The power company controlling
Koochiching falls is owned by a COM
pany, of which E. W. Backus Of Mime
apolis is president, and with him are
associated the tBackus-Brooks company

east. just as soon as the great power of
the Rainy can be harnessed, they will
invest 100000 in great paper and
pulp plant, another $1,OOO,OOO in saw
mills and other manufactures. There
will be flour mills, elevators and wood

will be thousands of men engaged in

NEW SHOES EVERY DAY.
Great Idea Of an Extravagant Mother
for Doing Away with
Cleaning.

In his article on THE Shameful Mis-,

cess Magazine, Cleveland Moffett has
this to say of an eytravagant mother
whose little boy wore white kid
shoes:
The case of a child without shoes
Or stockings reminds me of a story
from Chicago, an absolutely true story.
as I happen to know. of a woman
there, the daughter of one of the
richest men in the world. She al
ways has her little boy wear white kid
shoes, and, owing to the smoke of the
city and the bad condition of the
streets. she has had trouble in keeping
them clean. One day she met another
mother who was also perplexed by
the shoe-cleaning problem, and she
said. with naive enthusiasm. as II
she had made great discovery: You
know, l have solved that whole diff
Guilty. l don't send little Johnnie's
shoes to the cleaners at all, any more.

time, and let him wear a new pair

TIE SOUTHERN RENTER
4 Negro Renter Airs His Views on
the All Cotton and Rent
Questions.

In reference to Mr. Minis letter in
February issue in which he censures
the pegro renters and claim them
large:y instrumental in bringing about
the conditions of affairs in our cotton
marAA.
Mr., Minis also asserts that the ne
gro renters will be the hardest ele-
ment 70 control in the proposed reduc-
ton. l am one of the race above men
toned
I write this in our defense and to
show reasons why (if we are the hard
est elements). First, l will say here
in our beautiful southland, there are
certain restrictions put upon renters
by the landowner that necessitates his
planting as he does. Second. This
merchant places similar restrictions
put upon him by the landowner is this:
You pay me so many bales of cotton
for rent; not so many bales of hay or
so much wheat. or so much oats, or so
much corn, etc, but Cotton" The
merchant comes now and the first
question he puts, is how many bales
OF cotton do you expect to make and
ship me. I'll limit your supplies ac-
cording to the number of bales you ex-
pect to ship. never mentioning the oat,
hay. wheat and corn
Now you see we in a measure are
compelled to plant extensively to meet
all Of this pay-me-cotton, pressure.
In conclusion will say, we in a
measure are waiting and praying for
our superior race to make some
changes as in my weak and humble
opinion some changes are requisite.
Some of us, and almost persuaded to
say all, would be more than glad to d.
versify and be allowed to pay our rents
in our diversified crops l will come
again, possibly, with a few more re-
strictions, if this escapes the waste
basket.
Will you kindly tell me how on
earth could we handle oats, wheat, etc.,
II we were to raise it here, as we never
see a machine of any kind in this
country for threshing or grinding such
stuff? No, not even a hay press.

cure such machine cheap that will do

troll in this race Of self-protection. !

Mf.matched Teams.

Mismatched teams work at disad-
vantage, and add greatly to wear and
tear. 1t is not meant to refer to color
or age so much as to strength, ability
and willingness to pull. If one of a
team is larger and stronger. than the
other it will have to bear the greater
part of the burden, and if one is foster
in the gait at which the work is to be
done he works at a disadvantage and
is needlessly worn down. Farmers. as
a rule, select their teams with a view
to this, but we have often seen this
totally neglected when small, light
mule is hitched behind a large horse,
and again sometimes it is a fast
walking horse pulling all the load and
fretting, while the sluggish mate only
adds to the weight 10 be moved. It
adds greatly to the pleasure Of driving
when the team balances. Try it. II
you have not given it attention.

1t is natural when there is wrong.
every man seeks to justify himself and
that may be the case with me now, but

don't feel responsible for the low
price of cotton, for If the farmers in

have, | never would have had to sell
my cotton for less than ~ cents.
will give short sketch of it and ask
you what you think. have made q
crops; started with five cents and lost
it, but after the first crop have never
known what it meant to buy meat or
corn and in the last fifteen years | have
raised meat enough to run almost

some corn to sell. But for fear some
one will say they can't raise meat for
the glory. l will say that l have lost
near half the hogs have raised for
ten years. have no swamp to raise
them in, no pasture, only wiregrass
and but little Of that. raise them on
corn, potatoes and pinders. have also
raised enough strip to run my own
farm and another as large. will run
six plows this year and could furnish
them with rations if they had none.
Most OF them have almost enough but
some one else will want it. will give
you the description of my crop. First,
80 acres in oats; 20 of that stumped
and we'll cottonseeded, and aim to put
in hay; second. 100 acres in corn with
pinders and velvet means in middle.
Third. 80 acres in cotton. Fourth &
acres Spanish ground peas planted in
April for early hog feed; 4 acres in DO
tatoes, 2 acres in sugar cane. and Z
acres in peas for early hay. That is
about the way my farm will be plant
ed with not more than 90 tons of
guano. Look over this and if you think
l am to blame for the overproduction
OF cotton say so. Now, want to de-
scribe the man that is to blame for
the low price of cotton-tlle man with |
not quite enough corn buys a little |
bread, feeds his mules three months on
green stuffs and hogs ON weeds, if he
has any (hogs), and gets no milk |
through winter because he can't feed
his cows. Not enough strip for his |
children. Potatoes give out before |
they come, and he needs no borax-
his meat is out before the bugs can
come. To make long story short, al
ways buying little Of everything and |
has nothing to sell but cotton. Let the |
farmers change that. Have little
