before her eyes came the delicate

The Press: seven il Mr.. RoOse-

THE POEM
BY Hyacinth de We're.

Dy ny tbSiuth uO tCHCs
ALI down the cleaning aches of
the years
Hank! How their glory glads
the eye,
And how the glad glissandos
gliding by,
How they, too, sing of hopes and
fears
And summer days, and how a
schooner clears
The long, long finger of the
subtle sand
Where sirens sing, and sea-
news dip to land,
And mermaids lave their locks In
shallow mere.
1t moves me not. In soOth, I'd
rather be
Far fetched and few between,
an might l know
How swift the avalanche comes
up the lea,
How soft and soothe the Off
shore breezes blow,
How passing strange these sched-
ules are-and then
How sweet and simple all these
things have been!

MINNESOTA TO
LEAD THE WORLD
AS DAIRY CENTER

Minnesota is destined to become
thegreatest dairy center Of the world,
according to State Immigration agent
Maxfeld. The winning of the first
prize for quality of butter at the In
ternational Dairy show in Milwaukee
indicates the value. of Minnesota
grasses and grains, he says, as the
proper butter producing material,
and the state has but fairly started
in the industry.
There is no better land for the
raising Of grasses of all kinds than
the soil of Northern Minnesota, cut
over land" said Mr.. Maxfeld.
THAT territory will naturally dew
elop into great stock region and
there the dairy interests will thrive.
When Northern Minnesota is settled
and farmers begin to realize the
value of that land, for producing
grasses. and the great advantage of
feeding farm products to stock and
selling the stock and its produce,
the dairy interests of the state will
become enormous.
