HoBoEs WANTED MONEY.
Italian Workman Attacked While
Alone in Bunk Car.


N About six O'Clock yesterday tyen-
ing an Italian workman for the o.
P. was returning to his abode, a
bunk car near the stock yards, and
was confronted by hobo who asked
the Italian for match which was
given him. Then the persistent hobo
asked the Italian who was getting
rather wobbly in the knees, II he had
any money. "No," was the answer.
The two departed, the Italian going
to the bunk car and the hobo join
ing his tie walking friend.
The Italian was awakened about
one o'clock a. m. by severe pound
ing on the door of the bunk car. The
midnight intruders, the bumper rid
ers, asked for admission. The Ital-
ian so terribly frightened did not
reply. Then the hobos began to
break in the window lights Of the
car 50 ferocicusly that the Italian,
who was now shaking with fright,
opened the door opposite the one
where the hobos awaited him and
fled.
Sheriff Young was called to the
rescue but could find no trace of the
hobos. The Italian still has his mon
ey but it is doubtful whether he viii
choose the bunk car for his lodging
place any more until some Of his
friends join him.

WARREN SCHOOL TO HAVE
STRONG AGRICULTURAL DEPART

At the meeting of the Board OF
Education on Monday evening, steps
were taken to secure competent
teacher to take charge of the agri-
cultural department, about April 1st
next. Such men are not very plenti-
ful, but by starting thus early, the
board hopes TO get a good man by
the time be is needed. One Of the
nrst duties Of tho teacher In agricpl-
ture. will be to superintend the
planting and improving of the
plot Of ground south of the court
house, recently purchased by the
board for agricultural demonstration
and experimental purposes.
The Board also decided to give to
the outlying school districts, on op-
portunity to come in under the law
passed by the last legislature, and
join the Warren school in maintain
ing an agricultural department, which
strictly speaking will be of greater
benefit to the country districts, than
to residents of the city. The law
provides that a small tax, not less
than one mill nor more than four
mills shall be LEVIED by the districts
Joining for the support of the agri-
cultural school. This will not a.
mount to much, and will be more than
counter-balanced, by the advantages
that will accrue to the pupils from
these schools. Not only will they
receive free of charge instruction in
agriculture, but also in manual train
ing and domestic science, and, besid-
es. the teacher of agriculture will be
at the service of the schools in the
country during the summer months.
and can be called upon by the farm
ers for help and suggestions con-
corning the work on the farm. He
will visit them in their homes, inspect
their farms, study the weed problems
together with them. and endeavOr to
make himself useful to the farming
community in many ways. Any dis
trict in Marshall or Polk counties, no
matter where located, can join with
us in this work. and receive these
benefits and privileges All that is
needed is a vote of the district to
ioin in this work. 1t is believed
that many districts, especially those
in the immediate vicinity, will want
to come in.

We are pleased to make an an.
nouncement Of great interest to many
of our friends, in the cities 'neighbor.
ing to Warren. Alter January first
new department in music will be
opened. Miss Anna HaSlund, q
music graduate, from the well known
Conservatory, at St. Peter, has been
engaged by North Star College. to
conduct music elias ses in our neigh.
boring cites. wherever there will be
students enough to maize it worth
while to do so. Miss Haglund, is well
known as thoro and conscientious
teacher; and not only that, but also
as splendid and able musician. We
feel proud of our splendid teachers in
all of our departing nts; and we feel
glad whenever We can, add new tai
ent, to our North Star College force.
That our good people have full con-
iidence in the work carried on, is
clearly evidenced by the large and in
creasing attendance in all depart
mentS.
After. this it will not be necessary
for students to come to Warren to
y mn A
beginning can be made at home. I'M
der the efficient instruction of Miss
Haglund There are several rea.
sons why it is better for a student
to enroll as a student of North Star
College. The one who takes some
work wants to have something to
show for it, No private instructor
can give any evidence worth while:
but work pursued under the super
vision of school, is recognized in Il
number of ways. The fact that a
person is or has been a student of a
we'll known institution, that fact alone
adds influence and prestige. The
name gets into the school catalog,
certificates and diplomas are granted.
and the student is helpe1 to secure
work.
These and many other reasons
make it of special personal interest.
TO enroll with North Star College.
1t might be we'll to Ioint out one
more advantage resulting from TAX
ing work from college teacher: the
work will be better graded and super
vised, and it will be easier to con-
tinue with more advanced work.
There will also be greater interest,
and therefore greater ambition to do
really good work.
Work will begin after January first
All interested should write to North
Star College.

RED CROSS STAMPS

AA0 AmST1cdu lieu cross, WQOSt
Christmas Stamps are familiar
feature of the holiday season in every
community of the United States, is
the greatest relief organization in the
world. The sale of Christmas Stamps,
which last year amounted to more
than $l50,O00, is but an incident in the
sum of it's extensive activities. It is
the accepted almoner of tile American
people when any community suffers
from an overwhelming calamity.
Since its reorganization under a
special act of Congress, in Jan. 1905,
the Red Cross has expended an aver
age of more than 100000 a year in
relief operations. The foundation
upon which this great organization is
established, is found in the Charter
given by act of Congress which, in
defining the purposes of the Red
Cross, says:
ITO furnish voluntary aid to the
sick and wounded of armies in time
OF war;" and, ITO carry on system
of national and international relief in
time Of peace, and apply the same in
mitigating the sufferings caused by
pestilence, famine, fire, foods and
other great national calamities, and
to devise and carry on measures for
preventing the same"
It will be noted that Congress in.
tended that the Red Cross should not
confine itself to the relief OF suffering
caused by calamity. but that it should
devise and carry On measures for pre-
venting calamity so far as practicable.
It is under this provision of it's Char
ter that the organization is undertak.
ing its fight against tuberculosis.
As the holiday season draws near,
the. enthusiasm for Red Cross Christ
mas Stamps is increasing. Almost
every Women's Club in the State is
actively promoting the sale of these
stamps.
The President of the State Fedora
ton Of Women's- Clubs. Mrs. c. G..
Higbee, has visited quite a number
OF Cities p the northern part Of
the statesan the interest Of the Red
Cross Chstmas Stamps. and reports
that prospects are favorable for IN
,unprecetentsd3y large sale. Mr..
Christopher Easton, the Executive
Secretary: Of the Minnesota Associa-
ton for the Prevention and Relief of
tuberculosis, has been touring the
southern district of the State, and
finds the same conditions.
In Duluth, it is planned to interest
the public by means of Open.air Ster-
optican Lectures. at which specially
prepared Red Cross Slides will be
thrown upon the screen.
The headquarters of the American
Red Cross at Washington. D. c., has
already received such large orders
for printed advertising matter, that
shipments have been somewhat delay
ed and hence, every town in the State
which has not yet made arrangements
for the local sale of these stamps, is
requested to write without delay, to
the Minnesota Associations for the
Prevention and Relief Of Tuber-
culosis, st. Paul, Mimi, which has
hem appointed sole agent for the
State of Minnesota.
1t is expected, that the. stamps
shall be placed on sale simultaneous
