The School -, 'Orestry won
two games OF bn :etball yester-
day. The boys Iuint defeated
Souris by a score of 49 to 9.
The girls team won from
Rolette in a closely contested
game, the score being II to 8.
Both games were interestin g
and were enjoyed by large
audience. The receipts were
$55 for the two games.
The girls game was very
closely contested one and the
issue was in doubt until the
last minute of the last half.
The game was clean and snap
py and was won entirely on
merit. The excellent team
work of the School of Forestry
girls reflects much credit on
Miss Nan Thompson's training.
The Souris boys put up a
better game than the score in
dicates. They play a good
clean game in all respects ex-
cept in basket shooting. In
this particular they were out
played by the Foresters.

The Value of a Mortgage.

Vinton Eagle: A peculiar case
has come up in the district court of
Grundy county and as ex-governor
Boies is the interested party it is
likely to cause more than passing
notice. The question to be decid-
ed is whether a mortgage is worth
its face value. ex-governor Boies
sold section and half of his big
farm to the Meyers Brothers and
took mortgage back for practical
ly the purchase price. The mort
gage was to run fifteen years at four
and half per cent interest. The
mortgage was listed at it's face value
for taxation, and Mr.. Boies asks to
have the assessment reduced for the
reason that it's face value is not its
actual value. He contends that If
teen year paper bearing only four
and half per cent interest cannot
be sold for its face and testimony
was introduced to show that this
was true. The court will render a
decision on the question soon and
the probabilities are that the as
sessment will be reduced
1t Is also worthy of note that the
selling of the land and the giving of
the mortgage created property for
taxation that does not really exist.
When Boies owned the land he paid
tax on the land alone. Now that
Meyers Brothers have the land in
their name and Boies holds the
mortgage without any increase in
wealth the property assessed is near
ly doubled.

professional life. Let us get this
idea clearly into our heads: That
education is for all, not a college
education, nor necessarily even a
high school education, but an educa-
ton that will fit the boy and girl for
the business of life.
We shall never farm as we should
until in some way we are able to
connect farm life with the education
the farmer receives at the common
school, the high school or the col
lege. Farmers will never accept
these great leaders in agriculture,
of whom we hear so much and for
whom t is proposed to spend these
millions, unless they are able to get
in close touch with the farmers life
close enough to see his point of view.
Only in this way can they equip
themselves for leadership.

THE BRIDE.

The orange blossom crowns her,
The bridal satin gowns her,
The happy anthems ring;
Girlhood's gay reign is over,
She goes to meet her lover,
While Eden's voices sing.
The marriage vow is spoken,
The wedding bread is broken,
With blessings and with tears;
These two set together
Through storm and sunny weather
To journey through the years.
Fate send your choicest dover,
Great JOY and plenty shower
From blue and kindly skies;
Earth's music and its laughter
And gladness ever after
And the love that never dies!.
So life goes on forever,
Hands join no more to sever,
The roses crown the June!
And down the aisle a-swinging
We hear the angles a-singing
A joyous hymnal tune.

E.LL GETS HIS LAND.
Chaplin Man is Not so Slow as Some
People Think.

A Center, North Dakota, paper
last week contained an interesting
article of how a man from that town
got a late" model auto palmed off
on him by William Sahr of Chaplin,
and how, by smooth work, he was
going to back out of the trade and
leave the Chaplin man to pay the
freight on the car besides, which,
by the way was no small item
only about SIS each way.
The North Dakota man advertised
for a trade and the Chaplin man took
him up, the latter getting a forty
acre tract in Wisconsin. Neither
party had seen the property of the
other, so honors were even on that
score. Sahr made inquiries about
the land and received information
that it was mot worth two cents,
as it was located close to a lake, was
practically all marsh, and what lit
tie land is there would be hard to
reach except in winter time, and
then 1t is not safe because of the
spring holes through the marsh" So
while the North Dakota man got an
old auto with a pillow handle gear
ing, Bill Sahr got a piece of land
on which he will not need to spend
much money TO make 1t into a frog
farm. Sahr received his deed the
other day and the North Dakotaian
has the auto, although it would be
cheaper for him to save the freight
and let the railroad company have
it.

Plan of Procedure in Settling the
Murphy-Haugen Contest
Fixed.

