PRACTICAL Gift FOR BEGGAR
Stranger May Have Meant Well, but
His Kindness Was Not In tho
Least Appreciated.

After suffering excruciating tor
lures for six months from doubling
up perfectly sound leg to fit on a
wooden stump the crutch-bearing beg
gar finally succeeded In eliciting SYM
pathy from passerby. With kindly
eyes the stranger eyed the cripple
from top to toe.
'You seem to be in a pretty bad
way" he said.
yes, sir,' whined the cripple.
Couldn't be much worse"
''Too bad,' said the sympathizer.
II must see If something can't be
done for YOU"
Hope beat strongly in the beggar's
breast and he murmured God bless
you," with unusual fervor.
Two days later the sympathizer ap-
peared again and ostentatiously pre-
sented the cripple with the material
1zat1on of his benevolent Intentions.
He gave him a new crutch.

HOLD BOND ELECTION
School Board to Give People An
Opportunity to Pass on $5,-
600 Issue.
ARE FOR THE NORTH END

A school bond election will be held
in the Central school tomorrow ev-
enings at s p. M. The question to
be decided is whether or mot the
school district shall issue $4,000
bonds with which to build an addi-
ton to the north end school and in
stall necessary heating and toilet
facilities.
The petition was first presented to
the school board some time ago but
not action was taken and it was fin
ally decided to have the clerk call an
election. A majority of those voting
will carry the bonds and unless some
unlocked for opposition materializes,
it is probable that the issue will pass.
Members of the school board say
that an addition is not needed at the
north side at present but that one
would relieve the congestion in the
Central and High schools.

Steriiized Coal.

Coal in the mines is one Of the
things freest from germs. Old-time
doctors used to notice coal miners
wounds healed fast, though begrimed
and besmeared with coal dust. For a
long time it has been thought that
breathing in coal dust caused lung dis
eases in miners. Some experts find
fresh coal is as good as sterilized, and
say miners have lung trouble because
they do not take the trouble to put
off their damp and sweaty clothing be-
fore going from the mine to their
homes, thus taking cold in the open
air walk. Experts say our miners
ought to put on warm and dry clothes
at the mouth Of the mine But 1t
seems the miners have minds Of their
own, and although the coal companies
in some places fixed up hot and cold
water baths and dressing rooms at the
mouth Of the mines the men would
not use them, but went home to wash
and dress, as had been their custom
for generations.

, Of April 4. If interested, order

Continued from Yesterday
Many Varieties.

Mr.. Marshall, supervisor of the ma
tional forest at Cass Lake: 0Mr.
Chairman: The conditions of brush
burning are a good deal like Heinz
pickles. There are five hundred and
fifty varieties. AS to how brush
should be burned. You can go at it
in two ways. Brush is burned for
two reasons, to clear the land for re-
forestry and for fire protection. Our
rules are rigid and the cost would be
from fifty to seventy-five cents and
up to one dollar, on such rigid rules.
We are simply burning for fire pro-
lection and I don't consider that the
cost is going to run so high.
81 think some of the men are mis-
taken as to Mr.. Cox's idea. They are
not to burn every bit of brush. 1
think Mr.. Cox is very liberal in his
views, and he admits that conditions
warrant that brush can be burned
Wholesale in some places and there
are certain places where it should
not be burned wholesale. There are
little islands where it would not
bother much if we never burned any
brush at all. AS to leaving the burn
ing until fall, think that would be
pretty dangerous. Fall fires are a
great deal worse than spring fires. I
have fought fires when the ground
was frozen so hard could not shovel
dirt to fight the fires. In the fall if
the ground is dry clear down, it is.
very hard to put it out. l think it is
a good deal better to burn the brush
in the spring.
"There are places where the costs
of burning run up to dollar, but I
don't think on the whole that it costs
that much. I think in this meeting,
where the lumbermen and the state
forestry service are together, that 1t
is simply each one finding out what
the other wants and establishing
policy and let the lumbermen know
what the law means, that the brush
would be burned when the forester
deems best. Mr. Cox here has done
his utmost and the lumbermen will
meet him half way and think it will
work out alright. In some cases, it
Is true that the land costs $3.50. The
lumberman is running for the money
that is in it, not to see his wheels go
round. But you that have to dis
pose of that land some day, isn't it
possible that this brush burning will
in some way increase the value of
that land. You will get a higher
price per acre. If you take into con-
sideration the mere burning, it may
Increase the value of the land and
Offset the burning of3the brush

MEETING IN THE CITY HALL
Called for $3.50 P. ~M.-Others May
Make Addresses at the Same
Time.

