SOLVES A DIFFICULT PROBLEM
John A. johnson Has Patented an At.
tachment to Control Movement of
Photographs

John A. Johnson, Of Alexandria, has
succeeded in perfecting an attach
ment for the Columbia and Victor
monographs; in fact it can be ap-
Piled to almost any of the popular
talking machines, which controls and
stops the monograph at the close of
the selection. 1t obviates the neces-
sity Of shutting off the power at the
close of the number. The little de.
vice can be so set that the machine
stops instantly the selection is fin
ished. Other methods have been
adapted to control these machines,
but none has proved wholly satisfae-
tory. Mr.. Johnson seems to have dis
covered the secret of perfect control,
and his device, on which he has Sc
cured patent, should find a ready
market among the manufacturers of
these machines.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY

On the whole, we are disposed to
take Mr.. Welliver's statement of the
case for and against Canadian reci-
procity as fair. The agreement is
as unfavorable to the farmers as it
can be made, and if their interests
could be sacrificed for the benefit of
the manufacturers, this pact seems
calculated to do it. We do not believe
however, that the American farmers
interests in the long run can be hurt
by closer commercial relations with
Canada. We can see some benefits
from the agreement as it stands. # it
results in more wheat being milled
in this country, it should mean TWEEN
ty-fve cents worth of fertility, in
every imported bushel so milled, gain
ed to this country and lost to G anada.
The bran and other by-products OF
milling shuld be beneficial TO our
dairy and live stock interests. And
the opening of so great an area Of
good grazing lands to free trade in
live stock ought TO solve the problem
of the supply of stock for feeding our
poses for a long time to come We
don't look for any appreciate hard
times from Canadian reciprocity

D|x0N'S SALE
BIGGEST EVER
in ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS IN
PROPERTY DISPOSED OF - TO-
tai AMOUNT OF SALES $8,987.25
-WEATHER WAS IDEAL

w. H. DiXons ninth annual Combi-
mer. Nature strained point to fur
nish perfect day and that did a
great deal to swell the crowd and put
everybody in good humor. From all
the nearby towns, including Crooks
ton and Thief River Falls, and from
the country for twenty miles around,
had come people to attend the sale.
Among the visitors were many ladies'
who came here to take advantage of
the exceptional bargains offered by
the Warren stores. 1t was happy,
good-natured, jolly throng of people
that iostled one another on the streets
that day, and there wasn't a rowdy or
rufian among them. Those who
had imagined that the farmers will
not come to Warren because the sa-
looms were voted out, had to admit
themselves mistaken. Most every
body had a better time on account of
this fact.
Mr.. Dixon sold more property than
at any former combination sale he
has held here, and everything brought
good prices. There were many fine
driving and draft horses and these
were in great demand. Many COWS
and other cattle were disposed of.
There seemed to be no end to farm
machinery of all kinds and everything
found ready buyers.
The total sales amount to $8,9S7.25
and the beauty of it was that all ex-
cept less than $4,000 was paid in cash.
That speaks volumes for the solid fl
nancial standing of the community.
Mr.. Dixon himself cried the sale and
two clerks, Albin Young and George
Harris, were kept busy recording the
many transactions. Mr.. Dixon is
well pleased with this years sale.
All the merchants of Warren who
had advertised their wares properly,
did thriving business.

account was kept of her feed, and her
milk was sold at 10c quart made a
profit of $565.22.
The United States Department of
Agrculture's estimate in round
numbers of the wealth produced each
year by the 22,000,0O0 COWS in the
United States is $SOO,00O,00O or an
average of $2636 per COW. If more
attention was paid to feeding and
breeding it should be easy to in
crease the average profit per COW to
at least one-tenth of the profit made
by Sophie 10Th of Hood Farm which
would raise total of $1,24O,OOO,O OC
an increase of $44O,0O,OOO.

LARGE RESERVES OF GRAIN

We have gone through the mild
winter with plentiful supply of grain
left in reserve on farms in most Sec
tons. All estimates indicate a larg-
er supply in cribs and granaries than
is usually on hand at this season. 1t
is thought that the consumption of
corn the past winter closely APPROACH
ed the record amount of four years
ago, but still the farm reserve of this
grain seems to be the largest on re.
cord. The reserve of oats is relatively
greater, owing to the succession of
bumper crops the last two years. 1t
is reported that the stock of oats still
on farms is about Is per cent greater
than at this time last year, The re-
serve of wheat also seems to be some
what larger than usual.
This abundance of grain should
stimulate sensibly conservative
policy among farmers. The prospect
for sensational elevations in prices
this year is remote With the specu-
lative instinct at rest, there is the OPP
portunity to measure the size Of the
income by skill in selecting the seed.
fitting the soil and tending the crop.
A farmers income is mainly deter
mined by his own work, Weather and
markets have less to do with his in
diyidual prosperity than is generally;
supposed. When the bulk of farm
ers raise just enough to pay expenses
and furnish living for their families.
there are still thousands of others
who make money. Every bushel OF
grain beyond the amount that goes to
balance expense is profit. If there are
two such bushels the profit is twice
as great as for one, so in reality the
difference between the prosperous
farmer and the one who makes bare
living is often determined by a small
increase in crop yields.
Anyone can make money when ev'
erything he has to sell brings ap I'M
usually high price, but such condi-
lions cannot be permanent. The far.
mer who makes an advance every
year is the one who keeps his bust
ness ahead of the average, both in
economy of management and in the
yield of his crops.-The Breeders Ga.

PREPARE FOR CHANGING coNDl
TlONS

We believe the time has come for
us to turn away from the crops on
which our competitors can and will
beat us, and turn to those more di-
versified and far more profitable
crops, in which we shall yet stand
pre-eminent, viz corn, clover, alfalfa,
and live stock. In these the Canadian
Northwest must despair, while Min
nesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas
can surpass even the greatest sue
cesses of the states south of them.
Especially is it beyond question that
Northern Minnesota and Northern
Wisconsin are unsurpassed in clover,
the great fundamental of stock rails
ing. Let our farmers, so far as pos
sible, take that homely old expression
Clogs and hominy" as the key to
their farming plans, this year, and
raise, not hogs alone but all kinds of
stock, and not corn alone but all
kinds of cultivated crops, instead Of
wheat.
This should be our aim, regardless
of how Canadian reciprocity is decid-
ed, for it is the inevitable climax Of
our own perfected agriculture; the
farmer who soonest approaches this
kind of farming will be the one ahead
of his neighbors, for not only will his
acres produce each year more valu-
able crops, but these very "crops" Of
livestock, with clover and alfalfa, will
constantly enrich the soil instead of
depicting it.
And so, while not lessening our pro-
test against letting in Canadian COM
petition, we are far from being pessi-
nlistic as to the future of farming in
Minnesota and our other Northwest
ern states. The next generation will
wonder that we were ever satisfied to
rest upon what we are producing. The
next generation will follow diversified
farming and intensive methods, and
will point to the history of how the
blessings Of these better methods
were forced upon us, ever. against our
accord, by Canadian competition.

occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break

She did so anr in few moments

but alas, her fiance was not among

what had happened she was taken to

she thought 1t would be simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

Two Very Old Ladies,

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.
