E. M. Phillips, rural commission
er of schools, addressed the Mems
Club in the basement of the M. E
church last evening on the subject
of Handling the Boy
Supper was served under the
auspices of the Mems club, after
which the large assembly prepared
themselves to hear Mr.. Phillips,
who treated his subject in logical
and interesting manner Mr.. Beb-
ermeyer introduced the speaker,
who said that Mr.. Bebermeyer re-
quested him to say something which
would cause discussion. His ad-
dress was one which treated upon
the life of the young man at the
age of 2 to Is years. The speaker
said that the church, school and
home environment were the three
fundamental agencies in building
the boys character, and in shaping
his ideas to meet the issues of man
hood" He also said he believed
that the present situation in the ma
jority of churches discouraged the
average boys interest instead of in
spring him.
Mr.. Phillips suggestion that the
church should provide pool tables
and space for dancing as a
means to attract the young people,
met with severe criticism.
Rev. C. F. Martin said he "did
not approve of the pool table and
dance in connection with the church

and capable leaders.
If the reports of the last few days
prove true, these men may be sent
to the Mexican border. A report
from Washington says that if condi-
tions in Mexico do not improve, the
militia from Minnesota, Iowa and
other northwestern states will be
ordered to the border without de-
lay.
Captain Inglis has received no in
timation that the company will be
ordered south, but it's a safe bet
that the officers and their men will
be ready to respond the moment
orders are received.

At your requestI will try and fur
nish you a few articles on origin,
use and selection of seed corn, test
ing seed corn, preparation of
ground, planting, cultivation and
breeding of corn.
If anything in these articles will
be of interest or benefit to anyone
don't give credit to the writer. but
rather to those who have worked
and toiled in the p st and by their
efforts have made it possible for me
to furnish you these articles.
For the Corn Growers
In choosing a business profession
or calling in life one should choose
that which will give him or her the
m 0 happiness. Happiness is
wealth. One can be happy without
being rich, holding office or becom-
ing famous. And | am not 50 sure
one can be happy by being rich,
holding Office or being famous.
This article and the ones that are
to follow are supposed to be of most
interest to those who have chosen
agriculture as their calling. and
more especially to those who are
making corn husbandry speciality.
Indian corn or maize, the original
name of corn is zey mays, is a spe-
cies of the grass family. Corn is
said to have become the most i'm
portant food plant next to rice.
Corn originated in America and is
probably native of Mexico. The
Indians were cultiyating corn at the
time America was discovered and
using it for food From that time
to the present it has been called In
dian Corn. Many varieties of corn
have been developed, but it is sup
posed they have been derived from
the one species.
Many Varieties of Corn
There are many kinds of corn in
this day and age. We have the
Dent corn. Flint corn. Pop corn,
Sweet corn, ETC., etc. Sweet corn
is distinguished from other varieties
by its wrinkled and shriyeled kern
els. Pop corn is characterized by
the excessive development of the
end sperm and by the very small
size of the kernels and ears.

JOkED THE Statesmen
Rud Stensvad and Fred Muir
set Have Pleasant Time
at Auto Show

Fred Murset and Rud Stensvad
had novel experience OF the recent
auto show at Minneapolis that is
we'll worth relating. Fred sells the
Chalmers and Rud the Cadillac.
They are the best of friends and
keep their demonstrating cars side
by side at Lobdell's garage.
The rivalry between the two CON-
peting factories is very keen and
this spirit manifested itself quite
plainly at the show. While Fred
and Rud were strolling through the
armory arm in arm, they stopped at
the Chalmers stand and listened to
the stream of brilliant talk which
flowed like torrent from the elo-
quent salesman. The way he
knocked the Cadillac car was a
caution. A few steps further was
the Cadillac stand where a fellow
stood and enunciated an annihilat-
ing line of talk against the Chal-
mers. Both the Redwood Falls
dealers listened and smiled while
the versatile statesmen talked.
Later in the day both statesmen
learned that Fred and Rud were
Chalmers and Cadillac dealers at
Redwood and that they were the
best of friends. which fact puzzled
them considerably.

