THEIR THESIS FOR GRADUATION
Initial Trials Fail But Ambi
tious Ones Still Expect
to Make it Go

Students of the engineering col

termined to make their monoplane
fly. Attempts thus far have failed.
Robert G. Dram of Willmar, M. S.
Larson of Red Wing and Irving D.
Bishop of Minneapolis, three senior
engineers, built the monoplane as
their graduation thesis.
An attempt at flight was made
but the horse power was not suffi-
cient and the engine was supplanted
by another of twenty six horse pow
err taken from a Ford automobile.
Fred Parker, the amateur aviator Of
Hamline. assisted the students in
installing the engine in the aero
plane

SHIPS THAT KICK.
Seamen Don't Like Them and Dodge
Them if They Can.

Seamen DON'T Like Them and Dodge
Them If They Can.
When sailors join ship almost the
first question asked by each one as he
takes the wheel for the first time is.
"Does she kick?''
Kicking. as it Is called by the sea-
men, is due to the action of the water
under the lee of the rudder when the
vessels stern. which has for mo-
ment been borne skyward on the crest
of a wave, falls back again into the
trough with such terrific force as to
make her tremble fore and aft and
perhaps wrench the wheel from the
grasp of the steersman.
Sometimes it happens that he is
taken unawares and. being unable to
let go In time. is flung right over the
wheel to the other side of the deck,
often receiving serious injuries. Some
times man will be pitched right
overheard into the sea, and recent
case Is known Of a man who received
a blow under the chin from one of the
smokes and died few days later from
the effects.
In some Of the worst types Of kick
ers kicking straps are used regularly
In nearly all weathers, and many sail
ors refuse to 90 to sea In ships which
are known to be confirmed kickers.-

CHEAP PERFUMES.

Most women who indulge freely in
the use Of cheap perfumes do not

The principal Ingredient of low priced
perfumes is musk, animal musk, which
is obtained from several creatures.
The muskrat is probably the best
known of these, and few decades
ago the wives and sweethearts Of men
who set traps around bitches and

o, woman may up and leave you;
The children may drift away,
But once little dog loves you
He sticks till his bones turn clay.
The world may call you lobster
And scorn you because you fail
But the little dog that loves you
Will keep on wagging his tail.
Battered and bruised and broken,
o, hard is the trail you roam;
But the little dog waits to welcome
Your steps on the porch of home.
There may be better masters
Who'd keep him sleek and fat,
And give him warmer kennel,
But the little dog stands pat.
No matter how grouchy and hateful
You come from your daily cares
He snuggles up against you
Like youngster saying his prayers.
The world may hand you lemon
And tell you you won't do;
But there's one little dog that loves you,
Will share his last bone with you.

ers of-the Western company to exchange

INCREASED FARM VALUES.
Land Has More Than Doubled in Dec
ade.

Farm land in the United States has
more than doubled in value in the last
10 years. The census bureau has an
nounced that the total yaliTe Of all farm
lands, implements and buildings in the
United States in 1910 was S35 $50 000,-
0000, compared with SIT ,357 100000 in
1900, according to the Mirror and Farm
er of Manchester, N. II. The number
of farms in 1910 was 6.340,. .l20, as
compared with 5,737,372 in 1900, an in
crease of IL per cent. The land in.
creased from S35,002000 acres in 1900
to s73,703,000 in 1910, or five per cent.
but larger increase, 10 per cent. is
noted in improved acreage, which in 1900
was 4l4490000 acres and in 1910 4T7,-
474,000 acres.
More conspicuous than the increase in
the number and acreage of farms has
been the gain in the improved values
Of farm property. The land in farms
rose in value from sl3,05l ,033O00 in
1900 to $2S,383, ,s2I 900 in 1910, an in
crease of ll8 per cent. and in the same
period the average acre value of all
land in farms rose from $l566 to $3.50,
or l0S per cent.
Farm buildings, which in 1900 were
valued at 56,5I4,O00. were reported
in 1910 as worth $6,294 ,025,000, an in
crease Of N per cent. Farm implements
and machinery, reported in 1910 as worth
81 ,26l $4,000, and 10 years previously
as worth $740,77s,000, show an increase
of 0S per cent.
The basis Of this increase is found
in the great crops produced during the
decade, there having been no failure
during the period, and in the. business
prosperity of the country made possible
by such crops. Doubtless the farmers
of the country have prospered as well
as those engaged in other industrial
pursuits when the increased value of
their holdings is taken into considera-
tion.

HAD PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Barre Golf Club Hears Reports and
Elects officers.

The annual business meeting of the
Barre Golf club was held in the city
court room last evening at 1880 o'clock.
Inelement weather did not keep the at
tendance down and an unusual degree of
enthusiasm was eyinced in plans made
for next year. The reports Of the diff
ferent committees combined TO show
conelusively that the club has Just
passed through the most successful sea-
son in its existence. A substantial gain
in the membership roll is noted, at the
present time, there being "a active mem.
bers and l6 who are associated with
the club. During the past season ex-
tensive improvements have been made at
the links and yet the deficit reported is
so small as 10 be inconsequential.
A considerable outlay is represented
in the addition 10 the club house. Up
to-date plumbing facilities and the in
stallation of water system have called
for no small expenditure About the
links may be seen evidences of inn
provements, among which is the erec-
tion of bunker. The total receipts,
amounting to nearly 81 600, have been
almost sufficient to cover the cost OF
the various improvements.
Following the. reports of the various
committees, officers were elected to serve
during the ensuing year as follows;
President, b. w. Hooker; vice presi.
dent, James MaelShy; secretary, l.. r.
Hutchinson; treasurer, Miss Penelope
Gall; executive committee, John Reid,
Robert Clark, David Stuart; match com
mittee, James Maekay, James Reid, John
Daniels, Elective officers, which includes
the president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer, are members OF the execu-
tive committed, ex oificio. Other com
mittees will be named later by the ex.
ecutive board.
AS shown by tle record of matches
won during the season, the club has been
none the less successful on the links.
Out Of eight matches with outside clubs,
six have been won BY the Barre Golf
club The local golfers took two matches
out of three in the tannual series with
the Montpelier Country club In the
triangular meet with Greensboro and
