Daisy Court. of the Foresters is get
ting some mighty good material these
days. Since Supreme Deputy Riley
has begun to move about things have
put on better aspect. There were
six or seven elected members at the
last meeting, and there are more to
follow.
Seven members of the old Dilworth
court have sent their cards into Court
Daisy and they were accepted without
dissenting voice. 1t is a pity that
Dilworth court has ceased to do bust
ness as she ought to have done.
Daisy court has been very FORUM
ate in not having a death since the
court was established about a year
ago.
Mrs. G. L. Riley, who is the chief
ranger of the Daisy court and who
has been i'll for some time, is much
improved.
There will be meeting of Daisy
court on Friday evening of the com
ing week in the A. O. u. w. hall and
there will be work to do, while the
drill master asks all to attend and
take part in the drill.
At the last meeting cake and coffee
We're served after the meeting was over
and Chairman Rose of the entertain
ment committee pulled off several in
teresting and entertaining stunts.
Here's the way Deputy Supreme
Ranger Riley dishes out the dope to
the Foresters of the state and what
he says sounds good:
It is as much a part of our duty
to get applications as 1t is to pay
dues and assessments. Self interests
suggest 1t, and loyalty to the order
demands it. "A cripple is one who
has to be carried by others He is
burden, and not burden bearer.
And yet how many let others carry all
the burdens In fraternal society. In
working for the order one is working
or himself, because he is making his
protection more secure. Therefore, he
should be willing to do the work for
the selfish reason that he is giving
his dependents better protection. But
working for the order and widening
the circle of it's influence has this
further reward that one is doing some-
thing or his fellow men. That is
really worth more than all the prizes
ever offered. A member feels ii is a
good thing to belong. If 1t is a good
thing, why keep 1t to himself? Let
others who are worthy share In the
benefit. Nothing doing Is bad for
the order"

country and wherever found has proved
of great value in deciding many i'm
portant questions. This senate has no
real power, it's value lies in its repre-
sentative character and the fact that it
acts in conjunction with faculty and
trustees. 1t is hoped that is may prove
of utmost value at the college as such
an institution is needed there. Those
composing the senate are: Mr.. Pollock
and Mr. Horner from the school at
large, Miss Beckman, II; Mr.. Sings
by, IL; Mr.. Hildreth, 10, and Mr..
Sharp, IA. Mr.. Boise represents the
preparatory department.

The fraternal orders are a national
blessing. They promote thrift. econo-
my, sobriety, without freezing the soul
into selfishness, as is apt to be the case
in the usual struggle for wealth or a
high social position. They bring men
into closer social relations, and cherish
those feelings that thrive and put
orth blossoms in each others welfare.
They make men thoughtful and help
full expanding the sentiments of love,
charity and good will They teach the
religion that breaks bread to the
hungry, gives a cup Of water to the
thirsty watches at the bed of the sick,
visits the imprisoned, the fatherless
and widows-duties that are sadly
neglected, and for a long time were
supposed to belong to the church.

This evening, Feb. IL Fargo lodge
will have another of it's big meetings,
when a large class will be given the
instructions that always go with
big meeting. 1t is estimated that
there viii be at least eighteen to
twenty candidates and they have all
been prepared for what they are to
get. The meeting will be called to
order at 4 this afternoon and there
will be supper in the hall. followed at
1880 by the big meeting of the night.
1t is hoped that the afternoon will
see all of the business of the session
attended to, so that all that will be
necessary to do in the evening is to
look after the candidates, have the
supper at IL o'clock and see the big
social session entertainment.
A delegation is expected to visit Far

tend an invitation to No. 260 to attend

Crop Raisers Favored.

While there have been spells of
inclement weather through the fall
season, the lateness OF the freez-
ing-in season has been sufficient to
count in favor OF the crop raisers
of this section to an extent that
at this time nearly all the crops
raised have been taken care of. ex-
cepting sugar beets, and they are
practically all out of the ground
and safe from being frozen in for
the winter.
A considerable tonnage is yet in
the fields and stacked up at the
loading stations. but. all in all, the
seasons big crops have been saved
in a manner better than could have
been expected few weeks back.
Most OF the returns for the beet
crop are yet to come in. as we'll as
partial returns from other crops,
tho products OF which have been
shipped. while considerable amounts
are yet to be sold. More or less
fruits and potatoes are stored and
much of the grain remains in the
stack to be threshed.

The Mistakes of Education.

A young man says that he in
tends taking up scientific farming
as a business and wants to know
If he should go to college first and
take the regular academic course.
The best thing this young man can
do in my judgement, is not to take
q college academic course, but one
In civil. mechanical or electrical
engineering in some good exclusive
ly technical school. He should then
go out over the country. find some
successful farmer who is operating
on a large scale and go to work
for him at any price and study his
methods.
Any one of these branches OF en-
cheering will do what the academic
college course is supposed to do.
An engineering course will esta'b
lish the habit of straight thinking
in farming, business or any pur-
suit of life. An engineering is n
study of methods and results. The
academic college course assumes too
much respect for that which has
been cerated, rather than that which
might be created.
all is known, that 1t is all here and
all that Is necessary is to know 1t
by studying that which has been
discovered. The academic course as
sumes that all knowledge Is like 60
ing to a disecting room OF n medic
al college and studying anatomy.
Many young men who intend going
into business are making the same
mistake in studying law as those
who take the academic college
course. This is n mistake, for the
law is nothing but precedent, which
again teaches an over respect for
that which is. rather than that
which might be.
The law Is precedent and engin-
eering is cause and effect. AS to
the agricultural colleges: There
seems to be n tendency to instill

cation into the courses and culture

1t must be pretty bad to have to
live in a town like Montrose. Here
is what the Montrose Press said
about its town in an issue last
week:
Seems like things are running
fast and loose in town. One man
can get drunk and attempt to use
his knife on an innocent party;
another can be marked for Fleeing
in n gambling game by gang of
sports and he can use his gun for
protection, and yet there Is nothing
doing to restore order"
