Farmer Game.


For this game all pretend to be farm
ers. The players are divided into two
equal sides. One Of the sides goes off
at distance to determine upon what
fruit or vegetable to bring to town
and how to show the manner In which
it was raised. Then the acting side
marches in a line to the guessing side,
which says, "Who are your" The acting
side announces Farmers" What do
you sell?' Products from our farm"
How did you raise them?" This way"
And the acting side goes through some
motion agreed upon which shows how
the potatoes were dug or put into bags.
If corn Is chosen the planting may be
shown, or the cutting. the shocking or
the husking. When fruits are chosen
the players may pretend to be plant
ing, pruning, picking or packing.
As soon as the guessing side guesses
the product the acting side runs, for
the players on the other side try to
capture as many actors as possible. IL
the product Is not guessed, but Is given
up, the acting side chooses another
product and has another turn at act
ing. The object Of the game is not
only to guess the product, but to cap
ture farmers. The first side capturing
half of the farmers of the other side
wins the game. If the game starts out
with eight players on each side, the
side which grows to have twelve play
ers first wins the game.

POLITICAL INACTIVITY.

Prof. Kelly Miller in the Political
Capacity of the Negro" says that
elimination of the Negro from office
means his elimination from politics.
The Negro should have voice in
the affairs governmental, both local
and national, in proportion to the sup
port he gives that government.
The Negro is due some political
representation as a matter of right,
not as matter of favor. Numerical
ly we are strong enough to demand
this. If we get together.
The Negroes Of Hennepin Co.,
should interest themselves in the

UNLIMITED LAWLEssNEss.

The sentiment OF the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. The
lynching Of Negroes by white men
Is prevalent, yet the lynching Of
white men by white men has proven
that this lawlessness Is not born Of
prejudice alone, but out OF custom
practiced by these public execu-
TONERS, who disregard the written
laws Of the land and hold justice as
mockery.

What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, Of course, and II

In handling news II observes the
decencies and amenities Of life. II
never wantonly brings shame or sor

Stunu on the TONGUE,

Ever get stung by bee? 1t Is not
pleasant. If there are plenty Of bees
they sting you in the most convenient
place, but if there is only one you are
pretty sure to get it on the nose, quite
as If the bee understands that It
could not do much worse for you. One
bee that lived down south In Indiana
went a little further than that The
man that it was having a difference
of opinion with had his mouth open,
and 1t stung him on the tongue. 1t is
bad enough to be stung on the nose,
but there is all outdoors for the nose
to swell into. The tongue has not SO
much room, and the man was nearly
suffocated before the swelling went
down. You see, the real cure for bee
sting is a poultice of mud. but the
man said that he did not like the taste
Of mud, and so his tongue had to stay
swollen for awhile.-Chicago News.

RESOURCES OF COUNTRY
ARE NOT VANISHING

The theory that the American people,
individually and collectively, are TOO In
competent, dishonest and wasteful 70 set
tie freely upon our lands. open up our
mines irrigate our fields or establish in
dustrial operations based upon the native
resources Of the country; that there is no
further use for the prospector, the dis
coverer. the homestead, settler the miner
ths Industrial worker and the empire
builder, is a fair statement of the con-
tentions Of the conservation propaganda.
The main contention. however, upon
which our conservation statesmen base
their arguments is the false and ridic-
ulous one that our resources are van
ishing and that as a nation we are facing
an impending famine of oil, iron, coal,
phosphates. timber. water. grass. etc.
The real scientific and economic facts
show conclusiyely that never in our his
tory has there been such a remarkable
output Of developed native products or
such enormous areas of undeveloped re-
sources as have been recently discovered
and defined by scientific investigation.
~ANSNANaiS " tAhilAdA We nave
about 60000o.Oo0 acres of timber land in
this country. Germany has 100000 acres
and Is not at all worried about its future
supply. The forest growth of Germany
is estimated at $50 feet OF board measure
per acre annually. II we estimate our
forest growth at 800 feet. or less than
one-haf OF the German increase. our
total increase from forest growth amounts
to 1se,OOc.o00o 900 feet annually. As we con-
sumo about 59cOo.0o0,Ooo per annum this
increase alone Is more than three times
the amount we consume as a nation
Allowing for losses by forest fires and
waste, our forests are now producing by
natural growth more than twice as much
as the nation consumes.
The chief forester a few years ago
threw the scare Of an impending iron ore
famine into the American people. We
were seriously notified that our supply
Of iron ore would last only forty or
fifty years longer. The Investigations Of
the United States geological survey in
1853 show that the known iron ore de-
posits of the United States amount to
&, SO, 5000 tons, or enough to supply
the country, at the present rate Of con-
sumption. 1,34o years. 1t should be re-
membered that a large percentage OF the
iron smelted in our furnaces consists Of
scrap iron. and, as the age progresses,
every kind OF iron manufacture will go
back into our furnaces in an ever in
ereasing supply. and this reutiiization Of
iron will extend the supply TO probably
200o years
Twenty-Five years ago a gold famine
was predicted. Stree then the output Of
gold in the world has been so great as
TO alarm our financiers. and It has be-
some 50 cheap and abundant as to raise
the scale Of prizes. Our copper resources
are so immense that now the supply Of
copper IS far beyond the demand, ami
