MINNESOTA TO SELL
READY MADE FARMS
Experiment. to be Tried Which vii
tend to Increase the Population
of the Rural Districts of
State.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. April g. Mime
sofa is preparing to try an entirely
new plan in the sale of unimproved
lands belonging to the state and it is
believed the experiment will be watch
ed with interest by other states hay-
ing lands for sale as inquiries have
already been made.
The house of representatives al
ready has passed bill which pro-
vides that ten separate forty-acre gov
/ eminent subdivisions shall be Sc
| lected by reclamation board to be
appointed by the government and
that half of each of these forty acres
shall be cleared of stumps and other
wise improved so the twenty acres
shall be ready for cultivation. The
actual cost of this improvement is to
1 be added to the appraised value of
/ the land and these farms will then
be sold on the installment plan.
/ Minnesota is the first state to try
/ this plan, which has every assurance
{ of adoption, as no opposition is eX-
pected in the senate and Governor
/ Eberhart is certain to sign the bill.
4 1t is argued that ii will be great at
4 traction to settlers to move onto a
| forty acre farm with half of it ready
4 for the plow. 1t is hard and tedious
twork to clear cut over lands Of
takes tract of unimproyed land it is
1 months before he can begin to realize
| any profits from his investment. II
lis a hard existence for some families,
but under the new ready made farm
4 plan which Minnesota is soon to adopt
4 a chance will be given to the settler
Ito realize a profit from half of his
/ land the first year of his purchase. 1t
! is the plan of those who are behind
the bill. Representatives Lennon,
Dunn, O'Neill, Webb and Mackenzie to
experiment with the ten forty-acre
/ tracts and if ii is found to be a practi-
cal idea, Minnesota may in the future
sell all of her state lands with half
| of the tracts improved. The presens
| law provides that one fifteenth of the
| purchase price Snali De pald III al
vance and that fifteen years be given
| for payment of the balance. The state
/ can clear the lands cheaper than the
4 individual and do better Job and the
advantage of having half of the farm
ready for cultivation without awaiting
4 the time needed to clear it is one adj
vantage that offsets the increased
cost
Minnesota has suffered from the
false idea that prevails in eastern
states that she has no unimproved
lands for sale and many persons
have passed through this state to
states farther west when land that is
as good as any that lies out of doors
awaited them right here where trans
portation facilities, the best school
system in the country and the lowest
tax rates were available. The lands
that are to be sold under the new
plan have soil that is unexcelled for
raising wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye,
flax and hay.

/ brought happiness 60 many hearts and
/ homes, many fond recOllections of the
past, many nice gifts from friend and
friends, many glad little hearts are re-
/ joicing oven the presents sold Santa
has given them. and it makes me glad
to see the little ones enjoying the X
mas so much.
While on the other hand we know or
believe there are little ones around us
who we're forgotten by Santa. 1t
makes our heart ache to think of few
children who are so unfortunate as to
have narents that cannot, or viii not.
bring gladness to the hearts of their
little ones this Xmas. There are faith
els who will get drunk and spend what
little money they have for ''booZe'
and their children will go without
single thing to make them remember
this Christmas, except profane,
drunken father and the weeping moth
err. If times were like they should be,
there is not child in the civilized
wOrl that would not have all it need
ed for this Christmas.
Ev-ry man who gets drunk these
holidays or does any mean act, or
does not keep the day holy, is hurting
stones at Jesus Ar5 we s"endiug our
times this day just like we want our
children to spend n KIT Xmas and every
other one on thru life.
Wedding bells have been ringing,
and are still ringing, and will
ring. Mr. Phillips and Miss Bar
rette we're married Sunday Mr.. Webb
and Miss Cathcart will be married to-
morrow, the Goth inst. All have our
best wishes.
Success to the dear old News, and
staff, and its many readers, and may
you all live to enjoy good many more
Xmases. Old Sox.

home, but God knows best. He said,
''Suffer little children to come unto
me, for of such is the kingdom of hea.
ven,' so we need not mourn for our
little ones because they are safe in the
arms of Jesus. She Is not dead, but
only asleep to await that blessed morn

CHRISTMAS tt
AND ENTERTA INMENT

The Christmas tlee and program al

large crowd The program as printed
in last weeks News was carried out
and every number was good. The
songs were excellently rendeIed and
the first one, "Marching on the King S
Highway" with whistliug chorus,
was decidedly novel, as vel! as pretty.
Rev. Hibbitt's led in prayer and Mr..
W. r Thomas led the responsive read
ing. The solo by Grace Pryor with
chorus of several girls, was excellent,
every word being distinguishable,
even to those who sat in the rear seats
There there were recitations by
numerous little folks as we'll as by
some of the larger ores, and Gladys
Fag g and Dora Pryor gave duet.
Mr.. Thomas sroke thanking the
young ladies, Misses Hopkins and
Randle, who got up the program, and
the children for their excellent enter
tainment. A song followed, after
which Santa Claus appeared, Just
from the north pole so he said, but
instead of being fat and chunky, as
the legendary Santa Claus is, this
Santa Claus was long and lean, proba-
bly, owning to the bard times now pre-.
valent over the country. But the tree
did not bear overly stricken appear
ance. There were dolls and picture
books, ties and other gifts suitable for
all, with sack containing an orange
and candy for EACH Santa 7istri buted
the presents, and raised considerable
mirth at his peculiar actions and COM
ic remarks. When the last present
had been taken from the tree, Santa
left, promising to return next year.
