Select Guernsey Cattle As Best For
Purpose in This Northern
Section.
ASSN. PREPARED TO DISTRIBUTE
Next Annual Meeting Will Be Held
at Grand Rapids, Minnesota,
Next June.

named association was held at Carl
ton, MIMI, on June 18th. This meet
ing marked the fourth year of the
association and while it's actual men,
bership has not greatly increased
during this time the number of pure
bred animals owned by the members
of the association has, and it's work
and influence has increased until now
it is ready to announce it's purpose
as permanent organization.
AS the name signifies the associa-
ton has for it's purpose the breeding
of Guernsey cattle or more properly
speaking the breeding of dairy cat
tie. The Guernsey breed was select
ed because this breed seems best for
the conditions of the country, and
only one dairy breed was selected for
the reason that greater results can
be secured by combining on one breed
than by division on many breeds.
A roll call at the annual meeting
showed that there are over ,225 reg
istered Guernsey cattle owned by
members of the association and sew
eral hundred grades.
The association is now prepared to
distribute breeding stock in consid-
cradle numbers and many ask why
the Guernsey breed of cattle in pref
erence to the other excellent breeds?
The answer is this: The timbered
section of Northern Minnesota and
Northern Wisconsin is primarily
dairy section. The acres under the
plow from which winter feed can be
produced are few and every ton of
feed grown must be converted into
the highest value possible. Feed con-
verted into butter by good dairy
COW will bring the farmer five times
as much profit as if the same feed
had been converted into beef by
beef animal. Since winter feed is
scarce the beef animal then is out of
the question except where the farm
er may have large natural meadows.
Then the question arises: Which
dairy breed? This, depends upon
whether milk, cheese or butter is to
be the chief product sold.
It has been found that butter is
the chief product and this being the
case the dairy breed that will pro-
duce butter the cheapest is the best
breed for the farmer. The Guern-
seys have proved their superiority in
the production of butter at the least
cost. They not only produce butter
cheaply but they give a large guam
tity of rich colored milk. They are
quiet in disposition, easy to handle,
and the sires are rarely vicious. The
grade Guernsey COW has proved high
ly satisfactory to farmers who have
taken up this breed and the demand
for registered animals makes the
breeding of pure bred stock profitable
for those who engage in it.
The Guernsey Breeders association
is ready to assist the farmers toward
better dairy stock. The officers of
the association are as follows: presi-
dent, Geo. G.. Cooper, Superior. Wis:
secretary and treasurer, M. E. Balm
ard, Carlton, Mimi; executive COM
mittee, John G. Williams, Duluth,
MIMI, Harry Patterson, Barnum,

The next annual meeting will be

Gentlemen of the Convention:
Believe that appreciate this express
sion of confidence. I wish I were
more competent for the service you
require of me.
"The struggle for leadership in the
Republican party, which has so long
engrossed the attention and excited
the feelings of it's members, is about
to be determined by the selection of
q candidate. The varying claims of
opinion for recognition in the politf-
cal creed of the party are about to be
settled by the adoption of platform.
The supreme council Of the party in
this great national convention, rep
resenting every state and territory in
due proportion, according to rules,
long since established, is about to ap-
peal to the American people for the
continuance Of the power of govern
ment, which the party has exercised
with but brief Interruptions for more
than half a century and that appeal
Is to be based upon soundness of prin-
ctple, and the qualities Of the candi-
dates, selected by the convention.
In the performance of this duty
by the convention and in acceptance
OF its conclusions by the Republicans
Is to be applied the ever recurring
test OF party's fitness to govern, it's
conference and its formative and con-
trolling power of organization.
And this depends upon the will
lingness of the members of the party
to subordinate their varying individu-
al opinions and postpone matters of
difference between them in order
that they may act in unison upon the
great questions wherein they agree:
upon their willingness and capacity
to thrust aside the disappointment
which some Of them must always feel
In failing to secure success for the

The Gyroscope.

The gyroscope was then demon
strated by Dr. Newkirk, professor of
mathematics at the University of
Minnesota, and the modern applica-
lions of this puzzling principle were
shown. Following a brief lecture in
which the various actions of the gy-
roscope were classified and explained,
he proceeded to the demonstration of
working models, of which there were
several.
Attached to ship suspended upon
rubber bands, the gyroscope resisted
all attempts to produce a continuous
rocking of the boat by simulated
wave motions, and exhibited a re-
markable and energetic damping eff
feet upon all tipping motions of the
craft.
A monorail car, with a gyroscope
mounted upon it, was run up and
down wire running from the stage
to the gallery, over the heads of the
audience, and it was wonderful to see
the car supported by but one wheel
under each end, and yet maintaining
an upright position. Any effort to tip
it made it lean toward the applied
force, rather than away from it, and
load of several pounds placed upon
one side, caused that side to raise
slightly instead of settling.
A gyroscopic dumbell also furnish
ed much amusement, as it always
turned in the direction opposite that
to which the pressure was applied. A
sharp blow did not disturb the spin
ming horoscopes, and a steady pres
sure only produced movement at
right angles.

