The courtroom at the Clay county
courthouse this afternoon was packed
with school folks in attendance at the
opening meeting Of the Northwest
Central Minnesota Educational associa-
ton which Is holding its fifth annual
meeting in Moorhead today, tomorrow
and Saturday. Late this afternoon
Professor Martin Of the normal, the
association secretary, said the at
tendance was far beyond the antieipa-
lions of the committee in charge of the
arrangements for the convention and
it was going to beat its own record.
Mr.. Martin said the registrations now
were far beyond the 200 mark and he
knew that there would be many more
arrivals on the late afternoon and
evening trains, only by which some of
the teachers could arrive.
The session this afternoon was de-
signed as a meeting for school officers
of the several counties within the area
Of the association and to join in the
conference, Miss Rushfeldt, superin-
tendent Of schools for Clay county i'm
vited the teachers Of the county. The
meeting was under the direction OF
Miss Rushfeldt and accompanying her
were a number Of superintendent from
other counties.
Addresses were made by Or. r. u.
Hill, a member of the state board of
health. and a discussion of his paper
was given BY DR.. G. J Hagen of
Moorhead, a former superintendent of
public schools, and he has lost none
Of his cunning in the matter OF school
wants and affairs. Al stirring talk
pointed to school management from the

that those present had left the best
half of the farm home behind them
the wives and mothers. The second
best best half on the farm were the
children n young people and they
We're not present, SO who am / talk
ing to-"
He desired to tell his hearers that
he could talk as a practical farmer as
we'll as n who had made a deep study
of agriculture. For several a he
had been manager Of a 5000 acre farm
in Iowa and part of his income was as
a share in the profits and that meant
making good and obtaining he best
results out of every department on
the farm. AS farmers, much has been
given You Inc much is demanded OF
you.' Let your motto from now on be,
II will beat my own record"
DR.. Holden told how as general
farmer he became inspired to study
potatoes and their production in large
quantity for seed and eating stock,
BY the means of plainly printed charts
the speaker demonstrated the relative
value the potato crop has with other
crops, covering a period of three years
and more. He cited instances Of the
value of rotation of crops and the inn
p~ortant parts played in that by corn
and potatoes in the resultant Increase
of yields. He had the goods with him
to demonstrate to points which he
wished to bring home to those whom
he was addressing. The small increase
of yields was too often lightly thought
Of and not given its full value-results
have o hat the addition of two
fair sized ears of corr on a stalk
means seventy-six bushels to the acre.
With marked emphasis the speaker
urged greater care In the testing and
selection of seeds, especially corn and
potatoes and by chart and actual sam
pies he illustrated the points to be
absorbed. Reverting to the subject of
potatoes DIR, Holden displayed many
practical ideas which brought forth
enthusiastic applause.
At the close of the address the men,
bers of the association, officers and
visitors were entertained at a buffet
luncheon provided by the commercial
club of Moorhead, Young & Young of
this city being the caterers. Following
the disposal Of regular business which
was the first order caller this after
noon there vas an address by A. r.
Koehler of the state agricultural coll
lege and that was followed by a gen.
eral discussion of matters pertaining
to the potato enterprise from various
viewpoints.

IS HEIRESS TO
" FIFTY THOUSAND

Grand Forks, Feb. 1.-Heiress to
$4,000 is Miss Edna Brown, aged 10,
who has made her home in Grand
Forks with friends since last spring.
Miss Brown will come into posses
sion Of this amount of the worlds
wealth when she reaches her 21st
birthday in accordance with the will
of the late John Laisure of Buffalo,
n. Y, an uncle of Miss Browns father.
Back Of the action of the Buffalo man
is a story that raeds like
Miss Browns real name is Edna Lai-
sure, the name Brown" being that of
her step-father. Her father Chas.
Laisure was an engineer on the Great
Northern and before coming to Grand
Forks Miss Brown lived at Larimore.
Her parents were divorced many years
ago when she was but a little tot and
her mother afterwards married again
and is o living in Winnipeg where
Miss Browns step-father is employed.
During her childhood days the lit
tie girl was sent to live with John
LaisuTe Of Buffalo, an uncle of her
fathers and at once an affection
sprung up between the two which has
shown substantial results in the be-
quest of a neat fortune to the young
girl. She spent many years with the
aged man who, without any near rela-
tives, acted as a grandfather. When
death came a few days ago, there were
no other relatives and the entire prop
erty outside of a few minor requests
were left to the little friend of his ola
age. OF late years the intimacy be-
tween the two vas not so pronounced
by the friendship and love developed
in the years G was such that a will
making her sole heir was drawn up a
comparatively short time before his
death. Miss, Brown is naturally re-
ceiving the congratulations of her
friends in the city.

