SWINE BREEDERS OF STATE
IN ANNUAL CONVENTION
The Minnesota Swine Breeders' As
sociation held its annual meeting at
Willmar Thursday and Friday of last
week. In point of attendance of its
members thruout the state it was
not as large as usual and it was to
be regretted that so few of our local
farmers could not find it convenient
to spend the time to be present, for
the program was replete with useful
and practical information for the
or-white
dinary hog raiser as well as for the
breeders.
The rpogram was carried thru as
originally published, all the speakers
and demonstrators being present.
Thursday afternoon's session open

Minnesota" was discussed by Dr. S.
H. Ward, Secretary of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board. H. O. Tellier
of Farmington told of the practical
results he had with the serum treat
ment and Dr. G. S. Weaver, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Washing
ton, D. C, spoke on the preparation
of Hog Cholera Serum. At 6:30 the
Association was tendered a banquet
at the Odd Fellow's Hall by the Will
mar Commercial Club. Covers were
laid for about 70, a large number of
the places being occupied by local
business men.
After the guests had partaken plen
tifully of boiled ham and other things
on the menu, Judge Gilbert, as toast
master, called on several of those
present for after-dinner speeches.
After the banquet, at the invitation
of the Dreamland management, the
party adjourned to the Willmar
Opera House where they took in the
new talking pictures exhibited for the
first time in our city.
Friday morning's session was held
at the Assembly Park where the
breeders got pointers on hog judg
ing from O. S. West, of Paullina, la.,
and H. R. Smith of the University
farm. Dr. G. S. Weaver gave a dem
onstration on hog vaccinating. R. C.
Ashby spoke briefly on "Practical
Hog Houses."
In the afternoon at the courthouse
Mr. West spoke on "Management of
the Breeding Herd", and Mr. Smith

ket."

VOLUME 20. 8 PAGES WILLMAR, MINNESOTA, PRICE 5 CENTS
Rines appears to be nominated for
State Auditor over Preus by a small
lead. Jacobson will be nominated to
succeed himself as Railroad Commis
sioner.
The following are the early bulle
tins issued at the Willmar Tribune
office last night in order received:
Great interest was taken in the
primary election in Kandiyohi county
and the vote exceeds that given in
the last general election in many pre
cincts. Kandiyohi county voters have
shown that they are interested in
public affairs and will come out and
do their duty at the polls.
For Senator it appears that Sen
ator Froshaug has been eliminated.
Kandiyohi county has given Gandrud
a handsome vote and McDermott is
high man in Swift connty. Froshaug
appears to be third in Kandiyohi
county.
For County Treasurer N. O. Nelson
has the lead over Martin Olson, who
received a good vote. Lundquist is
eliminated for the fall election.
Samuel Nelson received an over
whelming endorsement for promotion
to the county auditor's office.

Scattering returns from today's
primary election received up to 11 p.
m., indicate that Gov. Eberhart has
carried Ramsey county over W. E.
Lee at least two to one, but that the
total vote for the two candidates will
be less than anticipated so that
Eberhart's majority in this county
may not be more than 3,000 or 4,000.
The returns also indicate that Dan
Lawler has carried Ramsey county
by a wide margin over W. S. Ham
mond, probably better than two to
one. Reports that the Democrats
were voting Republican ballots are
not borne out by the early returns.
Reports for the country indicate a
light vote generally throughout the
state, but the returns are too meager
to make any basis for a forecast.

CELEBRATE GOOD ROADS
DAY NEXT WEEK
To Township Road Overseers—
(Directly).
To Town Boards—(In particular).
To Public-Spirited Men in Kandi
yohi County—(In General).
You are urged to use your best ef
forts to rouse the interest of the peo
ple in your vicinity to a proper ob
servance of "Good Roads Day" June
23rd. (Sec. 23, Ch. 354, Gen. Laws
1911).
Endeavor to make up several "Good
Road Day" gatherings, picnics, or
"Bees," at suitable locations in your
township, with due regard to adapta
bility for road improvement demon
stration, as well as for picnicing.
Urge the farmers, the business men,
thftrmotoristsi and" the ladies to come,
bringing their wagons and teams,
their spades and scrapers, their auto
mobiles, their lunches, and their
purses.
Then let everyone enter into the
spirit of the "Good Roads. Day"'law.
Let some use team and scraper to
fill and raise the center of roadway
where it is flat. Let others use team
and wagon to haul in gravel where
possible.
Then, before the work of the day
begins to wear, and grow irksome,
turn the whole meeting into a picnic,
and let the ladies spread their lunch
es under the* trees.
Then on with the program, and the
amusements. Try and get up a little
of each.
If you want a "Good Roads" speak
er for the occasion, write the Dis
trict Engineer of the State Highway
Commission, Willmar, Minn.,- and he
will try to send some one out, or if
that is not possible, will try and come
himself.
Catch the spirit and the Idea of
this.
The aim is not so much to get some
work done on any certain portion of
our public roads on that day, as it
is to rouse in the people an intelli
gent interest in the great work of
and to make them feel
—what they truly are—partners in the
work, burden-bearers in the work,—
profit-sharers in the work.
If it is for the public welfare—and
—for the common good—that we have
begun working on this vast and end
less enterprise of building roads, to
travel and transportation cheap,
easy, convenient and secure, for one
and all,—then it is' right that public
spirited men in all this count should
give their^band—and. their_Jie»j&-
and their mind, to help it forward,
to boost and encourage,—the show
that they understand the ful import
ance of it,—to prove that they are
able to see far enough ahead to that
day when the big results will show
up on a large scale.
It is a hard and toilsome task,—
that of road-building. And we want
to feel and know, while we are work
ing, that the people are with us, live
and understanding^, truly realizing
that from the results of this great
public enterprise they will be gain
ers, profit-sharers,—the happier and
richer,—in so far as travel and traffic
over light, sure and easy roads can
contribute to comfort, happiness, and
convenience,—by bringing the town
and country closer together—schools,
churches, and markets easy, and near
at hand.
Therefore, we want the people with
us in this enterprise—that they may
fully feel that it is their enterprise,
their struggle, and their result to be
38,obtained.
