Judging from reports which come

that word OF warning should be

per cent of cement to give needed
strength and In the manufacture Of

material which will not withstand the

thrown away to buy them ard put

has resulted in the manufacture OF. an
inferior grade Of cement tile that is a
reproach to the industry and n worth

The verdict of those who have had

There is little wonder that sections
where alfalfa can be grown are thriv-

sissippi valley farmer whose location
Is none too favorable for growing this
legume had five acre patch the past
year. from which he secured three cut
tings averaging ton and half per
acre to the cutting He places the
value Of the twenty-one odd tons Of
hay from this patch at $500. while he
hopes to still further increase the value

Professor French

The patrons of the Peoples Lee

numbers Tuesday evening for the
second number of the course.
In his lecture on THE Wit and
Wisdom of the Crayon," Prof.
French illustrated the analogy be-
tween the composition Of painting
and that of an essay and a poem.
The lecture was replete with the
more vital suggestions of art, and
was at the same time mellowed by
an undertone of humor that was IT.

full and instructive entertainment of
it's kind ever given in this city.

AT the Normal School

The first program of senior rhe-
toricals this year was given before
the whole school on Wednesday aft
ernoon. Instead of being given
from memory the recitals were given
as talks. Mable Dodge gave an ac-
count of the Effect of Environment
as understood by Jacob Riis. She
told of the conditions that Mr.. Riis
found in New York City, and of the
efforts to improve them, concluding
with the thought that attention
must be paid to the living condi-
tions of people in large communi-
ties, for either we conquer the
slums or they conquer u.s." Miss
Belle Thompson explained the sig
nificance of the different movements
in Robert Schum AIMS THE Carni-
val," after which she played the
composition on the piano. Jose
phine Grips gave vivid account
of the ST. Paul Fire Department.
Miss Bots Beddall had for her
theme The War Against Disease, "
in which she spoke of the value of
health, and of the methods of secur-
ing it by scientific exercises. Miss
Ethel Houston spoke on The Value
of Dramatization, theme that she
made exceedingly fruitful. After
giving her ideas on the subject Miss
Houston gave delightful illustra-
ton of them by presenting drama
tization of the "Wooing Scene
from "Hiawatha" by pupils of the
seventh grade, who were equipped
with a tepee and dressed in Indian
costumes. The part of "Nokomis