GEORGE WHITTET
ON SEED CORN
Well Known Farmer Writes
Articles for Gazette on
Corn Raising

George Whittet, one of the
best known and most capable
farmers of Redwood county,
probably is as we'll informed on
the subject of corn raising as
any man in southwestern Mime
sofa. His services were eagerly
sought for last winter by the
Farmers Institute department
of the state agricultural college
and his past success justified
the attitude of the college fac
ulty.
At the request of The Gazette
Mr.. Whittet has consented to
write three or four articles on
corn. The first of these appears
this week.

REDWOOD FALLS
AND ITS FUTURE
Opening of Spring Suggests Re-
view of Attractive Features
Of This City
NO PLACE IN THE STATE BEATS 1T
Nature joins with Mans Ener-
9y To Make 1t Dominant
In The West

With the advent of spring and the
opening of what promises to be a
great year the following review of
the situation here is considered
apropos:
Redwood Falls is without doubt
one of, if not the most, thriving city
of its size in the state. No where
in this vast, mighty northwest is
there city that has such wealth of
natural beauty, successful business
enterprises, and so promising flu
ture as has Redwood Falls.
It is situated in the very heart of
the most fertile agricultural land in
southern Minnesota and is being
titled by a high type of men, whose
efficient husbandry. clean character,
and integrity have contributed much
towards. moulding Redwood Falls
into an ideal city.
The city has a municipal water
works, excellent sewerage, electric
light system, a Carnegie library, six
churches, two newspapers. two fine
banks, one exclusive ladies furnish
ing store, two exclusive clothing
stores. two big department stores,
three hardware stores, four exclu-
sive grocery stores. an excellent
creamery, a cold storage plant, two
meat markets and the finest garage
outside the cities.
1t is the county seat of one of the
most prosperous counties in the
gopher state. and coast to coast
highway promises to make this city
Yeritable hub of industry and a
mercantile center.
The church influence is strong and
from an educational standpoint Red
wood Falls leads many cities with
larger population. The schools here
equal the best in the state. The
teachers and faculty are selected
with the keenest discrimination,
which fact explains why there are
so many out of town students at
tending the high school, a number
that is growing each year.
In addition to the wealth Of grand
eur and scenic spIendor which prac-
tically surrounds the city. Redwood
has a state park of which the
neighboring cities may we'll feel en-
vious. In fact this impressive nat
ural beauty in this vast, expansive
stretch OF western prairie.
The Chautauqua which has been
an annual event here for the past
three years will be held in the city
again this year.
The annual county fair and the
Chautauqua are two features which
offer the highest class of entertain
ment.
There is some talk of a hospital
being built in the near future, in
fact it is believed by many that an
institution of this sort will soon be
a boon to the city.
The population of Redwood Falls
is steadily growing toward the 1000
mark. 1t has been, and IS the home
of several eminent statesmen, and
her business men are progressive in
every respect.

MAMMOTH TUSk
BURIED IN ICE
E. P. Byram Has Ivory Cut
from Gigantic Tooth
Found In Alaska
1T IS OWNED BY HIS NEPHEW
Now Being Carved into Orna-
ments By judge at St.
Joseph

E. P. Byram, retired local con-
tractor and civil war veteran who
recently returned from st. Joseph,
Mo, where he visited his nephew,
Judge Mort Craig, has in his posses
sion a very interesting chunk of
ivory which was cut from tusk
measuring IA feet long and five
inches in thickness, found by the
Judges father, who is chemist
and assayor for several large gold
mining companies. in Alaska.
Mr.. Byram says that the tusk was
found deeply imbeded under tons of
ice and snow in the Alaskan noun
tains by party of prospectors and
geoloQ lists and at some prehistoric
time must have oruamented one of
the monster mammoths whose bodies
are occasionally found frozen in the
Arctic ice.
Shipped Tusk from Alaska
The assayer shipped the tusk to
his son, the Judge. at st. Joseph,
Mo, who is something of carver,
and who is converting the tusk into
artistically carved pipes and orna-
ments for hat pins as souvenirs for
friends and relatives.
There is an interesting story con-
nected with the finding of the tusk
which came to the Judge in the
form of letter from his father who
was leading the party Of scientists
and prospectors through the pic
turesque mountains in quest of gold
and geological specimens.
The party gathered at Sushitna.
a small mining village in the Alas
kan mountains, located in high
altitude on the thin edge of civiliza-
ton.
Tramped Into Icy Wilderness
When all was in readiness they set
forth with knapsack, staff and dogs,
facing a trail through virgin noun
tains.
The party struggled, and rested
for FIVE days in the midst of the for
bidding grimness of ice covered cliffs
and snow capped peaks, when GER
tain rare geological formations from
which the professors deemed it pru-
dent to collect samples, brought the
party to halt.
Struck End OF Tusk
After several hours of laborious
effort Mr.. Craig struck the pointed
end of a huge tusk with his pick. A
keen scrutiny of the find followed
after which all hands went to work
franticalIy to excavate the precious
relic.
1t was believed that more of the
mammoth's bones would be found;
but in this the searchers were disap-
pointed.
When the Ia foot tooth reached
Judge Craig at st. Joseph. Mo-, it
proved an interesting curiosity to
many of his friends who requested
that it be placed on exhibition which
request the Judge granted before
cutting and carvingit into souvenirs.
The following clipping from the

