Those who started to clip certificates
from The Forum a week ago can now
testify to, the true merits OF the great
offer. for the Bible distribution start
ed off with immense satisfaction to all
concerned. All who got their Bibles
are proudly showing them to their
friends, and commendations and con-
gratulations are already pouring into
this office.
The limp leather volume with over
tapping overs is the most popular al
though the one bound in silk cloth is
just as serviceable and contains all
the beautiful illustrations printed in
with the type as well as the colored
plates. There is also a Catholic edi-
ton which contains the fulI-page col

Bibles you may have, you will want
this one anyway, for it is illustrated
as no other Bible in the world is illus
trated. The picture for each particular
verse or subject taken up is inserted
with the type, so that it corresponds
with the accompanying text-matter.
The publishers expended $4,000 for
this work alone, and besides they Sc
lected the most appropriate of the
famous Tissot collection and these are
reproduced in colors and inserted in
their proper places throughout the
volume. The result is a grand work
of art which cannot be surpassed.
If you have not yet started to save
certificates, begin today and lose no
further time, for you will never have
another opportunity like this and at
the rate they r now going the supply
will soo be exhausted.
Today's certificate is printed on an
other page. Clip it at once or some
body else will get ahead of you.

ers in the Bible ad.

MEDICS LISTENED
TO FINE PAPERS
MEDICAL SOCIETIES OF BOTH
SIDES OF RIVER ENJOYED
SPLENDID MEETING LAST
NIGHT AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
LUNCH WAS SERVED.

The medical societies of both sides
Of the river enjoyed a most profitable
and enjoyable meeting last night at
the Fargo Commercial club. 1t was
a joint session Of the Cass County
Medical association and the Clay
Becker Medical society, With DR.. Mar
tin A. Rindlaub, president of the Cass
county association, in the chair.
The twenty physicians present
listened to two fine papers. One was
by DR.. A. j.. Hagen of Moorhead and
the other by DR.. A. w. SkeIsey of
Fargo on the subject of Puerperal
Commissions. DR.. c. /. Estrem Of De-
troit, Mimi, led the discussion Of DR..
Hagen's excellent paper and DR.. G. A.
Carpenter of Fargo led the discussion
of DR.. Skelsey's paper.
Following the meeti q light lunch
was served which was followed by a
social hour which proved one Of the
most enjoyable events the doctors
have held in some time.

Ing. a planting Of 80, 900 trees has Just
been made in Florida and the COM
bined crop OF the south this year will
be considerable.
What perplexing problems these
plant immigrants may present before
they become useful citizens is strik-
ingly illustrated by the introduction
OF Smyrna figs. Cuttings Of Smyrna
figs were brought to California in 1880
but though the trees thrived no COM
mercial figs could be produced. In
vestigation revealed the fact that the
female tree alone bears fruit, while
the male, or carpi fig, supplies pollen.
Moreover it was discovered that a sin
Gle insect, Blastophagas, brought
about the pollination necessary for
fruit production n that there were
none of these insects in this
They bred in the capri fig and were
short-liyed. With the utmost care and
repeated efforts IL required nine years
to establish the -Blastophaga in Cali
fornia, and to produce Smyrna figs.
The date palm which 1000 years ago
grew on the banks of the Euphrates
and Tigris rivers and made habitable
many otherwise useless regious of the
Sahara and Arabia is another immi-
grant now we'll established in this
country. 1t bids fair to be one OF the
most important introductions ever
made. It is particularly well adapted
for growing on. the American desert
in the hottest and most arid regions of
the southwestern states wherever irri-
cation is established Like the fig the
palm has male n female trees and
male trees must be planted in every
grove of one hundred female trees. The
fruit bearing females are pollenated
artilcially. 1t is predicted by experts
that date growing will become a most
important fruit industry in the vast
alkali country of the west OF which
the Salton basin and parts of Arizona
are representative.
There is a potent reason for grow
ing camphor in addition to its pro-
duction as a source of wealth in the
fact that practically all camphor
comes from the island of Formosa be-
longing to Japan and that camphor is
a necessary ingredient in making
smokeless powder. Should the yellow |
peril ever become real through a war,
however, we would be able to supply
our powder factories with camphor
grown in Florida where it is on a sue
cessful basis.
Altogether our deaf, dumb and blind
plant immigrants while little known
are a Woodworking money making
class, and the manner of their coming !
to this country, the working of the
plant immigration bureau, and the rate |
at which they are earning money for
American citizens furnishes a ready
explanation Of the activities of
the government in bringing to this
country aliens which at first descrip-
ton might seem to be lacking in all
essentials of good citizenship.

