"2- *& 1 fr DIKING VOTES FOR i \t j**" INCORPORATION AS VILLAGE. The election in Viking, whether to incorporate or not, is now a thing of .the past. This matter was decided jTriday, April 8th. and it was a hard ifought battle, considerable.strength be ing shown on both'sides. Considerable opposition to incorporation was dis played, but when the smoke of the i battle had cleared away, it was found [that incorporation had carried by seven votes44 against and ol for. The judges of election carried out their duties with dignity, everything was conducted in the most honest and .v: lawful way. In the opinion of your correspondent this is a step in the right direction. Now that the step is taken. I would suggest this: lay aside your grudge. take your defeat with good resignation. 3et us grasp each others hand and say, '"here we go for a bigger and better Village of Viking." We have all the possibilities for this a nd we can-surely accomplish it. pro vided we make a united effort, and as g,.-jod-loyal citizens we ought to do so. The opponents of incorporation unde their opposition on an increase in' taxes. No one need fear ..this. We ave here a set of very careful and a^oderate people and no extravagance Will very likely be allowed, or ..even tolerated. In fact, we are now. as a vil dage, in a better position to use our in- oney to much better advantage than ui ider our former regime. Again appealing to one and, all. not to harbor any ill feeling, but to join thands and work in harmony for better results. I am yours for a progressive Village of Viking. Alfred Forslund.

A good breakfast to start them ofiV uiilk, corn-meal mush, apple sauce. It makes them fit for school and" fit for play, say home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agri culture. Milk, and plenty of it. makes them growa quart each day. if possible. Put it on their cereal and in their cups. Make it into soups, puddings, or eus tards for them. Whole milk is best of course, but skim milk is good if there is a'littte' butter in their meals. Cottage cheese is good, too. No coffee or teanot even a taste. Leave them for the grownups. Milk, cocoa, not too strong, and fruit, juices are the drinks for children, and plentv of water always. Fruit they enjoy, and they need it. toobaked apples, apple sauce, thor oughly ripe bananas, prunes. Oranges, etc. Give^-theni vegetables, fresh or canned. Plenty of fruits and vege tables tend to prevent constipation. Use proper food and do not depend up on laxatives.' The youngsters can't be well unless the bowels move regularly. Don't let them hurry off in the morn ing without attending to this dutv. Other foods children need: 'Good bread, whole-wheat bread, corn bread, well-cooked oatmeal, corn meal, and rice are all excellent for children. They help make strong boys and girls. Fats thev must have, too. None is better than butter. Besides the butter on their bread, do not overlook the fat on meats, or in gravies and other food. An egg is good, too, or they may have a little meat or fish, but they do not need much. Sweets are good for themthe right ones at the right time. Dates, stewed fruits, simple puddings, and sugar cookies are especially good. Give sweets at meal times. Between meals let them have bread and butter, a cracker, or fruit. They won't spoil the appetite, and sweet.s will. THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. An imaginary line will not keep cat tle out of corn nor whiskey runners from a brisk business, yet one does not have to spend a great amount of time in Winnipeg to realize that things are different. One of the most "impressive indications that one is not in the United States is the array of signs which con fronts him in that town. They speak a foreign tongue such as. "Tea Room". "Bar", "Hall For Rent". "Suits Press ed O cents", "British Mail". "The Pro hibition Shoe-Notice Their Tongues Hanging Out", and "Touch Buttons Limited". i i er I I if~ 1. DEFECTIVE- PAGF Fordso TRADE MARK A Forclson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the farm- It doesn't make any difference how you spell that prosperitywhether it is in increased production whether it is in the saving that comes from a machine over a horse or a mule whether it comes in a release from the drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for both man and wife because the Fordson answers all those problems to the satisfaction of the farmer. It can't be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power oh the farm is the necessity. It is only a question of what kind of power the farmer is going to have, but no'farmer with the facts now before him can question the monetary advantage of machine power over horse and mule- power. The Tractor is the farmer's necessity just as much as the sun is the necessity for growing crops. An Electric Washing Ma chine knows no blue Mon days. It labors without a vacation it needs no rest it always is willing, ready when needed, and does its duty well. All that is necessary for a farmer is to know his Fordson Tractor as familiarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He wants to use the same amount of reason and common sense. In the Fordson Tractor is the concentrated power of eighteen horses, and as flexible as the movement' of your armmuch more flexible than ho?se controland beyond all com^ parison much more economical both in service and in keep. Then it will do so many things that horses and mules cannot do, and it doesn't eat when idle. We don't believe there is any question in the mind of any aimer as to the necessity foi a Tractor, but he may have some doubts as to what make of Tractor, so that is the reason we are putting this advertisement in 'this-paper to draw his attention to the Fordson Tractor. This is why we put the"above arguments before him, and why we now invite him to come in to our place of business and view the Fordson Tractor. Let us show him what it has done. Let us prove to him its superiority over any qther Trac- tor. It means more to him than it does to us. Let us Demonstrate the Thor. Water, Light & Power Dept Warren, Minn.
