all.
We notice in e. recent issue of the
Minneapolis Times that the progress
sive twin city daily has inaugurated a
popular voting contest for the benefit
Of subscribers and their friends. It is
termed 1.-The Great Profit Sharing
Contest and both old and new sub
scribers may enter upon the same con-
ditions.
The subject matter of the interesting
contest in which the large cash prizes
will be paid is the total popular vote
to be cast for president of the United
States on the 9Th day of November,
1904. It seems to us that every man,
woman and child in the United States
could be interested in the greatest
election the country has ever had. It
costs nothing to enter the Times con-
test as every cent paid is applied on
subscription. We would suggest that
our readers secure copy Of the Daily
or Sunday Times containing the list OF
prizes which are offered. Any of the
prizes are fortunes in themselves and
surely would be acceptable by resi-
dents of this community.

A Handy Slaughter House.

Not more than a week ago an animal
was slaughtered in back yard in the
central part Of our town in sight OF a
number of small children. The deed
was done by men supposed to be civil.
lied. Perhaps it was little inconven.
lent to have to take the calf to a
slaughter house. But they had nc
right to perform the act within the vii.
lage limits. But even worse than a
violation Of the law is the fact that
children were allowed to be witnesses.
We wonder if those men care if their
children and our children grow up tc
be cut throats and criminals. Such
scenes have more influence upon the
minds OF the young than we realize
We hope that this will never happen
again. If it does there will be some
serious consequences not on the pro.

Immigration for Minnesota.

It is high time that an organized
effort was made to make known the
opportunities that await the industri-
Gus and Intelligent in Minnesota. It
is therefore gratifying to see that the
Commercial club of this city has taken
the lead in this matter, and by calling
State immigration convention to be
held in this city June II and Is has
practically laid the foundation for the
organization Of permanent State
association for the systematic adver-
tisement of Minnesota's attractions,
and the methodical encouragement OF
immigration. Results of the greatest
Importance may flow from an effective
and well-managed immigration cam
paign persistently conducted. It is a
function that might without impropri-
ETY. be conducted by the State: but
since the legislature has refused to
realize the Importance of systematic
publicity just at this juncture, it is
we'll that public spirit has come to the
rescue.
Many states maintain immigration
bureaus and nearly all make some
pretense of collecting statistics and
making them available. For mum
Der of years Minnesota pretended to
collect agricultural statistics, did it
as badly as possible, fortunately
buried them where few could find them,
and seems to have suspended opera

DIR. FORBES ON THE CONFERENCE.

He Talks about the Work of the General
Conference at Los Angeles.
In an interview in the Duluth News
Tribune Rev. DR.. Robert Forbes who
has just returned from the general con-
ference at Los Angeles gave an inter-
esting account of the work of the con-
ference.
"There has been considerable mis-
apprehension, said DR.. Forbes, in
regard to the retirement of five bishops
on account of old age, but it must be
borne in mind that one man of
seventy three was retained. The ques-
ton was one merely of general efici-
ency, and the conference was compel
led to consider whether these aged
bishops would be good for four years
more of active service. Those who are
retired were not thereby Inundated in
any degree. They retain all their
episcopal functions, being merely re-
lieved of the burden of extensive
travels.
Concerning the proposed repeal of
the clause in our creed prohibiting
dancing and card playing, I will say
that no one in the church is in favor
OF these forms OF amusement. A re-
spectacle minority, however, believe
that it is not matter for church leg
islation and should be left to the con-
sciences of the individual members with
a warning placed in under the ''gen-
eral advices.'' Strange to say the
clerygymen were more liberal in this
matter than the lay delegates.
In addition to the number Of bish-
ops reappointed or replaced several
new Offices were created, all having
coordinate powers. The distribution
is as follows: Africa, two bishops, a
white man and a negro; India,, four
bishops: Japan and Korea, one:
Europe, one general perintendent:
South America, one: United States,
seven superannuated and sixteen &C.
tive bishops.
my duties, I fear," said DR..
Forbes, 'are little understood even
by some of the clergy. AS CORE
spending secretary of the Board of
Church Extension I have Philadelphia
for headquarters and the whole United
States as my field. The board every
year handles 81, 100000 belonging to
the loan and annuity funds and re-
ceives all contributions of the differ
ent churches. The secretary's duties
are to encourage the raising of church
revenue and to superintend it's dis
tribution, My work will take me all
over the country, SO that I will have
no settled home. My family will re-
main in Duluth. In view of the fact
that the majority of church members
live east of the Mississippi it is ex-
tremely gratifying to Methodists here
that Minnesota secured three ex-
tremely important Offices, two Of them
going to the Northern Minnesota dis
trict.'

