FARM DEMONSTRATORS
PLANNING YEARS WORK
To Be 1000 Boys and Girls
in 1918 Clubs

Atlanta, April farm demonstra.
ton and corn club agents are holding
meetings here to discuss plans and sci
under way the work for 1913.
Those here meeting with j. Phil
Campbell director of the work for
this state, are Dr. William Bradford
of Atlanta; w. O. Cornelius, of Cedar
town; S. w Gown, of Union City; J.
W. Hendricks, of Savannah; G. V.
Cunningham, of Triton, and J. G.
Oliver, of Macon
Discussion yesterday was confined
to the boys corn clubs and the girls
canning clubs. This year there WI
be fully 10000 boys and girls in the
state actively at work in the two clubs,
and all of the agents agreed that the
enthusiasm was constantly on the in
crease. 1t was also determined that
the state corn show would be held in
the capitol here in the first week of
next December. The success of the
plan of holding it in the capitol was
demonstrated last year and it will be
done again, under the auspices of the
Atlanta chamber of commerce.
Today the agents discussed the
work among the adults. Stimulated
by the example and the marvellous
success of the boys, the lads are now
taking hold and trying to put two
6"shels of corn where one usei TO
grow.
What is being done is illustrated ia
just one county, Carroll. When the
farm demonstration began in Carroll
some four or five years ago, there We're
exactly 50 farmers interested enough
to try it out. Now there are some
l,5OO. Four years ago, 1000 farm
wagons carrying supplies to the farm
were counted passing one point out #
Carrollton within a period of six hours.
Four years later the number had
dwindled to four wagons.

principals. was pulled off at an auc-
ton sale in West Pike Run township
late yesterday afternoon.
The stake was saddle which the
auctioneer had knocked down to Horn,
although McGirr claimed that his bil
was the highest In the argument thai
followed, challenges flew thick ana
fast
TO settle the affair ring was pitch
ed with a rope and stakes, seconds
and a referee appointed, and the old
boys told to settle it, the winner 70
take the saddle.
At the call of time, buth the CONT
backs" waded in and gore began IL
flow before minute of the rounds was
up. The fighting was fast with born
men uppercutting and swinging as fast
as they could work their arms.
When the bell rang for the end Of
the round neither of the battlers hest
tated for second but kept smashing
end slugging one another around the
ring.
The referee and seconds tried to sep
crate the old timers" but it was sew
eral minutes before they succeeded IN
Iulling them apart. Both were COZ
cred with blood but still had plenty of
fight left in them. The saddle was
finally put up again and sold to the

Dies FROM A BROKEN NECK

Henry Pletsch, a farmer living
shout four miles south Of town,
met with an unfortunate accident
on Monday night. He had left War

fourteen miles from Foam Lake,
Sask. Mrs. Howe and her nine
months-old baby and Mrs. Lucky,
known in and about Warren as Es-
ther Ballard, (their husbands being
forty miles from home), were milk

the child and as a result her whole
side was badly bruised, but no
bones were broken. A few hours
later baby girl was born to Mrs.
Lucky weighing less than three
pounds. Any one acuainted with
Esther would not be surprised that
she risked her own life to save
that of Mrs. Howe's child. Mrs.
Howe nursed Mrs. Lucky's baby
until she was able to care for tha
little one. Both mother and child
are doing as well as could be ex..

NEW COLLEGE TEACHER

A new piano teacher has been
elected for the position left vacan.
at North Star College last spring.
Miss Lilie 2. Gibson of Red Wing
has this week accepted The call ex-
tended TO- her. She comes with .hs
highest recommendations as a ml-
sic teacher. Being a graduate o.
the Conservatory of Music at Gus
tavus Adolphus in St. Peter in the
class of 1903, she has had ten
years of experience in her work.
Miss Gibson has become recog-
nized in Red Wing as an expert ac-
companist; and she has for several
years played for the Red Wing
Choral society which annually rem
ders some great vocal composition.
Miss Gibson has also had consid :
erable experience as a singer, even
while at college. For a number OF
years she has taught piano at the
Hauge Theological Seminary in Red
Wing.
The college and the city ar
therefore most fortunate in thu.
getting such a splendid musician.
We wish to bid her welcome to
Warren.

