Teachers and Parents.

During the hours while child is in
school, the teacher stands to the child
in the relation of a parent. Do parents
always think of this, when children go
home with complaints about the
teacher? Do they realize that if on
insufficient ground they take up the
children's side Of the controversy and
endeavor to break down the teachers
authority, they are breaking down their
own authority at the same time? The
discipline of the public school is as
beneficial to the average child as the
study. Out of regard for the child, the
influence of the parent should as a rule
be employed to keep the child in a
frame of mind in which amenability to
the school discipline will be easy and
unquestioning. When a child COM
plains Of teachers markings it is usu-
ally the wisest course for the parent to
argue the teachers case with the child,
instead of assuming without evidence
that the complaint is we'll grounded.
The teachers interest is to give all her
pupils the best markings which their
recitations will warrant. It is no credit
to a teacher to have the reputation OF
being unable to impart instruction to
the pupils under her charge. Pupils
who do not receive markings sufficient
ly high to make at the end of the term
an average exempting them from ex-
animation, may fail to pass at the ex-
animation, with the result that they
cannot be promoted when their COM
rades are. Is it reasonable to assume
that a teacher, animated by zeal for
favorites and spite against worthy,
capable pupils, will force herself, by the
practice of systematically assigning low
markings for the latter, to retain them
in her class after those for whom she
feels a personal preference have been
passed on to another grade beyond her
jurisdiction? Ninety-nine hundred tbs
of the stories injurious to teachers
which are carried home frome school
rest upon basis of wild improbabillty

The Cooperative Creamery.

The Cooperative Creamery.
At the meeting of the State Dairy
mems Association at St. Paul Wednes-
day, Even Evenson of Strout took up
"The Cooperative Creamery VS.. the
Creamery Trust" He gave long ar
ray of figures to prove that the cooper
ative creameries' prices on butter fat to
the patrons were higher during the last
year than that of the trust by as much
as 21@ cents pound. With these con-
ditions, and the fact that the product
of the cooperative creameries is Of the
highest quality and commanding a
premium in the best markets., he
thought it very unwise to give up sys-
tenn that had done so much for the
state. His figures showed that, while
the trust was reliable and undoubtedly
the largest butter factory in the state,
the advantage that it had in cheaper
manufacturing and buying did not &C.
crue to the patrons, but to the stock
holders, and must Of necessity do this.
He also emphasized the point that but
ter made under the conditions requir-
ing the long distance shipping of cream
could not equal in quality that of the
creameries situated near their patrons
The credit Of the industry, he said, was
not raised by trust methods. He
strongly advised the farmers to adhere

agement, he advised all patrons to stick
to it and straighten them out. ~

A LITTLE MERGER.
You have all heard a great d

You have all heard a great deal
about the merger" question;
but here is a phase Of the subject
that directly effects the people
of Farley, Tenstrike and all other
stations on this branch of the M.
& I. railroad and brings it home
to every settler in this region in
way that can be understood.
Every settler, in clearing his
land, has acres Of good timber
suitable for cord wood which
bring him hundreds Of dollars It
there was a market for it, but he
cannot compete with the wood
dealers on the Great Northern
railroad on account Of the freight
rates, as the cars have to be
hauled around by Brainerd and
the shipper has to pay the long
mileage. This would be different
if there was "Y' put in at Be-
midi. SO that nj. q /. cars could
be transferred at that place for
points in Dakota. The railroad
companies do not want to put
one in, for that would be used as
evidence that there really was a
merger, and they will only put
one in at the demand Of the rail
road and warehouse commission.
Six months ago, W. +. Street,
of Bemidji, requested the rail
road companies to put in a "Y'
and later he requested the rail-
road and warehouse commission
to have the companies comply
with the request. This they say
they will do when the people OF
Bemidii sign a petition for it.
We hope this can be done, and
the people of this neck O the
woods will ever thank Mr.. Street
for the interest he has taken in
this matter if he succeeds in get
ting the "Y,' as it means thous-
ands of dollars to the settlers
and the merchants. Let us have
a little of this sort of merger. "

Here is what the st. Paul

merger: CAS- matter of fact the
merger, so-called, is only part OF
arrangements of vast extent to
pour the commerce of the world
through these Northern chan
nels. So far from being al bad
thing for the state, it is the best
thing that ever happened to its
business and agricultural in
terests. So that it is hardly
worth while to make his clap
trap about the merger promln'

