rhs unspeakabIs Back yard.

Mankato Free Press: The reason for
speaking particularly of back yards
is that it has been amply proved ev-
erywhere that if there is any neglect
ed portion of the home premises it is
sure to be the back yard. If America
can take care OF her back yards, the
front yards will take care of them
selves.
Also, it is the back yard which is
capable of giving the greatest delight.
1t may furnish a beautiful and fra
grant bower, protected from the noise
and dust of the street and the OBJ
servation of chance passers-by. So let
us see to the back yard by all means
and let us begin by having what
Aunt Chloe calls "a clarin' up SPELL"
And above all get the children in
terested in gardening Let each child
have something of his very own, to
plant and to water to tend and to
love. The very great practical and
moral value of flower and vegetable
culture is now recognized in the public
schools. Children's school gardens are
are best of all.

RECEPTION TO
seniors TONIGHT
MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING
CLASS TO BE GUESTS OF HONOR
AT PARTY TO BE GIVEN BY Mr..
AND MRS. PERLEY-INTEREsT-
ING NOTES.

Following a performance Of Sheri-
dams famous comedy. The Rivals. by
| the seniors of the Moorhead high school
this evening, the members of the class
will be guests of honor at a reception
to be given this evening by Mr.. and
Mrs. George e. Perley at their beautiful
home, Ali Fourth avenue south. In

will be the superintendent and mem
bers of the faculty, members of the
board OF education and a few friends.
The reception will be strictly In
formal.
The personnel of the class Of 10 is
as follows: A. Rouel VIII. Viola Law

Enid Erickson, Grace Radford, James
Sharp, jeanette Johnson, Margaret
Newton, Maria Olson, Stella Lewis,

The class this year bears the dis
tinction of being the second largest
class in the history of the school, but
it only lacks three of being equal to tho
banner year which was in 1906, with
twenty-five members presented by
Supt. c. w Martindale. However, it
may be said that no class has won the
distinguished Donors for the school as
this one. Three of its members this
year succeeded in wrestling from the
high school league the state champion
ship for excellence in debate and an
other honor was won a day or two ago
when Miss Dart won first place in an
interstate high school declamatory
contest held at the agricultural col
lege, Fargo.

in 1883. 1886 and 1890, one each, re-
spectively Matthias Forsberg, now of
Ashville, N. c.; Nellie Glathart, de-
ceased; and Ed Fay, jr., the present
assistant postmaster. In all there have
been graduated 191 young men and
women from this high school, includ-
ing the present class They are spread
over many states and some are to be
found in foreign chimes. The strength

Grain Oninions.

Bartlett Patten & Co.: AS far as
the crop conditions are concerned we
can see no basis for a change in our
opinion regarding the long side of
September wheat. Short selling is very
popular and the temper of the great
majority of professionals at least con-
tinues bearish which gives us these
small set backs. We are inclined to
look for gradually lower corn prices.
S. B. Chaplin & Co: In the present
erratic state of the wheat market we
suggest a strictly scalping attitude.
The outlook in corn is for a narrow
market with lower prices if receipts
pick up materially.
Finley Darrell & Co.: While we
realize that pit conditions will prove
a very powerful influence in wheat
for the time being, we can see little
hopes of any permanent improvement
in the value of futures as from a sup
ply and demand standpoint out values
are inflated beyond all reason. We
can see nothing az tn ;:l0ment to en-
courage buying corn therefore rather
anticipate some further back in
price of futures
Logan q Bryan: There is a bearish
wheat situation offset only by the firm
stand of bull leaders with large con-
centrated holdings. There is the usual
amount of complaint about replantilg
corn, but those who know most about
the crop prospects are looking for an
enormous acreage and more beartsh
situation with good forcing weather
from this time on.
Shearson, Hammill & Co: Pess-
mistiC claims from Kansas were made
the most of, but the Constant improve
ment which has taken place of late is
smothered and appears to have no
place as a market influence. The weak
ness abroad is ignored and the indie
pendence of American farming eIe-
ment is made much of. Theories are
overshadowing facts, fear of manipu-
lation neutralizing the question of
values and the artificial dominating
the natural.
Clement Curtis & Co.: Despite the
favorable weather, damage reports
hold up wheat and unless the north
west gets more rainfall than it has had
so far. prices are apt to work higher.
Corn is in weak position and believe
the sale on all bulges.
