BOOST HOME MADE GOODS
Annual Home Products Banquet to be
Held in April Saint Paul
Label on Everything.
ADVERTISERS HAVE 5TH DINNER

The organization of Saint Paul adj
vertising men, known as the Town
Criers Club, are planning their Fifth
Annual Saint Paul Products Dinner
for Wednesday evening, Apri! 18th.
This affair has come to be a very
large and elaborate one, in which
a great deal of interest is taken, not
only by the advertising men, but by
Saint Paul manufacturers and mer-
chants as we'll. -.
An innovation this year will be the
admittance of the women of Saint
Paul to this Home Products Feast,
which is made at the earnest sugges-
ton of the Town Criers themselves.
and the Saint Paul manufacturers
and merchants who take part in the
affair. 1t is contended that in this
way the women buyers of the PRO-
ducts which the banquet is to boost
will have an opportunity to sample
the goods and as result they will
be even more solicitious about getting
home products for their own tables
than they naturally are as true Saint
Paul citizens IT,
The dinner, like it's predecessors,
will have nothing on .the menu not
made in Saint Paul Everything
from the linen and dishes on the table
to the coffee and cigars will bear a
Saint Paul brand.
Among the prominent speakers will
be Governor Eberhart, of Minnesota,
President Vincent of the University
of Minnesota, Mayor Keller, and Off
GERS of the various business and COM
mercial organizations of Saint Paul
Attractive souvenirs will be pre-
sented to each guest, provided by
manufacturers, wholesalers and mer-
chants of Saint Paul.

Always Says Something.

Dr.. Vincent is know as a man who
gets up from the chair says SOME
THING, then sits down. Last night
was no exception to that widely
known characteristic of the man, and
from the time he left his chair, after
being introduced by George E. Keen
an, president of the Teachers Asso-
citation, the large audience felt that
something good was coming. and
when he had concluded, that opin-
ion had been sustained
Divided His Subject
His subject, THE Duty of the New
School, was divided into three divi-
sions. and every point which he wish
ed to impress fully upon the minds
of his listeners he illustrated by Civ
ing some mental picture, usually con-
tanning more or less wit, charac-
teristic which marked his talk from
the very beginning and continued
throughout his entire lecture.
President Vincent, in the first
place, outlined his lecture Educa-
ton, he said was to train the man for
efficiency. Efficiency is determined
by three things: wisdom
and enthusiasm. 1t was the purpose
of his talk to define and explain each
one of these.
In effect Dr. Vincent's lecture was
as follows:
knowledge is not the promiscuous
accumulation of uncOnnected and un-
related facts, but the systematic ar
rangement OF such facts as may be
Of use in any one particular phase or
vocation of life. Some persons are in
the habit of getting all the ideas they
can, and then perpertrating these
thoughts upon those with whom they
come in contact. This is not real
knowledge. but proves to be a real
nuisance. knowledge means the
classification in ones mind of what
ever facts he may acquire.
TO be able to apply this knowledge
to the specific problems in life con-
stitutes wisdom. One may get all
the knowledge that the colleges can
offer, but unless they have wisdom,
the power to put that knowledge into
every day life and living, they are as
useless to the world and to them
selves as if they had no knowledge,
at all
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1912-02-09
Must Have Enthusiasm.

These two things are not enough
to make man or woman successful
in life. A third factor is enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm, DR.. Vincent explained,
does not mean only feeling and senti-
ment; it means force, energy and de-
termination. 1t is this which keeps
men in contact with the world which
makes them practical, which gives
them the power to stick to problems.
Without enthusiasm, we educate men
only to be clever, and often clever
men are more dangerous than ignor-
ant men.
Nor should we try to get too much
of any one of these factors. We
should acquire knowledge, wisdom
and enthusiasm only in their right
proportions. Without enthusiasm,
one is forced to rely upon ones wis
dom and knowledge, and with only
these two factors one tends to become
too material. Without wisdom, one
exercises ones enthusiasm and know
ledge together in such way that he
gives an appearance of being awk-
ward and a bore. knowledge temp

