CENTRAL TO PUT BACK
TAKERS OF TICKETS
Auditors to Again Assist the
Conductors

The officials Of the Central Of Geor-
gia railway report a steady and healthy
increase in its passenger traffic and
in discussing the matter, state that
it is the intention of the management
to again employ ticket collectors on
some of its more important passenger
trains, where it is difficult under the
present conditions for the conductors
to properly look after their numerous
duties.
An experiment of this sort was
made several years ago, but was abau-
doned on account of the reduction Of
business that followed the financial
depression in the fall of 1907. 1t is
expected the growth of the business
since that time will justify this ad-
ditional expense.
The organization of the force nee
essary for this work will be under the
direction of Mr. w. D. Beymer, comp
troller of the company
Mr. Beymer said yesterday that it
would probably be about the first Of
May before the system of train audi
tors could be thoroughly in force. The
men have to be secured, uniforms
made for them and many other de-
tahs given attention before they are
placed upon the trains.
1T is impossible, say the Central Of
ficiaIs for the conductors on the
heavily patronized trains, to collect
the fares from the passengers and
run their trains too. AS it is more inn
portant to run the train properly, and
keep up the schedules, it is some
times the case that passengers are
carried without surrendering their
tickets O. mileage.
Approaching the fact that conduct
ors have their time occupied in run
ming trains, the plan of employing
auditors or fare collectors, is to be
adhered to as the policy of the COM
pany in the future.

INTEREST In OPERA IS
GREAT At PRESENT
Americas Is Assured a Treat
Next Week

The first appearance in Americas
on Thursday evening next of the En-
ghsh Grand Opera Company, present.
ing Mscagni's masterpiece "Cava-
leria Rusticana," promises to be the
pleasurable occasion of the season at
the opera house Grand opera is the
highest attainment of vocal and dra-
matte art. 1t requires long years of
endless study on the part of the ar
fist and represents many thousands OF
dollars in its preparation Who of Us
do not admire Wagner, Goethe, Verdi
Mascagni and dozens of other famous
composers, both of the oiden and mod
ern schools, who have given to the
musical world such beautiful verses
as Parsifal, 1 Troyatore, The Bohem-
ian Girl and Cavaleria Rusticana. Bat
what of the words of art without the
singer to present an intelligent rem
dition of the scores? Singers VINO
have worked their way to the front
rank by endless application and study
until their brains fairly broil. Then
again the grand opera singers must
have temperament, personality and a
keen conception of the artistic. In
other words, ''many are called, but few
are chosen"

No Disaster in the Americas
District

Americas peach orchards were not
hurt by the frost yesterday morning
to any considerable extent, the grow
ers here think, nor by the high WINS

ton Of the peach crop lay in the

in the early morning. One grower
here said that because the wind blew
all of Thursday that there was prac-
tically no moisture and much colder

fruit now than otherwise. He said that
a temperature as low as 26 would pro-
badly causes some damage in the low
orchard lands, but that it would have
to be much colder than that to be of
damage to the peach crop as a whole.

Agricultural Expert Says Sowing of

Professor Thomas Cooper of the

to SOW grain at the present time
He replied that he did not, and it is
his opinion that the farmers who
are now seeding are making a decid-
ed mistake.

time" said Professor Cooper, "may

night checks it's growth, weakens
the plant life and retards it's even.

What we are advising, and ad.
vising very strongly, however, i:
that farmers drag their ground i'm
mediately to prevent the loss Of

rate that is about equal to one goot

Claimants of State of Minnesota
Basketball Championship Say
Rank Decisions Beat Them.
WILL ENDEAVOR TO EVEN UP
Bagley Paper Intimates That PROBES
sor Miles, Of Crookston, Who Re-
fereed Was Unfair.

