WHAT H GREAT RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT MEANS AND IS

This is u time Of conventions and
North Dakota is no whit behind her
neighbors. And now. March HE,
comes the long looked for and much
talked of Men and Religion Forward
Movement. We have read much, but
what Is it? From city to city men
have gone proclaiming a message.
Crowds have gathered, committees
have met and meetings have passed.
These men are men trained to re-
ligious work. to study the methods Of
success. Of presentation to men Of the
world today. They are men who have
succeeded and who now after formu-
lating tho principles that undcrlie
their success, so about to tell others
Of their plans and works. Even re-
ligious work proceeds along common
lines. The apostle did not SIM
ply follow his nose! He chose the
great Roman highways. he selected
the great centres Of life. government,
education. trade and travel. He chose
the synagogues ahead he as a son Of
Abraham had a right to appear and
speak to his fellows. So the preacher
OF today weighs. counssls and pro.
ceeds In tactful manner on his great
mission. Here are men who have
worked In ways that have succeeded
and they are abroad to counsel and to
help others. and, II need be, to be
helped.

They art not sentimentalists. They
have the enthusiasm of success and
they go with confidence. If they did
not. they would better stay at home.
But they are not neurotics. MOI men
without virility. 1t is a mans Job, and
every effort has been made to choose
the best men
The movement is not, as some think,
a !. NJ. G. A. movement. Many as
ISOLATION men arc promoting it, but
besides this the large brotherhoods
of several denominations are equally
behind the movement. Indeed the
movement did not originate in the. as
ISOLATION. In a conversation between
leaders Of several such organizations.
a common conviction led to a COM
mon resolution and ultimately to or
ganization and to action.
The movement Is not q net scheme
of any multi millionaire nor a Job nut
up by the trusts to soothe the nubljc
feelings and thereby allay agitation.
Rich and poor alike support and
equally are invited to do SO.
Finally. 1t Is not the song of a dy-
ing cause. Liberal and conservative
are in 1t. The purpose sought is a re.
newtng OF interest in religion-not
theology. 1t IL a probing into the
working efficiency of the church and
an attempt to discriminate and select
out and build up effective units into
a larger and better force.

BOARD IN SPECIAL meeting
Agricultural Department Up for Dis
cussiOn When School Directors
Gather Tonight.

The establishment of an agriculture
al department in the Grand Forks
public schools will be the principal
topic for discussion at a special meet
ing the board of education at the city
hall at 1880 o'clock tonight.
The board of education on Satur.

twenty acres of land just east of the
fair grounds for use in agricultural
work in the schools and the purchase
made by the special committee will be
confirmed tonight, it is expected.
The matter of securing state aid for
this work In the Grand Forks schools
will come up before the state high
school board in session in Fargo.
March 5. Five appropriations of
$500 each will be made by the state
in this work and about thirty cities in
the state arc now making an effort to
be designated as one of the five places
where the agricultural department
will be introduced in the schools.
(iOphcrs Take to the Work.
I'm speaking of the proposed new de-
partmcnt for the Grand Forks schools
this morning, Superintendent J. Nell
o Kelly said hat he thought agri-
cultural work in the schools would be
a splendid thing.
When he visited tho Minnesota state
fair last fall he said that he was
particularly interested in the work of
the Minnesota schools and spent much
time in the educational department of
the big annual show.
Superintendent Kelly was surprised,
he says. at the marked advancement
shown in the agricultural work in the
educational department, where the
work of the boys and girls Of the state
along agricultural lines ove%rshadowed
the work of all other departments in
the public school system of that state.

numbers. The female cicadas cause in
jury to young trees by depositing their
eggs on twigs and small branches
This stunts the growth Of the affected
branches.
Farmers, fruit-growers and nursery
men who expect to plant trees this
spring are warned to the danger which
may be caused by the cicada. Trees
are especially liable to injury when set
near timber or on recently. cleared
ground. Trees set in such places
should either be cut severely back at
the start, so as to leave no tempting
twigs for the cicadas to oviposit In, or
cut back little or not at all until after
the first of July, when the locusts have
disappeared. With the latter treat
ment the cicadas may deposit their
eggs in the twigs which can be cut
off and burned.
The eggs in the twigs and branches
hatch and the young nymphs drop to
the ground and enter it for long stay
of anotoher period of seventeen years.
