DESERVES SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

OIolNslo oAASVOO
There is one line of farm equip
mont to which the average farmer
little disposed to give serious
consideration, and yet, on it's ad-
justment depends the whole question
of the use of mordern implements.
W. refer to the supply of farm work
stock. It does not appear that the
number of horses and mules is in
.creasing very much as compared
with the other factors or agencies
used IL doing farm work, We are
ggff 0sIng ofs-n5fsss pftUSss TsfgsE
because we lack the two horses to
pull the two-horse pillow. We are
still burning humus-iorming
materials off the land because Il
one-horse plows will not turn them
under. t is w51f>fnown fact
takes more horses and mules
to properly prepare the land that
we are inclined to use in the cult
vation Of the crops. It is probably
true that We could economically use
more horses and mules in cultiva-
ting our drops, but it is certain that
we canaot properly Or economically
prepare our land for the crops with
out more work stock. Possibly we
could get along with such work
stock as we have if We had fewer
workers and better implements, but
while there is less than one horse to
the worker, and usually only one
horse to the farm, proper prepara-
ton of the land will not be obtained
and the cost of human labor will be
too large.
Few work ANNALS IN proportion
to the human workers, means poor
people, because it means poor lands,
poorly prepared, and small crops.
This is nc theory, or dream, it is a
fact as shown by the farm horse and
man population and the crops pro-
duced. The larger the number of
horses to the man, the larger yield
of crops and the greater earnings
per man. Our census reports show
that clearly: Iowa with her eve
times as many horses per worker is
enabled to earn five times as much
per man as do we of the South.
Now, the horse or mule is both
an expensive animal to buy and to
keep. We have it within our
power to reduce the cost of high
keeping to aslow a point of his feeds
at the lowest cost; but as a matter of
fact, it costs the Southern farmer
heavily to keep his work stock,
because he ships his feeds and pays
heavy freight rates on them on nc
count of their great bulk.
Perhaps,-we say perhaps,-the
farmer cannot afford to
keep more work stock to prepare
the land, because he uses mules
largely and is opposed to cultivating
with anything but one horse i'm
so that this extra stock
necessary to prepare the land would
be idle the greater part Of the year.
This is the only objection, of q
serious or weighty nature, that we
have to urge against the mule.

"The Sweet Girl Graduate which
was given by the eighth grade grad
yates in the Armory last evening,
proved to be a great success
The different parts were taken
satisfactorily and the entire play
showed the fine training which was
given the children by their instruct
ors, Misses Patterson, MCCLELLAN and
Lyons.
The chorus work, under the di-
rection of Miss Murray, was much
appreciated, especially the little
girls chorus and drill.
The orchestra, consisting of ten
members of the Bemidji High School
played during the entertainment,
again making it evident that they

every paper published in coun-
ties included in the. association list
is entitled to two representatives at

Won ;lenbaeh. the Painter.

Franz Won Lenbach, the great por-
trait painter, painted three portraits of
the poet Adolph Wilbrandt. On one
occasion the sitting lasted through the
whole day. The afternoon passed, and
dusk came on, but still Lenbach work
ed away without appearing to notice
the failing light. At last it grew so
dark that Wilbrandt could scarcely see
him. He called his attention to this,
saying that it seemed impossible for
him to paint any more. but Lenbach
begged him. unless he was tired, to
continue sitting. but what can you
see of me?" asked the puzzled poet.
"Quite the best of all. Excellent. Sit
still. please" And the sitting only
ended with the last glimmer of light.

Officials Have Been Much Handi-
capped for Some Time By Condi-
ton of Charter.
CONFLICTS WITH STATE LAWS
On Numerous Occasions Propositions
Have Gone Before Council Which
Could Not Be Decided.

Judges w. s. McClenahan, B. F.
Wright and c. w. Stanton, of the
fifteenth judicial district, have APP
pointed board of freeholders, or
charter commission, comprising Is
Bemidji men, whose duty it will be
to revise the charter.
The charter has long been in need
OF revise, the city, seemingly, hav-
ing outgrown it in it's present con-
dition.
During the past few years the city
officials have been more or less handi-
capped by its condition, and on num-
erous occasions matters have come
before the council which could not
legally be decided or arranged for
by them, as conflicts would occur
between the charter and the state
law.
The order of the judges, follows:
