ADVICE TO PARENTS

President Crabtree has this adj
vice to give to parents: Boys who
have the tobacco habit invariably
weaken each year in their school
work. Very few who begin the use
of tobacco in the grades ever enter
the high school, Of those who do
enter the high school only an oc-
casional student ever completes the
high school course. Those who
quit the use of tobacco show inn
mediate improvement in their school
work. / earnestly advise parents
to take their boys out of school and
put them at work on the farm or
elsewhere, unless the boys are will
ing to abandon the use of tobacco.
Tobacco users do not get enough
value out of their school work"

What News Papers Are For

True journalism lifts common
news to uncommon value, and is
not for sensation but for service, !"
was the statement made by Richard
Lloyd Jones, formerly of Collier S
Weekly and now editor of the Wis
consin State Journal, in addressing
the first vocational. conference for
university women, called at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin last week for
the purpose of indicating to girls
in the university the many lines of
work that are open to properly
qualified college graduates.
That this country could not have
kept its unity and homogeneous
character without the aid of the
newspapers, was another significant
statement made by Mr.. Jones, who
then went on to say that a new,
happy and healthy ethical standing
is revealing itself in American news
papers.
Do not go to an editor empty
handed; bring an idea with you. If
the editor thinks you can think he
probably wants you," was the adj
vice given by Mr.. Jones to young
women contemplating journalism
as a profession.

Rev. D. B. Spencer Resigns
at Willmar

The following item is clipped
from the Willmar. MIMI, "Repub-
lican Gazette" of April IL. 1912.
The annual meeting of the Pres
byterian church was held Tuesday
evening for the election of some
officers and the transaction of other
business.
At the close of the meeting Rev.
David B Spencer rendered his resig-
nation as pastor. This came as a
hard blow to the congregation and
a committee was Immediately ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Spencer
and try to persuade him 90 recon
slider his decision, offering him a
years vacation. He said, howe yer,
that it was impossible and that his
resignation must stand. Mr.. Spenc-
er's resignation was then reluctant
ly accepted, to take effect July 1st.
Mrs. Spencer is in poor health
and they will spend the year in
travel and rest. Mr.. Spencer's loss
to the church will be a severe one
as he is man of sterling Christian
character and is universally re-
spected and admired by all. His
place will be EXTREMITY hard to fill. !"

BEWARE OF POOR SEED

Much poor seed has been sold in
Wisconsin this spring, according to
the state seed inspector, Prof. A. L.
Stone of the College OF Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin. The
state law requires that all seed for
field crops which is sold in Wiscon-
sin in packages of one pound or
more shall be labeled with the ger
mination ability and the purity test.
A sample of clover seed recently
submitted to the inspector, was
claimed by the dealer to be 80 per
cent pure and to give termination
of sc per cent. Upon examin alton
it was found that there were II
pounds of seeds other than clover
in every 100 pounds. BY actual
count there were 4O47 dodder seeds
in every pound. Not only will loss
occur from the infection of the fields
with weeds, but the farmers pay a
high price for the weed seeds they
buy in the clover.
Many Wisconsin farmers have
purchased seed oats from other
states. Wisconsin raises some of
the best seed oats in the United
States and there is no need of going
outside. Seed that is purchased
from the Dakotas is practically al
ways heavily infested with wild
mustard and because of this un-
necessary importation Wisconsin
fields are gradually becoming in
tested with this pest.
