The training of the hand for boys
and girls, says DIR. J. l.. VI. Curry,
should be begun early and carried
on simultaneously with the ordin-
airy school course. This hand labor
does not retard but rather aids men
tai progress Hand culture is real
ly mind culture; it will aid pupils
in earning a living; it dignifirS la
Dor and will furnish the trades
with a better class OF workers. The
incorporation of technical or indus
trial training with a school curric-
ulum has been tried so thoroughly
and successfully in different coun-
tries in Europe and in hundreds of
schools in America that ii is no
longer an experiment, but a dem
Onstrated success.

An exchange remarks that one
million dollars were paid the mer-
chants in Jacksonville last year for
supplies that Florida farmers could
easily furnish, but were drawn from
other states from Georgia to Maine.
A large sum was spent in Canada
for eggs. This sum would change
many a farmers account from the
bad to the good side.

Florida has one of the best school
systems in the south. and her pub
lie schools are among the very best,
but there is always plenty of room
for improvement in this line. This
state will soon be reimbursed $3.50
600 through an act of congress in
payment of the Florida Indian War
claim, and now the question arises,
what disposition shall be made of
this money? We suggest that it
might very properly be added to
the common school fund. 1t can
81 be expended to any better ad-
habage than in this way, and
"a, are plenty of uses to which it
tisrgsi be applied, such as erecting
bsuat buildings, providing better
fuA,iture and giving increased con-
veniences in every public school in
the state.

The discouraging report comes
from Manatee, Lee, DeSoto and
Hillsborough counties that there
will probably be about third of a
crop of oranges in that section next
season. The drouth, white fly, red
spider and scale have about ruined
the crop.

The South and the Presidency.

The Republican papers and the
so-called independent papers never
miss an opportunity to speak dis.
fparagingly of the south in public
life because of the south's willing.
ness to permit the western or east
ern Democrats to dominate the
Democratic party, Notwithstanding
the fact that she has many more
Democratic votes in congress and
in the electoral college than either
the east or west.
For instance, the New York Sun,
few days ago, in commenting on
suggestion made by the Mobile
Register, that the south should in
sist upon the nomination by the
Democratic party of a southern
man for president, took occasion to
insinuate that the south had fol-
lowed the lead of he northern Dem
ocracy so long that she could do
nothing else now.
The New York Evening Post, in
commenting on the same matter,
said that the number of southern
Democrats in public life who are
worthy of the presidency was not
likely to increase while the present
condition of repression and subser-
vlency continued, while the Wash
ingtOn Post said that the south
would not longer submit to the
leadership of western Democrats or
occupy the position of servitude to
the eastern Democrats if she were
represented in public life and in
party councils by the powerful and
brilliant men who represented her
before the civil war"
The Savannah News asserts that
all OF these papers keep in the back
ground the reason why the south is
to assert herself in party
AS long as the south has
the race question to deal with il is
probable that the northern Demo
Gratis will try to shape the policies
OF the Democratic party and name
its candidates for president. They
believe they can depend upon the
southern states for majorities what
ever the policies may be and who |
ever the presidential nominee NAV
be, and 50 they insist that they |
shall be permitted to say what men |
and measures will be the most pop |
Ular in the north. The News saws |
that there are signs, however, that
1t IS the purpose of the southern
Democrats to be more a-scrtivc I'm
the matter of policies. Unless they
lre they may not be able To con
-inue to deliver majoriticS with
the same certainty that they have
i'm the past,

Examiner Johnson to Discuss Methods
With County Officers.

s. T. johnson, public examiner, has
decided to invite all county attorneys
elect in Minnesota to gather with him
in st. Paul. The object Is to dis
cuss matters of county administration
and legislation that may be considered
necessary for q proper conduct of
country business.
Mr.. Johnson has also requested the
members of the executive committee
of the county auditors association to
cooperate with him and to call a
meeting of the newly elected auditors
at the same time. The auditors being
the accountants for all county bust
ness, and the county attorneys the
legal advisors, it is felt that the gath
ering should produce some valuable
ideas-which will be placed before the
Legislature. The date for the meeting
has not been set and Mr.. johnson Ii
open to suggestions. 1t will probably
be held some time this month, prior
to the meeting of the Legislature. :

|COAL IS SCARCE
The Cold Wave Emphasizes
This Fact.
With the Mercury Fourteen Degrees
Below Zero, Fuel Is Difficult to
Obtain.

