Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1907-08-15

We have had time this week for
but cursory view of the Marshall
County fair, now being held in our
city, but it does not require long
time for anyone who goes there to
become impressed with the general
excellence and" great variety of the
products raised on Marshall county,
fertile SOIL Though this is a week
or two too early for an adequate and
truly representative display of the
different kinds of small grains and
vegetables raised in the county, yet
sufficient is shown even now, before
the end of the growing season, to
convince the most skeptical that the
agricultural recources Of Marshall
County are very great. The exhibits
of grains and grasses and vegetables
of all kinds are as fine as can be seen
anywhere in this country, and the
exhibit of live stock, such as cattle,
horses, sheep, pigs and poultry,
challenges our admiration when we
consider the newness of the county
,Apd that most Of the settlers have
lived here less than a score Of years.
But it is not in things material
alone that the county has made
great progress. A glance at the ex-
hibit of the Warren Public schools,
particularly the manual training
department, and the exhibit of the
rural sch o'S, do show that in the
realm of mind, also, is there activity
and development. OF no other pro-
ducts can Marshall County be proud
er than of her boys and girls, who
under the ,tutelage of good teachers.
an excellent school system. and an
environment that calls mental and
bodily activity, are developing into
strong, sturdy and Intelligent
citizenship. A county that is blessed
with such a soil and climate as Mar
shall County and with an intelli-
gent and Industrious class of
settlers, although too few in numbers,
cannot fail to progress and attract
the attention Of homeseekers from
far and near. What Marshall county
needs, and what every county in
the northern part Of the state
needs, is more people to develop the
vast resources hidden in our fertile
soil. The fair that is now in pro-
gress SHOULD open the eyes Of many
Outsiders TO our Wonderful possibili-
ties. But we fear that there are
many people who have lived here
tor years who do not fully
appreciate what grand county we
have, and that when it's resources
are fully developed it will be one of
the richest and most densely
populated counties iii the state OF
Minnesota. The county fair gives
the people of the county an excellent
opportunity to come together and
compare products, and the friendly
riyAlry :)etve7n nag lbors should
stir all to greater exertion and better
and more intelligent farming. The
county fair will do us all good if we
only know how to extract the good.

BIRD HUNT IN MlpocEAr.
Valuable Penguin Chased Over oecks
 and Recsptured.

A penguin hunt during a winter storm in the mid-Atlantic was one oi the odd experiences of R. D. Jones, who returned yesterday from blro buying trip abroad, says the Minneapo- lis Journal Commissioned to buy the stock for the great aviaries at BE Island park, MT. Jones was returning with some 50 out of the 2000 birds ne had purchased at the various markets in England and on the continent Ills travelling proteges were lashed Tn small crates on the upper deck in the lee of the smokestacks
 One morning when the seas were running high and no passengers dared to venture upon the decks crate con taining penguin broke loose, crashed down to lower deck and broke open. Mir Penguin promptly emerged from the debris and started on tour of ex- ploration. It happens that penguins are not available in the market every day, this specimen being one of two which Mir. Jones bought on the London docks of sailor just in from Africa Consequently he saw that heroic steps were to be taken at once if one of his rarest birds was to be saved. In im- minent danger of being washed away by the big combers. he and sailor chased the escaped prisoner over the sloping. slippery decks until the bird was again safely caged and slowed away.

PRESS HELPS ROOSEVELT
Presidents Achievements Compared With Those of Capt. John
 Smith by an Editor.
AN ADDRESS BY CROSBY s. HOYts
Editor of the Washington Star De- clares Newspapers of the Country Have Made Possible the Success of the Presidents Reform Policies Slow of Appreciation.

Norfolk, Va, June 14.-"J Journalism since Jamestown" was the subject of an address delivered before the Ma tional Editorial association at the Jamestown exposition Thursday by Crosby s. Moves, editor of the Wash ington Star.
 Mir Moves compared the achieve ments of Capt Smith in planting and sustaining the English colony with the deeds of President Roosevelt in this generation and declared that they were as worthy of glorification, but lacked the aid of the newspaper press that had so greatly helped the latter in his upward career" The newspapers, the speaker declared, have given MT. Roosevelt their vigor- ous support in his reform policies; have exploited all his sayings and do- ings through the 24 hours of the day: glorified the man and his work and made his name household word in evry home in the land. "Mr. Roose- welt has seemed somewhat slow in acknowledging his indebtedness to the press, MT. Moves said, but per haps he will think of it some day when he is not too busy" The first appearance of the reporter, Mr. Moves declared. was when Joseph Gath of the National Intelligencer, covered Daniel Websters reply to Hayne.
 In discussing the attitude toward the press of "our rulers, state and national" the speaker declared that they have. with two or three ex- tions, been on friendly terms with the newspapermen. In discussing Presi- dent Roosevelt's attitude. he said:
 @He has declared himself in favor of clean, healthy newspapers, with clean, healthy criticisms, which shall be fearless and truthful, but when it comes to the test, it is seen that he does not relish these fearless and truthful criticisms when they are ex- ercised at his expense. But the news papermen have no quarrel with the president. There is some friction be-
 
 tween them but no rupture; and Sec retary Loeb dispenses the White house news with tact and intelligence.
 "Mr. Roosevelt has no real animos- ity to the press. and fancy he has no keener enjoyment in life than in association with bright newspaper men; as, for instance, at Gridiron dinner, when, after busy day super intending the affairs of the universe, he drops in upon those entertain ments and enters Into the spirit of the occasion with all the glee of a scchoolboy just let out for the holi- days; and his laughter is the hearti- est to be heard when the Gridiron boys are giving him pretty hot roast over some of his official eccen- tricities.
 After all, Theodore Roosevelt is good deal of boy yet, as we'll as most masterful president"

