Many people, when q little con-
stipated, make the mistake of using
saline or other drastic purgatives.
All that is needed is mild dose of
Ayers Pills to restore the regular
movement of the bowels, and nature
will do the rest. They keep the sys-
tenn in perfect order.
The jewell Nursery Co., of Lake
City, Minnesota, write us that they
want agents to sell their hardy Mimi
esota grown nursery stock in this vi
cinity. If any of our readers desire
to secure pleasant employment at
good wages, they should write the
company for terms at once. 1l-2

Quoted lesson in music; Mr.. Race a
lesson in literature; Rev. John Sinclair
lectured on Intellectual Conversion;
Prof. Torrens on School Management;
Miss Chapman led in Geography, fol-
lowed with discussion by the teach
ers. The following programme was
made out for Dec. LIST: Music, by the
ssociation; School management, j.
L. Torrens; Recitation, Dagmar Jor-
genson; American Literature, S. j.
Race; Geography, Miss Linwell; Dis
cussion, by Misses Lee and Dineen;
Question Box. The meeting then adj
journed. There were thirty-nine
teachers present and three visitors.
!, A mistake, which should be correct
ed, is that 40 degrees below zero is
frequent. A careful study of the Min
nesota Weather Record will show that
while the temperature has wide
range, extremes are exceptional. In
the vicinity of St. Paul and Minneap-
oils, 100 degrees above zero has been
reached but twice and Al degrees be-
low zero but once. T he general sup
, position that the farther north one
goes the colder the climate, is not
, justified by facts. It appears that
the temperature is scarcely as cold
, farther north and west, as near the
boundary line between North Dakota,
, Minnesota and Manitoba, in the vi
cinity of st. Vincent; territory which
: produces a regular and magnificent
t yield of an unsurpassed duality Of
. wheat. Other conditions than latitude
, must therefore be considered Snow

: The Great Central Plain of North
America in the southwest, is more
4 than 10000 feet above sea level. The
: Union Pacific crosses the mountains
l at an elevation of 5000 feet, the Great
}. Northern at a much lower elevation,
: the Canadian Pacific, farther north, at
about 1000 feet; the elevation of which
passes still farther north, is only about
: $500 feet. The ocean currents are al
. so supposed to affect the climate; and
3 it is claimed that Pacific winds, whose
S ingress is facilitated by the valleys of
the Columbia and Missouri, reach as
far east as the James RIVER Valley in
North Dakota. This seems to be con-
f firmed by the fact that frosts as shown
: by the Pioneer Fuel Company's Frost
! Chart, do not occur as early in the
: fall or as late in the spring at Fort
5 Buford, in the northwesterly part of
8 North Dakota, as farther east. The
theory is also advanced by reliable
!, authorities that the great length of
, the days in the far north also affects
the climate. While there may be diff
, ferent theories as to the causes, they
are of much less importance than the
f established facts. Wheat can be cul-
tivated more than 900 miles north
! west of the northern boundary of Min
nesota, and it is hardly possible to
contemplate the possibilities of the
f northern country when these facts be-
| come more generally known. No one
interested in the Northwest should
miss an opportunity to correct erron-
, eous impressions as to the climate.
