STATE TO DO FARM WORK HERE
Industrial Expert Howard Tells Of
H. Plans for North.

81 George F. Howard, Industrial ex-
pert of the state agricultural extern
sion division, is planning to extend
the work which has met with so much
favor in the southern and central
portions of the state, to the northern
and north central counties in Min
nesota, and arrangements have al
ready been perfected for several
months work in that part of the
state ''The counties in the northern
part of the state" said Mr.. Howard,
aare taking An active interest in this
work. They realize that only by in
teresting the boys and girls in bet
ter methods of agriculture can they
be kept On the farm. 1t also enables
these counties to show their agricul-
tural products at an advantage in the
county fairs and state fair. We hope
in a year, or SO, to push the work to
the very northern border of the
state" Mr.. Howard is spending two
weeks in Crow Wing county, riding
from schoohouse to schoolhouse in the
country districts in company with
County Superintendent Mrs. Irma c.
Hartley and explaining the meaning
of the movement to the boys and
girls.

RED CROSS SEALS TO BE SOLD
Early Start Made in Effort to Exceed
$750,000 Sale Last Year.

Another Red Cross Christmas Seal
campaign is on. More than S0,000,-
600 seals were sold last year, pro-
viding the National, State and Local
Anti-tuberculosis Societies with
about 100000. It is estimated that
the appropriation Of twenty times
this amount by public authorities in
building hospitals, etc., was secured.
The Minnesota Association for the
Prevention and Relief of Tuberculo-
sis has been appointed again sole
agent for Minnesota. Last year the
sales in Minnesota amounted to a

were sold it would mean only one
seal for each person in the state
Last year there were 200 centers of
distribution, ranging in size from the
city of Minneapolis to a cross roads
postoffice. This year it is planned to
sell the seals in each of the 500 or
so centers of population in the state
and in addition to cover about one
third of the rural school districts of
the state, making the school the GEN.
ter of distribution through the teach

working as agents. The management
of the sale of seals in Bemidji and
other places in this vicinity will be
announced later Any person not
able to secure seals in his or her vi
entity may send in a cash mail order
for the same to the state agent at
the Old Capitol, St. Paul.

FIND SNAKE IN BANANA BUNCH
Groceryman at Luverne Discovers
Live Boa Constructor in Fruit.

While handling bunch of bana-
mas clerk in the Nelson Brothers
store at Luverne grasped a squirmy
object and was surprised to find that
it was a snake tightly coiled about
the fruit and which after proved to
be a young boa constructor. The
reptile is 27 inches long. When the
snake was discovered the bananas
were carried out doors and snow
piled upon the snake so that it would
remain in active until it could be
captured. It was then placed in a
half-gallon fruit jar, but later re-
moved to a small glass show case,
where it is now confined. There
can be no doubt as to the specie of
the snake, and while it appears
strange that the snake could be car
ried to this northern climate in a
bunch of bananas, naturalists recount
that not infrequently young boa con-
strictors will frequently conceal
tn emselves in banana lunches. The
bananas are thought to have come
from Brazil. When kept away from
the heat the snake lies quietly in it's
case, but when the case is placed
over steam radiator or in the sun
it becomes active An effort will be
made by Nelson Bros to keep the
snake alive and watch its develop
ment. Thus far the snake has not
touched any of the food placed in its
case, but as snakes of this kind eat
only at durations of several weeks, it
is believed suitable food can be
found for it when it is hungry
enough to eat.

Region Tells of Circumstances I'm
der Which Homesteader Dropped
Ont Of Sight.

Attorney G. R. Middleton of Bau-
dette is making every effort to locate
Andrew Taylor, strangely missing
since September II, in an effort to
transfer certain valuable property
which is legally due him.
The disappearance of Taylor is
shrouded in mystery as will be seen
by the following from the current
issue of the Baudette Region:
"Andrew Taylor came to Baudette
from Eastern Ontario about a year
ago to take charge of the estate of
his brother, William H. Taylor, who
was homesteader a few miles north
OF Baudette, and who died in Sep
TENDER, 1910.

Il Convicted By Government, Must
Go to Prison; Possibly Later
to Saltwater.
DOUBTS REGARDING TRIAL
Blackjack Accusations May Not Be
Pushed in Case of Guilty Yer
dict Now.

With the converting of the federal
grand jury at Fergus Falls yesterday
interest in the charges against DR.,
D. F. Dumas, mayor of Cass Lake. is
revived.
Dr. Dumas was arrested in Cass
Lake early in September by a United
States marshal on a charge of con-
spiracy to rob the Puposky Office on
the night of June 1e last.
In Unique Position.
The Cass Lake mayor occupies an
unique position. He stands convict
ed in the state courts of an ATTEMPT
to commit arson and should the state
supreme court permit the conviction
to stand he will be sentenced to the
state penitentiary.
Would Go to Federal Prison.
In the meantime he is out on $1O,-
600 and faces new charges at Fergus
Falls. In case an Indictment there
is returned against him and a feder-
al jury finds him guilty he can be
sentenced to a federal prison, de-
spite the conviction of the state.
Then to Saltwater.
In the event that he were taken to
a federal prison and then the Min
nesota supreme court rules against
him, he would serve out the federal
sentence, after which he would be
claimed by the civil authorities and
taken to Saltwater.
Much Depends on Present Move.
1t is generally understood that
much depends upon the result at
Fergus Falls. Should the evidence
be insufficient to result in federal
Indictment it is likely that the
charges in connection with the
Blackjack burning will be vigorously
pushed at the opening of the Crow
Wing term of court at Brainerd on
December 8, but in case of a convic-
ton at Fergus Falls it is not known
what attitude the state would take
when the doctors case is called at
Brainerd before Judge McClenahan.

at his farm.
Left Hotel Sept. II.
Upon inquiry at the Peppin
House, where Andrew Taylor had
roomed and boarded for several
weeks, it has been ascertained that
he left there on the morning of Sep

TRYING TO REFORM NATURE
Plan to Produce stInglsss Bee Gives
Rise to Many Other Desirable
Proposed Changes.

The proposal to rob the bee Of its
sting is revived by professor in one
of our universities. 1t may be q
good thing for beekeepers, though
they do not appear to be clamoring
overheard for the reform; but what
about the bee itself? That it needed
sting to establish itself in business,
SO to speak, is beyond question. 9th
erwise nature would not have taken
the trouble of providing it with one.
The interest of the plan for the
non-apiarian lover of animal nature
lies rather in the possibilities it sug-
gests in other directions. A nom
growing rooster would be boon to
the suburbanite and the summer va
cationer, especially since M. Rostand
has demonstrated that the sun would
rise none the less. Non-chirping
matutinal birds are also much to be
desired, and screechless night owls.
Barkless seals would be q boon to
visitors to the zoo with tender ear
drums; but, speaking Of barks, the
varieties of dogs that least indulge
in that method of relieving their
emotions are prone to bite. Indeed,
a biteless dog is more to be desired
than a barkless one. Miauling cats
readily respond to treatment with
projectiles, and need not detain us.
They have troubles of their own,
anyhow, just now, chiefly connected
with their hospitality to microbes. A
brayless donkey can be improvised
on the moment by tying a weight tt
its tail.-New York Tribune.