FIGHT IT OUT IN THE COURTS
An Election Contest That Develops
From Truman, MINI.

FairmOnt, March 30.-Paul c.
Cooper of Truman, as attorney for
the contestant, has filed the affidavit
and other legal papers in an elec.
ton contest case from the village OF
Triumph which contains some very
knotty questions to be raveled out
and made plain by the district court
The affidavit recites that at the
village election in Triumph on
March II, Fl. P. Anderson and d. w.
Sweesey, opposing candidates. each
flee of trustees OF the village: that
fee of trustee of the villageZ that
the board settled the matter by lot,
in accordance with the provisions OF
the law, and Anderson won and was
declared elected.
Later it is alleged the board dis
covered one more ballot sticking
on the inside of the ballot box which
has not been counted, and that bal
lot was in favor of Sweesey. There
upon the board repudiated or re-
scinded their former action and de-
clared Mr.. Sweesey elected trustee.
The contention of the contestant
is that only sixty-two ballots were
recorded on the poll list and if an
other ballot was found in the box
after the vote had been counted, il
could not have been a ballot cast
in regular form, as by counting it
there would be sixty-three ballots all
told, one more than shown upon the
tally sheets.
The version of Mr.. Sweesey and
his friends has not yet been made
public, but whatever their contention
may be it will prove a new and
very interesting sort of acase.

Redwood Falls, March 30.-An ex.
pertinent took place at the Sears
Gold stock farm near Wabasso Fri
day, the result of which will be
closely watched by the many skepti-
cal farmers who believe it to be a
dubious proposition. The two large
silos with capacity of 400 tons of
ensilage were nearly empty, so the
management decided to refill them
with corn stalks that had been in
the field all winter The dry corn
stalks were chopped up in the same
manner that they are when freshly
cut in the fall, and both silos were
filled. 80. ..
The result of the experiment will
be closely watched with keen inter-
est for it is . believed by many to
be impractical The silo is fast and
steadily gaining ground in Redwood
county. Last year more than twenty
were constructed and it is reported
that there are fully thirty in the
county today, while it is predicted
that there will be at least fifty to
100 in another year, according to
silo dealers. Silo farmers say that
the silo proved to be staunch fac
tor during the scarcity of forage the
past year.

Spirit Of Rivalry Was Strong in
Evidence Last Night.
FIGHTING OVER A BATTEE AXE
Some Excitement and Two Members
OF the Faculty Were, It Is Said.
.J0stIed Round.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Rivalry between the two high
school literary societies was in evil
dence last night, especially following
the debate. High school pranks of
various kinds have figured in the
actions OF the students during the
past week, and ended mp last night
with something that took on the as
pect of college cane rush. After
the debate large number of the
students and all the debaters went
down TO a local confectionery store
TO indulge in a few ice cream sodas
and to quench their parched threats
from the excessive yelling and talk.
ing at the school an hour before On
their way down, a few PhilOmathians
secured tin axe at a cigar store
This they triumphantly carried with
them to the confectionery store and
leaned it up like n battle axe after
the fray, against the table while
they dipped their spoons in the soft
ice cream.
Zetamathians Seized the Axe.
However, few Zetamathians hap
pened along at that time and spied
the axe. Immediately they made a
rush for the implement of war and
soon the tables and chairs were be.
ing scattered around the refreshment
parlor. The tussle led outside and
once ON the sidewalk the youngsters
of the two societies began to try
left hand wallops to the face" and
solar plexus knockouts," to use the
vernacular of the squared circle. 1t
is understood that two members of
the high school faculty were present,
and they were jostled some. The
tussle led up the street to the cor
ner of Front and Cherry streets. A
few minutes after midnight some of
the lads were still shouting as if
they had won victory.
Much of this rivalry was due to
the fact that the Philomathians won
back the silver cup at the debate
last night The Zetamathians had
held the cup this year but during
the four previous years the Philo'
mathians had held it, and now won
it back.
Franks Few Nights Ago.
Franks by the high school stu
dents started a few nights ago, as
related in The Free Press, when the
floor in one of the rooms of the high
school building was strewn with books.
On the following morning, Professor J..
G.. Norby told the students that I'M
less they produced the guilty par
ties by six O'Clock that evening the
debate would not be held, and Of
course this was inviting disaster,
for the inter-society debate of the
high school has always caused more
interest than even the debaters held
with teams from other cities. Final
ly the students produced" the guilty
parties. Sentence has not yet been
pronounced.