WHERE ALL ARE ONE
French Town Deserted by Men
Situated Near Paris.

French Town Deserted by Men
Situated Near Paris.
Not fifty miles from Paris is a.
small town called Froissy, which is
literally run by women This is not
because the women are women with
views, but simply because the town
is a town with needs, and there are
no men there to fill the needs. Froissy
is in the heart of an agricultural
province. and all the on-coming young
farmers have been piped away to
Canada and the states, where, if the
language of the emigration agents and
the development companies books is
to be believed, it is possible to make
a great deal more hay while the sun
shines.
Only the old men remain, and what
with the pillow and the reaper, they
are kept too busy to give any atten-
ton to municipal affairs, much less
hold office. So they have turned over
the reins of village government,
chariot, steeds, and all, to the women
The mayo is a woman, and the super
intendent of the railway station is a
woman; the m~ail-carrier is a m
and so is the village barber. The
switchman is a switchwoman, and the
postmaster is a postmistress. The
telegraph messenger boy is named
Mademoiselle Leseboro.
When a proclamation from the
mayor is to be heralded abroad the
drummer boy of Froissy. who is a
drummer girl, sallies forth and sounds
a ~rat-tat-tat on her kettle drum.
This city official is a sturdy octo-
genarian, Madame Druhou- Machardin.
who has held her post through wind
and rain for years. The official letter
carrier, too. has been in office for ten
years. Her name is Madame Doubour.
Froissy is only five miles from Mon
treuil, in the department of the
Somme, and almost half way between
Amiens to the north and Paris to the
south. It is said to the one civilized
community in which municipal affairs
have been delegated entirely to wo-
men.

the students as an expression of the
sentiment of the entire college.
The resolutions were as follows:
Be 1t Resolved: That the death of
DR.. d. r. Pearsons removes from the
activities of earth one raised up by
God to do a grand and unique work
for christian education and philan-
thropy-a work in which he was easily
pioneer and leader.
That, in the midst Of our sorrow at
the loss Of n who was so great a
~benefactor to Fargo college and many
other colleges, and who was so dear
a friend to those of our number privi-
legged to know him personally, we re-
joice in the thought that his was a
life lived to its full fruition, that his
activities have brought, are bringing
and will bring, to thousands of young
men and women, increased mental and
moral power, high christian ideals,
broadened usefulness in life, and that,
while he now rests from his labors,
his works do follow him.
We rejoice that to him, possessing
a princely fortune, came the grand Wis
ion that dominated his manhood, viz.
the power of the small christian coli
lege as an agency for good, and a
moulder Of human character and des-
tiny, and that he twas not disobedient
to the heavenly vision" but gave freely
of his money and himself to its real
i~zation.
Fargo college remembers today with
deep gratitude his kindly cheer, stimu-
lating counsel and generous benefac-
tons in her behalf.
Those of us who were privileged to
know him can never forget, or recall
without a glow of admiration and love,
his genial smile and flashing eye, his
hearty h~and-grasp, his sturdy, alert
manhood, and his true-heartedness,
which made his friendship a rare pos
| session.
Resolved that copies of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the college ec-
ords, published in the city press, and
delivered to Rev. Il. f. Williams. DID,,
Of Chicago. his intimate friend and
counselor, and that the president of
this college be and he hereby is ap-
pointed to represent this college at
the funeral Of DR.. Pearson, to be held
at Hinsdale, ILL.,, on Tuesday, April 80,
1912,
His Beautiful Life.
Rev. Or. Beard told the students OF
the beautiful life Of the aged man OF
his education, school teaching. medical
practice and successful career as q
man of business.
Having been at one time president
Of Fargo college and a personal friend
of DR.. Pearsons, Rev. Or. Beard was
familiar with the beautiful character
of the man He told how DR.. Pearsons
purposed from the beginning helping
the small christian colleges OF the
land.
Rev. Or. Beard quoted the philan-
thropist as saying, II enjoyed making
money m my life, but was so much
happier in giving IL away
