Peterson of the Spauld ing Farm, adjoining the city, brought in four mangels last Thursday morn ing, the largest bf which weighed 16 pounds, they were considered to be "some mangels" until P. E. Anderson, of Vega, sent in two real mangels Tues day afternoon, the largest of which weighed 23 pounds. Mangels make ex cellent feed for live stock and there should be a small patch on every farm. G. F. Peterson also brought iu a head of cabbage,* raised on the Spaulding Farm, which tipped the scales at 18 pounds. That our soil is capable of producing the best quality potatoes is shown by four Irish Cobblers raised by Frank Truhn on his farm in McCrea which weigh five pounds. Mr. Truhn plans to put in twenty acres in potatoes next year, as he claims that he made more money on the few acres of tubers rais ed this year than on the rest of the farm. An ear of Yellow Giant Fodder corn, measuring 11 inches in length and con taining IS rows of kernels, is also on exhibition. This ears was raised by Arthur Brewster, in Brisiet township. ADA AND WARREN PLAY TIE GAME Local High School to Meet Stephen High School Here On Friday Last Satuiday afternoon the football season was opened Warien. Ada and Warren endeavored to outdo each other on the gridiron but at the end of the contest the score stood .six and six The game was interesting consuleimg the fact that it was the lirst game plajed by each eleven. In the first quarter the Warren ele\ en showed more pep and from the time the ball went into play until the first and only touchdown made by the locals, the Ada eleven did not get a chance to show what they could do with the ball. The locals iu this' quarter plunged thru the line at will and made their downs every time. After getting the ball on the Ada thirty yard line a fake play was runit thru with perfection and Quistgard. the Warren quarterback, made a nice run and crossed the goal line. The work of Liudstrand. the local fullback, was ef fective, he going thru the Ada line for big gains whenever he was called on. Lindstarnd was taken out mt the end of the first half on account of severly bruising his arm. ilie A&i*^e-F&i**%*ade tlieie^ Mich down in the third period. Because of some question as to the number of downs the Ada eleven had, the head linesman came onto the field and tried to stop the play. The referee had blown his whistle but the umpiie had not. so the play went through. Some of the Warren boys on hearing the whistle pay ed no attention to the play. The Adation eleven very nicely performed a forward pass and crossed the line, thus tieing the score. Coach Johnson's men were given some hard rubs which will keep several of the hoys oft the field for the rest of the season. Among the boys that will be out of the game for the rest of the 'season are Quistgard and Campion. Tlie last game scheduled for the home grounds will be played next Friday af ternoon at 3:30. Stephen will be down here to russel with the local high school eleven. Everybody is urged to come out and help the boys as the financial end of last Saturday'sv game was not very successful. A. M. Foker, of the Crookston School of Agriculture, refereed the game and B. R. Houser was the umpire. M. F. Plhlstrom was head linesman.

GOOD ATTENDANCE AT i NUTRITIONAL CLINICS One Hundred and Two Persons Exam ined at Health Clinics Held at Srrandquist and Grygla Two very successful nutritional clin ics were held last week, one in Strand quist and one in Grygla, under the aus pices of the Marshall County Public Health Association. The sale of Red Cross Christmas seals makes clinics such as these possible. Dr. A. Stewart, a specialist of the pediatric department of the University of Minnesota Was the clinician. The county nurse had charge of the clinic. One hundred and two persons were examined, of whom nearly all were children, 40 in Strandquist and 62 in Grygla. The clinic in Grygla was held on the same day as the local fair, and over one hundred people attended the clinic. Of the children examined 50 were seriously underweight, 36 needed dental care, 58 had abnormal adenoids and ton sils, 61 had enlarged glands, 6 had eye defects other than vision defect, 6 had abnormal chest conditions envolving heart and lungs, 12 had spinal curva ture, 17 had skin diseases, 14 had acute pharyngitis, and 15 were suffering from a miscellaneous list of defects. Personal instruction regarding hy giene was- given, and stress was laid upon the correction of physical defects after which parents should give partic ular attention to more rest and'an im- Hilaire. proved dietary, for the children. Par ents of children needing such attention were adv'sed to go to their family physician for treatment, and mucji good will be the result provided parents do their part. Not a few reported that their children had refused coffee and asked for cereals after the nurse's visit to their Schools last year. The children are as a rule good little sportsnten and can be depended upon to do their part. It is to be hoped that more clinics can be had next year, for the need is of course evident.