HOPEFUL HARRY,s VIEWS.
He Writes About the Weather and Crop
and Other Tonnes.

and Other Topics.
It looks to the outside world very
much as though the Glendorado oil
lamp had gone out and there is no oil
to fill it. It would seem that the fever
has abated and also the hopes of un-
interested people. Yet we wait with
patience for the coming of the time to
9 strike oil,'' knowing that large
bodies move slow.
Notwithstanding the recent hard
rains and the overfowing of streams
and the filing OF sloughs with water,
grass and small grains were never
more promising than at the present
time. A few fields are a little late but
are of good color and growing rapid
ly. and there is luxurious growth Of
both grain and grass in meadow and
pasture all through this section of
country. The season being a little
late and some farmers also late we
cannot form an opinion of corn and
potatoes. Late season and hard rains
has kept the ground wet and cold, con-
sequeently corn and potatoes are slow
IN coming up, but where good seed
has been used there is little danger of
its rotting in the ground and I will
here state that good sound seed Of all
kinds is one of the most important
items in good farming and good crops.
9 g 9
There is one method among farmers
that consider very unwise and that.
is that Of planting potatoes late.
There are farmers in this vicinity who
are now clearing and breaking land
with the intention Of planting potatoes
and it will be the middle of June be-
fore they can plant them. Potatoes
planted this late on new breaking sell
dom get ripe and are not fit for the
table or market. Every farmer knows
how easily unripe potatoes get bruised
in handling and such potatoes are
positive injury to the market. It is
true that early varieties like the Ohio
may yield a fair crop Of reasonably
good potatoes, but the Burbank is the
leading potato for the market, and
this potato requires a long season
and plenty OF sunshine in order to
make it a good yielder. I would
rather plant some variety of flint corn
late than to plant potatoes late.
I once heard of a farmer who spent
much time "callating.' This will
never make a man successful. es-
pecially with such seasons as last
season. The successful farmer is the
one who plans in advance so that if
bad weather comes to interfere with
his plans he is ready for work as
soon as the sun shines. The Yankees
motto is Push your work. never let
your work push you.'' He remembers
the old proverb Of the early bird.

The town Of Milo has purchased an
acre of land for an addition to the town
cemetery, and new fence is being
built around the entire cemetery, in
Guiding the new addition. The fence
will be the best fence around any Gem
etery in this county. 1t will be a
credit to the officials and the people of
the town.

Prizes to Operators.

The Minnesota Mutual T. & T. Co..
through Manager Avery, have made
up list Of prizes for operators in the
exchanges Of the system. The prizes
will be awarded on the merit Of the
work done by the operators during the
months Of May, June and July. The
prizes are given to stimulate the oper-
ators and increase the efficiency Of the
service to patrons. Said Manager
Avery: "We expect the villages hav-
ing exchanges will become interested
and cooperate with the home oper-
atOrs in their effort to win the prizes.
The points taken in consideration in
making an award of prizes will be
promptness in transmitting reports,
fewest unsolicited accounts, neatness
and correctness of reports, smallest
number Of inquiries from AUDITOR
| office, and promptness in attention
given line trouble reports and other
matters Of interest to the company and
it's patrons. The prizes are liberal.
and the management is satisfied there
will be an earnest effort made by the
operators to win one OF the three
prizes, and the good service now Civ
en- will be made better.''

tions six years ago. AS inaccurate
statistics are worse than no statis-
tics, this was a very sensible step.
Nowadays it's agricultural, lumber and
iron resources, it's shipping and COM
mercial fisheries, it's summer resorts,
it's manufactures and railroad facili-
ties, and all the other commercial and
industrial features are practically
neglected. The only attractive publ
cation that is produced is the legisla-
tive blue book, which, while it main
tains q department. called History,
Description and Resources" devotes
only three pages to a perfunctory de-
scription and not word to resources
except here and there by mere acct
dent. In the index there is nothing
about lumber, iron ore Or -four, and
apparently nothing in the text. In
short, there is no advertising of Min
nesota except such as the railroads
choose to undertake.
The time has come when this is Of
especial Importance. Carload after
carload Of emigrants pass through the
State to settle farther west on lands
no better than or actually inferior to
those of Minnesota and in cOmmuni-
ties where educational. commercial
and other opportunities are compare

this population. It's iron ore. though
adding wealth to the State, forms the
basis for no great industry, as it
would if there were coal with which
to convert it into pig iron. It's lumber
ing is g dying industry owing to the
reckless and destructive methods puI-
sued. Even its Touring industry is
not on such a firm foundation as could
be hoped. The power used is largely
produced by imported coal, while to
the westward there are huge water
powers that with q slight shifting of
the principal sources Of wheat product
in and Of the markets may cause an
other shift of the -four industry to the
westward. Minnesota S reliance in the
future, even more than in the past,
will be on it's agricultural industries.
To this end not only is population
needed, but it must be an intelligent
agricultural population: Minnesota
has not made the most OF it's agricul-
tural opportunities. Among q large
number Of very superior farmers is a
large number Of careless farmers.
The result has been that. with the best
Of soil and a superior climate, the
average product of Minnesota farms
is considerably below what it ought to
be. as shown by comparisons with
Iowa. But this neglect is the settler s
opportunity. The effect Of poor farm
ing methods has been to reduce the
selling value of land far below it's pro-
ducing valne under good management.
The very best of farm lands in settled
and long established communities can
be bought for almost half what they
are worthsto good farmers. There is
therefore no reason why an organized
effort to induce settlement by intelli-
gent farmers should not succeed, and
there is every reason why such an
effort should be made.-Pioneer Press.
