Recommends Concerted Action.

Inc commissioner of immigration
for Minnesota, G. 81. Warner, is en-
deaVoring to secure the cooperation
OF all interests in bringing desirable
emigrants into the State. Anent ex-
isting conditions and the course that
should be pursued he says in part:
The twin cities are the gateway
through which very large number of
people seeking a change of base or
looking for new homes are passing
each week. They are for the most
part highly desirable class of set
tlers. 1t is apparent that but small
proportion of these people are. en-
amored with Minnesota this State
seems to have but few charms for
then. In some localities we are not
holding our own people, as the census
returns will show when published. I

gentleman living in a small county in
central Minnesota that since the first

were going. to look for ne W locations
andhomes outside the State.
This ought not to be so and it seems
to ne that the conditions are such as
to cause serious consideration upon
the part of those who wish to see the
vacant lands of Minnesota occupied
ands the resources of the State de-
velSped. And if that happy result is
to b accomplished soon the quicker
we realize that the tide is now against
US and that we must all pull together

that we may meet with some success
in our undertaking.

Rural School Consolidation.

Prof. Hayes, assistant secretary of
agriculture, who is on a visit in ST..
Paul, says in regard to rural school
consolidation and the teaching of
farming at such institutions:
In establishing a farm school in
the Red River Valley at Crookston
and in passing the Anderegg rural
school consolidation bill the Mime
sofa legislature has inaugurated the
most comprehensive plan for educat-
ing it's farmers of any state in the
Union.
The most important law passed by
the last legislature, so far as agricul-
ture and education are concerned is
the county option bill introduced by
Representative Anderegg, enabling
an entire county to consolidate it's
rural schools and convert them into
central institutions where will be
taught agriculture and home econ
omics as we'll as the general school
subjects.
Each one of these central schools
should be in the center of a ten-acre
farm and a cottage should be built
for the principal, who should have
such training as is provided by the
agricultural school at St. Anthony
Park.
One of the agricultural high school
graduates should be employed to teach
home economics. These, with two or
three assistants for the lower grades,
could organize a most effective school.
Farmers will come to realize that
the ten acres of land, the school build
ings and other improvements will
have lasting effect. They will soon
find that the slight increase in the
cost of running these schools will
prove better and safer investment to
the credit of their children than the
amount accumulated to be divided
among them when they reach their
majorities and 60 out into the world
to shift for themselves.
The chances are, too, that the small
extra cost of these schools will not be

Horse Injuries f.. X. Evens

On Saturday night an obstreperons

engaged in extricating the animal
from its position, had his foot trod-

bruised that he is obliged to go about

his leg would surely have been frac-

die West. who have raised corn on the
same ground for twenty or thirty
years, as is the case in many counties,
are finding their land running out in
the same way.
The trouble is that farmers are
ambitious to raise big crops of one
kind. They do not stop to figure
whether it is profitable or not, but
blindly follow in the footsteps of their
forefathers and go on farming in the
one-crop way until they farm them
selves out of land and home.
No land can stand this sort of
thing forever, and the wise farmer is
learning that he cannot take every
thing from the soil, put nothing back
and hope to raise good crops. The
ideal farming community is one in
which the lands are divided into small
plats, or one titled to the highest state
OF perfection to grow every kind of
crop. The farmer who raises wheat.

buys other farm products for the sup

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

~ - u
MisssssCraYens, a !. product. of...4the
Princeton schools, now a teacher in
the Rochester schools, was an inter-
ested visitor on Tuesday last.
The citizens of Princeton are cor
daily invited to visit the sessions of
the summer school. Drop in. You
may find something interesting as we'll
as instructive.
The keynote of the work in the
school is: ''Find the essentials of a
subject; master these. Upon the es-
sentials as foundation build your
superstructure.
Mrs. Cooney is doing some effective
work in music. Forty minutes a day
are devoted to this work. A part of
each recitation is devoted to, the
technical part of music and part to
chorus work.
The summer school has enrolled
sixty-fve students. The work of the
student teachers is particularly salts
factory to those in charge. There are
no drones: all working earnestly and
enthusiastically.
The weather is bit warm and the
excessive heat of Saturday and Mon
day was not conducive to close appli-
cation. However, the students are
thoroughly aroused and interested in
their work and kept at it in spite of
the heat.
The class in United States history
has been making careful study of
the colonial period. During the re-
mainder of the term the class will de-
vote itself to the constitutional period
for week and to the slave period for
a week. This subject has been receiv-
ing especial attention owing to the fact
that in the last examination more
than half of those taking the examin-
alton failed.
The most remarkable thing about
the summer school is the attendance.
Mile Laos county has but thirty three
school districts and has enrolled
sixty-five students in it's summer
school. Kanabec and Pine counties
with forty-five and sixty-one districts
respectively have united and are hold
ing school at Mora, the enrolment
there being forty-fve, while Isanti
county with ffty-six districts hold
ing summer school at Cambridge,
has enrolled twenty four This is not
accidental, but due to the efficient sup
ervision of County Superintendent
Ewing. He keeps in close touch with
school matters, is enthusiastic in his
efforts to strengthen the schools of the
county and insistent that the teachers
take advantage of every opportunity
to better fit themselves for the import
ant work they are called to do.

