FOldahl.

April Is: All spring work had to
stop eight days ago on account OF
the unusually cold weather that has
continued during the past week.
The ground is in most excellent
condition, and it only requires
milder weather in order that the
seeding may proceed.
The new regulations in regard to
transportation of mail between
Argyle and Newfolden causes many
inconveniences, especially for US
here in Foldahl. If we want to
send letter to Argyle or points
west, it is first sent east and round
about to Crookston. It is said that
this circuitous route requires four
days. The Argyle Banner will not
reach us until 4 or 5 days after it is
mailed, and it will be the same case
with the SHEAF. Foldahl postofflce
will be almost wiped out as far as
receipts is concerned, as everybody
who wishes to send letter to
Argyle will do so by private car.
rier, Or some other way. To take
four days for sending a letter but
ten miles away is certainly not
much 'up-to-date. "
The health of our people has been
excellent during the past winter.
There were a few cases of colds and
grippe this spring, but no deaths
can be traced to this cause.
Ole Johnson, one of our nearest
neighbors in town or Alma, passed
from us to the great unknown dur
ing the winter. He came from
Sweden about 20 years ago and
settled on quarter section of land
in Alma, which no one else dared to
tackle, as it consisted mostly of
sloughs and brush. But Ole
worked and improved this piece of
land and made it one of the finest
farms in Alma. And when he died
he owned quite snug sum of
money besides the farm. He was
of benefit to himself and others.

.
Jacob Burkett, of Nebraska, will be
sworn in on the 4th of March as a SEN
ator from that state as the successor
of Senator Dietrich. Mr.. Burkett was
born December L, 1867. This makes
him about four years younger than Mr.
Bailey and about five years younger
than Mr.. Beveridge, of Indiana, who
has been close second to Bailey for
the distinction of being the most youth
full member of the senate
All three of these young men might
pass for having fewer years than they
can lay claim to. Mr.. Beveridge un-
doubtedly is at the present time the
most youthful looking man in the SEN
ate. He is of rather fair complexion,
with dark brown hair, smooth face, and
is boyish in his manner and in his feel
ings. Although Mr.. Bailey is a year his
Junior, the Texan has a dignified bear
ing and thoughtful expression that
adds to his age, although his face is
smooth and as red-cheeked as a boy
of 18. His deliberate manner and
thoughtful expression are those of a
man well on in middle life. He, how
ever, was born on October 6, 1863, while
Mr.. Beveridge was born on the same
day in 1862.
Mr.. Burkett would easily be taken
for Mr.. Beveridge's senior. He has a
rather heavy, dignified appearance and
is very formal in his address. He rep
resents the possibilities of the Amer
ican boy. and his biography shows that

the middle aisle. Since the death Of
President Mckinley, which put Theo-
dore Roosevelt at the head of the gov
ernment, Mr.. Frye has continuously
presided over the senate as it's presi-
dent pro tenn. He will doubtless con-
tinue to enjoy that honor and fill the
presiding officers chair when Vice
President Fairbanks is away, but the
Indiana senator, as vice president, will
WELD the gavel by right of his Office.
1t is regarded as fortunate that a men,
Der Of the senate succeeds to the vice
presidency.
Mr.. Frye will be welcomed back on
the floor of the senate, where he long
ago earned distinction as one of the
strong debaters in that body. He has
been at the head of the senate com
mittee on commerce for many years,
and on all measures that come from
that committee he is an authority and
his speeches are always informative and
instructive. He has at his fingers tips
all sorts of information on river and
harbor improvements, as for many years
he has virtually made those appropria-
ton bills that pertain to this work. A
few years ago while debating one of
the provisions of river and harbor
bill tho senate was startled by the IA
cility with which Mr.. Frye reeled Off
figures, percentages and estimates in a
seemingly beWildering tangle. Motto
ing the curious looks of his colleagues
as he would recapitulate column of
figures running into the hundreds of
millions, he smilingly explained that

Correspondence
FROM THE COUNTY
Ingalls,.

