for the plaintiff and Julius Olson and Rasmus Hage for the defendant. Suit was the outgrowth of sale made by Mr Beardmore of a threshing ma chine to G. N. Morkassel No settle ment was made and possession never passed from Mi Beaidmoie But the tides in a chattel mortgage given by Mr Morkassel to anotheu^arty and suit foi recovery brought against Mi Beardmore. Four ladies sat ,on this juiy, namely Mrs. Spaulding." Mrs Webb Blewett, Miss Tille Olson and Mrs. P. B. Malberg. After being out ten or fifteen minutes the jury brought in a verdiot for defendant The second case was that of H. E. Wood vs. Mauley C. Whitford. Plain tiff brought suit for $708 due on farm lease. Defendant brought in counter claims and jury brought in a verdict of $96 in favor of plaintiff, really a victory for the defendant. Julius J. Olson andHftasmus Hage were the at torneys for the plaintiff and E. A. Brekke the attorney -fdr defendant. MEMORIAL DAY TO BE OBSERVED HERE Parade Will Form at High School at 9:30 A. MwJ. L.

R. Houser, County Agent There is a good group of boys and girls lined up for Boys' and Girls' Club work and their enthusiasm is contagious amongst those far-seeing farmeis of the County, who realize that live stock must enter into farm ing conditions on every farm in Mar shall County. It is gratifying to ob serve that there are boys and girls at least, who are determined that they will be better prepared to handle themselves any future crop set-back or financial distress that is being ex emplified before them by a great num ber of so-called farmers or land min ers today The sooner some of the older folks learn the lesson that the youngsters can teach them, that live stock means fertiliFy and prosperity for their farm, the better off every one in Marshall County will be. Mar shall County is most admirably suited to the growing of the kind of farm feeds which will nourish and grow out dairy stock, beef stock, hogs and sheep. The farmers of the future will find that in the long run the best way to market from crops will be in the form of some one of these animals. The sooner this is learned, the better off the farmers will be. This week, rules will be given for the Pig Club project of the Marshall County Farm Bureau association, but before these are given I would like to say something about the selection of the pig which you should make. Any of the good hog breeders in the County will be glad to furnish any boy oi girl, pigs at avreasonable cost. It is important to select a pig out of a good sow and by a good boar. If possible, get a pig from a mating that has produced good hogs in previ ous years. Blood will tell Select a pig that is laige for his age. of growthy type, upstanding, long bodied, deep, with good spring of rib e\en width, full hams, smooth outlines, and one that is especiallv stiong in feet, pasterns, and legs, with plenty of bone. If the pig is not up on his toes and strong in his back, do not select him for the contest Do not select a short bodied, squatty, chunky pig Do not select a coarse shouldered, rough pig, but a smooth, mellow pig, free from creases Get one with good length of bodv and gor length ot legs, yet at the same n#*jt V*K with a good heart-girth and enough width and depth of middle to insure good feeding qualities Select a healthy thrifty pig showing plentv of vigoi Width between the eyes, width between the ears a snout that is not too pointed, wide jaws, and an (Continued on Page 10) NEW FILINGS FOR COUNTY OFFICES A.

An receiver of farm products, other that those that are purchased at the door of the seller, or delivered in per son at the door of the~buyer, is a com mission merchant under the law. It is the act that makes him-a commis sion merchant, and not the particular business he is engaged in. The law includes as commission mer chant transactions all purchases, ex cept where the produce sold is paid for in final settlement at the time it leaves the hands of the seller. For example, a veal*shipped front Middle River, Minnesota, to St. Paul, Minne sota, without the solicitation of the dealer at the receiving end makes the latter a commission merchant if he receives the veal. Note especially that under the, law such dealings"must be settled for on the basis of the quality and amount claimed by the shipper, or else the receiver must apply to the state, department of agriculture for in spection in order to establish the con dition of the shipment at the time of O- open clear eye indicate constitution^, .Adolphus College at St Peter held and feeding qualities Short necks in dicate good feeders Rules for Pig Club Work Pig Club Work is divided into two classes.

North Star College Class Entertained A very pleasant social affair took place last Monday evening when Presi dent and Mrs. Sjostrand entertained the graduating class and 'faculty mem bers of North Star College at their home on N. Division street. The evening began with the presen tation of two sets of silver spoons as gifts to the host and hostess from the graduating class. President Sjo strand responded with fitting words to this expression of love and esteem. Acting in the capacity of toastmaster. President Sjostrand then called upon several of the guests for impromptu toasts. Miss Livia Bjorkquist was first called upon and responded with a piano solo. N. A. S. Miller was the next to be called upon and re sponded with a few brief remarks. Miss Bdythe Hendrickson was then called upon. She favored the gather ing with a vocal solo. Roy Severin, Lester Johnson, and Rev. S. W. Swen son were then called upon in turn. Each responded in a manner befitting the occasion. A dainty lunch -was then served, af ter which the remaining time until midnight was spent in the playing of games %nd in a general social way. Shortly after midnight Lester John son, the class president, called his class to order. A vote of thanks to the host and' hostess was unanimously acclaimed by the class.

Wittensten, whom he faithfully follows at all hours of the day as though he had been officially elected his honor's body guard at the March election. Although George has volun tarily chosen to serve Warren as the moyor's bodyguard there is a small matter of a license tag provided for in the city's ordinances and his earthly ex istence was threatened by the chief of police. George's numer ous friends came to the rescue, however, and a collection was taken raising the necessary sum to secure the little brass plate which entitles him to freedom from the dog catcher's clutches. -0 MARSHALL COUNTY VOLLEY BALL CHAMPIONSHIP Last Saturday afternoon the Volley Ball Team ""of the Oakdale School in the Strandquist section motored down to Viking and took an easy game from the Viking school team, the score being 27 to 51 in favor of Oakdale.
