EDITORIAL NOTES.
And Other Matters of Interest
to the Readers of: the
Courier.

We are told by farmers who know
what they are talking about that
last year considerable Russian thistle
grew in the southwestern part OF
this county last year. If this is a
fact we would urge that every farmer
make special effcrt at the proper
time this year to see that Russian
thistle is destroyed on the farm.
Only those farmers who have the
dreaded pest to contend with, know
what it is to have their farm overrun
with this pest. Hundreds of acres
of fine farming land in South Dakota
and in the southern part of North
Dakota are practically worthless for
farming on account of the encroach-
ment of the Russian thistle. The
pest should be stamped out at all
costs, and our farmers want to com
mence a vigorous warfare upon it at
the first opportunity. Under the
provisions of the law enacted by the
late legislature, it is the duty of the
county commissioner in each dis
trict to see that the Russian thistle is
destroyed, and the law provides
heavy penalties for failure to comply
with the provisions of the law.

When we get our new fire engine,
hose carts ETC., the volunteer fire
department., and other improvements,
Cooperstown will soon be regarded
as one of the most progressive little
cities in our state. She already
has reputation as rustling village,
but with these other improvements
we shall have to assume the more
digniied title of city. Cooperstown
can boast of as live a class of citizens
as can be found in the west who are
ever ready to boost along a needed
enterprise. Cooperstown is all right.

FIRE..

For some time past our town board
has been talking over the feasibility of
putting in some kind of fire appara-
tus to protect the citizens against the
ravages of fire. Last Monday evening
the town board invited everybody in
terested in protection from fire, to meet
with them to discuss and take action in
regard to purchasing some kind of a
fire fighter. Every business house in
the city almost was represented and
much interest was manifested, showing
that our people were ready to do any.
thing in reason to protect themselves
against fire. Mr.. Gibson, representing
the Waterous Fire Supply Co., of St.
Paul, appeared before the meeting and
threw out some practical suggestions
in regards to the workings and value
of differeut fire engines, both steam
and otherwise. and the whole matter
was thoroughly discussed pro- and con.
After the subject had been thoroughly
aired it was moved and carried unani-
mously that it he the sense of the meet
ing that the town board purchase a
steam fire engine with capacity of
325 gallons per minute, together with
two hose carts and 1000 feet of hose,
and that they provide the necessary
engine house and storage cisterns for
water. The whole outfit complete will
cost the town about $1,000 payable in
five years by town orders. and will of
course necessitate the payment yearly
of about $500 by the town. 1t means
a little more tax, but it also means
cheaper insurance to balance this
heavier tax, and it means ample fire
protection to all. The engine pur-
chased. together with the hose, will he
able to cope with a fire three blocks
away. 1t is an enterprising step on the
part of the board and the people. and
the Courier heartily endorses the move
ment. As one of the heaviest tax pay
ers in the town we are more than will
ling to pay little additional tax to
know that we have reasonable chance
of fighting fire. Let the good work
proceed.

Rev. E. S. Shaw preached his initial
sermon in the Congregational church
last Sunday morning from the text Go
ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature" Mark 1916
The speaker spoke principally upon the
different evangelical and christian
methods used in converting men to the
religion of Christ, and his sermon all
through was very interesting. The
church was crowded by people who
came out to hear Mr.. Shaw and prior
to delivering his sermon he made a
very neat Introductory address in
which he thanked the people for the
heartily welcome he had received at
their hands, and then he briefly stated
what he intended to do in his pastoral
work in this town.

6 feet for the three walks, which can
be divided to suit the grower.
Herewith is shown a section of q
greenhouse 10 feet wide, feet high
on the sides, feet inches of which is
of wood, and the balance is glass up to
the plate, which is of wood. 1t is bet
ter to have the upper part of the sides
of glass, because the plants will do
better than where they are of wood.
The height to tho ridge is feet.
There is no need for heavy rafters,
but the roof can be made of strong
sash bars and joined together at the
ridge, by pieces of wood, made to fit
the angle of the roof, and to be secure
ly screwed to the rafters or sash-bars
to prevent any sag to the roof or cast
iron angle brackets made for the pur-
pose can be purchased. 1t is not neces-
sary to put them on every sash-bar if
there are no rafters, but put the pieces
about feet apart.
The ventilating sash are fastened to
the ridge, and are best operated by
means of the ordinary ventilating ma
chinery, which can be bought for a
small figure. If preferred ventilation
can be supplied to both sides of the
ridge.
Regarding the flues. 1t is customary
to build furnace at each end of the
house, one under each bed, and to make
the fiues of cement tile, carrying them
to the farther ends of the house, where
they are connected to chimneys rising
above the top of the greenhouse. Care
must be taken to have all the joints
tight, as the gas from them is bad fol-
the plants.
1t is better to pay little more and
put in either a hot water or steam
heating apparatus, which can be relied
upon.
The temperature required for coldest
nights is from As to so degrees.

A western Legisiator's Opinion.

j. j. Baston, member from the Thir-
ty-fourth district Hennepin county,
thinks that the legislature this winter
should do something to stop the cry
which organized labor in the state Is
making against convict labor. Mr..
Baston is the only country member of
the Hennepin delegation, and natural
ly is interested in good roads. 1t is
his idea that the convicts should be
called in from the work which they
are now doing for shoemakers and
others and put to work pounding rock
for the roads Of the state. Such a
course would interfere with no class
of labor and would soon make great
improvement in tho roads of the state.
