State fair politics have become so
heated in ST. Paul and there are so
many charges and counter charges
that strong under current has devel-
oped in favor of selecting some man
entirely independent of all factions
for the Office of president. The man
who seems to meet with the most fav-
or at this particular time is W. W. Siv-
right of Hutchinson. Mr.. Sivright,
altho a Republican, has been elected
to both branches of the legislature
from strong Democratic county. In
1906 he was chairman of the Republi-
can State convention at Duluth and
was model presiding officer. Mr.:
Sivright is man of conspicuous ex-
ecutive, ability; is square in every
thing, and the people of Minnesota
will have reason to congratulate them
selves if he is elected to any position
in the State Agricultural society. He
would have no enemies to punish and
would enter upon his duties without
having made any alliances that would
hamper him from doing his plain duty
as he saw it.

In addition to teaching the boys
these high schools hope also to be of
practical use to the farmers. The
following extension work will be done
free for the such of the farmers of
Mcleod county as may apply for it
either at the school Or at their home:
1. Farm and garden seeds will be
tested for purity and terminating pow
ers.
2. Whole, milk, skinned milk,
cream and butter will be tested.
3. Grating, pruning and budding
of apple trees.
4. Furnish information about weeds
and insects and how to destroy those
which are harmful.
5. Soil will be inoculated with bac-
terra for the purpose of enriching it.
6. Farm experiments concerning
feeds, fertilizers and farm crops will
be supervised. ..,
7. Test your dairy COWS.
8. Books, bulletins, catalogs and
general information concerning all
questions that arise on the farm will
be secured for farmers.
Write to the principal or, better,
see him or the instructor in Agricul-
ture about these problems. The school
may be reached, also by telephone,
The school at Candy also has short
course from 10 a. m. to p. m. daily
from Nov. 20 to Feb. %. It is "de-
signed primarily for those young peo-
pie who have discontinued regular
school work, but who desire to obtain
few lessons during the less busy
months of the year." The school at
Lewiston conducted last week a far
mers institute. 1t opened Monday,
Dec. 81, and closed Friday, Dec. 81.
The services of some of the best in
stitute workers in the State were en-
gagged. A few of the subjects treated
were: Importance of good seed;
Maintaining soil fertility; The home
apple orchard; Brands of dairy cattle;
Potato growing; Hogs; Silos and
Silage; What clover will do for the
farm; Diseases of the dairy COW; The
home vegetable garden, etc. In con-
ection with the institute there was
a woman's department in which lee
lures on plain cooking, cooking for
invalids, canning, etc.
The high school at Albert Lea made
this week notable demonstration of
the work its agricultural department
is attempting to do. 1t offered from
Jan. 3 to special short course in
agriculture and domestic science. In
connection with this it had an exhibi-
tion. l don't know how the thing was
managed, but this school offered to
successful competitors premium list
which in many departments left the
State fair far behind. I have only
space to quote few and they are
mere representative of the character
of premiums offered all along the line:
Best ten ears of corn-Indlana silo,
valued at 5000; second-Manure
spreader, $1U0.
Best half bushel early potatoes
Hand sprayer.
Best bread made at contest Mon
arch malleable iron range.
Best farm butter-Laurel range.
Best article on producing maximum
corn crop-Feed grinder.
Best article on essentials in the
training of girl for home making

Concluding an article in which Rev
J. L. Anderson of Hilisboro, N. D.
gives an account of a visit to
Grand Forks, Mimi, on the night of
October 3O-a1, 1909, he pointedly
asks, "What will the governor of Min
nesota do?" The inquiry is pertinent
as I will endeavor to show. For the
condition at East Grand Forks, how
ever, the governor alone should not be
held responsible. It has long been a
public scandal. The legal department
of the State is no doubt familiar with
it. III addition to asking what will
the governor do inquiry might well be
made into the Influences to which
Attorney General Simpsons surpris-
ing inaction may be attributed.

East Grand Forks, Mimi, is on the
east band of the Red River. Grand
Forks, N. D., is on the west side.
North Dakota is prohibition State.
In Grand Forks the liquor traffic is
outlawed. It has taken refuge in East
Grand Forks, the law of Minnesota
recognizing the business and within
certain limits legalizingit. The charge
made by the North Dakota pastor is
that the restrictions placed by the
State of Minnesota on the liquor traf-
fic is not recognized in East Grand
Forks, and the pastor paints vivid
picture OF his visit to East Grand
Forks on Saturday night before
election, saloons crowded long after

More than 5000 people, some of

I'm 1904. at the height of the football

RUGBY LAUDED
BY ~" PREXY

In a letter which has been sent out
TO all the college presidents of the
United States, David Starr Jordan,
president of Leland Stanford univer-
sity, California has set forth his ideas
on American football and Rugby
and takes occasion to boost Rugby and
register a kick on the changes which
have made the former game out of the
latter.
The only Objectionable features OF
the American game, says President
Jordan, are the very ones wherein II
differs from Rugby and the changes
embody the features of the game which
make 1T disliked and have aroused a
storm of protest in all parts of the
country.

a statement the other day that should
appeal TO parents as we'll as to the
city officials:
Il wish that the boys who would be
future men of Pittsburg would learn
how to box" says the Pittsburger.
There would be less bloodshed. less
manning of human beings, and If the
average man knew how to use his fists
In case of attack there would be fewer
assaults. A person who does not know
how to defend himself with his hands
Is likely to use the first thing he can
lay hands on when attacked and thus
commit a crime. One who knows how
to fight when he is attacked will all
ways be more careful than the fellow
who doesn't. BY all means, teach boys