Official County and City Paper.
THE VOTERS TO JUDGE.


condemnation? The voters must
Judge it's merits. If it works
well, this law will be maintained;
if poorly, it probably will be done
away with by the next legislature.
The supreme test will lie in the
interest which the voters show
in the September primaries.
Never before have the people
so great power and never be-
fore the politicians so little.
This year the people not only
elect their county and legislature
officers, but decide in advance
who shall be the candidates.
Under convention system, this
intent was easily frustrated.
Party conventions seldom re-
fleet true public sentiment. 1t
is often a minority rule over the
majority. Delegates are often
mere wheels which the astute
politician slyly inserts into his
own machine. Aided by del
.egates, he launches his own boat
and waits for the swell of party
fever to carry it into port.
Nominations have often been
nothing but midnight plottings
and selfish jugglings. From
such parentage sprang the COM
mon scrub-''the dark horse
So the great body OF voters,
whose minds the most faithful
delegate could not read, were
compelled to shove into Office
men they would rather see in
jail. They must do that, or pick
from outside the party a caEdi-
date equally incompetent.
Nominations often meant-not
the best candidate-but the best
delegate driver. Good men are
usually poor hands at packing
a convention. But under the
new law the delegate driver loses
his whip. The 'dark horse"
will seldom be taken from the
stall. The inexperienced candi-
date need not bargain for an
office through middle men. He
can deal with the voters direct.
We believe the average voter
will endorse the primary system,
while the average politician will
condemn it. If the voters, how
ever, do not awake to it's duties,
the boss will cry: "Behold, the
law is failure, for the people
took no interest in it," .
1t is predicted that in the
farming districts, the attendance
at the September primary, or
first election, will be small. But
the farmers should remember
that the first election is as i'm
portant as the second and should
be as we'll cared for. The prim-
ary is the SEEDING TIME OF GOOD
GovERNMENT--then you select
party nominees from the Finest
of the wheat Two months
later, you simply harvest the
best officers from all parties.
"When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice, but
when the wicked beareth rule,
the people mourn"
We consider the primary elec-
tion law to be the greatest step
towards good citizenship since
the adoption of the Australian
ballot law. A reform wing of
the republican party of Wlscon,
sin has for years Intellectually
fought for the introduction OF
this measure. By this adoption,
Minnesota has again shown it's
. advancement over neighboring
states, and the republican party
has shown it's ability to lead to
higher and better ends. If the
everyday voter will but do his
duty on both election days, both
state and party will be amply
applauded. And the new law
will stand.

Better Results From Feeding.

A company has recently been
formed in Chicago for the manu-
facture of contrivance which it
is claimed will revolutionize the
feeding business. 1t is not in a
theoretical stage, it is said, but
has been given practical tests,
which prove that it will do all that
is claimed for it-make a bushel of
corn go as far as two bushels now
go in the fattening of stock. The
device consists of a large galvan-
lied iron case, with drawers to
serve as receptacles for shelled corn,
each drawer having capacity of
half a bushel of grain. On the top
and four sides of the case is placed
common moss, such as may be gath
cred in the woods. The moss is
three inches thick, and is compress
ed so as to form a huge sponge for
the retention of water. 1t is thor
oughly dampened, and in this
moist atmosphere the corn begins
to sprout almost Immediately. In
four days the hard grain is convert
ed into a mass of tender sprouts
fed by the softened pulp. 1t is
then ready for feeding to live stock
or poultry. The claims made for
this process are:
1. 1t increases the weight by
the gowth of grain up to 100 per
cent.
2. Renders the grain wholly
digestible and nutritive.
3. Brings to the grain by chem
zeal changes most valuable food
elements not otherwise obtained.
4. 1t aids digestion of other
foods with which the grown grains
come in contact.
5. The food supplies the best
tonic that can be gwen to animals.
6. 1t converts corn, the great
stock feeding material, into the
ideal food for poultry and all grow
ing stocks.
Z. 1t supplies at all seasons of
the year a food to all animals
which is the equivalent and count
erpart of the nutritious pastures of
summer.
Liverymen in Chicago who have
given it tests say that eight
pounds of the sprouted grain goes
further as horse food than six
quarts OF oats.
