all phases of road building and the
maintenance of them after they are
built, and his remarks this morning

proper care of roads after they have
been built and in this particular his
remarks were very instructive and
valuable to all who have to do with

Chicauo Gossip.

Chicago, March cit was the gos-
sip OF the wheat trade last night. that
few Of the local professionals had
any long wheat and that a number
were short. Traders are not disposed
to do much until the government re-
port on farm reserves is given out
late Friday. They think that 10000
600 bushels will be bearish, although
it will show 2 $4,000, 900 bushels under
last years revived figures. The local
short interest is larger that it has
been for several days. Notwithstanding
falling off in the receipts to below
last years. Outside buyers are watt
ing for more bull news. Corn trad
ers were mixed last night. Those who
sold out on the bulge say they eX-
pect to get their lines back at lower
prices. 1t was noticeable that few of
of them who sold short will stand pun
ishment and were satisfied with small
profits. The staunchest of the bulls
who have corn bought at much lower
prices are sitting still.

WHY He FARMS IN
RED RIVER VALLEY
NEW SETTLER NEAR eLYNpoN
GIVES POTENT REASONS why.
HE PREFERS TO FARM HERE
RATHER THAN PAY ExoRRl-
TANT RATE IN ILLINOIS.

John F. Beauchamp came from CEN
trail Illinois, a year or two ago, and
settled near Glyndon in this ounty
He has been many times asked why
ne decided to change from such a rich
agricultural section to the northwest
and in conversation with a represen-
tative of The Forum stated that the
main reason was that he finds the land
here Just as productive as it Is in
Illinois and in some instances more
SO, and Is reasonable in price, thus en-
abling a DOR man to get a start in
life, which he cannot do while land Is
as high in price sas it is around De-
catur, Ill.
In support of this contention ne
submitted a clipping from The De-
catur Herald showing that the Rhodes
farm of seventy acres was sold at
]aution, Feb. 8, for $500 per acre and
the only improvements on this land
was an o-ld-fashioned brick house.
built over forty years ago.
Another clipping from the same pa
per showed that Louis Everhart' Iiv-
ing near Maroa, in Macon county, sold
his farm of eighty-seven acres to Mrs.
0aAAuSI Kramer at S0Uz per acre. IhtS
land is not les town and was bought
Tor farming purposes.
Another item shows that James FL
a rented the John Miller farm, three
miles northwest Of Tuscola. Ill, to
James Findley for a cash rental ,f
$11 per acre per year. The farm
Of 240 acres and does not
nave the best of improvements.
MI. Beauchamp says that here the
poor man has an opportunity to buy
a farm for only a fraction Of what the
land is selling for in Illinois, which
will produce fully as much in the way
crops and the market prices here
are fully as good as there. Then, if
the man wants to rent he has oppor-
tunities here far better than those in
the central west, where farm rents
to be SC, high in order to bring
a small per cent on the money
invested in the land. Mr.. Beauchan1p
is perfectly satisfied with conditions
as ne finds them in this section of the
Red river valley.

SCHOOLS
High School Board Finally
Made Selection

After long and careful elaboration
over the many excellent points regards
Ing each OF the cities that were cans
didates for the location of the FIVE new
state agricultural high schools. the
state high school board arrived at its
conclusion this afternoon at 1880
o'clock designating Darlington, Graf
ton, LaMoure, Velva and Beach as the
places where these institutions shall
be placed.
Time was not found for all Of the
representatives of the twenty-eight
cities after these Ave schools to APP
pea before the board at Its sessions
yesterday morning and afternoon and
a night session was held at which
everyone was given a hearing.
Early this morning the board re-
convened at the offices Of w. L. Stock
well former superintendent Of public
instruction, In the Masonic temple,
and went over the list, taking up each
city's qualifications and best adapta-
bility for the location Of such an in
stitution. The decisions were not
reached until early this afternoon
when final adjournment was taken.
Crane Made Hit.
The jamestown delegation, headed
by Mayor Blewett, is quartered at the
Gardner and includes Superintendent
Crane, Judge Ellsworth, Bankers
Graves and Hodge. Attorney Seller and
George Bouer. While last on the list,
it was generally conceded that the
arguments advanced by Professor
Crane were the most logical and by far
the best OF the entire twenty eight.
Mott Showing a Surprise.
Paul Bohn and Geo. FL. Stone from
Mott appeared before the state high
school committee which met at the
commercial club yesterday for the
Of naming the Ave state high
schools to, receive aid as agricultural
schools. It seemed to be somewhat Of
a surprise to ,the older communities
of the state to learn that Mott had n
high school building and course the
equal OF any in the state and 1t seemed
to be the general sentiment OF those
hearing Motifs claims that they were
to one Of these schools. The
town OF Mott is known as one that
never does things by halves and goes
after everything that is good.

SCOUTS STUDY
IDENTIFICATION
UNDER THE INSTRUCTION. or
SCOUT MASTERS THEY ARE
STUDYING THE BERTlLLoN
AND THE GALToN FINGER
PRINT SYSTEM.

The Boy Scouts of America are
studying to become detectives. Scout
ing applies not only to the woods, but
to the city as well, It is necessary
for a boy il he would be a good
scout to be observant not only OF the
animals and the trees in the woods,
but also of men and things in the
city. As an aid to the cultivation of
~observant powers of boy scouts, ar
rangements have been made to teach
the boys the rudimentary principles
OF both the Bertillon and the Gallon
systems of Identification. The aim,
says James e. West, chief scout ex-
ecuttve, is not to turn the boys into
a police force but to make them OBJ
servant and equipped occasionally
to do a good piece of real scouting.
The leaders of the Boy Scouts of
America have arranged to give spe-
ciaI instruction along this line to by
scouts through the scoutmaster's
manual which has just been pub
lished. Under the direction Of the
editorial board, comprising VIM. D.
Murray, Geo. ID. Pratt, and A. A.
Jameson, various programmes and
suggestions for scoutmasters have
been prepared by Prof. Irving b. Vim
ing Of Columbia university, assisted
by Geo, ii. Merritt. An entire chapter
is devoted to tracking with the aim
or showing scoutmasters how to teach
the Bertillon system of measurements
and the Cation system of finger prints
10 the boys.
The Bertillon system especially is
helpful. The Importance of the Ber-
tillon system is emphasized by Mer-
rift who says that through it crime
could thus be rooted out, elections
purified, immigration laws effectively
enforced, innumerable misunderstood
igs adjusted, and much injustice pre-
vented, and all business relations
greatly facilitated"
AS a means of training the eve of
the boy and getting him to study the
faces of men and women with a view
of understanding a character and
their chief characteristics the BertiI-
lon system is important. 1t not only
includes measurements of the body,
but also requires the boy to make
note mentally of the color of the eye,
the hair, the line of the forehead and
of the nose, the formation of the ear.
1t requires him to make an analysis
Of the profile and to study the mouth
and similar features, and the boys
also are required to be on the watch
for peculiar marks as a means of
Identification, While of course the
boys find this work difficult al first
they learn quickly, and unconsciously
become more observant.
The Gallon finger print system is
coming more and more into use.
Every boy has read about it and
naturally is eager to study finger
prints. The scoutmasters are urged
to work out various games by which
the Bertillon and finger print systems
can be used. The idea is to Of
fer prizes to the boys who show the
greatest alertness and the greatest
power Of observation.
