recently turned over to wood com.
pany, contains one hundred and twenty

SHOWS caught by these five huudred
square miles OF primeval forest have
helped hitherto to equalize the flow Of
the Ohio River If experience is any
GUIDE TO future events this great tract
OF m1ountain-side will not only lose its
forest cover but will have its soil strip

Nolan's Record in the Legislature

The prediction made by the col,
leagues of W. A. Nolan came true in
1903 when he jumped into prominence
by organizing the house of representa-
tives and electing DR.. L. W. Babcock
the speaker, for which eeEectual work
Mr.. Nolan was given positions on
promjnent committees, and at once be-
came the floor leader of the majority
party. 1t was during that session that
he commenced his work to bring about
the speedy completion of the new state
capitol, at the lowest possible, and yet
sane cost. He fought the bill increas-
ing the appropriation by 81, soc, 900 and
his efforts along that line brought
about the written promise that the new
building would be completed in time
for the 1905 session, after lapse OF
nearly IL years, and that no appropria-
ton more than the additional $l5oO,
GOO would be asked for In order to
make the agreement more binding 1t

lately active work commenced on the
building ard as a result of Mr.. Nolan''s
struggle the building was finished and
without additional funds, at the stated
time.
1t was also during the 1903 session
that Mr.. N olan achieved still greater
prominence. At that session he was q
member Of the committee to :investl--
gate the needs Of Minnesota at the St.
Louis exposition. After a trip to the
worlds fair grounds q conservative ap-
preparation was decided upon, in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of the large
farming and laboring classes Of the
State. IN addition Mr. Nolan was
chairman Of the committee to prepare
for the reception, and also TO receive,
by the State Legislature, Of President
Roosevelt and Of Admiral Schley Of
the United States navy, both events Of

Furnished by the Minnesota Farmers Instl
tutes, st. Anthony Park, St. Paul Mimi.
The problem of securing reliable
farm labor for dairying and general
farming is confronting many farmers

yield and quality of small grains have
reduced the profits on many grain
farms in Minnesota. Do you realize
as farmer that Minnesota is one. of the
best adapted states in the Union for
the growing and feeding of sheep? Do
you realize how good Aock of sheep
will help to solve your labor problem
and return you profit ia unfavorable

count of 80 ewes owned and cared for
by a farmer in southwestern Minneso.
Ca. These figures were accurately
gathered and the amounts of feed
weighed and recorded by an employee
of the Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
On Jan 1st, 1906. the flock consisted
of 80 ewes ranging from one to five
years Of age. They were fed hay and
fodder corn with light grain ration
during the winter months. In the
spring the flock was turned into the
grain fields and allowed to Craze. Until
the grain was 6 inches high. During
the summer they were allowed the run

FARM WAS LURE
FOR THIS WOMAN
Mrs. G. L. Voorhees, Former
ly of Crown Point Defend
ant in Divorce Case
NOVEL CAUSE FOR SEPARATION
Husband Was Superintendent of the
Crown Point Public Schools
Formerly.

Crown Point, Ind, May 27.-The
voorees divorce case is attracting
much attention here as both parties
were once prominent in social circles
at the county seat.
The lure of the farm enticed Mr..
Ella culver Voorhees, away from Chi
cago seven years ago. Her farm, her
horses, her cattle and her orchards and
her meadows, had an irresistible at
traction for this woman. The gentle
voice of Nature caused her to leave
husband, caused her to forsake the
hurry and the hustle of life In Chicago.
Loves Farm Better.
Now, after seven years of peaceful
life in the country, amid all the scenes
which she so dearly loves, this woman
finds herself defendant in a divorce
suit begun by George L. Voorhees,,
principal of the Morse public school in
Chicago.
To all of Voorhees, entreatIes to the
woman who is the mother of his
seven children, to the entreaties made
time after time in the years In which
they have been separated, Mrs. Voor-
hees had only one reply:
Il cannot leave the country It is
dearer to me than you are. I must live
my life in my own way I cannot live
in the city. The call oe nature is too
strong for me-
And I cannot give UP by work in
the schools of Chicago" was always
the reply Of the husband and father
Separation Takes Place.
They separated. No quarrel, nc
words, just a drifting apart of two
persons, one wooed and won by the
city, the other wooed and won by the
country.
Voorhees, owned a splendid farm al

you will be happy IN no other
| place." he said. Take it, the farm Ii
yours"
The deed was drawn up and record
ed. There Mrs. Voorhees, and her chill
dren, to whom the lure of the country
was equally strong, have cultivated
and worked the farm. The Gentle
| Woman Farmer she is affectionately
known in the neighborhood. She ha!
prospered financially and the farm hal
/ increased in value. She will not con
test the suit filed by her husband.
II cannot leave the country" sht
made reply when he told her that h'
would apply for divorce on grounds
of desertion.