That the Bagley basketball team
is comprised of five poor losers is
evident from the press reports which
have been received from that village
Last Saturday evening Bagley,
who claims the basketball champion
ship of Minnesota, clashed with the
Bemidji five on the Armory floor
The contest was one of the fastest
that had been played in this city
during the present season, and not
until the final whistle had blown
was the outcome of the game certain
Professor Miles, of the Crookston
high school, refereed the game and
it is needless to say that no director
Of athletics in northern Minnesota is
more fair than he. @
In the game Saturday Bagley had
to play to their limit, and that limit
was just at the point which gave
the Bemidji players the game.
The Bagley Herald says:
THE basketball season is now over
the Bagley boys last game being
with the Bemidji boys last Saturday
evening at that place, the game re-
sulting in a score of 23 to &c in
favor of Bemidji.
The Bagley boys though defeat
ed, claim the victory IN pointTs',~rt' t
owing to the rank decisions of the
umpires who favored Bemidji, the
Bagley boys lost the game.
But the Bagley boys say they
have not thrown up the sponge or
given up all hope yet, and believe
that victory crushed to earth will
rise again.
The boys have now organized a
baseball team with George Courtney
as captain, and are practicing daily
preparatory for developing them
selves into one of the strongest, if
not the strongest team in northern
Minnesota, and as soon as conditions
are agreeable for a base ball game,
they will again invade the ground
where sthey lost the day by unjust
decisions, for the avowed purpose of
boys pelts on their shoulders''

GOOD PLACE FOR YOUNG MEN
Lieutenant Colonel Watrous Praises
U. S. Army Service.

Lieut.. Col. J. A. Watrous, U. S. A..
writing of army dicipline as pre-
paration for life says:
81 regard the U. S. Army as an ex
ceptionally good place for young
men.
Indeed I do not know young
man who could be accepted who
would not be greatly benefited by q
term in the army.
.4f he makes u1lisse use of the lessons
learned during an enlistment he will
be better prepared to succeed in any
other calling or profession that he
may adopt than if he had not had the
Army experience. @
i "He will be better prepared for
law, the ministry, for the career of
a merchant, an educator, a manufac-
turer. In the three years enlist
ment he finds himself.
81 know of no other calling where
that discovery is so certain to follow
"The world has seen millions OF
wrecked men who were wrecked be-
cause they had failed to find them
selves.
"In the Army the man who is
worthy to be classed a man learns,
and learns we'll, the lesson of self
control.
Gle learns obedience, acquires
knowledge of men, learns how to
treat them-learns their real value.
eff he is a gentleman when he in
lists his service will make him more
of a gentleman if he is of good ma
terial.
"He learns how to take care OF
himself, to shield his reputation,
protect his health; he has an oppor-
tunity to lay the foundation for good
citizenship.
eff he entered the Army awkward
uncouth, he is unbent.
Ellis awkwardness gives place to
grace in walk and general appear
ance.
"He learns the value of time.
IF he lacks self respect the i'm.

upon him. .-

Alfred Neuman Wins in Serious Sell
ections While Mona Flesher is
Second in Humorous.
PARK RAPIDS DISAPPOINTED
Had Won Banner Three Years and
Expected to Retain it-Given
a.. .-.. Last Place.

Last evenings declamatory contest
held at Akeley between the high
schools of Grand Rapids, Akeley,
Park Rapids and ~Bemidji, Cass Lake
not sending representatives, was a
glorious victory for the high school
of this city. .-...
OF the four contestants for the
serious selections, Alfred Neuman, of
this city was the first to speak. :.
He was in excellent voice, and the
manner in which he gave the "Lance
of Kanana'' was no less than sur
prising to the spectators who had
thronged the auditorium of the
Akeley high cshool to be present at
the contest. The decision of the
judges met with the general approval
of all present.
Mona Flesher, represented Be
midi in the humorous selection, civ
ing "The Lady Across the Isle''. She
was given second place, Akeley hav-
ing been awarded first place.
The Park Rapids contestants were
accompanied by no less than so men
and women, and it was with much
disappointment that they received
the news that their favorites had
been given the fourth or last place.
~. Park Rapids has held, the banner
for the past three years, and it was
with much confidence that they en-
tered the contest last night, hoping
to retain the banner.
William Powers the Grand Rapids
contestant in the serious selections
was awarded second position.
Miss RIGA Grazing, a member of
the high school faculty, has had the
contestants under her direction
since the preliminary contest which
was held shortly before Christmas,
and at which time the winners of
last night were selected to represent
the high school of this city, out of
16 candidates for that honor. She
is to be congratulated on the show
ing made by Mona and Alfred.
