PLEA MADE FOR FARM BOYS
City Lures Declared Result of Unat.
tractive Home Surroundings.

People wonder why the boys
want to leave the farm and try their
fortunes in the city, said D. H.
Morris of the short course at the
school of agriculture at St. Anthony
Park in an address. There is little
wonder when the matter is looked
into. Too little effort in made to
make the homes from which the boys
want to run away attractive. The
almighty dollar too often gets in
the way. Boys are not wild animals;
they do not need pounding because
they do not do their work as we'll as
older persons, they have not had the
experience
One trouble is that many farmers
have too much to say about big I
in talking to their boys. Why not
say we or ours, in talking about the
stock or farm and encourage the
boys to say the same? They will
learn to take an interest. Subscribe
for paper in their name, and il
there is something extra in vege.
tables or stock, let them take it tc
the fair, make the entries in their
own name and if they chance TO &c,
a premium let them have it to do as
they please with; it will stimulate a
desire to attend to the details of the
farm and what is lost by letting
them have the money, will be made
up by the extra care they will take
in preparing for the next fair, and ii
will also increase the value of be tt
the farm and the stock"

SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE
Will be Held in Bemidji Next Sunday
and Monday.
CONTRIBUTED

A rare treat is in store for the
Sunday School Workers of this
section of the State at Bemidji on
January 1890 1911. in a Sunday
school institute held by combina-
ton party of two International work.
ers and two state workers.
The tour party consists of w. A.
Brown. Chicago, superintendent of
Missions of the International sun
day School Association, and Hugh
Cork. of Chicago. Mr.. Brown spent
quite a number of years in the
PHILIPPINE islands. He is one of the
best informed men on Missions we
have ever heard. He is a platform
man of rare ability. He is a whlrl-
wind of enthusiasm. Anyone who
hears Mr.. Brown and does not get
enthusiastic on Sunday School work,
especially along the line of Missions,
IS certainly beyond redemption. We
want every pastor, Sunday school
superintendent and officer to hear
Brown.
Mr.. Cork, is assistant general
secretary of the International Sun
day School Association. Mr.. Cork
has been general secretary of Mime.
sofa and Pennsylvania and city
Superintendent of Philadelphia. He
is specialist on House to House
Visitation and has written all the
leaflets for the International Sunday
School Association on this subject.
His knowledge of Worldwide Sun
day School work is second to none
in the world today. He gathered
the Sunday School statistics of the
world last year for the World Sun
day school Convention. His ad.
dress on Worldwide Sunday
School Work." should be heard by
every Sunday school worker in Min
nesota.
A. M. Locker, General Secretary,
and Paul S. Dietrich, Field Worker
of the Minnesota Sunday School
Association, may also be here.
Be sure to come the first day an d
stay through to the last as there
will be something good every minute
of the time. Bemidji will entertain,
free of charge. all who come.

Her Artistic Instinct.

Her Artistic Instinct.
The girl was a dainty thing in pink,
evidently a stranger in Boston. The
fellow had Harvard written all over
him. They were standing in the de-
livery room Of the public library, and
he was explaining to her the deco
rations by Edwin Abbey which illus
tats the legend Of the Holy Grail.
AS he talked he glanced occasionally
at his fair listener and seemed pleased
to lind her apparently lost in rapture.
Finally, when his stock Of knowledge
was exhausted, he exclaimed:
why, 1 never before knew that you
were so interested in art!''
For a moment longer she continued
to gaze at the painting: then, with q
tremulous sigh, she turned to him
with:
Il have been wondering how many
pieces it would make If cut up into
one of those picture puzzles. "-Har

The Cocoa Plantation.

a traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks Of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which if very strong is
fatal to them. To secure this protec-
ton the planters shield them by ba-
mana trees and plaintain trees, the
broad leaves Of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection
which is given by trees known as i'm
mortels," or, as the planters call them
the mother of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has sort OF
canopy.

Old Ace of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during summer,
and especially during long, warm sum-
mers at that, and are scarcely big
enough for the mouth before the third
year. 1t is easy after looking over q
bunch of shells to tell how old an
oyster is. A summer hump and the
winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it Is hard to tell anything more
about Miss Oysters age. Oysters east.

Representative Robertson Has Bill

Bemidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
st. Paul, January 25.-Of direct
interest to Bemidji is the effort now
on by Donald Robertson of Argyle
to provide $4,000 year for all
high schools maintaining courses in
agriculture, manual training,
domestic science and business or a
commercial course.
Representative Robertson has
just placed this measure before the
House and it has been referred to
the committee on education.
The bill provides that any school
district, not receiving such aid I'M
der some other law, is to receive
the amount above specified from the
state when all four subjects are
taught. When one or more sub
ject is taught, the school is to re-
ceive $3.50 for each department.
To secure aid a school must
make application to the state super
intendent of public instruction and
furnish to him all information as
to finances, number of teachers and
the amount paid each. The superin-
! tendent will then designate an in
fspecror who shall report 10 the state
high school board which board
shall consider the application at the
earliest moment.
! Such schools would be compelled
to conform to the rules laid down
by the state high schol board under
the direction of which the aid would
be supplied.
Representative Mattson seeks to
amend the fishing law so as to
make it unlawful to have in ones
possession white fish weighing less
than 2 1-2 pounds when caught or
2 pounds when dressed. The bill
makes it unlawful to have sturgeon
in ones possession weighing less than
Is pounds.

American Thread Company. incorpor-
ated under the laws of the State Of
New Jersey, was liable to an income
tax assessment In this country on
profits amounting to 5000, 900.
The Justice held hat although the
mills and business of the company
were in America. the fact that most
of the common stock was held here
and that the directors In England were
highly concerned with the direction
of its affairs, brought the concern
within the provisions of the British
income tax act.
