Orders Received by Local Office
Providing New Regulations
for Postal Cards.

An order has been received at the
local post office from the post Office
department, providing new regula-
tlons governing the size, form and
weight of private post cards entering
the mails. Such post cards must be
made of an unfolded piece of
card board, not exceeding.
three and nine-sixteenths by five and
nlne-sixteen5ns inches, nor less than
two and three-fourth by four inches.
They must in form and in quality
and weight OF paper be substantially
like the government post cards.
They may be of any color, not inter-
terlng with a legible address and
postmark. Very thin sheets of paper
may be attached to them on condi-
tlon that they completely adhere to
the card, Cards bearing PARTICLES of
glass, meta mica, sand, tinsel or
oUher similar substances will not be
accepted for mailing except when in
closed in envelopes.
This order has special reference to
cards containing pendant articles and
raised attachments of various forms
and sizes which make the cards un-
widely and inconvenient to handle.

A BY-PRODUCT THAT
HELPS TO LIFT MORTGAGE.

A farmers wife living only a short
distance from Lengby and who does
not wish her name published has
kept record of eggs and butter sold
from her IS hens and five COWS dur
ing last year. Her egg sales amount
ed to SIT and her butter sales to S82,
making a total of $3.50. 1t must be
understood that this does not repre-
sent the total product, but only the
surplus after deducting all eggs and
butter which has been used by the
family during the entire year.
These people do not pretend to make
. this their business, but rather as a
by-prod uct besides the regular pro-
ceeds from the farm. It is splendid
example to copy by all the rest OF
the farmers around here. .-Fosstou

A STRAWBERRY FARM.

The. Sheaf had the pleasure TODAY
20 meet Mr.. G. S. BARTLETT, a. gentle
man who has recently arrived from
Illinois to occupy farm which he
mas purchased a mile west of town.
one reason Why it was a pleasure to
meet Mr.. Bartlett was because he
proposes to follow an entirely new
line OF agricultural activity with US.
namely the growing of strawberries
ana small fruit rs the principal crop.
lie has great deal Of experience in
strawberry culture and is confident
chat our soil and climate will pro-
duce the most perfect berries, a con-
clus1on that cannot bs incorrect in
asmuch as the wild varieties grow
here in great profuston. Mr.. Bart
lett will plant about an acre to
berries this year, and If the business
Is success will add several more
next year. The Sheaf is glad to see
people come here who will strike out
on new lines and demonstrate that
this country is adapted not for one
or two kinds of crops, but for great.
almost endless, variety of products.
Ihere is no reason why we--should
send. to Arkansas or Washington for
our strawberries when we can raise the
most luscious berries right At home.

The Lacrosse Chronicle COMMENT
ing on the performance of Olav Moe,

The Lacrosse Chronicle comment
ing on the performance of Olav Moe,
contained the following:
''The concert given in Germania
hall last evening by the noted
Norwegian violinist, Olav Moe, was
one Of more than usual interest and
Importance. Without any orchestra
background and without any of those
advantageous aids to the imagination
which adds so materially to the full
ness of any rendering, the brilliant
violinist stood alone on the platform
and gave with fire and feeling piece
after piece of picturesque music-so
weird, so strange, SO fascinating as
to Guido Grieg himself.
The whole program was made up
Of selections interpreted by Norway's
most characteristic musicians.
National dances, weird, myths,
weddings, technical exercises and
were mingled together in
true Norwegian style and the whole
was given relief by the occasional
and most excellent numbers given by
the Harmony Quartet.

