AMERICAN AND GtRNAN FORESTS.

American forests, according to
the experts Of the Department Of
Agriculture, are capable Of yielding
more wood to the acre, if well
handled, than the noted forests Of
Germany, many Of which net their
owners from $3.50 to $500 or
more per acre annually Not only
are our native forests richer in vaI0-
able timber trees, bat our climate
and soil conditions are more favor
able. The trouble is not that our
trees do not grow fast enough. but
that our ignorace and carrlcssness
have left our woodlands poorly
stocked.
The German forester sees to it
that his forest is uniform and dense
To grow a full crop of wood, as to
grow a full crop Of grass or corn,
there must be a full stand. Next in
Importance is the rate OF growth Of
the trees. The species most grown
abroad are Norway spruce, Scotch
pine, and silver fir for soft woods.
and beech and oak for hardwoods.

satisfaction in the way they took the
different parts in the play,

In speaking of the work done by
Fred Lawrence and company the
Minot Daily Reporter says of
Charity":
It isn't funny, and no one tries
to be, but it is better than that.
The pathos,even tragedy of the theme
is we'll brought out by Mr.. Lawrence
and his support, who are clever
interpreters of the pretty story.
"A little of the pathos between
the lines is the fact that Fred
Lawrence, who plays the part of an
invalid, is in reality confined to his
wheel chair" ~
There will be an entire change of
pictures tonight. "

How to Make a ''Widow."

The following is an officially
authorized recipe for making
merry widow" hat. Buy one extra
large disc harrow blade, lay blade
upon rail of Twentieth Century
limited in such manner as to give
the brim saucy tilt upwards when
the wheels pass over it, take it to the
foundry and rivet over the whole
in the disc one deep metal frying
pan with handle detsched. Line the
substrata with cheese cloth and
Valenciennes lace. Cover entire
outer cover with black silk from
the interior of your husbands new
spring over coat. If he has no
new spring O. c. the silk from his
full dress will answer the purpose
very nicely. Next go down town
and buy six of the biggest imitation
roses you can find. Red is the pre-
ferable color. Place these upon the
forecastle of the hat, standing bolt
upright. Next wind the crown with
one of your husbands gala silk
neckties, put in the oven, and bake
for IS minutes. When done stick a
hatpin through said hat and wear
to suit. A stickpin with a lemon
for handle is very fancy and will
20 we'll with your hat. This is sure
to make hit whenever you wear it.

PAUL SULLIVAN PASSED

Found This Morning by Boy Who De.
Iivers Laundry.-No Marks Of Vic.
Ience.- Inquest Held.

Paul Sullivan, an old man of
IS years, who has been running a
pop corn and lunch stand in this
city for the past five years, was
found dead this morning in his
stand, by a boy who was delivering
some laundry.
Deputy Coroner Lair was called
to the scene and found Mr.. Sullivan
in bed as he had undressed the
night before. There were no signs
of a struggle and death seemed to
have been natural.
Mr.. Sullivan complained few
days ago of feeling unwell and hav-
ing a pain in his side. Further than
this, there was no knowledge that he
had ever been ill.
Last evening Mr.. Sullivan stated
to a friend that he had sister at
Baron, Wis, and a brother some
where in that state. No inquest has
been held as yet and it is not yet
known whether there will.
The body was taken to Lahr's
undertaking rooms in this city and
dressed for burial. It will be held
there until news can be received
from relatives. and in case nothing
is heard from them a subscription
will be taken up and the body will
be buried either in the local cemetery
or OF the county poor farm.

In every way within the province as
signed to them by the Constitution of

not issue if no labor disputes were in

PROFESSOR R. A. MOORE
LECTURED AT DEER LAKE.
Gives Practical Talk to Farmers.
Encourages Dairying. Another
- Meeting July Is.

Prof. R. A. Moore, assistant dean
of the department of agriculture of
Madison, Wis.,, and Col. w. J.
Anderson of the same place spoke
to a large crowd of farmers and
settlers in the Deer Lake school
house last evening.
Prof. Moore and Col. Anderson
have been the guests of Roger c.
Spooner at his beautiful home at
Deer Lake the past six weeks, while
looking over lands in the townships
of Lein, Neving, Buzzle, Dudley,
Sinclair, LIE on and lands near these
places.
Mr.. Moore states as follows:
This is, without doubt, one of the
very best countries from an agricul-
tural standpoint that I have ever
travelled through.
I predict a grand future for this
part of northern Minnesota and
unhesitatingly say that dairying
should become more general.
I know of no section of the
country which offers such oppor-
tunities for the poor man than these
lands. Itgoes without question that
this is one of the best dairy coun-
tries in the United States"
Mr.. Moore also states that it is
his opinion that in a majority of
cases the farmers who have already
settled this section of the country
have practically robbed the soil.
I believe in rotation of crops
I have never seen a country so
adapted for the raising of clover as
this is"
At the conclusion of this meeting
it was the unanimous vote of those
present that another meeting should
be held Saturday, July rs, at which
time the settlers will have A. J.
MCGUIRE, of the Northwest Expert
mental Farm at Grand Rapids,
present to talk to the settlers on
dairying lands.
