CRooksToN PLANS SCHOOL
Will Erect Building for Needs Of Ad-
joining Districts.

Crookston, Mimi, Feb. 24.-The
Crookston Commercial club has
named a committee of eight to con-
fer with outlaying rural school dis
tricts with the object in view of a
consolidation with the Crookston in
dependent district. The Central
school, which almost adjoins the high
school, is in such a condition that it
has been necessary to brace the walls
to keep them from falling and two
rooms were declared unsafe by the
city engineer. ~. ~---< n
To make provision for the future,
and provide also for the lacest meth
DDS in domestic science and training,
the school board proposes to erect a
new and modern school building to
cost $150,0O0. BY Offering such adj
vantages it is believed that several
of the adjoining rural districts will
agree to consolidation, thus making
the one building suffice for many
years to come.
The idea is to have q line Of school
busses running in several directions
from the city, and give rural students
within reasonable distance from the
city all the advantages Of the latest
and best In education. This will be
the first experiment. BY city Of this
size in Minnesota.

The Dairy Cow.

The most desirable point regard
ing a dairy COW, is good, rich, and
pure milk; second, as large flow
of milk as we can get without de-
minishing the quality of the milk.
Cows fed on "The Clover Leaf
Dairy Farm" give an unusual high
test above that required by state
law, which is 3 LIZ per cent for milk
and 20 per cent for cream. Are
you getting milk and cream that will
meet the legal test? II not call at
schwandt and Marin and secure pure,
rich milk with an official test Of
4 5-1o per cent and cream "a per

county must hereafter comply strict
ly with the law governing the closing

Mrs. J. W. Naugle under whose
direction the class is working feels
highly elated over the progress thus

far met with furnishes plenty OF en-
thusiash to spurn them on to do
greater things.
Tomorrow Is .Crackerjack day as
will be every Saturday and a record

are still many people in Bemidji who
have not tasted this delicious con-

COLONIAL BALL GAY PAGEANT
Participants Dressed in Revolution
airy Fashions.

The posterity of which the Father
of His Country was always aware
celebrated the one hundred and
seventy-ninth anniversary of the
great birthday Wednesday night at
the Auditorium in St. Paul with the
pomp and dignity George Washington
approved.
The colonial ball given by the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton brought into direct association
a near event in Minnesota history
with the remote event that ushered
in the nation.
Instead of the Sibley house at Men,
dota, to preserve which the ball was
given, the stately home of the Wash
ingtons appeared in replica on the
stage. -.
The receiving party was in place
on the stage before 9 o'clock, and
after hundreds of gaily dressed men
and women had been presented those
who were attired strictly according
to the colonial fashions disposed
themselves in the garden before the
great house. That was really the
most charming picture the evening
presented, although there was vastly
more of animation later on.
The entrance Of General and Mrs.
Washington was heralded by fifteen
guns on the rear of the stage, the
audience standing while the band at
the same time played the ''Star-
Spangled Banner"
After the band played columbia,
the Gem of the Ocean"-by the way,
as it is seldom played-the dancers
formed for a minuet, which was led
by Major Samuel Sturgis and Mrs.
Archibald MasLaren, dancing on the
left, and Captain Sedgwick Rice and
Mrs. w. D. Mitchell, impersonating
General and Mrs. Washington and
dancing on the right.

St. Paul, Feb. 24.-George Ralph,

mission, is in the spot light
Two investigations as to his Off
cial conduct are under way as the re-
suit of charges made against him.
Speaker Dunn, authorized several
days ago by the house to name All

mittee as follows: Cleon T. Knapp,
Chisholm; C. A. Fowler, Minnea-
polls; Donald Robertson, Argyle; J..
J. Moriarity, Belle Plain and R. E.

II have delayed naming this COM
mittee,' explained Speaker Dunn,
"because l want to get men of I'M
prejudiced minds who would con-
duct an absolutely fair investigation
l believe the committee I have
named will do this
While this committee was being
named in the house, the senate unex-
pectedly "butted in, by naming a.
committee composed of Senators Muir

a seperate investigation.
April 10 will be the date of final
adjournment, if Representative D. p
O'Neil of Thief River Falls has his
way about it. Mr.. O'Neil will, with
in the next few days, introduce a
resolution naming the above date on
which the present legislature is to
die The senate has passed a resol-
ution naming April as the last day.
1t is likely that this attempt to
shorten the session will prove sue
cessful. The legal limit of ninety
days carries the session down to
about the middle of April The hop
pers of both houses are badly choked
with bills-many of the most in
portant measures are yet to be acted
upon. There has been little done so
far this week. Wednesday was
Washington's birth anniversary and
yesterday adjournment was taken
out of respect to the late Judge Jag
gard.

FACE SERIOUS SITUATION
Methodist Church Made IL Per Cent
Gain In 1910.

Spokane, Wash. Feb. 24.-"Every
member gained by the Methodist
Episcopal church in 1910 represent
ed an expenditure of $1,000 and a
property Investment of $1,000" de-
clared Rev. DR.. E. Blake of Chicago,
in an address before a convention of
Methodist Episcopal Sunday schools
of the Columbia river conference in
Spokane, which was attended by del
egates from all of the northwestern
states.
"The Methodist Episcopal church
is facing serious situation" DR..
Blake added. "The net gain in men,
bers was only 1887 in 1910, an in
crease of about IL per cent. This
convinces me that the old methods of
evangelism are not producing results.
We have never had more evange1ists
than at the present time and they
have never accomplished so little as
now. TIL weakness of modern evan
gelism is that it makes its appeal to
adults, when it is q matter of fact
that IS per cent of all conversions
are under 10 years of age. The
church must make its appeal to youth
and the earlier this is made the bet
ter the result will be for the church"
