His work thus becomes more difficult for him, with each day lost, until the final result is a dislike for school and school work. Many a boy and girl would remain in school to complete the course, were it not for their lack of punctu ality and regularity in attendance which so often results in their quitting school. In order to correct an apparent misunderstanding of the rules of the Warren school in regard to the pay tment of tuition, I wish to reiterate what has formerly been, said. The Warren school district has associat ed with it, four rural schools: Neither the pupils from these dis tricts nor the districts are required to pay tuition.

E. M. Mitchell, Warren f" The educational meeting held at Thief River Falls, Feb. 13th, 14th and loth was largely attended by teachers and educators from North western Minnesota. Marshall County was well represented and we be lieve,, outside of Thief River Falls, Warren had the largest delegation of teachers present. Entire school boards,from many country districts attended the meeting which shows the progressive attitude of the country schools. Anyone attending such a meeting should go back to the work of the school room with renewed inspira tion and a stronger determination to do more efficient work than ever before. Asystem of awards for perfect attendance and punctuality is being tried this year in the grades. The names of those who have been neither absent nor tardy for the first five months of school are in print this week.- Each of these have received a certificate of award. This has had the effect of increasing the attendance and has' largely elimi nated tardiness. In some cases the children have been so intent on avoiding tardiness, that the parents have had to sacrifice their late mor ning snooze for the good of the schools. 7 The habits of punctuality and regularity in attendance are in themselves worthy of -every effort that may be necessary to secure them and often make a successful man or woman of one who would otherwise have proved a failure. The pupil who is just a little late at school is very likely to be a little late in everything he. undertakes, to.jfiay their own tuition, or- imar paints must pay it for them.

The news of Mr. Lindberg's sud den demise came as a shock to the people of this city, many of whom did not know even that he had been sick. He was a man of unusual good health and had never been sick before in his life until stricken this time. On Monday morning, Feb. 10, he went to the mill to attend to his business aslisual, but commenc ing to feel sick, he returned to his home before the noon hour. The doctor was called and everything that possibly couldbe done for him was done, but without avail. The grim disease had him too firmly in its grip and in a few days more his active and useful earthly career was ended. ^'V^'-.r''. John Lindberg was born in Vest ergotland, Sweden, Nov. 13, 1859, and he came with his parents to America in 1872. The family lived for'a short time at Hastings, Minn., but removed that same year, in the fall, to Carver county, this state, where Mr. Lindberg grew to man hood and stayed with his parents nearly all the time, until his depar ture for the Red River Valley in 1881. His, first yoar in the valley was spent in Norman county and in the following year, 1882, he came to Warren where his home has been ever sinco. Shortly after arriving here he became associated with Aug. Lundgren as one of the pro prietors of the Warren brick yard, lumber or years Tn 1897 Mr. Lindberg started in the farm machinery business and a short time after Aug. Lundgren joined him, the firm becoming known as Lindberg & Lundgren. In 1902 he sold his interest in the ma chine business to C. Wittensten. In the year 1905 Mr. Lindberg bought Mr. J. S. Hilleboe's interest in the Warren fiouing mill which at that time was owned by Hilleboe & Johnson. The new company was incorporated under the name of Tbr Warren Milling Company and Mr. Lindberg has been its secretary and treasurer contiually since. Although the milling business has been his chief business, he has been inter ested more or less in many other enterprises and activities, which had for its object the upbuilding of our city and the country tributary thereto. Among other things he was one of the charter members of North Star College and served for a The Only Sue cessful Kero sene Burning Engine on the Market. ."V ..w: NUMBER 8 jjghe as a member of the Board of directors. He has also served as a gtember of the city council, where ge tooK an active part in securing Bany public improvements. In all pfiis acts and dealings, whether pub lic or private, he was always sin-, cere and outspoken. There was.no deception, in his nature. He will be greatly missed in the business circles of this city, which he loved so well, and which he has done so much to build up from the time that it was a struggling hamlet. But it was iii his home life that Mr. Lindberg's character shows to the bes(. advantage. As a kind and loving husband and father he will be missed most in the home now overcast with sadness, 'j v'^'^fv! John Lindberg was united in mar riage to Ida Johnson in this city on Sept. 7, 1889. To this union Ave children have been born, namely Aimer, Frances, Delia and Carrol one daughter, Minnie, died in in fancy. These, together with the mother, are now. plunged into deep est grief. Deceased leaves also one brother, Herman Lindberg, and one sister, Miss Sophy Lindberg, of this place, and one sister Mrs. Flyberg, of Norman county, to mourn his loss. A large number of relatives and a host of friends also stand sor rowing at Mr. Lindberg's grave. Mr. Lindberg's parents who moved here from Carver a number of years af ter he came here, died some years ago. During his long resideneve in Warren, Mr. Lindberg has been an active member of the Swedish Lu theran church and contributed lib erally to its support. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon this week. A short ser vice was held at the late homo, con ducted by Rev. G. Wahlund and then the remains were taken to the Swedish Lutheran church where an impressive funeral, serjnon, was preached in English by Rev. N. Anderson. Rev. G. Wahlund spoke in Swedish paying a beaiitifjii^tvii the bereaved family. Rev. L. P. Lundgren of Hallock, who had known deceased from his boyhood in Carver county, was.present at the funeral, and added his tribute and words of comfort. The choir also rendered some specially prepared hymns. The entire front of the church was beautifully decorated with flowers, and a profusion of flowers adorned the handsome cof fin, among them being a number of set pieces artistically worked out in nature's choicest flowers. One piece was in the shape of a heart inscribed "Brother", one represent ed The Gates Ajar, inscribed "Fa- ther," another was in ihe'shape of a harp, inscribed "Friend" and still another represented a lyre, and one from the Odd Fellow lodge had the emblem of the three links in colors harmoniously blended. These beau tiful floral tributes attested the love and esteem in which deceased was held. The church also was filled to overflowing by relatives, friends and old settlers who had come to pay their last respect to his mem ory. All the banks, stores and oth er piaces of business were closed out of respect, to his memory dur ing the hour set for the funeral. Among the relatives from out were: John E. -Ostrom, of- Seattle, Wash., brother of Mrs. Lindberg, Mrs. Flyberg and Miss Ella Flyberg, of Norman county. Miss Esther Fly herg, of Baudette, Miss Elida Fly berg, of Hibbing, Minn., Herman Al len, of ^Alvarado, Mrs. OUo Allen, Miss Emma Allen, Mr. and Mrs. John Allen and Willham Allen, of Radium, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard l'eUM-^on, of Thief Ri\er Falls. The pall bearers weiv: L. M. Ol son, C. A. Johnson, John Wcstman, F.d Roscndahi. C. E. Sjostrand and Ciu?t EKblad: and the honorary pall hearers: J. U. Anderson, Gottl'red Erickson, J. P. Mdltson. J. A. Blooin quist, Fred Johnson and P. A. Lund berg. A large funeral procession cs-^ corted the remains to Greenwood Cemetery, where thoy were con signed to Mother Earth to await the morn of the Resurerction. But the memory of the good Husband, fath er, friend and pioneer will always be green in the hearts of those who learned to know and love him. To the bereaved in their hour of sorrow, this community extends its heartfelt sympathy. ti.p 41 i & V Si JS :J% 4 Sheaf Want Ads. do the Business. *t JJ
