The trade territory of a town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the
enterprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If town
does not reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and
will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants 60 after business in
the surrounding country, advertising
in every possible way, and making
good every word of..their advertising,
trade will come from an ever increas-
ing radius, the town will gain a re-
putation for being awake and it will
forge to the front. 1t is the men in
the town and not the men living
within certain number of miles
from it that make the town. Fer

Bulletin No. 96 of the Minnesota

Bulletin No. 96 of the Minnesota
Agricultural Station, treats of the
ornamental trees, shrubs an herba-
ceous plants that may be grown in
the state. While it is true that% our
climate is too severe for many of the
tender plants that may be grown far
ther south yet it is surprising what
long list of hardy ornamental trees
and shrubs may be grown here sue
cessfully. AS the country gets older
and the people more prosperous, more
attention will be paid to ornamental
planting and development of home
grounds and parks. It is well to
know that there is a wealth of mater
ial with which to do it, and that our
home surroundings can be made as
beautiful as if located in a more
southern Climate, only we know how
to make them so. e

Mysterious Problems in Nature Which
Have Wrecked Many Minds.

A scientist who has been travelling
In Africa in search of an answer to
some questions concerning rainfall
gives as his opinion that the ex-
preston of imperturbable calm on
the face Of the Sphinx arises from the
fact that she has never tried to find
the answers to the riddles of nature,
which have sent many men to their
graves. .'>.
What is gravity? is one of them.
Hundreds of men have gone insane
trying to answer it. says the Chicago
Chronicle. Some, in fact, have gone
50 far as to try to disprove the theory
entirely. An English naval captain
wrote book on this subject and sent
it to ell the learned societies in Eu-
rope. ..s -
Why cannot force be created by hui
man power? Trying to accomplish
this has fastened the end of many
worthy man. Perpetual motion will
be an accomplished fact if we can dis
cover how force is made. Kelley,
with his motor, who claimed to have
discovered perpetual motion, was a
swindler, whose death revealed his
ingenious counterfeit of perpetual mo-
ton. If this discovery could be made
it would revolutionize the world.
What source of heat supply has the
planet Mars? This is another riddle.
Our earth gets much more heat from
the sun than does Mars, yet that
planet has a beautifully mild climate.
Astronomers have watched the ice
cap $thawing on Mars, and they have
proved that water flows and clouds
rise. This shows that Mars has heat.
But If not supplied by the sun, from
what source does it Gomez? rE.-. !
"a Where the tide is born is an
other of natures secrets. On the is
land of Papete, in the southern Pa
"cific, there is every Gay at II midday
and two in the afternoon high tide.
Why, no one is able to explain. A
scientist has been able to turn gold
into silver, but no one SO far has
been able to make a magnet which
will attract gold. Could this be ac-
complished it's enormous value could
scarcely be realized, for it would
make it possible to work rock from
: which no known process has been
able to attract gold in paying guam

Total S7O4, l46. OF

The conference held in Crookston
on Monday and Tuesday this week
for the purpose of discussing ways
and means to promote the growth
and development of the Red River
Valley, was most important
gathering and ought to be pro-
ductive of much good. Nearly all
the leading towns on both the
Minnesota and Dakota sides had
their representatives there. This
is really the first concerted move
ment of the people in the valley
looking toward the further develop
ment OF the valley. Much has been
done. in this line by individual
towns as well by private persons,
but the work has been spasmodic
and half hearted, and not pro-,
ductive of the best results. The
people who have settled here are
just beginning to realize what
grand country this is, and what
bountiful riches are stored in the
fertile soil. It is we'll to see farmers
and business men alike interested
in this subject and working hand
in hand for their mutual betterment.
Farming is the only wealth pro-
ducing industry in this valley. and
the success of every other business
depends upon the prosperity of the
farmers. The keynote of all the
speeches at the banquet was that a
new epoch in|theIhistory of Red River
Valley farming had arrived. A
change from the all wheat" system
to diversified farming has begun
and is we'll under way in many of
the counties. The creamery idea
is taking hold with wonderful
rapidity, and more attention is paid
to the production of beef, mutton,
pork, poultry and eggs. It was
stated at the banquet that the
creameries of Red Lake county had
paid out during the. present
summer on an average 1925, 900
per month to the farmers of the
county. That's a..good deal of money
and comes from an industry
that was unknown in the count Y a
few years ago. Such method of
farming means smaller and, better
titled farms. What 4- this valley
needs most of all when this change
goes into effect is more people
to fill in the gaps, more practical
farmers, who will join with those
who are already here to develop our
latent resources and share in our
prosperity. A denser population
means better schools, better
churches, better towns, better roads
and more of all the blessings and
conveniences of a high state of civil
ization. If the suggestions thrown
out by this conference are acted up
on and not allowed to remain idle
talk, then we are confident that the
Red River valley will see such de-
velopment during the next few
years as shall pale into insignif-
canoe any former like period in it's
history.