A New Invention That Bids
Fair to be a Great
Success

A recent invention in the way oil
a. milking machine is to be put upon
the market shortly by the patentee,
Mark Carmickle, and his hacker, the
Conklin Boiler Company of this city.
The machine has already beer
patented and Is declared by the own.
ers to be an unqualified success.
Working on a new principal, and a
radical departure from the~ old
vacuum theory, it is said that it will
do it's work quickly without injury
to the COW, which has always been
the great drawback to such
machines. The mixer is fitted with
rubber rollers attached to an endless
chain, which operate on the COWS
, teats somewhat on the principle Of
the human hand when milking.
The machines are to be made in
both single and double patterns and
are to be operated by hand power or
Can be fitted up with an electric
motor for large herds. The cost Of
machine Is expected to be in the
neighborhOOd of $50 or 800.
The Conklin Boiler Works is now
making an improved model. They
are planning on erecting additional
facilities for the manufacture and
expect to have the milker on the
market this summer.
. Mark Carmickle, the inventor and
patentee, formerly lived on claim
near Esplee, Marshall county, but is
now located at Hendrum. He has
been working on the machine since
1898, and it is bis latest improve
ment that is to be put upon the
market. Some years ago he secured
a patent on a machine, but it did
not meet his wishes, the result being
that after three years of additional
labor he has evolved the present
machine which is claimed to lack
little of perfection.-Thief River

TWO KINDS OF CATTLE.

The managers of the South St.
Paul Stock Yards are sounding a cry
for better cattle. In spite OF all that
has been said, shippers continue to
send in common, scrub cattle, which.
in many instances, have to be sacri-
feed at any price to prevent total
loss. The fault does not lie sentirely
with the shippers. The farmers are
certainly blamable, for it is they
who put this common stock on sale.
1t costs very little more to raise good
cattle than to grow common ones,
and the prices realized are sure TO be
much greater. Our farmers might
as we'll send in stock of quality as
stock OF poor quality. But this cam
not be done without thought and
care. Send in an inferior animal
that weighs l, 200 pounds when inisL-
ed, in the one instance, and
superior animal that weighs the
same in another, and note the differ
ence in the returns.
The first will probably sell at 3
cents pound and the second at 5
cents a pound. The difference IS Sl8.
The difference on Car load of such
animals would be $4,000.
This is just a little hint for our
farmers to think ovel.

MAKES MONEY ON COWS.

Ole Bodell, who lives about five
miles east of Warren in town of Nc
Crea, is making big money from a
few COWS. During the month of
January he MIXED four fresh COWS
and four strippers and his receipts
for cream which he sold to the
Radium creamery amounted to S46
for that month. In February he
MIXED the same number of COWS
and strippers and his cream check
for the month was $40. But then
Mr.. Bodell takes good care of his
COWS and has them we'll housed and
fed. Besides good, nu tritions hay,
he feeds them ground oats and
barley, and warns the water which
they drink. He keeps his cows
stabbed most of the time, and never
lets them stay out to become chilled.
Good care he maintains is the secret
of making profit on COWS. What
Mr.. Bodell Is doing Is no moro than
every farmer on quarter section of
land can do If they wish. A few
years ago Mr.. Bodell was hard up,

BUILDING A CHILD'S
(yTER.

Some interesting contrasts are be-
ing drawn between the parents
method and the school teachers
method of making child good in a
series of interviews with an expert
teacher, now running in the New
Idea Woman's Magazine. In the
April number the subject of the in
terview is 'The Insolent Child, 'and
Miss Farrell, the teacher who is the
Superintendent of Education among
backward and unmanageable chill
dren in New York City, gave it as a
rule from imitation. She brought
out nice point, however, in regard
to rousing child to disrespect and
anger as follows:
''But may there not be cases where
so-called insolence arises from exas-
peration or bad temper on the part
of the child? A mother might say,
You must not do this,' and the
child retort, I will, I will, 1 don't
care what you say" eyes, but If
the teacher knew that child, if she
knew it would make that answer,
she would not give it an opportunity
to retort. The teacher avoids that
whole side of his nature. She does
not command. She requests. That
is where many parents would differ
from teacher; and teachers of a
past generation would differ from
teachers of to-day. They would
command, not ask. The teacher,
however, by asking instead of com
manding, gets the thing she wants,
while the child is not liable to irrita-
tion.' -.
"But is it good for the child to be
treated so?''
"Well, there are many people who
say it is not. you are just avoiding
the problem, they say. But it
builds up the habit OF compliance,
and this is what we want. And il
! we believe that life is matter OF
habits, we are willing to build them
up the best way we can. Habit is
tremendously strong thing. It is
the habit of replying courteous]y the
habit of doing good things, that
counts. I think it is all habit my.

