Helena, April 20.-The Helena city
council at an executive session last
night decided there shall be no in
crease in the number Of saloons in
Helena and took action looking to the
reduction from IS, the present num-
Der, to 81. The IS limit, or less, is to
remain in force until the city shall
have a population of 275O0. There
after one license may be issued for
each additional 500 of population. The
maximum number of saloon licenses
may be reduced by revocation, or fall
ure to renew and in that event, the
remaining licenses shall be the max
imum number until such a time as
the total saloon licenses in force will
be equal to one license for each 500
persons.
Following out the policy of the reso-
luton, two applications for licenses
were turned down.

the university for an entire county.
No one knows better than | how eager
our farmers are to learn and to i'm
prove their condition. Let our pro-
fessors therefore conduct practical
on the farm itself, and
by word of mouth convey new ideas
to the hundreds who are sure to come
and watch what is being done.
Minnesota farmers support the
agricultural school, and their loyalty
to it Is 50 great that nothing the
school might ask would be denied In
each Of our 81 counties and in every
county of these northwestern states,
agricultural college experts should be
handling demonstration tracts show
ing the farmer in a practical way how
to select and plant seed and conduct
his agricultural operations. These
men should supervise the farm dairy
barns. When such a system is in OPP
Grafton we shall have no farmers like
one in western Minnesota, who, within
a few months has learned that for two
years he has been boarding one-half
his dairy herd while the other hall
paid the bill He weighs his food
now, and has no cows that do not
show by the ledger that they are max
ing money.
Our farmers are doing the best they
can. The state is making magnificent
agricultural progress. What is needed
now is the work Of the experts to show
the farmers how to stop their leaks
Farming can be made as much as BUSH
ness as grocery merchandising and
these are the men who can bring the
transformation.
Those who can attend the schols
should be given the best We can afford
them, but in the northwestern states
where agriculture is our industry,
something more should be done and
at once for the hundreds of thousands
who want to learn and cannot because
there Is no one to teach them"

SEVERELY ARRA|CNS
ITS METHODS
PRESIDENT OF COMMERCIAL Or
GANiZATlON ATTACKS THE
SCHOOLS TACTICS.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 20.-In a Sc
we're arraignment of the methods Of
the Minnesota state agricultural COL
lege, an immense institution affiliated
with the University of Minnesota, and
other agricultural institutions, Presi-
dent D. M. Neill of the Minnesota
Federation of Commercial Clubs, a
state promotion association, declares
that the methods of the schoolmen are
wrong and that their instruction should
be carried to the farmers on their in
dividual farms. Agricultural instruc-
ton under present methods, he de-
clares, fails to benefit those who need
it most.
The farmer cannot come to our
agricultural college," said President
Neill in an address at Lake City. He
is too old, he lacks time, he feels the
embarrassment of seeking knowledge
among boys and girls. Yet no one
needs the work of the agricultural
schools as much as he. The schools
are missing an opportunity of doing
splendid work. The state college is
overlooking a work that will bring
more wealth in dollars and cents to
Minnesota, more progress and uplift
socially and Intellectually than any
thing it has ever done. The agricul-
tural college should go to the farmer
in fact and not in theory. Some of
the boys and girls from the farm can
attend the state institution, but how
about those who cannot, who are
obliged to work, who seek a better
knowledge but are condemned to the
plow and the dairy barn?
These colleges have practical men
They have experts in all the special
departments of agriculture. These men
should go out over the state. seeking
the acquaintance of farmers and
working with them on the farms. One
five-acre tract, plowed and planted
cultivated and harvested under such
personal supervision could be made

Among the boys Poe was a master

greatly increased his prestige.
1t has seemed from time to time,
however that the majority of these

BY MRS. THOMAS L. RIGGs.

By MRS. THOMAS L. RIGGS.
Just what do we mean by this? Has
the Indian any idea of homer" What
is your idea of home? To-some OF you
doubtless the word signifies some
particular house, perhaps where you
lived when, a child; to others it means
some particular locality; to others the
word brings the thought of the family
circle. In one of his earliest books
Father Riggs wrote, "The Dakotas have
no word for home-with no fixed habi-
tation for the most part, the idea Of
home is wanting" Ny own early life
was spent in the army; we had mo fixed
habitation;" my father was sent hither
and yon, as the exigencies of the the SER
vice demanded, and my mother and her
little family accompanied him. AS | look
back upon this time wherever we were
located seems home, whether in rough
slab house at frontier post or in the
more pretentious quarters of the eastern
forts, no matter what the outside sur
roundings, father and mother made for
us home where God was honored and
love reigned.
1t seems to me that the Indians do
have some of these ideas of home. Just
as our word home is from the Anglo
Saxon, ham, dwelling, so their word
for tent or house means dwelling place.
Wherever camp is made the Indian
woman with def hands and wondrous
celebrity pitches the tent, arranges the
household goods, the robes and blankets
for the beds, the dishes, etc. The fire is
quickly made and the meal prepared, the
family gather around and it is home for
the time being.
You remember what Ruskin SAYS,
"This is the true nature of home, it is the
place of peace"
The woman is the home maker. How
can we teach the Indian woman the
deepest, truest meaning of home, how
can we help her in the making of the
homer We must teach her the sanctity
of the marriage relation, teach her to
honor God in the family life. In their
old life the Indians did not fail to recog-
nze the supernatural, but their gods
were those to be feared and propitiated.
They must be taught of the God of love
who is with them in their homes, who
loves the little children and who is ever
ready to be their help and strength.
They must be taught the Necessity for
cleanliness and order, how to train the
children to lives VI obedience and useful
ness, and this must be done by personal
work with the older people in their
homes as well as with the children in the
schools.
The family of the missionary is a most
powerful factor in the teaching of the
making of the home. 1t is an object
lesson of inestimable value and one
which the Indians are not slow to
recognize.
We have great many who in their
quiet lives at home are showing the
Transforming power of the Gospel of
Christ Vermont Missionary.