PROF. C. E. SJOSTRAND RESIGNS

It is with many regrets that we
are forced to announce that Prof.
C. E. Sjostrand has decided to sever
his connection with North Star Co..
lege. He has been at the head f
the Commercial and Stenographi1
Departments since the school start
ed, and by his efficiency as a teach
er, sterling character and genial
manners has done much to make
these departments a success. out
side the school room also, he has
taken an active interest in every
thing that tended to build up our
city and community. His removal
therefor is loss, not only to the.
institution in which he has so sue
cessfully labored, but to- our whole
city and county. Mrs. Sjostran6
also has taken an active part in
church and social affairs and wiki
be greatly missed in these circles.
The reason why the. professor has
decided to leave Warren is the
tempting offer of st. Lukes Hospital
in Fargo, N. D., to become its man
ager at salary considerably high
er than the school can afford t3
pay. The new work will also take
him into active business and he be-
lieves it wise to try that for
while. .

Schools Introducing Scandinavian
In Minnesota, the school law

eight grades, than if all the time is
devoted to English only. Europe
and many eastern states would not
think Of adopting a one language
education in the grades. New York
and other states teach Latin and
German in the grades, why should
not the states of the Northwest
teach Scandinavian in the grades.
The study of Swedish or Norwe-

ment is growing over the whole

it is growing in North Dakota and
in all the northern states. For the

Old World should have first place

There are thousands of Scandina-

WHAT is A MAGNETIC?
Users Of Automobiles and Gas En-
gineS Hear Great Deal About
MagnetOs, Few Understand this
Little Device.

MagnetOs, Few Understand this
Little Device.
What is magnetic?
The automobile owner will ans
wer that it is the small dynamo, or
generator, which produces the ell
ectricity necessary to explode the
charge in the engine cylinders.
This is only partially correct and is
far from explaining just how this
little machine produces electricity
The magnetic is a small machine
built into the engine and furnish
ing current for igniting the charge.
It takes the place of batteries, and
eliminates ignition troubles to a
grest extent. Magnetos are uniyer-
sally used on autoHob obiles. There
IL scarcely "a half dozen makes of
cars In the, country not equipped
with them. Magnetos have no.
been used so widely on stationary
engines because they are more ex-
pensive than batteries, and have
not heretofore been designed to
meet the reuirements for station
ary work. They are now furnished
however, by all the leading engin :
makers, and make the farm engine
as reliable as the automobile. The
slow speed engine-times magnetic
lis the most successful type. This
will start and run engines of all
sizes and reuires no renewal or
attention beyond occasional oiling.
In appearance a magnetic resembles
two or. three large horseshoe mag
nets set side by side. It is in fact,
nothing more than two or three
magnets with a bundle of wire be-
tween them. This wire is wound
on little iron spool, which is re-
yoNed, and as the wire passes the
poles or ends of the magnets, a
current is produced in the wire.
This current is conducted to the
igniter or spark plug, where the
spark is produced. w..
Just how and why the revolving
of a wire between the poles of 4
magnet produces a current of cleo
.tricity is hard to explain. Faraday
discovered, years and years age,
that if a wire was forced across
the invisible Zines of force, which
exist between the poles of every
magnet, that a current of electrici-
.ty would be induced, OF generated
in the wire. The revolving part
of the magnetic, consisting of a
bundle of wires, is made to cut thu
Zine Of force between the mag
.netic. poles by betting the shaft to
the engine. As these wires. il
turn. are forced across the Lines OF
force''9a a current of electricity IS
produced. All dynamos, and gen..
orators, which produce electricity
by the application of mechanical
energy work on this same princi-.
pie. But the magnetic differs from
the dynamo, or generator, in that
permanent horseshoe magnets are
used in the field. Permanent mag
nets are too small and weak for the
more powerful generators and
electromagnetic are used instead.
The electro-magnet consists of a
soft iron core wrapped with many
turns Of insulated wire. They are
powerful magnets only 30 long as
a current Of electricity is. flowing
through the wire. When this cur
rent ceases the magnetism van
ishes.
