Two New School Districts.

The county commissioners
granted the petitions asking for
the division Of Weller school
district at their last meeting
Weller was the largest district in
the county, consisting of about
four townships, and the manage
ment Of the district was very
satisfactory until Underwood was
established when differences COM
menced to arise between the
country and city which finally re-
suited in the division of the
district. The change creates two
new districts-Buffalo Lake and
Leroy.

Preserve the Moisture.

The practice Of dragging or
planking plowed ground as soon
as conditions will permit in the
spring is said to be a good one
two or three times at intervales of
a week apart ofdelay is experience
ed in seeding will not hurt, This
is the theory that is worked in the
west where dry farming is followed.
This preserves the moisture. AS
an experiment we would suggest
that some of our progressive farm
ers set aside five or ten acres that
was allowed last fall, or summer
fallowed and watch the results and
report to us the difference in yield.
if any, next fall. Who will volun-
teer to do this?

New Engines for Ferry Boat.

Henry Holtan and Frank
Thompson left for Minneapolis
Monday evening where they go to
arrange for new machinery for the
ferry boat Ruth Clarno. At
present the boat has two l2-horse
power engines and these will be
replaced with two 2l-horse power
Otto marine engines. While the.
operation of the boat has been
moderately successful yet the
question of insufficient power has
always been a contention and has
often laid up the boat during high
winds and has caused much in
convenience and has often retarded
people who live at a distance to
come to Washburn on business
trips. With the .remodeling and
arrangements that r now pro-
posed and will be made we should
have a first class ferry and much
good should result. During the
three years that the $500" COM
pany and the citizens Of Washburn
have operated this boat it has
been a leasing proposition financi-
ally-there having been an annual
defiencly of over $500--which has
been a heavy drain on our people:
it is now hoped that the boat will
need no further alterations and
that it will need no further alter
nations and that it will be- self
sustaining hereafter.

Plant Corn for Fodder.

The acreage planted to corn will
be greatly increased this season if
we do not misjudge the talk of a
number of our farmers. The idea
of planting corn is a good one and
every farmer who farms a half
section or more should plant from
twenty to fifty acres of corn. With
properscare and enough cultivation
we believe corn will bring better
results than any other crop that
can be grown where b, modrate
acreage is handled. The fodder
alone will bring better results than
any other crop that can be grown
where a. moderate acreage is
handled. The fodder alone will
more than reimburse the farmer
flor his work and quite generally
considerable corn will be raised.
Last year we noticed some ex-
ceptional corn fields around the
neighborhood. Ole Gradin had
about thirty acres on his Weller
farm that has given him enough
fooder for twenty-five head Of
horses and cattle all winter aud a
great field Of ear corn besides.

THAT STABLE DOOR.

From the pulpits of New York
city and in the newspapers of that
big town and also in those of every
portion of the country, great hue
and cry is now going forth against
the practice of permitting women
and girls to actively work in missions
for the spiritual salvation of the
heather Chinese. It's another case
of locking the stable door after the
horse has been stolen. A young girl
of distinguished family. mission
worker in the Infamous filth to be
found in Pell' and Mott streets, the
Chinese rendezvous in the metropolis
of the new world, was foully muir
dered recently by Chinaman who
had been discarded by her for an
other Chinese lover.
Society, the nation over, is ter
ribly shocked over this tragedy of the
| slums 1t would be Mortified if some
New York newspaper could print a
list of the white girls, devoted to mis-
sion work of this sort. who have
come to grief during the past few
years through the Chinese whom
they were teaching. This is not a
| pleasant subject to discuss but per-
| haps the only remedy for it is a uni
versal public demand that women
and girls of the white race be pre-
vented and prohibited from par
| ticipating in active mission work
among the Chinese. 1t is a fact that
Cinnamon will make believe that
they are interested in mission work
| for the mere purpose of having an
| opportunity to get acquainted and
| associate with American women.
Maybe the life and death of poor, un-
| fortunate Elsie Sigel will not have
been in vain, if her murder opens
the eyes of certain factions of the
! religiously inclined who have en-
/ couraged their daughters to sac
rifice their lives on the affairs of
/ Chinese lust. Not all of them have
been murdered. Many have suffered
/ worse fate.
i For the most part the Cinnamon
/ who have settled in this country come
/ from the lowest classes in China. and
/ that's pretty low. Their cunning and
i wiles are of the surprising sort. They
are bestial in instincts and inclina-
tions. If it is thought worth while
to attempt to save their souls by
turning their steps to the paths OF
Christianity, very good. But this il
work for men, and not for the flower
of American womanhood.

QUAKER MEDITATONs.

From the Philadelphia Record.J
It's always the other fellow who ,e-

The faster a man runs in debt the

would be sufficient.
