In Regard to Public Schools.

The law does not authorize the
endorsement of a teachers GER
titicate from another county or
state. The Legislature repealed
such authority in 1901, and
enacted a section prescribing a
penalty for issuing certificates
except on examination. This is
not an opinion of anyone, but the
law. The State Superintendent
of Public Schools has n~oauthority
to grant permission to endorse
certificates or to prohibit it.
The whole matter is governed by
statute.
The ninetieth day after the
adjournment of the Legislature
falls on Sunday, August 18th.
Inc law providing Tor county
supervision of schools will take
effect Monday, August 10th,
and the county superin tendents
can qualify under it or on after
that date by filing bond, taking

commission. The salary of the
county superintendent of schools
is based on the population of the

France Forced To Adopt Modern Forestry.
France will be destroyed for
lack of forests, cried one of her
greatest statesmen, and the
prophecy was very nearly full
filled. just fifty years have
passed since unprecedented
floods in the valley of the Loire
called the attention of the gov
eminent to the fact that the
Central Plateau had been almost
entirely denuded, that the fertile
soil was being destroyed, the
r%eseryoiring effect of the forest
lost, and a beginning made to-
ward the creation of a desert in
the heart of the nation.
Not only the Loire was affected;
on the Pyrenees the protection
of the Garonne was gone, and in
Savoy that of the Rhone. The
stripping of the trees on the
mountain sidesof Savoy released
the mountain brooks and turned
them into torrents. The bind.
ing roots rotted away, and tiny
streams became gashes, contin-
ually widening to chasms. Lit
orally the whole slope of the
mountain began to slide down
into the valley, impelled by an
unrestrained deluge of water.
The Rhone, always a swift
stream, filed its bed with NOV
ing grsgeland sand, and with
unprecedented rapidity exten
ded its delta out four miles into
deep water of the Mediterranean.
Navigation was impeded or rem
dered impossible; villages which
had grown wealthy on an order.
ly waterpower, awoke after a
storm in the mountains to find
their brook beyond control and
their streets piled many feet
deep in gravel and powders.
The prospect of the continue.
ton of such calamities aroused
the whole people. The engi-
neers, after experimentation,
discovered that in many places
masonry dams must be erected
at short intervals, not in order
to hold up the water, but to
check the decent Of the streams
bed itself. The reclamation is
still going on; and in many
parts of France public and pri-
vate energy is being concentrate
ed today on this work.
Three million acres of public
forest and fifteen millions of
private woods are now standing,
but there still remain sixteen
million acres absolutely barren,
much of which must be con.
quered by bunchgrass before
it can be planted in trees.
France has learned her lesson.
Her object now is twofold: to
preserve her rivers and noun
tains by forestry, and to provide
a domestic supply of timber.
She is achieving both ends
rapidly, and IS finding that her
utmost efforts are repaid prom
ply in actual cash returns

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child Of today is the parent Of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence Of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause OF trouble is in the
stomach: A baby that is digesting its
food seldom cries n always looks cheer
full: the little child whose stomach Is good
romps and plays and never whines; the
growing child learns well at school and Is
eager for fun II its head is clear and its
stomach light, and that means If 1t has
no constipation.
The best and safest a to cure any
~irregularity Of the stomach and bowels
in children is by the use Of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This y a liquid laxative
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John w.
Durham, Apple Creek, O., Mrs. H. L.
Cullam, Plainville, Ind, and numerous
others can testify who give 1t to their
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs so cents OF 81 ac-
one 50-cent bottle win do a wonderful
amount Of good in a family. II can be
given TO any member OF the family in
constipation, sour stomach. indigestion,
torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn, sick
headache and similar digestive troubles.
1t never gripes or strangles like pills,
tablets, salts and powders, which should
not be given to children, women or old
folks.
If you have a child or other member OF
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address to the doctor and a free trial
bottle will be sent 10 YOU home. In this
way you can find out what 1t viii do
without personal expense.

HdmIine Boys Welcomed.

A church with seats we'll filled and
a considerable residue overlooking
into the adjoining Sunday-school
room. greeted the Hamline glee club
last Friday evening. The represent
atives of Hamline responded with a
program that was both good quality
and good measure, made little too
long by the insistent recalls of the
audience which it seemed, could not
get enough from the Hamline boys.
Thesinging, while not extraordinary,
was good enough for a popular au-
dience, and the violin playing of Roy
Holmes was long way above the
ordinary amateur standard. The
part of the program that was most
universally enjoyed, was the college
stunts, introducing various comic
solos and the particularly gifted
Paderewsky caricaturist, whose
stunts kept his audience in a roar.
The young men as whole constitute
a good advertisement for Hamline
u, as representatives of wholesome
and joyous college spirit,

Griffin-Heimer.

About thirty friends and relatives
assembled at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John Heimer, in the south part
of town last Wednesday evening, to
witness the marriage of a daughter
of the household, Miss Edith to Mr..
Harry Griffin, also of Redwood Falls.
At the appointed time, the bride
and groom came into the parlor un-
attended, preceded by the officiat-
ing clergyman, Rev. Chambers, and
with the beautiful ring service they
were made husband and wife. After
the good wishes of the guests had
showered upon the bridal pair. a
bountiful supper was served. The
bride is very pretty. capable, low
able girl and the stalwart groom an
Industrious young man who is to be
congratulated on winning so good
wife. For the present. Mr.. and
Mrs. Griffin will stay at the Heimer
home.

Lid On at Belyiew.

