TO BUILD CLUB HOUSE
Meeting Was Held Last Evening at the
Office of T. J. Miller & Co. to
Start the Ball Rolling.

A meeting of the Bemidji
Yacht club was held at the office
of T. J. Miller & Go. last evening,
for the purpose Of renewing in
terest in the organization.
The matter Of building a club
house was discussed to some ex-
tent, and it was the consensus OF
opinion of those present that
steps be taken to have plans pre-.
pared and an estimate Of the cost
of permanent building secured,
in order to do away with the
many individual boat houses that
mar the beauty of the lake shore,
and is an eyesore to residents
along the lake.
A committee was named to in
vestigate the matter and repor
the probable cost of building
that would meet the present re.
quirements, at the next meeting

Principal D. D. Mayne of the
School of Agriculture has given
the following brief statement
of the plans for the contest t> be
held in Minnesota for 1907. The
contestants are students in the
schools of the state:
"The plans for the contest
this year are not fully matured,
but a general outline is here
given so that the county super
intendents and teachers through
out the state may commence the
work i'm mediately.
"The coz test in corn will be
carried on just as outlined in
Rural School Bulletin No. 2.
"The contest in wheat and oats
will be simplifed somewhat. In
stead of requiring each contest
ant to have seed plot Of / acre
or more set aside especially for
him, he will be allowed to make
his selection Of zen heads of the
grain from any field on his home
farm and may present these with
a peck of the grain from the
same field. The student then
becomes the selector and grader
of the wheat and oats, and not
the grower necessarily. This
will avoid the necessity of the
student being put to the trouble
of threshing seed plots separ-
ately.
Prizes will be awarded for the
best potatoes exhibited and
grown by the contestants. Prizes
will also be awarded for the best
exhibit of five different vege-
tables grown by the contc stant,
Prizes for the best apples
grown on the home farm Of the
student, and selected by him,
will be awarded. The various
classes in this contest will be
published later and the prizes
stated.

The State contest will be held
December 10, 20 and 21. The
first day of the contest will be
given to placing the exhibits and
viewing the State capitol. The
second day will be spent at the
School of Agriculture, where in.
struction will be given in agri,
culture, horticulture, domestic
science and domestic art.
It is hoped that each county
superintendent t will head a dele
cation Of teachers and students
from his or her county, and that
the school boards throughout
the state will allow teachers
who go with pupils to the state
meeting to close their schools on
the 10Th and Goth of December.
The best work can be done
when the boys and girls in the
schools of the state are organized
into clubs. It is suggested that
a"Boys Farm Club" and a"Girls
Home Club" be organized in each
school, also that county organi-
zation of these schools be formed. .
At the next annual state contest
a State Federation of Boys and
Girls Clubs will be organized.
Some of the counties of the state
are organized on this basis and
splendid results are secured.
Sufficient plans are here given
to enable the County Superin-
tendent to organize and push the
work in the county. The study
and work in the schools this
winter are a necessary prelimi-
nary to successful contests in
the fall. It is urged that the
work in each county of the state
be pushed forward Immediately.
The supply of a Rural School
Agriculture Bulletin giving full
instructions with reference to all
the contests is in preparation. .
