us this one refused to allow us to
hold it while he fshed out the

The new ten-dollar piece is
bright yellow in color and probably
would set up merry clink if it came
in contact with a bunch of keys, but
we do not like it's design. Of
course, we are not an authority on
money; the government has insisted
that it will make it's own money,
and then we can make it if we
can but not by the government
method. There is on one side of
this coin a girls head. Her hair is
golden. So far so good.
Her upper lip curls aloft as though
she we're shifting at something OF
somebody, and her eye (only one
eye is visible) has dreamy look, as
though she were thinking of what
she could buy if she could get off
the coin and spend it. 1t is said
that she is wearing a war bonnet =
but nothing like that headgear ever

of. A string of chicken feathers,

artificial flowers, will never be a

part of the new coin is the eagle,
that proudly takes up the other side.

eagle is that it wears pants. Conf.

LARGE NUMBER OF BASS
FRY PLANTED IN LAKE
Game and Fish Commission Sends
Large Number Of Fish For
Lake Bemidj.

Twenty cans of fry from the
state fish hatchery at St. Paul, have
been placed in Lake Bemidji for the
purpose of replenishing the lake
with the tinny tribes of fishes that
inhabit the deep" in the local lake.
Game Warden Rutledge was noti-
fed yesterday by Sam F. Fullerton,
superintendent of the state fisheries,
that Tams Bixby of St. Paul, presi-
dent of the Bemidji Townsite COM
pany, has made application to the
game and fish commission for bass
fry to be placed in Lake Bemidji;
that the application had been
granted, AID that twenty cans of
fish were on their way to to this
place. Mr.. Rutledge received the
shipment of fish last evening, and
today the same were placed at differ
ent points in the lake.
The bass is gamey fish and we'll
able to take care of itself, and no
doubt it will be but a couple of
seasons when the black bass will be
one of the principal fishes caught
in Lake Bemidji. Local anglers are
very thankful to Mr.. Bixby and
also to Mr.. Fullerton for sending
the bass to be placed in the local
lake.

Getting Down to Sensible Position on
Free Seeds.

We have frequently expressed our
opinion of the farce, or more proper
ly, fraud, which is perpretrated each
year by congress in sending out mil
lions of small packages of often
worthless seeds. of old and common
varieties of vegetables. We have also
given space to the reproduction Of
the opinions of other editors on the
subject, but SO long as the practice
is kept up we must continue to fight
it.
An editorial from the Oklahoma
Farmer gives one of the strongest
arrangements of the whole business
that we have seen.
If it seems to you to be right, cut
it out and send it to the congressman
from your district with the endorse
ment that it expresses your sentl-
ments:
Much interest has been taken by
the officials of the Department of Ag-
riculture in the action of the National
Farmers Congress which,. at its an
nual meeting a few days since, at
Rock Island, Illinois, condemned the
congressional free seed distribution
and urged that the money now ap-
propriated for the free distribution
by congressman, of common varieties
OF cheap garden seeds, should be

ed States and Canada, have been
planting Gregory's Seeds, and they
have done SO because they know that
these seeds have all been thoroughly
tested, and that the three warrants
under which Gregory's Seeds are sold
cover all seed risks.
Just think of it! Over two thou
sand tests of the vitality of both
vegetable and flower seeds are made
every season, and thousands Of dol
lars worth of seed are thrown away
though most of it is better than box
seed will average.

