only ten were able to pass the examina-
tions for high school entrance. Eleven
failed entirely. Out OF this eleven. ten
were cigarette iends. OF the ten who
passed, four have left town, two are
learning trades, one graduates tonight,
and the remainder graduated some Years
ago, taking the cigarette course.
This same story is repeated year
after year with slight variations. The
boys do not quit school SO much now-a-

MILK RIVER VALLEY.
The interior Department il Making
Preparations for Irrigationg
This Famous Valley.

Montana is coming in for big
share of the general prosperity of the
country, and it will only be a few
short years when she will rank with
any of the Northwestern states in
agricultural greatness. The recent
act of the interior department Of
the United States in setting aside
81 100000 toward retaining three or
four hundred thousand acres i'm the
Milk River valley is but a beginning
of a much vaster development of this
section as the needs grow apace. Al
ready the agricultural worth of this
to-be-famous valley has been ade-
quately demonstrated in the results
which have followed the irrigation
works already established. It has
been successfully proven that all
kinds of agricultural products grow
in great abundance wherever irriga-
ton is used. The soil is naturally
rich and needs only moisture to make
it yield prolifically. The Great North
ern Railway furnishes adequate
transportation facilities, it's main. line
practically cutting the valley in two.
The fact th1t the government has de-
cided to begin immediate operations
will prove q great incentive to the
people of that section who have al
ways believed in the future of their
country and will open to settlement
a vast area of rich land to the home
seeker and investor.

Win the Debate.

Breckenridge (Minn.) high school,
represented by team of three de-
baters, last evening won the final
contest in the state school debating
league, defeating the Albert Lea high
school in one of the best contests
ever held in the university chapel.
Libbie Eckhard, Louis Paul and
Flora Lester were the girls who
composed the winning team. They
were opposed by f. w. Hayes, Mar
garet Lampert and Henry Swanson
for Albert Lea, the latter team hav-
ing the affirmative side of the ques-
ton, "Resolved, That the policy OF
reducing further immigration to the
United States to minimum IS prac-
ticaole and should be adopted"
The quality of the debate was re-
markably good. Throughout scarce
" a person in the immense audience
ventured to predict which side would
win.

AFRICAN HOSPITALITY.
Considered the Duty of Every Citizen
to Entertain Strangers With
out Compensation.

Hospitality may be considered a.
one of the characteristics of not only
the Veis, but of the whole African race.
It is considered the duty of every citi-
zen to entertain strangers without the
smallest compensation, writes the au~
thor of "Africa's Appeal to Christen.
DOM" in Century. Places Of rest stand
always open, and when these are found
occupied by strangers, a man goes and
tells his wife, who will send her serv-
ants with water for the strangers, to
wash their feet; for. as they wear no
shoes, they naturally need such ac-
commodation. Afterward rooms and
cloth wrappers are given them, food is
brought from all quarters, or they are
invited to eat with the people. They
continue to be so provided for, even
if they stay months. Their garments
are also washed and returned to them.
On leaving, they generally make. q
small gift to the wife Of the host,
though not more than two or three
cola nuta or two or three English PEN

Philippine Population.

The total population of the archi-
pelago as returned from 342 indie
pendent islands is 7,635,426. OF this
number almost seven million are
more or less civilized. The wild
tlibes form about per cent Of the
entire population. The civilized
tribes are practically all adherents
Of the Catholic church. The Moros
are Mohammedans, and the other
wild peoples have no recognized re-
ligious beliefs.
g. The total population, according to
the most reliable authorities, is a
little more than four times as great
as it was 100 years ago. During tho
same period that of the United
States multiplied almost fifteen
times. The excess of birth rate over
death rate in the Philippines has
been large, in spite of sudden and
great losses as a result of epidemics
of various diseases.

or, II ever in your travels 1t Is your good
luck to 90

winds that softly blow.
And the hooking bird is singing, swinging

That's the land I'm always loving. low

Where each fresh recurring season brings
new blossoms in its train,
Where the sunshine is like nectar and
there's glory in the rain,
Where pink roses shed their petals whle
the bushes bloom again.
That's the land I'm always loving, low
ing SO!
Where blue violcts are hiding meath the
leaves the year around.
And each prospect is like music ana the
air is sweet with sound,
And forgetmenots are smuggling, wee blue

Ing so!
Oh, you cannot help but know It! Its
each voice will bid YOU stay!
You will know it by the sweetness OF Its
every night and day!
You will know it by its memory when you

THAT said l, is considered an adj

as an accurate representation of the bat
tie of Lake Erie. That battle, as you will
of course recall, took place getween the
American and British fleets during the
war of 1912 between Great Britain and
the United States. And If any fleet on
salt or fresh water was ever ker-soaked,
smothered, jolted, hammered, torn in
two, ripped up the back, hamstrung,
keel-hauled, butchered to make Roman
holiday, and knocked into eighteen hun
dred and twelve different kinds of junk
and kindling wood, it was the lime
juicer British fleet on that occasion,
when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry
put it on and all over them! .+s