Washington, ID. c., June ia
stipulation has been reached in the
Murphy-Haugen election contest as a
result of which the ballots will be
recounted without much difficulty,
1t is thought. The testimony in the
case will be printed, and will be in
troduced in the house and referred
to one of the elections committees.
Then the attorneys for Messrs. MUIR
ply and Haugen will count ballots
about which there is controversy and
those upon which they cannot agree
will be counted by the committee.
This will enable the committee to
dispose of the case quickly and cas-
lily, as the contest probably will be
decided on the recount. The attor-
neys will count some ballots this
summer and the committee will dis,
pose of the rest early in the session
next winter.
Il appears the controversy will be
settled in a manner fair to both par
ties concerned.

to know that not for twenty years
have the corn fields of Iowa looked
so well and thrifty as they do at
present. There are very few hills

ers have learned good lesson by
looking carefully after their seed.
Healthy seed will add many millions

Have Hopes for Lakes-to-Gul Canal

cal interests affected. No such provi-
sion is put in with respect to the inves-
tigation of the proposed canal connect
ing Lake Erie with Lake Michigan.
BY the terms Of the new rivers and
harbors bill, the waterways commits
sion is to have two years from the
4th of March in which to investigate
these projects. In making the investi-
cations the commission is authorized
to call upon the engineer corps OF the
army to furnish data.
Nearly every observer with large
range Of vision is convinced that soon.
er or later, a canal connecting Lake
Erie with the lower end of Lake
Michigan will be built, and that a
canal will eventually connect Lake
Erie or Lake Michigan with the Ohio
river. Persons who have devoted some
study to this subject of artificial water
ways are disposed to believe that
when the country Is ready for a canal
connecting the Ohio river with one
of the great lakes the demand will be
for canal extending from Lake Mich.
igan, through Indiana to the Ohio
river.
There are many reasons for believ.
ing that as soon as the Panama canal
is completed, the building of artificial
waterways here at home will be under.
taken on large scale. 1t is generally
assumed that the lakes-to-the-gulf wa
terway will be the first of the projects
put through.

The managers of the Gayety Theatre
in Paris have found themselves placed
in dilemma by the persistency with
which horse continues to put on
flesh. The horse at one time was
candidate for the hackers poleaxe,
but fate was kind to him. The man
ayers of the Gayety were about to
stage Massenet's new opera Don
Quixote" and they cast about for a
horse that could play the role Of Rosi-
mantle, the hero's charger.
Paris was ransacked for an animal
lean and miserable looking enough,
and finally they found a worn out and
decrepit steed. He duly made his first
appearance in the part and was a
great success. But the actresses of
the Gayety, letting their pity get the
better of their discretion, offered the
horse food, which he greedily devour-
ed In such quantities and to such good
purpose that to the CONSERVATION of
the managers he gradually grew fat
ter and fatter until he became alto
gether too sleek and robust for their
purpose

Uncle JIM WILSON, of the depart.
~ ment of agriculture, hopes to put
venison, that luxury Of the rich, on
the table of every citizen in our coun.
try, and at less cost than that of beef.
He aims to accomplish this by con.
vincing farmers that they can raise
small herds of deer or elk or antelope
on land that is at present absolutely
valueless and with practically no
attention after the start is once
made.
In many parts OF the country there
are tracts of land which can be more
profltably used for raising venison
than any other purpose.
The propagation Of game is as legiti.
mate a business as the growing of beef
or mutton, and, according to the de-
partment, the producer should be per.
mitted under reasonable regulation, to
dispose of his product at any time,
either for breeding purposes or for
food. This some of the state laws
now prohibit.

WASHINGTON.-The fact that con-
W gress continues to nurse various
projects for artificial waterways may
probably be taken to indicate that
sooner or later some of these canals
Will be constructed. The rivers and
harbors bill, as amended by the senate,
and as 1t will probably stand when
finally passed, directs the national wa
terWays commission to make a careful
study OF the advisability and feasibil-
1ty OF the proposed canal from Lake
Erie, by way of Fort Wayne, or by
some other direct and feasible route,
to the southern end of Lake Michigan,
and of canal from the Ohio river, at
a point near Pittsburg, to Lake Erie
The commission is also directed to
look into the feasibility and practical
bility Of a canal to connect the Ana
costa river, here at the national cap
ital, with Chesapeake bay, or some
tributary Of that bay.
In the case of the proposed canal
from the Ohio river to Lake Erie, the
bill provides that the expense Of in
vestigating as to its feasibility and
practicability shall be borne by the To-
