All the world over Easter Is a sea
son OF great rejoicing as everything
begins TO cast off the dinginess OF
winter and nature herself exhibits
the spirit Of resurrection.
The Easter festival OF our fore
fathers covers a period OF fifteen days.
The week beginning with Easter sun
day was almost entirely given over
10 sport and games and general merry
making.
Easter is a movable festival. II
Is always the first Sunday after the
full moon which happens upon or
next after the twenty day OF
March; and Il the full moon happens
upon a Sunday. Easter day Is the
Sunday following.
The sacred festival OF Easter has
been appropriately termed ''the queen
of festivals" Il has been observed
from the foundation OF the Christian
religion. and Is celebrated In every
part OF the Christian world with great
solemnity and devotion.

Can Do Some Irrigating

Pierre: S. Rex Green, assist
ant state engineer, has returned
from Scenic, where he went to look
into the possibilities of irrigation
of the table lands through storage
of water. He found the valleys
in which it was proposed to store
the water, we're of such depth that
the water could not be profitably
pumped to the locations where it
would be desired, but says that
there is opportunity to secure
storage in the ravines on the high
er levels, by systems of dams. OF
course these dams would not hold
the amount of water which could
be secured in the deeper ravines,
but It would be where it could be
practically used.

Save Your Hides

Cattle and horses now contribute
to the farmers comfort in new
way. The hides, instead of being
buried with the carcass or sold for
a pittance, are turned into soft
warm robes, all at cost that sinks
into insignifcance when compared
to the future service to be rem
dered.
This is an economy coming into
a wide practice among the more
thrifty class of farmers. 1t will
result in the saving of good
many thousands of dollars hereto
fore spent for new robes.
Big encouragement has been
lent to the idea by Andersen Bros.
a we'll known concern in Mime
apolis, Mimi. This firm of tar
ners is said to render quick salts
factory service not only paying
better prices for all kinds of hides
but doing efficient robe work at
most reasonable prices.

A New Departure

Wool growers of the nation are
in convention at Omaha and they
are discussing a proposition that
looks to the establishment of fac
tory for the manufacture of WOOL
en- goods under the auspices of the
National Wool Growers associa-
ton. The association says it can
prove that the duty on raw wool is
not the cause of the high price of
woolen cloth. At the previous
meetings of this association it has
been declared in reports that the
duty on wool did not augment
the price of wool on the
American market, where it is con-
trolled by a combination that acts
very much like a trust.

Americans Not Wanted In
Canada

1t appears that the fears of
America expressed by Mr.. Borden,
the leader of Canadian conserva-
tives, during the recent campaign
in tina: country were not merely for
political effect, after all. Mr..
Borden seems to have real dread
of the Americanizing of Canada,
and his government is taking
early steps to discourage immi-
grafton from this side of the bor-
der. immigration agencies which
have been maintained in Boston
and Syracuse are to be closed at
once, and other agencies will be
discontinued later. Instead of en-
deavoring to induce farmers to
leave the United States and assist
in the development of Sa>katche-
wan, Alberta and the other sparse
ly settled provinces, the conserva-
tive government will make an
effort to stimulate immigration
from England and Scotland, the
theory being that an influx of
more than 100000 Americans a
year, if permitted to continue,
would soon constitute danger to
the stability of the Dominion.
There is to be no more advertising
in American papers and magazines
of Canada's resources and attrac-
tions, and in every way the new
government established by Mr..
Borden will endeavor to give
Americans to understand that they
are not wanted north of the inter
national boundary.
How the Canadian railway COM
panies, which have been active in
inducing Americans to settle in
Canada and which have hitherto
been potent in governmental
affairs, will veiw the new policy
remains to be seen.
Of course Mr.. Borden's idea
that the people of the United
States are endeavoring to take
Canada by means of a wooden
horse device is absurd; but there is
no reason why we should be alarm,
ed at his policy. There will long
continue to be plenty of room for
development on this side. The
Canadians have the right to work
lout their own destiny in their own

In reviewing the past year of
the Philip Fire Department, we
are pleased to chronicle the many
improvements which have been
made in the way of more and bet
ter equipped fire fighting appar-

meetings and interest shown by
the members and the progressive
spirit manifested in the organiza-
tion to make it as good, if not
better than any other in the state
of towns equal in size to Philip.

DR.. L. C. Herbert Lecture

About the usual size crowd turn.
ed out last Thursday evening to
hear DR.. l.. 6. Herbert, the third
number of the lecture course, and
while his discourse was both in
structive and interesting, the man.
ner of his delivery was criticized
by some who we're present. Com
ing to us with numerous :estimon-
ials putting him up as a great
speaker and preparing US to ex-
pect something exceptional good,
it is no wonder that some were
disappointed and felt that the
number did not come up to their
expectations. One thing which
Mr.. Herbert said should sink deep
into reminds of all the people
of the rural districts, and that was
the trend of the mail order busi-
ness and the ultimate aim of the
big concerns who are working to
drive out their thousands of small
competitors and compel the con-
sumer to purchase of them, either
directly or indirectly, the things
which they must have to exist. 1t
makes no difference who you pur-
chase OF, you pay tribute to the
coffee trust, the sugar trust, the
-four trust, the leather trust, the
coal trust, the oil trust and good
many other trusts, and as We
mark the rapid strides which the
mail order business has made in
the past few years, it's extension
into almost every field of the mer-
camille business, it's untiring and
ceaseless efforts to get the people
into the habit of buying from
them, and the millions of dollars
spent every year to bring their
wares before the buyers in the
form of all kinds of advertising,
catalogs, circulars and phenom-
email bargains, it is not visionary
or over-drawn to say that their
ultimate end is the extinction of
the small dealer and a complete
monopoly on all of the necessary
commodities of life, both in whole
sale and retail commerce.