ers wisdom and enthusiasm, and gives
them the backing, without which
they are mere puns. ..
The universities and schools can.
not do all the training necessary to
make the efficient man or woman
"The talk at your dinner table has
more to do with the character of your
child than the schools ever can do"
he stated. When working in cooper
alton with the home, the schools can
do marvels in working out the char
acter OF a boy or girl, but when they
must work in opposition to these
homes, they are powerless.
Object of Education.
The object of education is not
only to train men and women for the
material aims of this world. 1t is to
teach them to solve the problems of
Happiness. and to make themselves
enjoy all there is in this world. With
out education we lose half of the hap
piness there is in the world, and if
We train ourselves only for the bust
ness side of life, we miss the greater
part Of education.
Humor Everywhere Evident.
His humor was bright and every
where evident. He said, that the rea-
son for there being so much know
ledge at the great universities and
colleges Of the country is that the
Freshmen bring some knowledge with
them and the Seniors take none of it
away. 1t is a great deal habit that
makes a man bow to a lady when he
meets her on the street. However,
he remarked, it is very pleasing to
see one of the stronger sex do honor
to one Of the --stron gest. Although at
on OF the strongest. Although at
times. he was unusually earnest and
sober, at others his wit carried his
completely, and the ap-
plause shook the building several
times in the course of his lecture
Man With Personality.

WHO is 1T TRYING TO Cypress
THE FARMER?

1t seems to US at the present high
prices OF farm products, that, like
pigs. our farmers ought 10 be living
in clover Surely they ought to be
the last to join the army of the dis
contented. Eggs are selling for forty
five cents a dozen Less than three
dozen eggs can buy a subscription to
the Ocala Weekly Banner for a whole
year. At the time Of its establish
ment-counting page for page-it
would have required as many as twen-
ty-tive dozen. A good sized pig is
now worth what a good sized steer
was worth few years ago, and a
steer now Will bring more than a
bale OF cotton would have brought
some years ago The San Antonio
(Texas) Express is before US, and
here is the way it tells about the
changed conditions:
Yes. a pig now sells at from S25
to $40, according to its size, which is
a pretty big bunch Of money for a
pig. In the old days a hog was
scarcely fit for market until a year
and a half or two years old, so it
cost considerable to raise one, but
now pig of nine or ten months old is
popular. and it can be produced at
comparatively small expense Time
was when bale of cotton would not
sell for more than $25, though now,
together with the seed. it brings A
much better price But a pig is still
a very profitable animal. and the won
der is that so many Texas farmers
fail TO appdeciate this fact"
We can remember when sweet po-
tatoes were a drag on the market at
forty cents a bushel Now they are
retailing at thirty-fve cents per peck.
Chickens are bringing fifty, seventy
five and ninety-fve cents piece.
Country butter is forty-five cents per
pound and milk twelve and a half
cents per quart. Tell us, please, who
it is that is trying to Cypress the
farmer? Surely it is not the fellows
who are compelled to give those prize
es?

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
THE PHYSICAL LABORER.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

A southern lawyer has written to me
and said: why have you failed 10 men
ton in your different lists OF beneficial
exercise such wholesome vocations as
saving wood and digging bitches?
The reason I have never classified these
features of physical labor in my talks on
exercise Is because they are matters OF
physical servitude rather than fitness.
Perhaps more than anybody else the pro-
fessional athlete realizes the vas, p ysicai
inferiority of the man engaged N really
hard daily labor, =
First of all. he has exercised only
those muScles.athat are required in the
performauce OF his task. Pat him to
some new e3ertion where other muscles
are called into play and he is very little
SUPERIOR to the man who gets practi-
caIly no exercise at all.
The second consideration is that he IS
muscle-b bound, whereas the business and
professional men wart to be supple They
want to feel timber and niEfble. Saving
wood, digging "A ditch. working in a mia