CITY LOTS WILL

residence lots to the five old maid!
or old bachelors, who first abandon
their selfish single blessedness fo1
matr1mony, to the profit and ad.
Vancement Of the city and surround.
ing territory.
Mayor Lundgren has just been
elected to his fourth consecutive
term as head Of the city government.
He is Intensely Interested in the well
fare OF the city and this portion OF
the state. He has found that his
family and his prosperity have in
creased in equal ratio and firmly be-
lieves that family fresides are more
valuable to a community than bache-
lors apartments and eating houses.
At a late meeting of the city coun-
Gil the matter came up and was con-
sidered In more or less joking way,
when 1t was discovered that every
member was in favor of bachelor
tax or some similar measure. Before
taking any compulsory steps, how
ever It was decided to try persuasion.
A number Of bachelors, almost every
one Of which are comfortably situat-
ed regarding this worlds goods, and
several are wealthy, are willing to
assume the matrimonial yoke, but
lack either the courage openly to
seek a mate, or the opportunity,
owing to the comparatively lesser
number of marriageable ladies.
TO overcome these obstacles a plan
is being considered to have City Re.
corder Powell make and keep secret
record of the Warren unmarried who
are willing to consider proposals from
eligible persons of the opposite sex,
and also Of applicants from distant
places. All such persons must agree
to make their homes at or near this
city. Recorder Powell agrees to dc
this for a small fee.
The married men of the City are
all supporting Mayor Lundgren and
the council in their plans, and the
small number of what might be term.
ed spinsters favor the plan. The
bachelors are non-committal.
This locality abounds in merchan.
tile and industrial opportunities and
it is hoped that by this means many
persons of both sexes may be induc.
ed to come here and aid in develop.
ing the country.
Last year nearly half the teachers
in the city schools made excellent
marriages Immediately atter'the close
of the school year, and almost as
many marriages are expected to take
place this year, but there is still
room for more.

with full house of tears for Bob s

be the same Bob? Will he be able

LAW ON FARMS

The Manufacturer Record well
thinks that eight-hour law would
not work well on the farms in the
South, and it belives that the
Farmers Educational and CO.
operative Union which recently
convened in Atlanta, made mis-
take in recommending byresolution
"what is known as the national
eight hour law"
With tart sarcasm the Record
according to the Macon Telegraph,
has the following:
"There is some indefniteness
about that resolution, but it looks
as through the members of the
organization have come to the
conclusion that the hands on farms
should not go to work until s
O'Clock in the morning, should
have an hour for rest at noon and
should stop work for the day at
5 o'clock in the evening.
EThey probably areaware that
any national eight hour law that
could hold water, even if it could
be passed, could make no distinc-
ton of weather or seasons.
They know that upon the farmers
would fall the burden of the extra
million of dollars taxes for the
hire of inspectors to see that the
laborers on the farm did not violate
the law, and that whether or not
the hay was all in at 5 o'clock and
a thunder storml coming on, the
hands of the employers would be
liable for prosecution if they lifted
an implement or used machine.

Cooperative Union of Ameria

host of beings in the country who
make living by farming the emo
tions of their fellow-men and

PISTOL LUGcERs ARE PLEASED

Something more than suspicion
is necessary to justify arrest and
search in this State, as has been
shown by the court of Appeals. A
man suspected of carrying concealed
weapons had been arrested and
searched, without the tormality of
a warrant. The court held that
as there must first be a warrant
any search was illegal and any
evidence found on the person
arrested could not be used against
him. This is the law and it will
hold. 1t works, however, to the
advantage of the pistol toters.
