"The old Minnesota is nice body
of water and should be taken care Of"
said Captain DeN1ers "The farmers of
the valley should get together and they
would have no trouble in securing big
improvements to the river which would
return great benefits to them. AS it
is the farmers along the line are los
ing heavily through the floods every
year. / used to know the river we'll
so well that | made trips day and night
without any trouble, but there have
been great many changes in the course
of the stream since / was last on it.
There are places where the river chan
mel had diverted distance of two miles
from its old course, and that was cost
ly to many farmers. | hope to see
the day when the possibilities of the
old Minnesota are properly developed"
Mrs. j. HI. James gave an informal
talk yesterday afternoon at the high
school building to the teachers of the
public school at their regular monthly
meeting. Mrs. James subject was the
Civic Improvement league and its con-
nection with school work. and in this
regard Mrs. James felt that the teach
ers could aid by encouraging the pupils
i'm love for the beautiful. Children
realize as clearly as older people that
it is easier to accomplish results if sur
roundings are attractice and in har-
mony, but Mrs. James did not consider
that all of such teachings should be ex-
pected of a teacher, it was matter
that should receive the attention of
every parent. Children should be en-
couraged to take pride in the beau
tiful everywhere, in the home flower
garden, the well kept school yard and
clearly city streets and walks. 1t is
the plan of the lecture and literature
committee of the Civil league to give
the school children an opportunity of
hearing talks from time to time that
will help them i'm the forming of the
highest ideals towards all that is beau
tiful and harmonious in life at every
step of the way.
