1nasmuch as the "Ananias club" is
rapidly enlarging it's membership the
origin of its title should be placed
beyond all doubt by the formal action
of the board of directors. There are
three Ananiases mentioned in the New
Testament. Besides the husband of
Sapphire, there were Ananias Of Da-
mascus, the disciple of Paul. and Ana

somewhat inchoate organization.

the paupers is being adopted. The
farms are being rented to persons who
agree to also keep the inmates of the
home at a certain price per capita, the
Newton Record says: "The plan is un-
doubtedly great money saver, but the
temptation to the contractor to in
crease his profits at the expense of the
paupers is very great and unless
watched with the greatest care, the
system would result in cruelty ana

rhe Devil.

The Fergus Falls Daily Journal, has
the following to say of "The Devil',
which will be presented here Wednes-
day, Dec. 23:-
''The presentation of "The Devil'
by Ernest Fisher drew a crowded
house at the Lyceum Saturday eve
ming, and was one of the best plays
that has appeared here in several
years. This is said to have been this
company's first presentation of the
play, but the members are artists,
Mr.. Fisher himself being especially
strong. The scene Of the play is laid
in Vienna, and his Satanic majesty,
masquerading in human form, in
fluences the actions of the various
characters, making very strong
play. The plot is something new
and the play is a pleasant change
from the ordinary melodrama. 1t is
somewhat on the comedy order and
furnished ample scope for an excellent
display of talent. -

IMPROVING LIVE STOCK.
Plan for Organizing Community to
Secure Results.

Furnished by the Minnesota Far
mer's Institutes, st. Anthony Park,
ST. Paul, Mimi
An excellent plan Of organization of
community breeders associations is
being put forward by the Michigan
College of Agriculture. The plan is
to organize the farmers of the com
munity into associations, each asso-
citation to control 12O cows. One far
mer may put in 10 cows, another 20,
or any desired number. The asso-
citation is then divided into blocks,
each block containing 40 cows. Three
registered bulls are bought of the
chosen breed, and one placed with
each block of cows. The cost may be
prorated among the members accord
ing to the number of cows owned. At
the end of two years the bulls are ro-
tated, No. going to block II, No. 2
going to block III, and No. 8 going to
block I. Two years later the bulls are
rotated again, and two years follow
ing that the bulls are replaced by
three new ones. A service fee of
$1.O0 for members and $500 for nom
members is charged, thus providing
funds from which to defrsy cost of
maintenance and handling sires.
Applied to Pure BREEDS: While the
above plan is applied to system of
grading up native cattle, it can easily
be adapted to the problem of a
neigbborhood breeding of pure bred
stock, greatly reducing the cost of
pure bred sires and resulting in
center for high class stock. The Di-
vision of Animal Husbandry of the
College of Agriculture, st. Anthony
Park, Minn., will furnish rules and
by laws for such an organization and
otherwise assist in establishing such
centers in Minnesota.

MINNESOTA CANNED GOODS.
Put Up Under the otrictest Reguia-
sti0ns Regarding Purity.

Minnesota is the only state in the
union that has special law regnlat-
ing canneries. It has been in opera
ton two years, and has been of great
benefit to this important industry, in
addition to insuring the consumers
of Minnesota canned goods, these
products have been put up under the
supervision of the state.
Certain sanitary conditions are re-
quired in each factory, and where the
goods are canned under the supervi-
sion of an inspector of this depart
ment, the product may be labelled
minnesota Standard, Inspected and
Approved The cost of such inspec-
tion is borne by the owner of the
canning factory. Several local in
spectors have been appointed under
the provisions of this law, and large
percentage of the canned goods of
the state is put up under such inspec-
tion.
In addition to the work done by the
local Inspector, one of the state inspec-
tors has made regular trips to all can
ming factories, investigating general
sanitary conditions and instructing
owners and professors relative to the
requirements of the law. The inspec-
tor in charge of this work has made a
report of his findings to this depart
ment, and his report is part of the
biennial report which will be made to
the legislature Jan. 1, 1909.
The Inspector reports that no artifi-
cial preservatives, bleachers, colors,
or filters of any kind are being used in
the goods packed in this state. Water
cane sugar and salt are the only in
gradients added to the pure fruit or
vegetables. quote from his report
as follows: "The quality of the goods
packed this season is better than be-
fore, and of a uniformity not hereto
fore attained
A good idea of the extent OF, the
canning industry in this state may be
gained from a study Of the figures
compiled by the inspector. 2,724, 1870
cans Of corn, 531 $3.50 cans of peas, and
430,760 cans of. beans were packed
this season, in all 4,408, ,190 cans of

vegetables and fruit were packed in
1908.
With better appreciation on the
part of the consuming public of the
purity of the products canned in the
state will come greater demand for
them. This industry is destined to be-
come one of the great business enter
prises of our agricultural districts.

Concert on Dec. goth.