 ness" said the gray-headed man. "Pd get out a school reader and put ints 1t some of the old poems and stories that were favorites forty years ago It would do the young sters good to get acquainted with that ancient and honorable liter- ature, while as for their parents. who sometimes look through school book seeking in vain for familiar echo of their own childhood days, why, they would get a whiff of the inspiration of youth that would lop at least 15 years off their age. I'd put in that poem about Make Me Child Again Just for Tonight" and that other one where the little girl wants to know If God isn't on the ocean just the same as on the land?' Then there are The Gamblers Wife, Lewellyn and His Dog We Are Seven and Lazy Ned I'd print all these old gems and sand wich them in between the speeches of Patrick Henry and Daniel Webster, and that old classic about the content ed boy who had no kick against life as he found it, even though he hadn't even turnip to eat. Maybe my book, when I had finished compiling 1t, wouldn't find favor with a modern school board, but I'll warrant you it would strike sympathetic chord in the breast of many reader, old and young

A NovelIst's Mission.

The neglect of Disraelis writings may be in part due to the fact that most people think it Is below the dig. nity of statesman, or of any man following what Is called serious profession, to compose works of fic- tion Certainly, many do not yet understand that the man who writes novels may be very wise man: they do not realize that accurately to portray human nature and to present pictures of life is not only 8 most worthy. but also most difficult task. requiring for it1 performance an in- telligence far above the average, acute powers of observation. and keen sense of humor For surely the great novelist is the observer sounding the depths, while others glance at the sur face and examine the mysteries of life, while others are content to overlook even the obvious Melville's s Victorian Noyelists.

New Theory of Sleep.

Sir William Covers has recently de veloped a new theory of sleep. Accord ing to his. explanation, the suspension of consciousness in sleep Is probably Aue to a break and make" action among the brain cells. The activity of the brain is considered to be due to nerve cells, from which spring nerve cords that go on dividing and subdividing until they terminate ih little knobs. Formerly it was be- neved that the nerve cells of the brain were in permanent connection by means of their terminals; but now it appears that these are only in oppo- sition and capable of being separated. The hypothesis is that during sleep such separation takes place. and the fact that narcotic substances are cap able of inducing sleep is held to sup port this view.

Wolf in Italian Town.

It is not often that European eyes witness the spectacle of wolf trot- ting leisurely through the streets in broad daylight, and with little appar- ent concern. Such an incident hap pened recently in the Italian town of Annezzano The wolf went snifiiing first in the direction of one house and then of another as he went along Passing by the hospital. an attendant of sporting instincts saw the game, and, rushing for gun, gave chase Before long he got a chance for shot, which hit the wolf, and, following this up with another the beast was slain Its presence in the town is accounted for by the theory that the beast had been hunting over night away from his haunts. and after eating to satiety and sleeping through the night. was making his way back to his lair

FISH THAT SWALLOW SAND.
Ocean Denixens Which Load Their
 Stomachs with Ballast.

An official of the fish commission, at Washington, states that captains of fishing smacks in the North sea have found that codfish at certain times of the year take sand into their stomachs as ballast" This, 1t would appear, Is done when the fish are about to migrate from the shallow water covering the southern banks of the North sea to the deeper water farther north.
 It has been observed that fish caught op the southern banks just be- fore the migration begins and those caught in the northern waters after t Is completed have sand in their stomachs and that the sand is dis charged after the arrival of the fish at the southern banks on the return migration.
 In proof of this 1t Is stated that the sand found in the fish often differs In color and quality from that of the bot. tom where they are caught.

LINK WITH THE DEAD PAST.
Woman Has Handkerchief Stained
 with Blood of Charles !.

An interesting Derbyshire link with the past is recalled by MT. J. H. Sharpley of Hatfield college, Doncas- ter, in a letter to the Sheffield Tele- graph. He says: Tn 1872, when a boy, staying at Hulland ward, Derby shire, called on an old woman, Eliza beth Durose, then 97, widow of farm CT who told me that her grandmother, when girl, had known mana dis tant reiative-who had witnessed the execution of Charles l. The old wom- an then took out of corner cup board an old prayer-book. bound in black leather, which was, l fancy, of the time of Queen Anne, for I remem- Der 1t had frontispiece picturing a parson in gown and bands, and wear ing long wig. saying prayers in a 'three-decker' Opening 1t at the form of service for January 30, she showed me piece of coarse linen, of the color Of dead leaf, which she said was a portion of handkerchief which haG been dipped in the kings blood, and was given to her grandmother by the above eyewitness. When 1t first pass ed into her possession it was nearly entire, but her children had played with it, and this was all she had man. aged to preserve Derby (England) Telegraph.

AIdrieh and Whitman.

T. R. Aldrich knew Walt Whitman and liked him personally, although he would never admit that Whitman was poet except in here and there sin gle phrase. Many time has the pres ent writer endeavored to convert Mir. Aldrich from this state of heather blindness as to Whitman's genius, but the debates used to end illogically with Mir Aldrich's delightful story of a cer- tain ss which Whitman once borrowed from him-magnificently, but, alas, ir- revocably--in Pfaff's restaurant in Broadway Atlantic Monthly.

It Is 8 matter of custom rather than of reason that we should use so much wheat and so little corR in our daily ration Practically all the wheat pro duced is converted into food for man. It Is probable that not one bushel of corn in so raised in this country goes upon the table. That is a regrettabls anomaly when we consider that two bushels of corn can be produced to every bushel Of wheat on given area and that the national corn crop is four times the national wheat crop.