:Jie Sageng, state senator and fam
GUS politician, will deliver an ad-
dress in the city hall tomorrow even
ms at $50 p. m. Mr.. Sageng is an
arden. admirer of Senator Robert M.
La Toilette and his coming at this
time is looked upon as being the first
gua to be fired in this section by the
La Toilette campaign managers. His
subject will be La Toilette Progress
sivism"
Senator Sageng hail from Otter
Tail county and has been active in
politics for many years. He has
served in both houses of the state
legislature and while his ambition
at mes has led him to seek a seat
Washington, he has never been able
to win the necessary election.
The La Toilette campaign in Min
ne?o+a has been quiet to date but it
is expected that with the approach of
III county conventions the campaign
will become hot. While there is no
definite knowledge that Mr.. La Fol-
lette will make a speaking tour of
this state, it is said by those appar-
emily in touch with his managers
tnac he will do so if possible and
will make a tour similar to the one
in North Dakota.
Considerable dissatisfaction ap-
pears to be felt in this part of the
state ever the neglect of the state
Republican machine and state CEN
trail committee to use the preferen-
tia presidential primary as a means
to ;llCw the people to express their
choice directly for their candidate
lo, the nomination. It appears to be
tht opinion that the administration
TINS acknowledges it's own weakness
and is afraid to trust the people.
Senator Sageng speaks in Crook
ston tonight and will speak some
where on the Great Northern line
tomorrow night. He is making a
shor; tour of this section.

RATE CASE IS CALLED
Minnesota Lawyers in Washington
Are Ready to Argue Before the
Supreme Court. "
MAY BE REACHED THURSDAY

Washington, April 2.-Counsel for
both sides in the Minnesota rate cases
in Washington prepared to pro-
coed with the arguments before. the
Supreme Court. They include. At
torney General Lyndon, A. Smith,
Thomas D. O'Brien and Edward T:
Young, representing the state, and
G. w. Bum, Pierce Butler and Hale
Holden, representing the railroads.
Jared How, who also appeared in be-
half of the railroads in the trial of
the case in Minnesota, is not expect
Cd to come to Washington as he is
reported to be on a case in Michigan.
The Minnesota attorneys are
awaiting the arrival of counsel in
other rate cases that are on the Su-
preme Court docket for argument
next week and probably will hold a
conference tomorrow with view to
agreeing upon division of time and
order in which the cases will be pre-
sented. It is doubtful, however,
whether the order in which the cases
now stand on. the court calendar will
be changed, and this will prevent the
Minnesota case from being reached
before Thursday and possibly not un-
til the following Monday. 1t is ex-
pected that the court will grant ad-
ditional time for the argument of
each of the cases and that a larger
allowance will be granted in the Min
nesota cases, because of the question
of the valuation of the railroads. that
is an important issue before the
court. ILL., ...>.

counsel in the Hartman merger

pear before the court. These cases,
however, are assigned for argument
after the state cases, and will GER

Every American citizen with a
particle of national pride cannot
help but resent and regret the un-
seemly spectacle of our two most
eminent citizens engaged in a
squabble over the highest Office in
the gift of the interests.
If one-half of that which each
charges the other with be true,
both should be locked up as pub
lie enemies. The white and black
"hopes" of the prize ring are out
done in months of billingsgate be-
fore the real fight.

other choice names. | begin to
feel that | was not such bad citi-
zen after all. Certainly I never
had their opportunities.
Really, if this keeps up, we may
learn the truth about lot of
things.
When all is said and done, we
are being held up to the ridicule
and scorn of Europe by this per-
formance and it will probably re-
suit in the permanent retirement

pal actors.
1t is a comfort to know that no.
thing which has ever been charged
against me by my worst enemies
compares in villainy with the
charges such eminent authorities
as President Taft and Mr.. Roose-
velt have made and are making
against each other. Let us hope
that the evidence of their inno-
cence will not be debarred by the

Missouri College of Agriculture
Will Help Farmers Build
SiIOs.

The College of Agriculture of
the University of Missouri has
perfected plans to help farmers
build concrete silos. The chief
difficulty which confronts the in
dividual farmer who wants to
build concrete silo is the expense
of the "forms" used in the con-
struction. If several farmers Join
in making the forms it is less
expensive. 1t costs still less to
rent the forms. The College of
Agriculture has made a limited
number of these forms for build
ing concrete silos and will rent
them to farmers under the follow
ing conditions:
l. AT least three farmers in a
community must apply at one time.
2. The rental charge will be
ten dollars each when there are
three farmers, nine dollars each
for five farmers, and eight dollars
each when six or more silos are
constructed in one community.
The rental must be paid in ad-
vance.
3. The College will send man
free to help start the construction
of the first silo, and will pay the
freight on the forms.
If "a group of farmers desire to
construct their own forms, plans
and specifications will be furnish
ed under certain conditions. I'm
der the latter plan the College will
send a man when possible to help
start the building of the first silo,
provided his expenses are paid by
the farmers.
Full information regarding this
plan of cooperation silo building
may be had by writing to the Uni
versity of Missouri Dairy Depart
ment, Columbia, Mo.
