PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA,  NOVEMBER 7,     1912.
NO. 121.
ELECTION RETURNS
Wilson is electee! President of
the United States; Eberhart
is elected Governor of Minnesota; ('. A. Lindbergh is elected,
Congressman from the sixth
district.

NO DISGRACEFUL DEFEAT
Election is over and the returns indicate that our man was
defeated; but his defeat is one
of which he need not feel'a-
shamed. If Pierz and surrounding* tow-ns had given "Capt." as
much support at the polls as
was given the other candidates
by their neigiibors, he would have
been elected by a handsome majority. Without wishing* to speak
disparagingly about Pierz' place
upon the map, we do not hesitate to say that "Capt," located
as he is in a somewhat remote
corner of the district, ran surprisingly well. There is this
consolation for him: He can,
without deviating* an iota from
the gospel truth, tell his detractors, that they could not
have done half so well.

/   MRS. HENRY DENGEL DIES.
The Prank Grittner family received a telegram la.st week
;'from Portland, Oreg*on, that
their daughter, Mrs. Henry Den-
USh^ had died. Mrs. Deng*el
leaves three children, the youngest is five years old. Her hus
band was killed two years ago
by falling down an elevator
shaft.
RETURNS AFTER 41 YEARS
W. S. Whitman of the Travelers Insurance Co., of Hartford,
Conn., stayed in Pierz last
night. Mr. Whitman's visit to
Pierz was more to note the
changes wrought by the disa-
pearance of the pine and the
advent of the plow, than of a
business nature.
Porty-one years ago today,
when deer and bear roamed unmolested through the groves,
where St. Joseph's church now
rears its towering* spire, and
when only half a dozen families
lived in this end of the county,
Mr Whitman passed through
here on his way from Rice to
Barrows Bros.' camp, south of
the "Big Dam", on Hillman
creek.
This morning, after making a
careful survey of the earth's
contour about the village, Mr.
Whitman pointed to Christ Vir-
nig"s, then owned and occupied
by Christ's father, as the place
where he had supper and lodging in a log-house, on his way
home. The next day he continued his journey on foot to Sauk
Rapids, which was then the
end of the road.
He paid Mrs. Virnig i visit
last evening. Mr. Whitman has
traveled very extensively thru
the United States, and now.
retrospective and reminiscent,
recalls the scenes of his early
struggles and revisits them in
response to the irresistibly impelling sentiment expressed in
these    lines:
"And as a hare whom hounds
and horns pursue,
Pants to the place from
whence at first he flew".
A. DISTANT RELATIVE
Frank Koering of St. Mathias
is responsible For this.
One of his brothers who is very small of stature and very
light in weight conducts a bakery in Brainerd.
One day Prank was asked if
he were related to Koering, the
baker.
"Yes" said Prank, »'but only
distantly [Weitlaeufig]. I was
the first and the baker was the
thirteenth."

A Marvelous Kscape.
"My little boy had a marvelous es
jape," writes P. F. Bfistiauis of Prince
Albert, Gape of Good Hope. "It occurred
iu the middle of the night. He got a very
severe attack of croup. As luck would
have it, I had a large bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house. After
fallowing the directions for an hour and
twenty minutes Le was through all danger.''   Sold by all dealers.—Adv.
citizens, a prominent busi
man and a member of the city
■touncil, died Sunday afternoon
from a ruptured appendix. His
death came almost without
warning, a great shock to his
family and almost unbelieveable
to his many friends and acquaintances in the city and vicinity.
Mr. Lane was down town Saturday afternoon apparently enjoying his usual health During
the evening he was taken sick
and passed away shortly before
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Lane was born in Goodhue county June 29, 1874. He
was married Jan. 29, 1890, to
?vliss Odila Burkard and the
following year moved to this
city where he bought a bottling
works. His factory was moved
from one location to another until 1903 when it was moved into
its present location on Fifth
avenue northeast.
Mr. Lane served the Second
ward a.s an alderman for 11
years. He refused to accept
the office again in 1908 but the
following year when the Fourth
ward was formed, accepted the
election as an alderman from
that ward and has since held
the position.
He was a member of Chemical
Company No. 2 and a member of
the Eagles, Elks, A. O. U. W.
and Red Men lodges.
He leaves to mourn his death
a wife and two children, Edna
and Ruth, both of whom are
high school students. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Harry Ishwood of Morris and
Mrs. P. Berg of Canon City,
Col , and a brother, Sherman
Lane, also of Canon City. Another brother, Herbert Lane,
died last May at Canon   City.

Judging Dairy Cows. Council Proceedings
When one who  is  thoroughly      A special meeting of  the villained, looks  up  a   full-blood Page council Wais called   October
dairy animal, he can see  thirty
two points the animal may have
that Indicate either the presence
or  absence  of  what   is  called
quality. When we are looking at
thegrade animal, we can depend,
by a careful   observation,   upon
but five points and from a good
idea as to what   their   capacity
for milk-making is. We will give
these five  points as   briefly as
we can  and   then suggest   that
for   further details   one obtain
annual number Four. Now when
our readers get .Annual   Number
Four, not onpy read the  article,
but go to some  good cow,  that
they  know   is good,   that   is a
quality animal because she does
produce  a good   abundance  of
milk, and then read  the article,
look at the cow and compare her
form with the description in tlie
book. Here are  the   five  points
briefly   stated'    A   large    and
capacious body. We like  to see
the body  deep,   sometimes   its
capacity is obtained from length
as well as measure of depth. Let
the withers  [ that   part  of  the
body which   ia   just  behind   the
shoulders | be as deep or  scant
as    possible.    Let    the    udder
capacity be ample. The looseness
of the skin of the udder is a far
better indication of a   good  udder than mere size.  Be   sure to
observe the size of the  holes   in
the body where the   veins le.ul-
ing from the udder pass through
these openings into the  interior
of the body. Theyarecalledmilk
wells. The name   is misleading,
but we will h ive to use it for it
is a common term. Let the  eye
be large and full for it indicates
a strong nerve system-The nerve
system is that part of the animal
economy that serves  as  power
to promote digestion  and   milk
secretion.
