The Christmas story by Miss Gladys
Winters. which appeared in last weeks
Argus. has received very favorable
mention by a number who read 1t.
We think the little Miss displayed UNI
usual talent for a first attempt. She
may have portrayed Mr.. Gray as be-
ing unnaturally severe IN even think
ing Of requiring his help to work on
Christmas day, but there may be such
instances. Then. again, to cap the
climax, Gladys might have made a
love match between Mr.. Gray and the
~deaconess, but 1t was not her purpose

NOW FOR THE BIG SHOW
Republican Convention Is to Be Held
in June or July.
Then Will Be Finally. Decided Excit-
ing GubernatorlaI Contest.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Robert Jamison, chairman of the Re
publican state central committee, will
call meeting of the committee soon to
make arrangements for the state con-
vention to nominate state officers. The
convention will probably be held in ST.
Paul late in June or early in July. The
basis of representation and the question
of changing the system of allowing each
county to have five delegates at large
may cause lively discussion, but the
general sentiment is that representa-
ton will be based on the vote of Gov
Van SAINT in 1902 and that the plan of
five delegates at large will not be chang
ed.
The convention will also nominate
eleven presidential electors, task which
is usually performed at the state con-
vention to elect four delegates at large
to the Republican national convention.
The electors were not chosen at the re-
cent convention at Minneapolis on &C
count of the short time between the call
and the convention. Several members of
the committee thought that the time was
too short to decide on presidential cleo
tors and also delegates to the state con-
vention There will be eleven presi-
Dental electors from Minnesota, one for
each congressman and senator.
The Duluth members of the state CEN
trail committee are waging lively cam
paign to have the convention held in Du-
luth instead of St. Paul. The matter
has been taken up by the Commercial
club and other Give organizations of that
city, and the city council has formally
invited the committee to decide on Du-
luth. The Republicans in the southern
part of the state are not inclined to ia
vor the idea, maintaining that Duluth is
too far away from the residences of
majority of the delegates.

GREAT WEATHER EXTREMES.
Month Of April Will Have a Variety
of Climate.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Washington, March 23.-The last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent March 81 to March
81, warm wave March 26 to 80, cool
wave March 20 to April 2. The next
disturbance will reach the Pacific coast
about April l, cross west of the Rockies
by close of April 2, great central valleys
April to eastern states April 6. A
warm wave will cross west of the
Rockies about April l3, great central val
leys April 3, eastern states April 5. A
cool wave will cross west of the Rockies
about April 4, great central valleys
April 6, eastern states April 8.
This disturbance will have many fea-
lures of interest. 1t comes during hot
weather period, will end with very low
temperatures. Warm weather about and
before this shake-up in the elements will
have pushed crop-weather rapidly for
ward in the northern states and the
wind-up of this storm will bring chill,
northern frosts, almost cold wave in
the northern United States, quite a cold
wave in western Canada. But some good
will come with the bad. Extensive rains
from April to 10 will put an abundance
of moisture in the soil and fit it for the
good crop weather that will follow to
near the close of April.
Dangerous storms may be expected
from the 18th to 18th of April. These
will be described in the next bulletin in
which I will also give general fore
cast of April weather. The month of
April will go to greater weather ex-
tremes than usual.
