The resignation Of Supt. T. A.
Hoverstad of the State Experiment
Farm at Crookston, is regretted by
large number of people in the
northern part of the state, who have
learned to know him and to like him
since he became connected with
said farm. His work for the i'm
provement of agricultural methods
in the Red River valley has already
commenced to bear fruit. He is a
close student and observer of condi-
lions as they exist in the valley.
and it is loss to be deprived of his
rich experience in the future. Not
only as an agriculturist but as a
genial gentleman and man of affairs
has he made himself a host of friends.
Mr.. Hoverstad will 60 to Goodhue
county to take charge Of farm Of

1O:45-Ah, this is delightful. There

I'll have over four hours of good, solid
sleep before the car starts.

it were about five and one-haf inches

bump. guess was DOING. l thought

They must have let freight train get
loose and bang into us. Another shock

amount OF home reading matter.
During the past few months we
have refused several columns OF
patent medicine ads, including DR..
Rea's, and turned down advertis.
ing propositions from Montgomery,
Ward & Co., and other supply
houses, in anticipation of increased
demand for space by home con-
Germs. These latter falling to re-

among telegraphers preventing us
from getting additional telegraphic
news, (at a big expense at pound
rates) the grape vine telegraph and
our own wireless being also out of

hustle up other advertising matter,
we therefore are compelled to con-
tribute less to the paper trust this

THE great labor strikes which
involve millions of dollars of
loss to the public, the employers
and the strikers themselves, often
have very insignificant causes. For
instance the great teamsters strike
in Chicago which lasted 1O5 days
and involved 1920 teamsters started
in sympathy for II locked out gar
ment workers, and continued long
after the trouble of the garment
workers had been adjusted. The
loss to the wholesale, retail and
freight business of Chicago amounts
probably to six million dollars, and
the strikers themselves have lost a
large round sum in wages.

WHEN the question of drainage
was first being agitated, only mar
row strip of country along Red riv-
er was supposed to be interested.
How the idea has grown was we'll
illustrated at the recent drainage
convention at Crookston, where the
most ardent advocates were from
the north central and north eastern
counties of the state. It has been
found that the low and marshy land
in that part of the state is really the
most valuable for agricultural pur-
poses when properly drained. At
ter this, the Red River Valley will
not have to stand alone when ask
for appropriations for drainage.

WHEN the Japanese occupied
Dalmy, after the Russians had
abandoned it, there were no gates
for the dry docks. The Russians
had hidden them. Togo's ships
needed repairs and cleaning, but
without the gates the docks could
not be used. After searching in
vain for them, what did the level
headed Japanese do? Only this:
They inserted an ad in the local
papers, and in response thereto a
Chinaman appeared at headquarters
next day and told where the gates
had been sunk. Moral: Trade
that has been sunk can also be re-
covered by advertising judiciously
and continuously in the local pap
