The total number of votes in the
Republican National Convention OF
1892 was 906. Since then Utah has
been admitted to Statehood, adding
four votes, making total of 91O. In
the call for the convention this year
chairman Carter Of the National Com
mittee directed all Territories seeking
Statehood to.elect four delegates-at-
large, the question of their admission
to be decided by the convention. If
Arizona, New MEXICO and Oklahoma
each elect four delegates-at-large and
they are all admitted, the total number
of votes in the ST. Louis convention
will be 922,

A. shrewd and successful business

A. shrewd and successful business
man always considers his advertising
expenses among the first of his
necessary outlay. He looks at it in
the same way as he does his store
rent, clerk hire, insurance and profits.
He will, in fact,.pay more attention to
advertising than to the location of his
store, and the more he advertises the
more his business increases. 1t stands
to reason, unimpeachable, that adver-
Using does pay. Look at your sue
cessful business men. your million
aire merchant; there is not one but
what is heavy advertiser, and they
owe their success to the discreet use
of printers ink.

ARBOR DAY.

Gov. Clough last week issued the
following proclamation to the people
of the. state in which he sets aside
FRIDAY, April "a, as Arbor Day:
"This state has manifested it's inter
est in tree culture by expanding
annually, since 1873, $4,000 in boun-
ties for tree planting. The forest and
tree planting interests of Minnesota
are of very great Importance, and |
earnestly ask every farmer, and espe-
cially every agricultural association, so
to celebrate the day that the public
appreciation of the Importance of
forestry may be increased.
The press, pulpit, public schools
and higher institutions of learning
can especially aid in this work. They
are therefore particularly invited ard
requested to join with all other classes
and agencies Of society in securing a
due observance of this proclamation.
All good citizens should heartily
observe this day in planting trees in
public aud private grounds. Public
parks, school yards, church yards, and
even the public highways can be i'm
proved and made beautiful by the
planting Of trees, and especially so in
this section of the state where a tree

scarcity. Nothing is more comfor-
able than the shade of tree on

Take time by the forelock Now
is the time for the farmer to formulate
his plans for the coming season.
The TRIBUNE deems it advisable to
warn the farmers against the onA-crop
plan. Diversified farming is what
pays; then if you have failure in one
crop you have others to fall back on.
Last year the man who turned his
farm into potato patch did not
realize the expense of cultivating
them. The most prosperous farmers
in the state are in the southern part
where they SOW several kinds of grain
and raise several kinds of stock, such
as cattle, sheep, hogs, ETC., and when
the market on grain depreciates they
feed it to stock and accure a profit
on it in that way. The majority of
the farmers in that section (or large
number of them) are interested in
creameries which nets them hand
some profit. Take it Que year after
another their farms yield them profit
simply because they have several
kinds and when one is failure it is
made up in something else. Let
farmer divide his farm up into pasture

In the Democratic National Con-
vention of 1892 there were 90 dele
gates, and under the two thirds rule
604 votes we're necessary to choice.
Cleveland received 617a votes on the
first ballot. The addition of Utah to
the list of States will add four dele
gates this year, making total of 914,
and 61O will be necessary to choice
if the two-thirds rule is maintained.

to ,ealize a profit off his produce.
The days OF the bonanza wheat farmer
are relegated to history, and what is
needed now is broad-minded farmer
who keeps posted on the market of
his country and governs himself

hot summers day; and nothing will
relieve the weary pedestrian like few
moments rest in the shade of tree
by the wayside, as it hides him from the
sweltering sun. Also remember that
lot we'll shaded with trees will sell
for a better price than one without
them; hence the benefit derived from
planting trees is reaped in more ways
than one.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1896-04-15

The reason why the average farmer
does not fully appreciate the weather
reports is because he doesn't get them
early enough. While still greater
accuracy in predicting is desirable, the
real problem is to perfect a scheme
for promptly notifying farmers every
where Of impending changes in the
weather that may effect their work
and business.

TN THE matter Of luucileons and teas the
''cOlor" fad is quite worn out. Yellow
luncheoDs and pink teas have had their
i day. The national luncheon and the
period tea have superseded them.
You may, if you have either wealth or wit
enough, give Greek, Il Roman, a Scandi-
navian or a Russian luncheon. They re-
quire a painful amount of ''rcading up"
beforehand, and either bulky purse or
exhaustive ingenuity to contrive. But
they are novel, and the average woman will
spend laborious days and sIeepless nights
to achieve a novel entertainment.
The period" tea has nothing to do with
punctuation; it merely ME ans a tea of the
Marie Antoinette period or the NapOleonic
or the Elizabethan or some other. Like the
luncheon, it is al instructive form of enter
ment. The tea room or the tea corner, is
furnished in Louis Seize or Elizabetban
style; the hostess and her helpers are clad
in Marie AntOinette or EliZabethan style,
and conversation is twisted to the French
Or English court, as the case may be.