The following clipping from the
Aledo, (Ill.,) Times Review proves
that the land business is on the hump
down there while the price is not to
be sneezed at: Transfers of farm
lands in Mclean county aggregated

deals in agricultur al realty in one
day. The average price an acre,

record.

DAVIS DISCUSTED
Van BUREN PEOPLE

Crawford county can now be safely
counted in the Brundidge column, ac-
ccrding to several citizens of Van Bu-
ren, who We're in the city this morn
ing and report an almost total aband-
onment of Senator Davis, as result
OF his attempt to make a speech at
Van Buren last night, says the Fort
Smith Times Record
The pitcher that goes to the well
too often gets broken Senator Davis
is neither a pitcher nor had he been
going to the well, before he reached
Van Buren last evening. In fact, Da-
Wis spent several hours here and dur
ing that time seemed to have the idea
that he was tank and what he put in
it had disastrous effect. His speech,
according to the accounts which have
reached here, was rambling and dis
connected, and it disgusted even his
staunchest friends.
"I'll have to drop Davis" one of
the Oldest Van Buren, supporters is
quoted as saying this morning 1--WE
stuck to him in every race, but last
nights performance was too much for
me-"
"The Van Buren people don't OBJ
ject to Davis getting drunk if he
wants to, but when he gets drunk and
attempts to make speech before a
representative audience of our people.
we feel that he has insuted US" SAID
one of the best known business men of
that city who was in this city this af-
ternoon. ''I've heard scores of Davis
stalwart friends say this moaning
that they were through with him."
ivan Buren is sore at Fort Smith

dumping him off on u.s." was the re-
port of the affair given by Van Bu-
rem young man this morning. Il
thought that you were going to treat
us kindly, now that we are united by

AUSTR04TAUAN NAVAL
PROGRAMS Harmonic
Both Nations Recognize Medi-
terranean Strength Must
Be Maintained.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star


VIENNA, March IL.
The Neues Wiener Tagblatt publishes
an article, evidently from an official
source, which is of special interest for
estimating the international situation. and
also may be regarded as an intimation
that the building of the new Austrian
dreadnoughts is in contemplation.
The article states that the considerable
increase in the French ships, as well as
the French naval program up to 1919, at
tracts extreme interest in Italy, as
France, which. in case of war, can
count upon the British Mediterranean
squadron, and, possibly, also upon the
Black sea fleet, attains an incontroverti-
BILE predominance in the Mediterranean.
Should a naval conflict occur. the article
continues. the shipping trade both OF
Italy and Austria would be paraiyzed for
a long time. Italian public opinion calls,
therefore, for d rapid strengthening Of
the Italian and Austrian navies. which,
according to the writer, must be strong
enough VIGOROUSLY to oppose the united
Mediterranean fleets of England and
France. They would at the same time
be guarantee for the maintenance of
peace. This noteworthy article proceeds:
In this view taken by Italy we en-
tireiy acquiesce Austria-Hungary also
desires peace, to retain which We must
treat with justice the desire of our ally
and also develop our naval strength In
good time We sympathetically greet
the fact that at length it dawns upon
the public mind that it is not from AUS
tria that danger is impending for Italy,
but rather that support is to be expected
from this quarter, and this growing feel
ing we joyfully welcome"
