 where can I obtain testimonials to send with a letter of application for a position?, A Business Novice It is probable you can obtain letters of testimonial from your former teach CTS, or business employers. from your church pastor, physician. lawyer or. friends who hold responsible posi- tions and are men and women of standing in the community in which they live. Do not hesitate to ask for such letters and have these dilate on your character. experience and per sona1 appearance. Nearly everyone Is willing to give a friend boost of this kind. if she merits 1t. but do not obtain testimonials of people whose character or standing is such that their words of commendation may hurt instead of help In some cases school boards desire photograph of an applicant This Is natural when one considers the desirability' of asso- ciating children with persons of pleas ing personality and good looks.
 T have obtained testimonials to send with a letter of application for a position, but dislike to ask twice for letters, and fear if I send them I may never get them back. Will 1t be cor rect for me to send copies?'
 Keep your teStimonlalS ana nave several copies struclroff. Send copy of each letter in your note of applica- tion. Have these copies exact, with the word copy" written in the left-hand corner of the sheet below the closing of the testimonial. Refer in your let ter to these as copies. If you send your original testimonials you may never see them, even though you send a stamp for their return, for. while peo- .-I. I- nk tUtA tn H2n val fhn reply is left to an office clerk, loose papers may be, overlooked. Then too, the person to whom you apply may desire to keep thee testimonials for some time. while he Is considering you as an. applicant. If you have other copies you can apply to several places while he is making a decision.

NO GREEN BUGS, AND
CROPS ARE FLOURlSHING

days spent in wheat fields in this.
Beadle, county, A. G. Johnson, general
agent for the Chicago and Northwest
ern railway, emphatically states that
no green bugs" exist in fields in this
locality.
The reported appearance of what is
known as the green bug is nothing
more than the native aphis. which APP
pears in greater or less numbers each
year and are not damaging to the
crops. The bugs found by Mr.. Logan,
crop expert from Kansas City, q few
days since, are of this type. The small
grain crop throughout this portion OF
the James valley are in fine condition
and With favorable weather will in a
few days be as far advanced as az the
same period last season. There is no
semblance of discouragen CIR un-
easiness on the part of farmers, the
o. x. in Minnesota.
| Winona, Mimi. June 11.-This weeks
crop report from along the line of the
Chicago and Northwestern road is ia
worable, except as to corn. 1t says:
since our last report we have had
heavy rains and warmer weather, fol-
lowed by sunshine. and all small grain
| has made good, strong growth. In many
places water is standing on the ground
| but no general damage from excessive
.moisture
Corn is backward and in many
| places is not all terminating, and in
some cases is being seeded to flax 1t
| is quite safe to state corn prospects in
acreage and growth is not promising at
this time, but too early to determine
results at this time.
The green bug scare has been
started but am pleased to state no
foundation for such report. The Kan
sas experts who made the discovery are
convinced it is not the Kansas destruc-
tive green bug We have personally,
With the gentlemen who assisted the
experts, examined the same fields and
were unable to discover the bugs
Our report is intended to be favor
able except as to corn. Will be able
to more fully report ON corn another
week. All small grain is making good
| will be seeded to flax"

and while the number of pupils in the
state shows an increase of 2.IOO in the

has Increased from s2.24 to s2.43. On
account of the reduction of the Inter-
