Advertise the Event Through
the Northwest. i"

It is definitely settled that those inter-
ested in Indian education throughout the
United States will meet in Minneapolis
next July at the same time as the Ma
tional Educational association conven-
ton. Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent
of Indian education for the government,
has signiied her willingness to make this
arrangement. Indian school teachers have
usually met with the National associa-
ton, but this year Miss Reel had about
decided to go it alone with her gathering.

favor of Minneapolis, Miss Reel and her
committee, who favored this city, decided
to stick to the old program and meet with
the national association. The Indian
school teachers expect to have an attend
ance of $500.

The Commercial Club Will endeavor to
secure an exceedingly large representa-
ton at the N. E. A. convention from the
northwestern states. Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon will be thoroughly canvassed.
The invitation to North Dakota to CO.
operate with Minnesota in breaking rec
ords on attendance was to be read at the
convention Of the North Dakota Educa-
tional association to-day. The local COM
mitteeg will keep in touch with all state
gatherings of this kind as one means OF
advertising the national convention. A
large amount of advertising will also be
done through the educational journals.

(For original account, see page 81
Washington, Jan. "A misunderstand-
ing particularly annoying to the Off
Gals who were at the White House recep-
ton yesterday, appears to have arisen
from the fact that Lady Pauncefote,
the wife of the British ambassador, with
the embassy staff, held the place of honor
at the head of the diplomatic line as the
reception began. The rule in such cases
is quite clear and we'll established in
presidents; namely, that the ambassador
present, longest in continuous service at
the capital shall head the line. 1t was
through an act of gallantry aud gracious
ness on the part of the German ambas-
sador himself that this rule was not ap-
piled yesterday. Lady Pauncefote in
formed the German ambassador of her
husbands illness and of her recognition
of the fact that he, Herr Won Holleben
was, for the day, dean of the diplomatic
body. The ambassador declined, however,
to take advantage of his position, and
himself assigned to Lady Pauncefote the
place she occupied at the head of the line
with the embassy staff.

Care Of Farm Implements.

Are your binder and mower still out
where you stopped work last? Are the
plows still coated with the soil of last
springs blowing? These things cost
money, and the rust, like a canker. will
eat up your profits. The last thing to
do when the harvest Is over Is to clean
the reaper and mower and put them
away. Clean away all the old caked
grease and dirt and use kerosene to
loosen up the accumulation. Then in
the fall after all the farm implements
are in put a coat Of paint on all sur
faces OF wood or iron that are painted
and give the polished mold boards a
coat OF boiled oil. Then when work
opens again you will have tools and
implements in order to begin and will
save time and increase the life Of the
tools very materially.

Cleaning Up Poultry Yards,

Spading or blowing q poultry yard is
not cleaning it up" according to our
view Of the case. 1t is simply conserv-
ing the filth and preventing the purify
ing sunshine from doing its sanitary
work. The way to clean up a poultry
yard" is to clean 1t up and burn the
trash or remove 1t and use it to fer
.Hlize cultivated crops. Flowing is al!
right II the fowls are to be removed
and a crop OF some sort grown, for in
that case the crops remove most OF the
deleterious matter. But In this case
the yard" ceases to be a poultry yard
for a season. The way to clean a poul-
try yard Is to use a rake, a broad
broom, fire and a ~wheelbarrow and
then give the sun free access to the
surface. Spade up a place for the
fowls to scratch and wallow in, and
the thing is done about right.-Farm