April II: Well, we think that
last week was a weather record
breaker as it was very cold, and
the ground froze hard the whole
week, never thawed out for 8 days.
The wind came down from that
warm country, Canada, the whole
time. Talk of it being warmer 500
or 600 miles northwest of here than
it is here. It makes us smile to
think that some people will talk
that way.
All are anxious to begin seeding
and just as soon as the ground is
thawed out enough it will be in fine
shape to work as it is now dry. If
no rains come the people can hustle
the crop in in good shape.
Two young men passed here on
their way to Newfolden with stock
and farm utensils; they will 90, by
rail from Newfolden to somewhere
in Canada. They left here this
morning for Thief Lake for the rest
OF their goods. They expect to take
the train next Thursday, on the
500, for their new homes up in that
warm country.
Godfred Anderson is busy build
ing house on the river bank, north
Of here. Many think he will soon
have house-keeper. Well, good
luck to him, either way, but we
hardly think he will batch it much,
even if he has a new house.
Mr.. Volden is trying to rent his
farm so they can go to Canada; he
was there early this spring and
took a homestead for himself, and
his sons, Richard and Ole, and they
are all anxious to go as soon as pos
ible. There are several others who
are anxious to go and perhaps will
after seeding.
There was a poor unfortunate
here yesterday with subscription
to get money to go back to the Old
Country. He has been in this
country one year and had the Rheu-
matism so bad that he had lost the
use Of one arm. He had long list
of names most of them having do
mated % cents each. We hope he
will succeed as we could not help
but pity the man.

compared with the tremendous circula-
ton he gives to the publications issued
from his department. He has aimed to
make the department an educational,
institution on all subjects, scientific and,
practical, that deal with agriculture.
During the last fiscal year this de-
partment issued 972 separate bulletins,
a big increase over the year before, and.
they comprised nearly $4,000 printed
pages. The total number of copies Of
all publications sent out during the
year was 12.421,3S6 In five years the
publication work of this department has
been doubled. In recent years the re-

have greatly increased, with normali

fully justified, as it advances the edu-

There is every prospect that these re-.

increase in the future. The burdens

that, too, is regarded as amply justi-

We note the preliminary arrange

the erection of hospital. The
action is commendable one and
ought to be received with favor, not
only by the people of Warren but
by the country as we'll, as such an
institution is surely necessary.
There is also another thing which
the good people Of Warren should
take hand in, and that is an edu-
cational institution where the young
people about the country could get
a practical business education and
possibly better knowledge in the
common branches also. Every year
a number of young people of this
county go away to attend business
colleges, and why could there not
be such an institution at home so
there would be no need of going
long distances. There would also
be a much larger number attending
if there was home institution of
this kind. If such an institution is
formed on the right plan we see no
reason why it should not be sue
cess if undertaken, and be profta-
BILE both to Warren and the county.

themselves to distinguish the differ

the similarity of the papers shows that

have in common. the school. has had
much 10 do with molding their moral
ideas"
Commenting on the results of the eX-
animation for which those who were
tested had received no special prepare
ton, DR. Peabody said that while it
was not to be concluded that all those
boys and girls who do always as well
as they knew in moral conduct. it was
not to be disputed. he believed, that
their answers would strengthen the
conviction that the moral instruction
of our schools is of positive and great
value. and that those who call them
Goddess schools and breeding places of
non-moral and immoral conduct do not
know whereof they speak
He declared that the public school
is a great ally OF the church in the
teaching of morals. which will be made
more powerful through the widespread
movement among educators to make
instruction in morals more nearly com
plete in the schools. and he urged the
hearty cooperation between the church
and the school to this end. He said
that he heartily agreed with the YER
dict of Secretary Martin of the Massa-
chusettS board of education. who, after
inquiry into the moral training of the
pupils in the public schools OF that
state. said that they have a stock OF
moral ideas sufficient, if put in practice

But, he concluded, the church mus

ality with the motives and the sane
tions of religion. Religions is 10 morals
what the root is 10 the tree; il puts
vigor and motive power into moral
ideas. Hence, the school must fail IN

questions for submission to the three

ford as follows
