HALL COUNTY
WILL NAME TANK
Marshall county did not win the
honor of naming a battle ship as a re
sult of the Fourth Liberty Loan Cam
paign, but it succeeded in getting the
privilege to name a tank. Pipestone
county won the distinction of naming a
battleship, 69 9-10 per cent of its popu
lation having subscribed for bonds.
Marshall, Nobles and Cook are
theness
three counties in Minnesota which will
name tanks. Marshall county has 7,681
subscribers to the loan, said number be
ing 43 3-5 per cent of the county's "pop
ulation. Although Marshall county did
not win the highest honor, it has never
theless done well, and, is found among
the topnotchers. We are glad that the
.high honor comes to Minnesota and
^Pipestone county is to be congratulated
T^jipon its success. Pipestone is a good
'.ame for a ship.

Results of Barberry Campaign.
The campaign for the control of stem
rust of wheat through the eradication
of the common barbeny has aroused a
widespread and effective sentiment
against the shrub. This has resulted in
t*c ^t. vrnj tt^jSolIowinfe e1-
timated percentages of the plants lo
cated by a survey conducted by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Northern Illinois, 60 per cent
Wisconsin, 90 per cent Minnesota, 80

South Dakota, 80 per cent Nebraska,
75 per cent and Iowa, 75 per cent.
The work has been well begun in theto
states adjoining those named. Safety
from stem-rust of wheat lies only
i the complete eradication of the com

Death Calls a Little Boy.
The erstwhile happy home of Mr. and
Mrs. Wadsworth was invaded by thething
Angel of Death on Wednesday, Dec. 18,
1918, removing therefrom their darling
baby boy Russell, after an illnessjftf
seven weeks. Russell was bom Sent*?
29, 1917. In the short space of times
that he had lived he had so twined liim -1
self about the hearts of the fond^j^r-
ents, that his taking away leaves them
sorely heart-broken and forlorn. May
their consolation be that their little boy
is safe and secure in the arms of the
Savior, who loves little children and
calls so many of them away to the
better land where sorrow and suffering
no more.
The funeral was held on Friday
afternoon conducted by Rev. L. W.
Bartholow.
This lovely bud, so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
E're sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care
a The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
An
bad
hiosaom there.
HEALTH CONDITIONS GOOD
tyj IN WARREN SCHOOLS
Miss Imsdahl, the school nurse, re
ports that the health conditions in the
Warren schools are very good. Of over
400 pupils, only 22 have been absent on
account of the Flu, while 51 have been
absent from other causes, one of said
causes being fear of getting the disease.
Many of those who have been ill, are
already back in school. Last week not
a single new case developed among the
pupils. Miss Imsdahl says there is no
reason why parents should be afraid to
send their children to school after the
holidays, unless the epidemic should
make afresh outbreak during the vaca
tion.

Have Supply of Hogs.
The agricultural extension division
of the University of Minnesota has re
ceived word from the co-operative ex
tension office at Little Rock, Arkansas,
to the effect that farmers of Arkansas
have an over-supply of good, medium
sized feeder hogs for which there is a
shortage of feed. As a consequence,
many hog raisers in Arkansas are
anxious to ship their hogs northward
where farmers well supplied with feed
may prepare them for the market. The
extension division at University Farm,
St. Paul, is passing the word on to the
farmers of Minnesota through county
agents and other agencies.
WHAT DO THE CLASSIFIED ADS
MEAN TO YOU?
Do the classified calumns mean to you
merely a whole lot of small type set
pretty compactly, and sub-divided by
various headings?
If they do, you are having a pretty
sound sleep, right in the midst of the
clamor of a busy world.
For, to people who are wide awake to
the things that are happening about
them, the classified ad3 represent some
of much more moment than the
style of type in which they are print
ed. These little ads pulse with life,
with messages of intimate import and
moment to live people.
They afford contact with opportuni
ties for those who are climbing up the
ladder of success. They serve the bu
siness man who needs help, the pro
perty owner who wants to sell, the land
lord who has something to rent, the
man or woman who has something to
sell.
They may mean to you just as much
as they mean to anybody else. It is a
mere matter of realizing their signifi
cance, of utilizing the service they ren
der, of getting in touch with the cur
rents of life in this city.
Read themfor facts about things that
should interest you. Use themfor
tasks which you cannot Accomplish
without their aid. Then they will mean
to you utility and servljee-rsuch as you
will find nowhere else.

Letter From Canada
Mrs. Oscar Johnson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Fred Johnson, of this city
writes an interesting letter from Can
ada to the editor of this paper and
from which we publish the following:
Moose Jaw, Sask. Deo. '18.
I am enclosing an order for $2.00"to
renew our subscription for the Sheaf.
hope that you and all the mje'mbers
of your family are in good health.
There is a War Trophies Exhibit in
Jaw this weekfive carloads.
The weather has been lovely until
just lately. Had my first sleigh ride
yesterday.
I have only praise for the way they
handled the "flu" epidemic here. Every
house in town was canvassed and aid
sent out wherever needed. All the
churches had soup kitchens and sent
out meals to homes where there was
no one able to cook This work was all
done free. Also free inoculation. We
fortunately escaped any severe attack.
I think the people in the country suff
more as there were no organized
releif committees.
Altho we have all respect and rever
ence for Canada and sing "God Save
the King" as heartily as any Canadian,
we can't help but feel a thrill when
reading of what the TJ. S. has be^en do
ing in this bringing about of peace.
On Nov. 11, we put the Stars and
Stripes in the window and would cer
tainly have put Canada's flag there too,
we had one.
I think my letter is quite long enough
so will close with sincere, good wishes
to you all, from my husband and my
self. Mrs. Oscar Johnson.
Oscar H. Olson, one of the prominent
settlers of eastern Marshall county,
'north of Goodridge, was in the city on
Monday attending to business in the
probate court. Mr. Olson's' father,
Nils O. Juul, who made his home with
him, died on Nov. 12, 1918, at the ripe
old age of 97 years, after only two or
three days sickness from influenza. De
ceased wa3 born in Juulin, Solor, Nor

never been sick until his last illness.,