The village council of Belview re-
allied the expectations of the tenn
perance element in and around that
village last Friday night, by voting
to refuse license for saloons the cur
rent year. From what we have
heard, the action Of the council rep
resents the attitude of the really
governing element of the town and
the overwhelming sentiment of the
farmers who trade there. This leaves
only two wet towns between Madi-
son and North Redwood on the M.
& st. L.-Wood Lake and Echo.
Frank Eddy estimates the result
throughout the state on the spring
elections as ten dry towns lost and
sixty new ones won, or a net gain of
fifty dry towns in the state.

A HUNT FOR
A LOST MAN
Young Man Twenty Years Old is
Worried and Mind Becomes
Unbalanced.
Leaves Peter Frederiksen'S Farm in
Shutdown aud Friends Fear
for His Fate.

Commissioner Frederickson was in
this city last Monday, for the pur-
pose of locating, if possible, the
whereabouts of a young man who
has been stopping with his brother,
Peter Frederlckson, and who left at
an early hour Friday morning, in
fit of insanity. The young man is
Peter Rasmussen, a native OF Den
mark who has lived in this country
only few years. Lately he has
been worrying somewhat because
tn ere seemed to be no demand for
his services on the neighboring
farms. and had brooded over it un-
til he became unbalanced in the
matter. He arose about 2 o'clock
last Friday morning and declared
that he must run away at once as
some one was after him. 1t hap
pened that some one fired a gun
from some distant farmhouse or
field, and the young man became
unmanageable and ran out without
even stopping to dress. 1t was af-
forwards discovered that he had
stored suitcase in one of the stacks
or outbuildings on the place, and
had dressed himself after leaving
the Frederickson farm. Both broth
ers used the telephone in an effort
to locate the fugitive, Commission
er Frederlckson securing the neigh
borhood with the hope that the boy
might be found before he had a
chance to hide or possibly make
away with himself. The next day
phone messages were sent to neigh
boring towns. Sheriff Schueller get
ting word and assisting in spreading
the news through the country. The
only trace of the young man discov-
cred up to yesterday, was a message
stating that man answering Ras-
mussen's description had been seen
about noon noon Saturday near one
Of the Dennistoun farms, about sew
en- miles south of this city. Should
any of the readers of this paper
hear of strange young man being
seen at any time, short and stocky
built, with very short neck, and
marked by a Discrimination to talk,
it would greatly relieve the Freder-
icksen brothers if the fact could be
communicated to them or to Sheriff
Schueller.

Bows at LambertOn Go Gardening.

Supt. Johnson of Lamberton will
try an experiment this summer
which will be watched with consider
able interest by the citizens of that
town as we'll as educators and others
outside of it's limits. The Lamber-
ton school man has secured a ten
acre tract of suitable land near that
village and parcelled it out for cult
walton among his boy pupils. who
are said to be as enthusiastic in
the project of taking practical
lessons in agriculture as is the pro-
fessor himself, who will put in his
vacation overseeing the work of his
boys in planting and cultivating the
tract. The school superintendent at
CANDY has achieved considerable sue
cess along this line and it will be a
good thing if the contagion spreads
to Redwood Falls, A strong point
for the project is that it will tend to
furnish occupation for boys who are
apt to raise something besides gar
den truck if not kept busy.

High Water Hits Marshall.

NeWS-MeSSenger.
This week nearly one-fourth of
the residence property Of Marshall
has been surrounded by water,
which has been the highest since the
flood of 1881, and several families
have been forced to abandon their
homes. The cellars of more than a
hundred homes have been filled and
partially filled with water, bringing
not only damage and discomfort,
but endangering health. With a
continuance of such damage, the
value of all property along the river
will greatly deteriorate.
There is already proposition to
straighten the Redwood river in the
bottom lands east of Marshall, and
if this is affected it will in a small
measure help the outflow of water.
But it will not greatly help the stu
alton in Marshall when an unusually
large volume Of water comes down
from above. The river through the
city and for a considerable distance
below should be dredged to great
er depth and width, and the channel
at narrow bridges should be wild
ened. There is good bridge at the
foot of Third street, but it is so mar
row that with high water the stream
above the bridge is foot higher
than below. and the water is forced
back until it surrounds dozen resi-
dences.

frank laps Gets Uptown Site and
Will Erect Concrete and
Brick Building.
Will Plan Garage for Autos in the
Basement and Machine
Shop Above.

Frank Japs last week secured
title to the tract on the corner of
Second and Mill street, for a down.
town site for his machine shops.
This is the tract used for several
years past for the stock sheds of the
fair association, and appears to be
an ideal location for a manufacture
ing enterprise of this character. Mr..
Japs has for some time realized that
his increasing business demanded
better and larger facilities, and
would be more likely to expand rap
idly with a downtown location in
stead of the one he has used on the
south side Of the railroad tracks. He
has decided to push the construction
of his new building as rapidly as
so as to be able to move within sixty
or ninety days. His plan is for a
building 30x50 feet to begin with,
the lower part to be a high base
anent of concrete, which will prob
ably be mainly used as a garage for
motor cars. which are already be-
coming so numerous in this vicinity
as to call for considerable work in
refitting and repairing. On this
basement foundation will be reared
the machine-shop proper, brick
veneered. the machinery to be
grouped in the rear so as to give
plenty of room in front for autos or
machinery left there for repair or
reconstruction.
Mr.. Japs has never asked for any
bonus or aid for his modest venture
in manufacturing. but certainly
deserves the moral support and pa
tronage of our people. Demands
for his services come from twenty
miles or more away, and his inten-
ton is to secure plenty of help to
promptly meet these demands es-
pecially during the busy times of
summer and fall.
