Two Anniversaries Today.

Today, Wednesday, May 18th.
marks the 72nd birthday of that
well known printer, Mr.. c. J. Ambli,
of the Poster force, and he was
passing cigars around today to his
many friends. Mr. Ambli is hale
and hearty, and bids well to see
many more birthdays, which we all
sincerely hope. He has been prac-
tically a lifelong employe of the
Posten and still works at the case.
Another employee Of that well
known office, Mr.. NJ. o. Dalvey,
celebrates his 30th anniversary to-
day as an employee of the Poster.
He began work there May 18th,
1880, learning to set type, also did
the mailing and took care of the
presses, but for many years past has
been the chief sterectyper of the
Office
We congratulate both of these
gentlemen and wish them many re-
turns of the day. Surely they have
seen many long years of continuous
service in one office, but their time
has been spent in one of the finest
printing offices in the country, and
We venture TO say that the years
have been pleasant ones.

Dorothy, the maid of all work in

as being about the cutest bit of

fun. The comic song Jokes" sung
by her and the comedy duet "A

enthusiastic character.
MAS New Husband" is a music

gentlemanly set of base ball players
and, besides, they are playing good
ball this year. Luther's record has
been a brilliant display of victories
throughout the season, having suf-
fered but one defeat from the hands
of an opponent. Carleton comes
with a strong determination to stem
the onward slaught of Luther's in
vincibles, and will make the dust
fly, but only to fly in vain. The

Sowing the Wind.

Do Iowa republicans realize what
it would mean to break the party
precedents of fifty-four years in this
state and turn down a governor
who seeks denomination for a sec
ond term? 1t would mean that it
is a notice to every state official and
every county official elected to a
first term this fall that he will have
to fight for a denomination two
years hence. 1t will be notice to
every aspirant for a state or county
Office that the old rule of two terms
without contest is to be abandoned
and that any man lucky enough to
get into Office will have the same
fight TO do over in two years. If
the head of the party in the state,
who has done his duty as govern
or and has been fair to ali elements,
does not earn a denomination with
cut a fight then the candidates
lower down in state and county
cannot expect to have that courtesy
shown them. People who vote to
break the party precedents of two
terms in the case of Gov. Carroll
are building trouble for their own
friends who may get into office this
year or two years from now

The RAIN SPO|LS EVENT
Drilling Rain All Day Yesterday
Prevents Outdoor 18th of May
Celebration.
BASE BALL THIS AFTERNOON
Elaborate Celebration Planned For
Yesterday Only Partly Carried
Out and Outdoor Events
Postponed Until
Today.

No matter how dry the season
may be, it is a pretty sure PROPOSE
ton that it will rain on the 18th OF
May. Several times during the past
few years our Norwegian citizens
have been hindered in celebrating
the anniversary of their native
country's independence by storm,
and yesterday was no exception to
the rule.
The plans for the celebration this
year were more elaborate and ex-
tensive than for a good many years,
and although the rain was badly
needed and great blessing to the
country, yet it was a bitter disap-
pointment to those who planned to
participate in the days festivities.
The first indications of rain came on
Sunday afternoon, and Monday and
yesterday the steady, drizzling rain
put a damper on all the plans for
outdoor events, and prevented the
large crowd expected from coming
into the celebration. The presence
of Owe GUIDE, United States Minister
to this country from Norway, Prof.
DR.. H. G. Stub of Hamline Semin-
airy, Rev. Ylvisaker of Mayville, N.
D., and the st. Olaf College tennis
and base ball teams were all great
attractions, and there would un-
doubtedly have been a large crowd
here had the day been pleasant
In spite of the weather the two
college bands consolidated and
marched through the streets under
the direction of Prof. Carlo A.
Sperati in the morning, playing
beautiful music, and were followed
by large number of Sunday School
children carrying United States and
Norwegian flags. Marching to the
college auditorium a program of
exercises by the children, music and
speeches followed, after which some
of the visitors enjoyed a picnic din
ner, and in the afternoon the pro-
gram was carried out in the audi
forum. Minister GUIDE was still
suffering from severe cold, but
spoke as best he could under the
circumstances. being greeted with
great delight by large audience.
Splendid addresses were also made
by Prof. DR.. H. G. Stub of st. Paul.
and Rev. Ylvisaker of Mayville, n.
d. The program was interspersed
with music by the college band and
chorus.
The tennis tournament between
st. Olaf and Luther College could
not be played on account of the
weather, and had to be Indefinitely
postponed as the team have a date
today at Cedar Rapids.
The base ball game will be played
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, and
if the weather is favorable the open
air concert will be given this eve
ming.

The proposed constitutional amend
ments in the interest of the public
schools of the State deserve the 10y
al support of every voter. 1t is hoped
by their adoption to provide per-
manent and fixed revenue for the
schools and establish them upon a
more satisfactory basis. A vote for
the school amendments is a vote for
better educational facilities. Believ-
| ing as we do that more and better
educational advantages are neces-
sary in order to insure good govern
ment and the development of a
more ambitious citizenship, we urge
the adoption of these amendments.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

The College of Agriculture of the
Louisiana State University, with the
view of offering every possible ad-
vantage Of practical nature to the
farmer and stock raiser OF the State,
has established a school at Baton
Rouge, known as the Farmers Short
Course, the purpose of which is to
give instruction in agriculture in its
several relations along modern and
scientific lines. The course lasts
some ten or twelve days and is OF
utmost benefit to all who attend.
The session last January was well
attended by representatives from
some twenty-odd parishes, and the
forthcoming term, to be held Janu-
airy 9th to 21st next, should have
much greater enrolment and in
clude representatives from every
parish in the State.
At a meeting of the farmers and
others interested in agriculture who
attended the Farmers Short Course
offered by the College Of Agriculture
of the Louisiana State University,
held at the Istrouma Hotel, Janu-
airy Is, 1910, at which all the farm
er-students were present, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted to-wit:
Whereas, we believe that the
Farmers Short Course, offered jan
uary 10 to %, 1910, by the College
of Agriculture Of the Louisiana State
University, is a move in the right
direction, and feel that it will prove
of incalculable benefit to US who are
in attendance; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we hereby express
our appreciation of the instruction
given BY the faculty Of the college;
that we firmly believe that the best
and most practical results will come
from our attending the lectures.
taking part in the practice work,
and witnessing the demonstrations
which formed part of the Short
Course.
Resolved, That we express our
gratitude to the faculty Of the Col
lege for the many courtesies extend
ed to US during the course, for their
readiness at all times to help US in
every way, and for their kindly ef-
forts to make our attendance at the
College both profitable and pleasant.
Resolved, That the thanks Of this
meeting be extended to the railroads
Of Louisiana for the encouragement
given the Short Course movement
by offering reduced rates to those
attending.
Resolved further, That we hereby
commend the Short Course to the
farmers of Louisiana, their wives,
sons and daughters; that we know
the course to be inexpensive and in
structive; that we believe it will
pay in dollars and cents any farmer
to attend the Short Course; and
that we feel the course to be 80 val
liable that no progressive farmers or
others interested in Agriculture in
Louisiana can afford to be absent
from it in future years.
Resolved, That we hereby pledge
our support to the College of Agri-
culture in the upbuilding of the
Farmers Short Course, believing
that it will prove one of the most
effective agents yet devised for spread
ing a knowledge of scientific and
practical agriculture amongthefarm-
ers of Louisiana; and, finally, that
copies of the foregoing resolutions
be forwarded to the newspapers of
the State for publication.