The mercury fell to six degrees be-
low 10 Saturday night. Sunday was
&C day, with a northwest wind,
an, the temperature only got up to
two degrees above zero. Last might
the mercury dropped to fourteen de.
grees below zero. After an unusually
mild fall, winter is setting in with
much sternness.
The cold weather finds many people
without coal. and it is next to impos
sible to get any. The shipments
amount to only carload or two at in
tervals of few days, and as car
holds but. thirty tons it can be seer
that the supply in no degree meets
the demand The dealers are besiege6
with people wanting coal, but are I'M
able to fill their needs. When a Cal
of coal is received, it is dealt around
in ton and half ton lots. in order tc
reach as many people as possible.
Wood is also scarce article on thu
market, although more has beer
brought in since the sleighing begar
than before With the advent of Sc
verely sscolda, weather, people realize
the limited supply of fuel more thar
when the weather was milder. 1t il
no cheaper to burn wood at presen
prices than coal
The coal situation in Mankato is NJ
different from what 1t Is in all othel
parts of the country. New York city
has but three days supply, and Chi
cago is on the verge of famine, thu
cold wave has caused coal to advanc,
a couple of dollars ton in the larg'
cities, where there is more or les
suffering.
If 1t Is true that the entire supply O
anthracite coal in the United Slater
will be exhausted in seventy-fi v,
years, as is claimed by some, the.pric,
will probably never be much less thar
it has been the past two years WOOD
Is also getting scarcer in this section
year by year, and the .'good OLD
days" of cheap fuel have probabl,
gone the way of good many othe
things.
In the meantime, let US hope tina
some of the coal that has been comins
up the lakes the past week will find it
way to Mankato.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
Police Cooperate to Enforce the
School Laws.

In it's report of the school board pro-
ceedings Friday evening. The Free
Press accidentally omitted the principal
part of the report of the special COM
mittee on compulsory education,
which was as follows:
t'We recommend, first, that at the
beginning of each semester every
teacher furnish the superintendent a
list of children who have not returned
to school, together with the reasons IN
each case for nonappearance SO far az
the teacher has been able to learn
second, that preceding the opening Of
each semester a notice be inserted In
the daily papers by the president o.
the board, briefly explaining the pro
visions of the school law third, tina
committee representing the board o.
education confer with the mayor tt
the END that some form of police co
operation be secured in cases where
at the discretion of the board, it may
be deemed advisable to enforce the
law.
The committee which prepared rh'
report consisted Of Mrs. Alice Ayrei
Smith, Evan Hughes and Superintend
emit Edwin B. Uline. The report wal
adopted and committee appointed Il
see the mayor.
It is very likely that the mayor vii
lend his cooperation in any manner
desired. as this is matter in which
the community as a whole is inter
ested.

FARM AND DAIRY.

The reckless waste of corn fodder
is appalling. About seventy FIVE per
cent of all the corn In the country. is
grown in the middle west corn belt.
The writer firmly believes that the
farmers of Minnesota can keep on
their farms twice as many cows and
other stock as they do now if they
would cut their corn fodder at the
proper time and shred it for roughage.
There is no gainssYing that in addi-
ton to the marketable corn-that the
fodder Is worth as much acre for acre
as timothy hay. Experiments prove
that one-third of all the digestable
material contained in the corn plant
is found in the fodder. This being
true those that do not care for the
fodder deliberately throw away one
third of the crop which cost much
labor and expense. There are many
thousands of tons of valuable roughage
now standing in the fields in Mime
sofa, which, if properly saved and
combined with other foods would en-
able our dairy farmers to engage more
extensively In Minnesots's most pro-
fitable industry. We would recommend
the growing of less timothy hay
which impoverishes the soil, and that
large acreage Of clover be sown
which enriches the land and the corn
fodder now wasted saved. This will
not only increase the fertility Of oui
: farms, but enable us to more largely
and successfully engage in dairying.

powers OF his new Treatments for
heart troubles, such as short breath.

smothering spells, putting of the ankles
or dropsy.
They are the result of twenty five
years of careful study. extensive
research, and remarkable experience
in treating diseases of the heart,
stomach and nerves. which often COM
plicate each case.
The Treatments are prepared ex-
pressly for each patient, ss the result
