Prof. Arthur Epson, the popular
Teacher of English in the Univer-

the Tenth Avenue bridge over the
Mississippi in Minneapolis. He
was rescued by a man at the cleo

off the bridge. Prof. Epson had

Flax for Binder Irvine.

We are informed by representa-
tive Of the International Flax
Irvine Co., that it is their intention
to purchase flax this and future
years in the vicinity of River Falls
for the purpose of manufacturing
binder Irvine therefrom. This
Company buys the entire crop, both
seed and straw, as it is necessary
that the straw be kept straight at
all times threshed flax cannot, be
used. Flax for their purpose must
be cut with a self binder and all
bound, and at least IL inches long
from where cut to first limb near
top, and reasonably free from foul
matter. Flax should be planted
early on we'll cultivated ground and
at least one bushel to each acre,
lightly narrowed and either rolled
or planked to get the ground smooth
so that it may be cut close to the
ground to get the longest possible
straw, as it is bought by the ton and
the longer the straw the more
weight and the longer the fiber.
When flax is ripe it should he cut
and bound and when properly cured
for stacking and baling delivered to
the nearest railway station where
the company have men to stack.
This relieves the farmers from all
worry and expense incident to
threshing, he gets his pay for each
load. We understand that farmers
in southeastern Minnesota where
this company is operating find that
is a very profitable way of market
ing their flax, many receiving as
high as $500 an acre with no ex-
pense attached except for twine to
bind it with. We are also Informed
that binder Irvine manufactured
from flax fiber is of superior quality
and the cost less than Hwine manu-
featured from imported fibers, and
makes market for a product now
being burned by the farmers.
The international Flax Irvine
Co. furnish clean selected seed flax
to farmers desiring same at reason
able prices and on easy terms to en-
courage the culture of clean crops.
For samples of seed flax and full
particulars call on A. w. Lund and

The Oratorical Contest.
Boys Make Fine spiel"

The boys of the High school, in
their speaking contest at the M. E..
church last Thursday evening, gave
us fine exhibition of amateur ora
tory. This contest was the best
the school has ever given, and it
had given many good ones before.
One of the first requirements in a
public speaker is good voice. 1t
was noticeable feature of this con-
test that voices were exceptionally
good. These nine boys, with hard
ly an exception, have fine voices for
public speaking, and there were ev-
idencies that they had been judi
ciously trained.
The selections spoken are among
the best in forensic oratory. Inger-
soils delicate Tribute to the Sol
diers of the Civil War, spoken with
evident appreciation by James
Lowe, is a beautiful and pathetic
production; Cicero's Arrangement
of Catalina, effectively reproduced
by Earl Whitcomb, has never been
surpassed for it's irony and force of
denunciation; McKinley's "Our Du-
ty to the Philippines, so finely ex-
pressed by Dean Smith, is good
example of argumentative oratory;
Meagher's Defense, SO naturally
and effectively given by VERNE Bal
ley, is a good example of persua-
sive eloquence, while that extract
on the Character of Napoleon, well
spoken by James Pomeroy, is re-
markable for its lofty diction and
perfect periods. There were three
selections from the speeches of that
prince of orators, Wendell Phillips,
Daniel O. Connell," spoken by
Oscar Carlson, and Toussaint
L'Ouverture, the selection spoken
by Neil Reed.
The judges were Revs. Spencer
and Erickson, Mrs. Truesdell, Prof.
Sims and w. G. Spence, than which
no combination for capability to
give wise decision could have been
found. They awarded first place
to Neil Reed and second to Earl
Whitcomb, decision which was in
perfect agreement with the popular
sentiment. The superior merit of
the winners was manifest in two
particulars: first, these speakers
had a good apprehension of rhe SEN
timent and in speaking they more
intimately participated in the spirit
of the selection, and so were better
able to express the sentiment; and
second-which in some measure is
consequence of the first--their
gestures were natural, apt express
sions, illustrative of the sentiment.