COMMHTEE ON HIGHWAYS ASSIGNED MUCH WORK "-&' NlroMfflHis Problems Discussed at Com-' fan-rial Club Meeting Held Tuesday Evening The committee on highways of the Warren Commercial club will be an ex tremely active one if it takes np and completes all the tasks suggested in a discussion at the meeting of the club at the club rooms last evening. A good attendance was present at the meeting and a very interesting session was had, numerous matters of interest to the city and community being taken up and dis cussed. The bad condition of the road leading southwest of Warren was called to the attention of the highway committee and the suggestion offered that efforts should be made to have the road su pervisors of the townships of Farley and Boxville give this road their atten tion required to keep it in good shape, The committee's attention was also called to the matter of making efforts to have the road leading Iroin Warren west to Oslo, piaced under the Babcock Trunk highway system and the sugge* tion* made that a petition to this eftect be presented to the state highway com missioner. The suggestion was also offered that efforts should be made to have the gra velling completed on the state road east ot Warren, there being only three or four miles lett to form the connecting link of some sixty or eighty miles of gravelled roadwaj. The gravelling ot Great Eastern is another project that should be taken up ae soon d& pos sible as it would furnish employment for a large number ot men and if un dertaken during late fall and eaily win ter would give farmers along the road an opportunity to haul the gravel and thereby convert idle time into cash. Attention was called to the importance of cutting the weeds along the roads during the next few eeks so as to pre vent blockading of the loads by drift ing snow. A suggestion was made that a snow fence erected near the city lim its north of towTn /and on Second street would prevent the formation of snow at that point, which makes that street impassable every spring. The agricultural committee reported pledges had been received for the plant ing of over 700 acres of potatoes next year. The storing of seed for next year is a problem that is recening attention and basements in business places in the city are being utilized for storage pur poses.. P3am%tt- thtr^nnuaLfaOl^axketJay, sales combination sale were dis cussed. Preparations are being made for holding the largest sales ever held here. It wras suggested that an effort be made to haAe several carloads of good dairy eattle imported for the auction sale. This would not only help make the bale this fall a success, but would insure greater prosperity in the tributary country for the future and insure suc cess to all future sales. The president was authorized to ap point a committee of tw$to attend the Great Lakes-St. Lawrtnce waterway conference at Minneapolis on Friday, Oct. 7, as representatives of the War ren Commercial club C. L. Spaulding was appointed a committee of one to arrange for and head a delegation of local farmers and stockmen to the Na tional Dairy Show at St. Paul, Oct. 8th to 15th.

Mr. Amundson's death came as a shock, not only to the community but also to his family. He arose on Monday morning as usual and helped to do the chores. Upon entering the house for breakfast he expressed himself as not feeling well and did not want anything to eat. but instead went to his bedroom. A few minutes later his wife-followed him to find him seated on the bed and inside of ten minutes he had breathed his last As before stated, he died from heart failure.

The implements consist of an old rustedJ member and leaves a host of friends to steel axe with a wooden handle said to be recognized as of Norwegian origin, and a piece of steel chisel of peculiar shape, also said to be common in Nor way years ago. The two tools were found in the river bed of the Sandhill river on Mr. Steenerson's farm. Mr.j Steenerson's theory is that the axe and chisel were dropped by the old vikings who established the rune stones near Kensington, Minn. He has forwarded a picture of them to H.-R. Holand of Ephiram, Wis., the discoverer of the rune stones, asking him his opinion. The Kensington rune stone states that 21 Norwegians and eight Goths had ar rived there on an expedition from Vine land in 1362. Q. About a year- ago Mr.^ /Steenerson found an old ornamented brass battle axe that was in the shape of ,the Nor wegian|coat of arms and a 14th cen tury a^e was found earlier by Christ Samuejson, another prominent potato grower, while digghnjpotatoes near St. About ,100 years ago the Chippewa and Sioux Indians met in battle near the place "where the axe was found by Mr. Steenersoh. The Chippewas dug in at night fall in the basin of the Sandhill river and it is the belief of Mr. Steen erson that they carried the axe there after having secured it f*om the same expedition that erected the rune stones at~ Kensington. meeting of the Girls' Communi ty club held at the courrhouse last eve ning some twenty new members^ were initiated.
