and yanked up his breeches the audi
ence expected something and got the
value of their money several times
over. Doctor Cadman is Britisher
OF medium height andgood weight. He
appears Just like an ordinary we'll TO
do man of business and no one would
suspect him to be one of the greatest
pulpit orators and platform lecturers
of the times. But when he gets his
mind and voice in action there is some
thing doing. His style is neither emo
tional nor dramatic. He simply talks;
but he talks with ease and force and
sincerity. He is a scholar of wide in
formation and an orator of great
power. Much was expected, but more
was received. The Puritan Is great
theme and Doctor Cadman handled it
with great ability. 1t may be of inter-
est to know that he was born in Eng.
land, the son of poor Methodist
preacher. From the age OF twelve to
twenty-five he worked int mines nine
hundred feet under ground and during
those years he prepared TO enter col
lege. After the lecture he sat on the
steps and talked to little company

using that story to illustrate his theme
of double-faced people whom we find
among,allsclasses Mr.. MacMurray has
a splendid voice and is fine speaker.
In both preparation and delivery his
lecture was one of the strong lectures
OF the Chautauqua.

Some people think it made big money.
But we are sure it didn't. We hope
something was left over and we think
there was. No figures were given out.
The Bureau takes what 1t gets, pays
the bills and neither boasts of success
nor whines over loss. Taking the
whole season together it will probably
make fairly good money. Otherwise
ID couldn't afford to continue.

Champ Clark, Hon. Jacob Riis, Will

Better Get Rid OF Saloons

The Denison Review says that town
has a bunch of loud mouthed tin
horn gamblers, clique of boot leg
gers, a number of professional gamb'
lers and calls for twenty determined
men to get rid of them. If the people
of Denison would only get rid of the
saloons the other fellows would soon
move out.

Too Much Stability Now

Congressman Conner makes plea
for more stability in the teaching pro-
fession, so thatthe teachers may make
it life work. But to this a large per
cent of the teachers object. If there is
anything they do not want it is life
in the school room. They prefer to
be ladies in waiting-till they can
marry.

activities of the United States.
Mr.. Collins told of the time that
Horace Greeley visited Minnesota.
Greeley said it was a nice state

where apples could not be raised.
Mr.. Greeley had returned to Mime.

the main arch of welcome to him
were over thirty varieties of the
finest kinds of apples, which had
been raised in this state.
The speaker declared that Mimi.

was the worst in the world.

co. KS FOOTBALL TEAM
PLAYS RAPIDS TOMORROW
Local Militia Athletes Will Go to Grand Rapids to Stack
Up" Against Strong City Team Of That Place.
Hot Game Anticipated.

The Company K football team
will play its initial game for this
season at Grand Rapids Sunday,
when they will line up against
the strong city team of that place.
It is expected that the game will
be a heart-breaker, as the members
of Company K team are all big
men who have had some expert
ence in football and are strong men,
their only drawback being that they
are not in the best physical condi-
ton.
Grand Rapids has a big bunch
of old football players and that
town has the reputation of turn
ing out some of the best gridiron
stars in northern Minnesota.
The members of the Company K
team have been given some hard
practice during the past week and
are playing fairly good game, but
they are soft and their physical con.
dition is such that it will take some
little time yet before that will be
fit as fddles."
1t is believed, however, that they
will give a good account of them

the same.
The very best method I know
of maintaining soil fertility is by
using common barnyard manure
don't use artificial fertilizers, they
tend to ruin the soil instead of
maintaining its fertility" said Pro-
fessor Bull. RAISE clover; clover is
a great soil-fertility assister. Raise
clover and use plenty of barnyard
manure and your soil will be all
right"
Professor Bull stated the average
yield per acre in Minnesota of
wheat was given as 10 bushels, corn
80 bushels, oats 33 bushels. barley
So bushels and fax but 10 bushels.
The Yield in other states was much
larger. This state of affair was
caused by the fact that Minnesota
farmers did not properly maintain
the fertility of the soil and follow
diversified farming along up-to-date
lines.
At the experimental farm, we
are raising an average of 80 bush
els of wheat per acre, and other
crops raised there are much larger
than is the statistical average OF

The program at the fair yesterday
afternoon was one of the most inter-
esting events of the kind ever pulled
off in this section of the country.
Secretary Mackenzie and his
assistants put forth every effort to
please the crowd, that all present
would have something doing" all
the time.
Yesterday was Farmers Day"
and a strong array of speakers had
been engaged to address the crowds
on topics of interest to the farmer
and dairy man, their wives and
children.
The speeches were made from a
buggy Immediately in front of the
grand stand and the stands were
we'll filed when Secretary Mackenzie
called the speakers to the enclosure.
P.V. Collins, editor of the North
western Agriculturalist Of St. Paul,
was the first speaker. He spoke on
minnesota as the Great North
Star State and Her Possibilities.
Mr.. Collins started with the early
history of the United States and the
attitude of the early inhabitants of
this country to the west and north
western part of America. He told
how our forefathers, along the At
lantic coast, REGARDED the west as an
impenitrable wilderness filled with
swamps and unfit for the habitation
of man. He told of the gradual de-
velopment of the country and the
hewing of homes out of forests as far
west as the Mississippi river.
Gradually westward the Star of
the Empire wends its way until the
pioneer began to immigrate to Min
nesota. He told of the hardshipS
of those early settlers and their
earnest endeavor to develop the
country from the forest and un-
broken plain until the present time,
when it is regarded as the Bread
and Butter State" of the union.
Mr.. Collins told of the develop
ments of the Red River Valley and
how the railroads first entered the
valley, being convinced that they
would need miles of trestles to cross
the valley, which the Indians had
assured the railroad management
was miles wide and almost inpeni-
trable.
Mr.. Collins stated that when the
first No. hard wheat OF the Red
River Valley was marketed for
milling purposes, the millers at that
time considered it too hard to be
properly milIed, and they had to
find a special method of manufac-
turing this exceptionally hard
wheat, which was found to make
the best flour in the world.
There is no place on earth to be
compared, with Minnesota" said
the speaker. 1T has the finest
ozone, the most fertile lands, the
most beautiful lakes and rivers, anc
the most hospitable people" ..

than other states.

than other states.
Mr.. Collins gave as his reason for
low production of agricultural pro-
ducts per acre the fact that we did
not engage more freely in raising
livestock.
Mr.. Collins referred to the time,
! a few years ago, when James J. Hill
offered large prizes for farming con-
tests. There were over 600 entries
to this contest, but only ninteen of
the farmers enlered could qualify, as
one of the provisions of the contest
was that every farm which was en-
tered in the contest must have at
least twenty head of stock.
Turn the larger part of the grain
raised on the farm into stock-into
meat and dairy products. Feed the
crops to the stock-raise more stock, "
said the speaker.
There should be more intelligent
soil cultue. The value of dairy pro-
ducts today per acre in Minnesota
of the dairy farm is 1921 per acre,
while the average elsewhere in the
United States is over Sc. The farm.
ers of Minnesota should overcome
this by intelligent feeding of their
stock.
This is true of every other branch

beets in the world can be raised in
Minnesota, but the farmers are not
raising beets. The same is true of
beans, celery and other products.
Like the hand writing on the
wall at the feast of Belshazzer, the
farmers of Minnesota have been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting'-in diversifcation of their
crops. They have increased the
wheat crops instead of diversifying.
They should turn about. They
should not raise less wheat, because
the day of cheap wheat has passed,
but should diversity their crops.
Minnesota should conserve her
recources. The farmer is coming
into his own, but he should read
more farm papers, attend farm
schools, and mixing brains with
muscle, he will become the premier
of these great United States"