Morris people should bear in mind
the rare musical event which the
concert given by Miss Leonard and
Miss lHulburd will be. The date set
is Wednesday evening, Dec. 3Oth.s
The Grand Forks Herald has the
following to say of an entertainment
given there by these talented young
ladies':
sThe third program of the Thursday
Musical club was given yesterday
afternoon in the Library auditorium,
when nearly every member OF the
club was present to hear the beautiful
program arranged by Miss Leonard.
The character of the music through
out was dainty and refined. The
exquisite French songs sung by Miss
Leonard were all classical gems,
peculiarly suited to her voice and
temperament and were given with
a light grace and purity of tone per-
fectly adapted to the style of the COM
positions. Her trill is especially good
and her high pianissimo tones, SO diff
cult to most singers to execute, were
taken with perfect ease. Miss Leo
nard's easy, graceful manner and good
stage presence add not little to the
enjoyment of her excellent singing.
Miss Hulburd introduced to the an-
dience some piano numbers rarely
heard. From the difficult Fantasie
PoloDaise by Raft, to the Perpetual
Motion by Won Weber, every number
was handled with true mnsicianly
understanding and clever technique.
Miss Hulburd is an artist of whom the
club is proud and it is to be regretted
that her playing is not more often
heard.n

A social in connection with the
Christian Endeavor Society of the
First Baptist church was held on
Tuesday, Jan. 14th. About 100 young
people were present.
Solos were rendered by Miss Eta
SWEET, Mr.. Carroll Goodwin and Rev.
Mr. Frost. A humorous reading en-
titled "Mrs. Clegg and the widower"
was given by Mrs. Blunt. Mr.. Frost
read an amusing piece entitled the
"Pleasure Excersion,n Mrs. Dow,
president of the Y. P. s. G. E., recited
ia Russian Christmas" REGULATIONS,
readings and solos were all well re-
ceived by the audience.
A feature of the evening was small
sketch entitled 1.-THE Bachelors Solil-
oquy In pant 1mine. The trials of a
bachelor trying to procure a wife
through a marriage agency, are repre-
sented In dumb show. He ID present

The hero, with the well known taste
and penetration Of the bachelor spec.
les naturally chooses the young school
girl whom he proceeds to wheel home
nfrom London town" in wheelbar-
row. The young bride is deluged
with presents from the unsuccessful
candidates, to such an extent that the
barrow is capsized. The first tableau
caused much amusement. The bachel-
OF was seen reading the papers while
on a shelf behind live rat was vainly
endeavoring to reach the remains OF
a loaf of bread which its companions
were supposed to have almost de-
voured. The part OF the bachelor
was well sustained by Eugene Tarbox.
The matrimonial candidates, success
full and otherwise, were ably present
ed by the young ladies of the society.

E. N. Merrill for Senator.

In the Lewiston Journal of January
81 we find the following announce
ment regarding the candidacy Of E.
N. Merrill, Esq, OF this place for the
Republican senatorial nomination.
Edward N. Merrill will be candidate
for the nomination as senator from
the western part of Somerset county
in the republican convention next
June. Mr.. Merrill represented Show
hogan in the house of representatives
during the session of 1899 and again In
1905. Both times he was member of
the judiciary committee.
In the Democratic national con-
vention that meets In Denver in July
there will be 1,O02 delegates, assum-
ing that all elected, or their alter
mates, are present. No candidate In
that convention can be nominated
until he receives the votes OF two
thirds of the delegates, or 688 votes.
Bryan's adherents seem to be coming
to the conclusion that their idol can
not carry New York, and are getting
ready to politely drop him. To carry
the country 1t is absolutely necessary
thirty nine electoral votes. The Re-
publicans can lose them and still win.
Fruit growing belongs to farming;
indeed the two should go hand In
hand. Both can be carried on with
profit on the same farm. 1t is indeed
poor economy to attend to one inter-
est to neglect the other. There are
numerous places upon every farm
which fruit tree exactly fits, though,
for that matter, we never saw one
out of place anywhere. Space being all
utilized, expenses are reduced to the
lowest limit, and respectable in
come is virtually assured. A farm
without fruit is of little comparative
value. Let our farmers ponder this
these long evenings, and put it in
operation when tree planting time
comes.

Our Respect For Law.

with establishment the calm endurance
Of the woman suffragists recently turn
ed back in IN effort to take their cause
into the. privacy of the summer capital
at Oyster Bay. The entire suffragist
mission was conducted with a show of
decorum vastly different from the dem.
onstrations Of jealous suffragettes
which have recently marred the peace
Of British statesmen.
The suffragist party which attempted
to reach President Roosevelt was led
by a woman who is said to have par
dcipated in demonstrations against the
British house of commons and else
where in London. She found that the
usually accessible president Of the
United States has means of safeguard
ing his privacy. Had the tactics Of
the London suffragettes been followed
at Oyster Bay the presidents secret
service men would have had their ears
boxed, and perhaps there would have
been some window smashing, followed
by Incarceration in the local Jail. Aft
er all. it may be that u sufragists
gained more in being repulsed and in
accepting their repulse with calmness
and dignity than would have been DOS
sfbse had they been rough and obstrep-
erous.

The fact that heavy rains have
fallen this summer in certain locali-
ties when the government weather ex-

area Of observations yer to be ex-
tended. Temperatures and barometric
pressures are now reported from 200
regular observing stations in the Unit

present, however, the means for OBJ
serving and reporting weather condi-
lions on the Atlantic ocean are inef-
fective.
It is well known that at sea storms

will confuse the most careful reckon

turned north. and vagaries Of weather
