We are building up powerful navy
for the express purpose of preserving
peace, and every battleship and cruiser
that hoists her flag in commission is a
pledge that the peace will be kept. In
the past few years we have made won
derful advancement in possessions,
commerce and in wealth, and great as
have been the increases in our navy,
they have been trivial in comparison
to the enlargements of our national
interests. A great incentive to indus

Death of G.. A. Egge.

G.. A. Egge who resided on farm
three miles south of Princeton. died
very suddenly last Saturday morning
of epileptic fits from which he had suf-
fered for many years. He came to
this section three years ago from Iowa.
Before moving here he had doctored
some for his illness, but since moving
to Minnesota he had never consulted a
physician and did not consider that he
could obtain any relief. During last
week the fits were more frequent and
also more severe, but neither Mr..
Egge nor his wife realized that there
would be any fatal termination.
1t was at first decided to ship the re-
mains to Mr.. Egge's old home in Iowa,
but as no physician had been attend
ing the man during his last illness,
it was impossible to secure any death
certificate, and it became necessary to
hold an inquest in order to legally de-
termine the cause of death. Coroner
N. D. Trumble came up from Elk
River Monday night and after viewing
the remains decided that death re-
suited from natural causes. The
father of Mr.. Egge and a brother of
the widow arrived Monday night from
Iowa. The relatives finally decided
not to ship the body to Iowa, and the
funeral was held at the home of the
deceased on Tuesday at 2 o'clock P. NJ,
Rev. Lasgord of the Norwegian Luth-
eran church, officiating. The inter-
ment was in the German Lutheran
cemetery.

Changes In Game Laws.

Changes in Game Laws. n.
Some important changes were made
in the game laws at the special session
Of the legislature. Under the 1901 law
that purported to prevent the killing
OF deer out Of season, there was a
strong question whether anything
could be done to man for killing deer
any time of the year. The law intend
ed to say that no "elk, deer or fawn,"
could be killed at any time except
that deer could be killed between Nov.
10 and Nov. 30. The words 'sdeer or
fawn" were omitted by mistake, so the
prohibition was only against killing
elk. At the special session, the legis-
ture added the missing words, making
the law beyond question again.
For some years the sale of brook
trout and bass has been prohibited,
but the prohibition under the old law
ran out Jan. l, 1902. If it had not been
for the special session, trout and bass
could have been sold on the market
this season. The legislature, however,
extended the time to Jan. l, 1908, and
no brook trout or bass can be sold
before then.

An exchange tells good story of a
young married couple who agreed to
argue fully and frankly some question
every morning in order to learn more
of each other. The first question hap
pened to be, ''Can a woman dress on
$40 year," He took the affirmative,
and when last seen he had climbed into
a hay loft and had pulled the ladder up
after him.

SMUT IN OATS AND WHEAT.

w. M. Hays and A. Boss of the State Exper-
mental Station Give Farmers Some
Valuable Suggestions.
Smut in oats is doing more damage
than most farmers realize. Prof. r.,
A. Moore of the Wisconsin Expert
ment Station visited many counties in
that State in 1901 and by actual count
found that an average of 20 per cent of
the oat plants were affected by smut,
reducing the yield by that amount.
The smutted plants are smaller, do not
mature early and are often unobserved.
Consequently most farmers are not
aware that this plant disease is so seri-
ously injuring their crops. ....
CAUSE OF SMUT. ....
Oat smut is propagated by the smut
spores which live over winter on the

Clerk of Court Briggs has received
the judgment in a decree of divorce
from the district court in the case of
Rose Taylor VS.. John Taylor. The
parties were married at Milaca in 1896
and lived together until October 10th,
1900, when the head of the family de-
serted the wife and mother and has not
returned to his frau since. Mrs. Tay-
lor, whose maiden name was Rose
smalley, applied for separation from
her truant husband, and asked to have
her maiden name restored and also be
allowed the sum of $50 for costs and
attorneys fees. She has one child four

Good for Rheumatism.

Last fall I was taken. with a very
severe attack of muscular rheumatism m,
which caused me great pain and annoy
ance. After trying several prescrip-
tions and rheumatic cures, I decided to
use Chamber]ain's Pain Balm, which I
had seen advertised in the South Jer-
seyman. After two applications of
this remedy, I was much better, and
after using one bottle was completely
cured.-SALL1E HARRIS, Salem, N. J.

An exchange tells of farmer down
in Oklahoma, who being in town one
day, took a notion to 60 to a theater.
He went to the ticket window and
planked down SIS gold piece and asked
for good seat The show was 'Forty
Thieves" The ticket agent showed
out a ticket and a dollar in change.
Picking up the dollar the farmer
started out of the building. ssHold
on!'' called the ticket seller, ''you've
forgotten your ticket.' 'sKeep it. dern

to see the other thirty-nine.' y

The Value of Good Seed Oats.

Most farmers recognize the import
ance of getting we'll cleaned seed. In
the tanning, the hulls and light oats
are blown out, and it takes less seed for
an acre. Cheap oats bought for seed
are often full of the seeds of Injurious
weeds-in fact, this is the usual way
in which our farms become infected
with mustard. Mustard can seldom
be entirely removed from oats by fam
ming, as it sticks in the hulls. Farms
free from mustard are the only safe
sources of seed.
It is just as important, when buying
seed, to get variety which has yield
ed we'll in the locality if possible.
There are many varieties of oats, and
these, although given the same care
and treatment, will sometimes differ in
yield as much as twenty bushels per
acre. The extra yield of a good vari-
ETY. is almost clear profit. But farm
cannot afford to test many varieties,
and seedsmen offer a very limited
choice. The selection of the best
varieties of grain is properly the work
of the experiment farm.
The result of the work of the last
six years, in testing thirty-four
kinds of oats, has shown that the
variety known as Improved Ligowo is
a heavier yielder than any other test
ed, averaging five and one-half bushels
more per acre than the next best. AS
this variety is difficult to get from
seedsmen,sit has been grown for seed
on the experiment farm, and this
spring limited quantity in for sale,

five cents per bushel, cash to accom-
