Reflections.

Arbor Day was fttingly observed
by the pupils rendering suitable
program and by, cleaning the yard
at recess. The trees, plants and
shrubs we set a year ago are thriv-
ing and we added few more this
year besides the boys spaded a gen
crous bed for ANNALS.
The box elders set by the director
a year ago are doing well and he
generously added 10 evergreens
this year. We feel a start at least
has been made in the right direction.
George Cox and Oracle and Nell
lie Dodge have the thanks Of the
school for the great number of but
tercups that brought sunshine into
our schoolroom April 81.
The attendance and punctuality
have been, excellent.
Edward Engle has removed from
Oneida, we hope the little fellow
may find kindly care wherever he
may be.
Selma and Harry Lubben were at
Earlville the last part of the past

Protests Her Innocence.


Mandan Republican: Mrs. Rose
Reinke, the woman who is held at the
county Jail on a charge Of adultery
committed at New Salem and who is
also accused Of killing her baby, was
confronted with the latter charge by
the Oliver county people the first of
the week, but protests her innocence
and says that the grandmother had
the child at the time Of its death. The
child was only four months old, and
the parent had made the long trip Of
eighteen miles from New Salem to
their home that day with the baby
and its death may have been due to
natural causes. 1t was the unnatural
conduct Of the mother In clipping with
the hired man the day of the funeral
which had aroused the; ire OF the
neighboThood and pecially46f the
people Of New Salem, where they put

Got More for Lying.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Court
opened on Thursday afternoon for the
sentencing of A1onzo E. Hoffman,
charged with stealing sixty bushels Of
fax from Carl Schultz last November,
an account of whose capture by Com
stable Dunlop has already been pub
lished in this paper some time ago.
He pleaded guilty but denied ever be-
ing in a penitentiary and persisted In
the statement despite the warning of
Judge Kneeshaw and the presence of
Sheriff Anderson in the courtroom.
Sheriff Anderson testified that he had
arrested him at st. Thomas in 1898
and that he was convicted in the court:
at Halloek for stealing a team and
wagon. and that he had taken him tor
the St Cloud penitentiary. The judge
then gave the sentence of three years
and six months in the state peniten-
tiary, and said that he had added a
year -anG three months for the lie.

The philosophy of society is that

by education and Christianity, all is
done that may be done to elevate the
race. y sz9s X! H. .g r..
mo clearly defined plan has as vet
been presented Of radically changing
the heredfty Of people, as is done
by variety of plants or species of
animals. The subject OF investigating
the heredity Of man is comparatively
much more difficult than in case Of
plants and animals. But it is so i'm.
portant that science and religion
should join in an Investigation, at
an investigation, at once conservative,
careful and possibly constructive"

FARMERS INSTITUTE
The ONE: TO BE HELD AT BIS
MARck, JUNE 42os21, WILL BE
FULL OF INTEREST TO AGRI-
.cuLTURIsTs, WHO SHOULD
MAKE 1T A POINT TO ATTEND.

In speaking of the Farmers insti-
tutes to be held in the western part of
the state next month, L. r. Waldpon,
superintendent Of the Dickinson ex
pertinent station, says: It. .
The word sinstitute'' has the same
sound to many farmers that the word
circus" has to small boy. He pricks
up his ears, opens his eyes and is all
attention. Such men will attend the
institute if they possibly can. They
know it's value and know that they
cannot afford to miss it. There are a
few farmers, however, who have never
formed the institute habit" and it is
these farmers that need stirring I'D.
It is proba BILE that they would put
forth a variety Of reasons for not at
tending. One would say that he was
already successful farmer. Another
would be confident that he. could
teach those book farmers 1.-THE
speakers) a thing or two about farm
ing, and another would plead lack of
time.
Assuming the above arguments to
be true, they have not yet out-argued
the merits of the institute. The mis-
sion of the institute is two-fold. It is
direct educational factor regarding
farm topics, and secondly, if the in
stitute is of any, value. it exerts a
very beneficial. Social influence upon
the farmers life. When the institute
is conducted properly, the farmer, in
Guiding of course his wife, has re-
ceived new impetus in life and his
ideal has been raised. Farming
ceases to be mere drugery and pleas
ure is obtained from work. There is
a saying, "The farmer is of more i'm
portance than the farm and should be
first improved" The institute aims
to improve the farmer and if the
farmer comes to the meetings with an
open mind and a glad heart towards
the speakers and towards his fellow
farmers, he cannot fail to be helped.
He will go home thinking there is no
vacation quite so good as that of the
farmer, and when he thinks that, he
has been helped. .~..,5s ~.
The agricultural press and the
farmers institute are two great
factors that are engaged directly in
raising the social and material life. of
the farmer Of today. They point out
new ideals towards which the ma
jority Of farmers are generously striv-
ing. 8. Il s$.2 .sa
The farmers who appreciate the in
stitutes has a duty to perform besides
merely attending. He is to consider
himself appointed as committee Of
one to get each one OF his neighhors
to attend, He should strive especial
Nv to Interest those who show the
least interest in the institute. He Is
to play the part OF the missionary.
This state lacks entirely that ex-
scellent institution, the Grange, which
#exerts SO beneaciens a social influence

Plan Being Formulated to Improve the
Human Race Famous Agricultural
Expert Sees an Important Lesson In
Plant and Animal Breeding.

Prot. Willett NJ. Hays of ST: Paul,
assistant secretary Of the department
Of agriculture, and at one time pro-
lessor in the Agricultural College at
Fargo, has appointed a committee of
scientists to Investigate heredity i1
man, with the idea Of encouraging the
multiplication Of good blood and dis
couraging the weaker and more vic
fouls blood IN human families, and in
other ways perfecting the H human
race. The work will be done by a
committee Of the American Breeders
association, which was organized by
Mr. Hays and of which he is the sec
rotary.
The same methods that have pro-
duced marvellous results In improving
plants and animals will be- studied
with regard to their application to the
human species. Mr.. Hays explains
that the commit tee referred to is only
one Of the number composed Of mem
beers of the breeders association and
that they are all engaged In inyesti-
cations Of the subjects Of heredity,
breeding and the natural evolution Of
species.
Discusses His Project.
he men who have had a large
and successful experience in the IN
Vestigation Of domestic plants and an
inals, said MI. Hays, generally be
S1ieve that the subject Of heredity ia
man should receive more serious sci
i entifc considerable ion While the gen
I eral laws of heredity IN plants, ami
\ mails and men are similar, the appli-
cation Of plans for improvement must
differ. The methods used In breeding
corn differ from those ii breeding
wheat, and still different methods are
used n originating improved varie-
ties of apples. Only d few principles
are being used ID animal ana plant
breeding, but there are many new
plans of erecting improvements Ia
animals, and especially In plants, By
breeding, and the value Of these plans
IS being abundantly proven By the
i Improvement in varieties and breeds
worth many millions of dollars.
The world has long improved its
plant and animal products. mainly BIZ
improving their food and other condi