Paul, arrived Tuesday evening from
Cambridge, Mimi, where she has been

Did Not Commit Suicide.

Peter Sehlin of Opstead writes us
that the report published generally
throughout the northwest attributing
the death of Andrew Sehlin to suicide
was erroneous the occurrence
was purely accidental. The transom
in the room where he expired was
open, the cracks and crevices were not
stuffed with clothes as reported, and
there were many other circumstances
OF positive proof, says our informant,
that the death was not one of suicide

Several cases of Paris green poison

Suggested Relief Plan Illegal.

The plan suggested by the people of
Aitkin that the flood sufferers in
northern Minnesota be given work on
the roads and paid from the road and
bridge fund appears to be in direct
violation of law. The law specific
ally states that the county treasurer
shall pay no warrant issued by the
county auditor unless there is money
in the particular fund to pay it. The
county commissioners may order work
done, and the county auditor may
issue his warrants, but the county
treasurer is not allowed to pay them
until there is money in the road and
bridge fund. The law provides that
in such cases the warrants issued
by the county auditor shall be listed
and paid according to order in which
the names appear onAthe list.

Odd Fellows Install Officers.

The semi-annual installation cere-
monies of the local lodge of Odd Eel
lows were conducted on Friday even
ing, when the following members took
the oath of obligations:
Robert Fl. King, noble grand; o.
valid King, vice grand; John Boman,
recording secretary. One of the fea-
lures of the meeting was the Initiation
OF j. G. Elmquist of this place, and
the night was just hot enough to make
the ceremony interesting especially
to the candidate.

felt. In fact he predicts that if any
county will inaugurate this scheme it
will find that the increased prosperity
brought to it on that account will
more than pay for the added cost of
running the schools.
In few years under such system
of education the first cost of equip
ment would more than offset by bet
ter crops and more profits from live
stock products. A live teacher of
agriculture in every neighborhood
would help to plan the farms better,
to secure better seeds and more profit
able live stock.
A teacher of home economics, in like
manner would help bring about better
cooking of the plain everyday foods,
better plans for serving meals, better
clothing, better use Of money in furn-
ishing and decorating the farm homes
and better methods of doing the every
day routine work of the home.
The two teachers will educate the
boys and girls to develop a conven-
lent and beautiful farm, with groves.
orchards, gardens, buildings, lawns
and other Improvements so arranged
that the farm and home work will be
easier, and the home life more fully
developed.
If the school farm is cut into two
portions, five acres for campus and
five acres for field crops, the teacher
of agriculture will have most Won
derful laboratory in which to teach of
trees, fruits, vegetables, and field
crops. He can show every boy and
girl how to do the common kinds of
work in the best possible manner. He
can be in constant touch with state
and national experimenters, and on
the school farm can introduce into the
neighborhood newly bred fruits and
crops.
The course of study in these farm
schools may be ten instead of eight
years, thus putting two years of high
school work where the farm boys and
girls can secure it while under the
care of their parents. Then the ex-
pense of attending such a splendid
agricultural high school as is already
provided at St. Anthony Park and
as will soon be available at Crook
ston will not be very great and a
greater number than ever of those
who are to farm and manage farm
homes can secure high school
course.
This system of country life educa-
ton so auspiciously started in Min
nesota is interesting people in other
states. DR.. Wallace Buttric, secre-
tary of the general educational board.
recently visited the school at St.
Anthony Park that he might get bet
ter acquainted with the Minnesota sys-
tenn of educating the sons and daugh-
tiers of farmers.
1 recently addressed the State
teachers association in Alabama,
also the farmers institute workers in
Ohio, and found them expressing
great faith in the plan to carry the
work of the agricultural colleges into
secondary and lower schools for
farmers.
It is only question of development
till the State will support half dozen
or more agricultural high schools
with fine equipment. Just as the free
| delivery of mails was extended from
city to country SO technical education
for city professions will have it's
counterpart in education for country
| life.

BOncho Tricked Them.

On Sunday two young people from
town repaired to Blue lake in a con-
veyance drawn by broncho and an
ordinary everyday horse hitched side
by side. While at the lake the
broncho, by some means or other,
got away from them and remained
away despite the efforts of a goodly
number of people to capture it. A
chase of an hour Or two didn't seem
to tire the broncho a bit,-it really
appeared to give it renewed energy
and when it was at last rounded up
on the shore it displayed it's astute-
ness by wading into the lake. Still
being pursued by the crowd it at last
commenced to swim, and that settled
it so far as capture was concerned.
Left with but one horse to return
home the young people were placed in
somewhat of a dilemma, but at last
the situation was ameliorated by the
protfer of another party to take them
to Princeton in their rig. It was then
that the ordinary everyday horse was
tethered to the back Of this rig and a
start for home made. But the O. e.
horse rebelled, refused to follow, rem
dered asunder it's tether and dashed
away. On Monday party was dis
patched to the lake with lariats and
other horsecatching paraphernalia to
bring the offenders back.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the IN
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

water Is added, then cook and stir with

Take care that the soap does not boil

then pour into mods to harden. When
hard take out and pack where it will
