One of the funny things in life took
place last Saturday evening in Funk's
barber shop. A customer after being
shaved reached for his hat, but it was
not there. He said he wore a straw
lid, but a new felt cover was the only
one in sight. Detectives were coralled
to go out into the highways and hedges
and bring in the man who had taken
to wearing straw, but the search was
in vain. The aforesaid owner started
home hatless, but Oscar Wurst, the
Observation-Disclosures, kindly furnished
a lid. To make a long story short, the
shaved customer found his straw lid
at home and the new felt lid at the
shop was his own. Ha, ha. Ask VIM.

Crookston, June 26.-Another

FOREST FIRE NORTH -.
:. OF. LAKE IS CHECKED
Forty Acres Of Slashings and Second
Growth on the Turtle River
Road Burned.

Fire wardens succeeded in stop
ping the forest fire which has been
burning for over two weeks north
of the lake on the road to Turtle
River. Despite efforts to check
it, the fire steadily advanced
through the slashings north of the
road until Saturday and Sunday.
About forty acres were burned
over.
A steady breeze was blowing
from the north yesterday and that
with the draft of the fire made a
current strong enough to carry
the flames across the road. In
the afternoon, back fires were start
ed along the road and when the
fire reached the burned district, it
gradually died out. If it had not
been for a fortunate shift in the
wind from north to west, the fire
would surely have crossed the road
and might have burned down to
the lake. ri q
the area burned over was logged
several years ago and the slashings
left on the ground. The pine and
birch burned was second growth.
Several days ago, Fire Ranger
Shannon had warned the farmers
clear up the slashings, but the
work was not done. 1t is expected
that the fire will burn out today

CHRISTOPHER PLAGUE
IN RED RIVER VALLEY
Farmers Fight Insect Pest with Hop
perdozers''- Land Should Be
Plowed in the Fall.

St. Paul, June 2O-In an effort to
to get rid of the plague Of grass.
hoppers which has infested the Red
River valley, fifty "hopperdozers''
have been put to work. Hopper.
dozers are large galvanized pans 16
feet long, 21z feet wide and 4.inches
deep, mounted upon runners. These
pans are filled with water, over
which is poured thin film of
keorsene. Two horses, one at each
end of the continuance drag it over
the infested area. The grasshoppers
are stirred up by the trampling Of
the hoofs and hop into the tank, the
slightest touch of the oil being suffi.
cient to kill them.
The trouble" said F. L. Wash
burn, state entomologist, comes
from the existence of hundreds oil
acres of unused land, lying idle fol-
purposes of speculation, where grass
hoppers lay their eggs in enormous
quantities. Farmers do not realize
that by lodging complaint against
land in the autumn with the ento.
mologist, the law gives authority to
him to have the land plowed. This
destroys the eggs and prevents the
increase in the number of "hoppers. .
We are doing all we can to help in
this crisis, but the farmers should
notify this office in the fall so that
we can order the land land plowed
in time to prevent a Recurrence of
the plague next year"

FARMERS ADVISED TO
PLANT FODDER CORN
Authorities Say to Plow Up Hay Fields
As Crop i. Probably Ruined
By Drouth.

Farm authorities everywhere are
advising the farmers to pillow up
their tame hay fields and all such
other ground as they can and plant
fodder corn at once. They say that
without doubt, the prolonged heat
and drouth have ruined the hay crop
and that this is serious thing for
the stock and dairy farmer.
The authorities say to prepare the
ground as thoroughly as possible by
blowing, dragging, and discing and
plant from one,half to three-fourths
of a bushel to the acre. Fodder
corn properly cared for will take the
place of hay crop and thus enable
the farmers to keep their cows.
Farmers are advised not to sell
their cows. but to plant fodder corn.
The drouth is general over the coun-
try, so that farmers are warned not
to count on buying hay this winter.
Stockyard receipts in South st. Paul
show that many find themselves
unable to keep their cattle over the
dry spell and the market is glutted.

SCHOOLS NEED MONEY
SPENT ON lUxuRIES
Statistics Show That Amount Given to
Education is Small Compared
With Liquor Bill.

In 1867, the total expenditure
for education in the United States
was SAP. 100000. At that time
about 100000 pupils, were en-,
rolled in schools and colleges of
all grades. The average cost of the
education of each pupil was about
1928. For the same years, the
average expenditure for text books
was S12.OOO,OOO or o3 cents per
pupil. For every dollar spent in
education, two cents and seven
mills went for text books.
These figures are contained in
the report of the United States
Commissioner for 1908 and have
just become available. The American
Book company has just published
book by Golf and Mayne which
gives an interesting summary of the
way in which Americans spend
their money. The summary is based
on the Commissioners report.
1t will be seen from the table be-
low that more money is spent for
liquors than for any other one thing.
More is spent for liquor and tobacco
than for all the other divisions put
together. 1t will be noticed that
the subjects given in the table are
not necessities of life. In the light
of the recent agitation for better
state schools for agricultural educa-
ton, the figures given are interest
ing. They show that there is plenty
of money spent on luxuries that
might be put into schools.
The summary is quoted below:
