THE EVENING TIMES. GRAND FORKS, N. D,

OF one firm in our city for the opening
OF September term, 1906, over $4,000
sheets OF practice paper; liza stenog-
rapher's note books; a large quantity
OF pens. penholders, pencils, erasers,
biotters, Ink and muscilage, we be-
gin to realize something of the vast
amount OF drill students must get here.
These gentlemen have the latest bust
ness methods and are strict discip-
Librarians.
Students are required to do their al
lotted work or give a satisfactory ex-
cuse or leave the school. No drones
or persons Of questionable character
are permitted to remain long.
The North Western Business college.
under the management of Prof. SVEN
gal. has done excellent work. 1t is
one of the Oldest schools in this line
OF work In the city and is too we'll
known to need further comment.
There are many private schools
where vocal and instrumental music
are successfully taught.
The Young Mems and Young Wo-
mems Christian associations are doing
much for the young people of the city
In an educational way, of a highly
commendable nature.
The lecture courses last season cost
over 10000. They have arranged for
the following excellent entertainment
course:

This entire course of six numbers
may be had for $500. These entertain
ments will be given in the opera house.
and are always largely attended by the
citizens of Grand Forks.
In addition to the above educational
advantages the Wesleyan college will
expend from 100000 to 5000, 900 in
buildings within the next year to be
located near the university. For the
present they have opened a conserva-
tory Of music in Grand Forks and are
being we'll patronized by lovers of the
best in music.
The numerous churches furnish ex-
ceptional advantages for moral train
Ing and the high class entertainments
given at the opera house are equal to
those In the largest cities.
Wi AuAICAOuS News SLduuS carry 4
full line of the latest periodicals.; our
$4,000 city library in charge of Miss
e. Abbott has most excellent assort-
ment of the best books and periodicals
so that young people coming to our city
to attend school may also have free
access to the best books obtainable and
to the best social environments.
Rooms and board may be had in pri-
waite families by those who do not wish
to board at public houses.
Parents throughout the state wishing
to send their children away for better
educational advantages would do we'll

FALL FLOWING FOR CORN.
There are some of our readers "

There are some of our readers who
still maintain that spring blowing is
best for crop of corn. The expert
ence of many growers during the past
wet years would substantiate such an
opinion. but on gen -ral principles fall
blowing gives much better and more
certain crops of corn than spring
plowed fields. This has been demon
strated again and again by the most
successful growers in the northwest.
In fact, We believe almost ideal con-
ditions of soil for corn are secured
when the ground is plowed very early
in the fall, say August 1, and again
plowed more deeply just before freez-
Ing weather sets in for the winter
The early shallow blowing will cover
and thus terminate many weed seeds
which would lie dormant on the sur
face or in the firmly packed soil until
spring. Again, early blowing is quite
sure to destroy or greatly in1ure the
artfchoke, morning-glory, and other
troublesome perennial roots that ma.
infest the soil. Moisture is always
better retained on plowed fields than
1t is on stubble lands. Cut worms
rarely ever appear to damage a crop
on fields that have been plowed and
thus cleaned from litter before the
parent miller deposits eggs for the
spring hatch.
Judging from some demonstration
work we have had done on one of our
farms during the past two or three
years we are satisfied that it pays
well to pillow the rich, weedy bottom
lands twice during the fall for a crop
of corn, and. in fact, for any of the

st. Bernard's academy is one of the
Oldest and best patronized institutions
In the city. Many of our best citizens
OF nearly all denominations patronize
the st. Bernard's academy. Moral
training receives the closest attention
here and this Is one of the features
that makes 1t very desirable institu-
tton In which to place our children. An
addition costing 100000 to $4,000 will
be completed within the next year to
accommodate the increasing attend
ance which is now nearing the two
hundred mark.
Besides the kindergarten, academic
and collegiate courses one may take
advanced work in almost any branch

Considerable attention is given to
drawing, music and other art work and
students receive very thorough instruc-

and slop pals in their hands carrying
drink to the stock where an open
trough or underground pipe would
conduct the same into the pens and
yards at a small expense and a great
saving of strength and time, which
means money, when help costs two
dollars per day-the prevailing price
for anything who wore trousers in the
field this summer-regardless of his
ability or willingness to do farm
work in an intelligent manner.
Many farmers say they cannot af-
ford to buy labor .aving machinery
when few additional implements
would save the expense of a hired man
during the entire summer. Horse DOW
er is much cheaper than men-use it
wherever and whenever it will save
the man. Gas engines are often cheap
er and more desirable as motor on
the farm than horses-use them to
grind feed, pump water, churn, wash,
etc. The expense Of such a power is
hardly worth mentioning when every
member of the family is worked early
and late to keep up with work that
must be done by hand, regardless of
the world of labor saving machinery
onw on the markets.

richly furnished.
There are many, many, changes in
our methods Of doing things which
might save us much work and worry.
Our heads, If properly used, will often
save the hands great deal of wear
and tear. Plan each days or weeks
work in advance. Study to save as
much manual labor as possible. Don't
be stingy in providing the home and
farm with labor saving implements
and conveniences. We owe these to
ourselves and the family. Make the
ouSdens OF lie easy and thus add
years of usefulness to our days in this
great busy world.
COMMERCIAL FEEDING STUFFS.
The writer Is occasionally in re-
ceipt of an inquiry as to whether
there Is Minnesota law pertaining
to the inspection of the commercial
feeding stuffs manufactured or sold
in the state. The Penal Code pro-
vides that the sale of any article as
food or drink for man or beast as
pure and unadulterated, which is not
pure and is adulterated, is INSIDE
meanor punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment. This law would be quite
sufficient If there were means pro-
vided for its enforcement. Food and
drink for man is looked after by spe-
cial laws which ar4 enforced by the
dairy and food commissioner of the
state. but the provisions Of the penal
code can not be applied to commercial

OVER DYING MAN.
Doctors Fight to Secure Possession Of
Man Fatally Shot


Associated Press to The Evening 11me..
New York, Nov. 3.-While a man Law
dying in an ambulance in Pell street,
in the Chinese quarter, with three bull
let wounds in his back, surgeons strug-
gled to secure possession of the
wounded man. Several of the dying
mans friends took hand in the affair
and when the ambulance started away
one seized the wounded man and
dragged him nearly out Of the vehicle.
Policemen scattered the crowd which
had gathered and directed the removal
OF the wounded man to a hospital
without an instant's delay.
The man who was wounded was
known in Chinatown as Gus Marcella.
He refused to give the police his ad
dress and declared that he would not
give the name Of his assailant until
he was satisfied that he was going
to die.

Dont iced all the buttermilk to the

the table. There are few people who
do not like buttermilk when they can
get it fresh from the churn, If the
milk has not been allowed to get too
sour before churned. Buttermilk is
healthful. invigorating, good for d.
gestion, and, 1t is claimed, will re-
duce unnecessary flesh. There is moth

on a warm day as a drink of cold
buttermilk. 1t is in great demand in
city restaurants, and, strange to say
Is on sale in most of the saloons.
IN some restaurants when a glass
OF buttermilk is Offered they add a
little sweet cream and this makes a
most delicious drink. 1t should be on
the table Of every farmer who makes
butter and the children should be
taught to drink it.
Every housewife knows, or should
know, the value of fresh buttermilk
IN making pancakes, biscuits, ginger
bread and many kinds of cake. It
can also save much work in the clean
ing of silver. Let the articles lie IN a
pan OF buttermilk for an hour or two
and then wash in hot water and dry
quickly and thoroughly. It also
makes good wash for the face and