INTEREST SHOWN
AT POTATO GROWERS NEE
Big Attendance and Keen Enthusiasm PreyaIed--Dr. r. H
Holden Made a Big Hit With the Crowd--Farmers
Motto Should Be Il VIII Beat My Own Record

That the potato growers of Clay
county are alive to their interests was
fully demonstrated this morning by
the large crowd in attendance at the
opening session of the third annual
meeting of the Clay County Potato
Growers association. A room twisAs
the size Of the n provided would
moi have been too large for in addition
to the growers Of Clay county there
was a liberal sprinkling of "
n buyers from other parts of the
Red river valley who were interested
to see how things were done.
The meeting which was opened this
morning, shortly after IL o'clock oy
President Huntoon win prove Of more
importance to the potato growing in
dustry of Clay county than the two
previous meetings. One prominent
visitor from another part of the Red
river valley was heard to remark
you Clay county boys have made an
important and distinctive move in the
fu~rtherance of the business Of grow
ing potatoes and 1t means much to the
valley at large"
An hour before the opening OF the
meeting Secretary Grant of the assoc
citation, assisted by H. e. Roberts Of
the Moorhead National bank and A..
j. Wright OF the commercial club were
kept busy registering renewal member
ships and new members as there was
plainly demonstrated among the many
in attendance a desire to be able to
fully participate in the general bust
ness of the association, the conten-
ton was that voice and vote meant
business and a fully paid up member
ship was the warranty of practical
interest in what the potato growers
association stands for.
Holden Captured Crowd.
DR.. p. G.. Holden Of the agricultural
college, Ames, Ia. Immediately had
absolute command of the attention of
the assembled potato growers in the
Masonic hall this morning. A winning
smile coupled with the quality of per-
s~onality which win audiences soon
made the genial doctor and his hearers
the fastest Of friends. The stories
which he told as a preface to his re-
marks were practical and perfectly
apropos to the occasion they had to do
with the every day life of the average
farmer. He abhored the term, raised
on a farm To say brought up on a
farm sounded a great deal better and
put the children and folks a little
higher than the pigs and cattle. He
wished he could have said in opening,
ladies and gentlemen" but he saw

By Frances L. Garytde

dress the three children for school, do
the cleaning, and get to my office at
nine.
Il work there till five, and after
get home at night | find time to get
dinner, take care of my home. wait on
my husband and children. and some
time. somewhere, during the weeks
routine | find time to wash, iron. bake,
sew and mend
Il earn more than my husband. and
have done more than he toward our
support since the day l married him.
But have never complained.
THE other evening" her voice so
quivered with indignation she had to
pause. sympathetic woman handed
her drink, and, controlling her emo
ton. she resumed.
The other evening we had the
preacher for supper and my husband
told him that his ideal woman was the
Clinging Vine!"
Here she snorted so violently that
the laces OF her straight-fron corset
began to pop like popcorn over a hot
blaze
wv nat / want to know is TINS. Can
woman support her family and wash
and scrub and bake and be Clinging
Vine at the same time?"
murmur OF protest and sympathy
arose all over the hall. Seventeen worn-
en- stood at once, and all began talking
at once Daysey Mayme raped for or
der in vain, and the meeting disbanded
in confusion
However. It seemed to be the gen
eral verdict that. a woman to be a
C1inging Vine must have a husband
who supports her. She must also board.
and have no household cares OF any
kind
Women can't be Clinging Vine"
was the consensus Of opinion. "if the
man she marries isn't strong enough to
cling to-"
So much interest was aroused it was
decided to ask The Hague to investi-
gate the wage earning ability of any
man who says his ideal woman Is a
Clinging Vine. Either he must be ca
pable of earning a good salary, or be
compelled to change his ideal.