duced many new varieties Of vege

ed into new and inexperienced hands
the soils became exhausted through
lack of fertilization and proper cult
walton, and low prices followed as
natural result. 1t goes without say
ing that the citrus groves need con-
slant care and the trees properly ted
to produce good fruit. 1t was the diff
fculty of disposing of the crops from
exhausted soils and poorly cultivated
trees that brought into existence
combination of forces, out Of which
has grown the present exchange.
There has really never been time
in the history Of the citrus fruit in
dustry in this state when it was neces-
sary to send out good fruit in search
of buyer; neither has it ever been
necessary to form a combination for
the purpose of forcing it upon the
market. The inference is therefore
plain that when grower Of good fruit
enters into pool with those who
produce only poor fruit, his product
either falls to the level of the lowest
grade or is used as leverage to
place upon the market fruit which
would not otherwise pay to ship.
Once the system of cash sales is
firmly established there will be no
more mixing of inferior fruit with
the good, and every grower will get
just what is due him. The cash sys-
tenn will encourage the growers and
better fruit will be produced. The
value of a grove will then be based
upon the amount and quality of it's
product, and not as today upon specu-
lative theories, and exchange reports
of pools and sales.
1t is only a question of time when
exchange sales delivered methods will
cease to operate. How long it will
take to eliminate them from the prob
lem Of marketing citrus fruits de-
ponds upon the time required to en-
tighten the growers on the advan-
tages of cash sales. Unfortunately
there are prejudices to be brushed
aside before the growers in the ex-
change can be brought to that state
of mind which will enable them to
see clearly.
The consignment plan is decidedly
detrimental to the growers, but we
frankly confess our inability to see
how it can be to exchange officials.

able seeds and plants throughout the
world and distributing them through
the experiment stations This action
is in entire accord with the views
OF Secretary Wilson, as officially ex-
pressed, as we'll as privately In fact
the resolution condenses the views of
the organizations of farmers, the seed
merchants and all others who are
opposing the present system of scat
terlng forty million packets Of cheap
seeds broadcast over the country. The
resolution reads:
"Resolved, That we are opposed to
the system of seed distribution as
now conducted by the Federal govern
ment, but believe in the work of ex-
plorlng foreign countries for such
plants as may be prohtably introduced
into this country, and recommend that
the money expended for seed dis
tr1butlOn as now conducted, be added
to the fund for maintaining American
seed and plant explorers in other
countries, under direction of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the distribution of the same
among agricultural experiment sta
tons of the country for practical
test"
Several anti-seed resolutions were
presented to the congress and spe-
c1al committee was appointed to con-
slider them. 1t reported the above,
which was discussed at length by con-
gress in general session. Not voice
was heard in favor Of the turnip,
+ watermelon Or pumpkin seed of our
ancestors, which congressman pre-
sent to their constituents as new
rare and valuable" Some one called
Tor a rising vote and the thousand
delegates present rose as one man,
and the resolution was adopted unani-
mously amid great and prolonged ap-
| plause.
This action of the Farmers Ma
t1onal Congress is considered the
most important since the National
| Grange adopted similar resolutions
The congressional free seed distribu-
ton as at present conducted has now
been denounced by every national or
ganlzatlon Of farmers, and by most
OF the state organizations, and by
! hundreds of local societies. In view
of the fact that the house Of repre-
sentatlves last session voted in favor
OF continuing the free distribution of
prize penny packages Of radish and
tomato seed, Secretary Wilson holds
it IS the duty of the department to
say nothing and continue to send out
the seed, but it is we'll known he has
not changed his views which he has
officially given to congress- He has
several times stated that, "as there is
no practical object to be gained
IN distributing this kind of seed, it
seems desirable that some change be
made. To this end it would seem
wise to limit Our work entirely to
securing and distributing seeds
plants, ETC., Of new and rare sorts

vidual districts throughout the coun-
try than the distribution of large

THE COMMON GOOD

~He that would save his life shall
lose it.n
Here is your modern doctrine of the
common good, as originally pro-
claimed by its author.
Il is doctrine that is being writ
ten large in the thought and life Of
the world today
II just means that the man who
seeks to save his life for himself alone
loses it ii the largest sense and he
that gives his life t. others saves It
IN the highest sense
The reason is that we were con-
structed with the end in view that
we should live in a world Of fellow
creatures. We are not SO built that We
live an isolated life, unrelated To those
about US. We are not wholly indep-
