Meeting of Officers of Farm
Bureau.

On last Monday evening the officers
and directors of the Stevens County
Farm Bureau held their first meeting
since the adjournment last June.
The attendance was good, practically
every member being present.
Because of the increased interest in
live stock in the county the need was
apparent for some men to work with
Mr.. Hawk in handling the cattle sales
and after careful consideration the
fc flowing committee was appointed,

way to increase the interest in dairy
cattle: Mr.. E. j. Jones, Mr.. VIM.
Gausman. Mr.. F. L. Spaulding, Mr..
Will Meyers and Mr.. F. L. Beister-
field.
The large number of beef cattle in
the county and bright prospects for
this branch of the live stock industry
are such that it was considered neces-
sary to make one department of the
work pertain to beef cattle and the
following, committee was appointed
C. F. Kirk, chairman, A. L. Over
stad. John Willie, Robert Keeler, J.
L. Brown, v. G. Huntly. Fred Andert,
Bud Buckston, and Tom McKenny.
The following seed committee was
also appointed: P. E. Miller, chair
man. j. L. Morton. L. c. Dorweilel

MODEL FARM HOUSE.
State Art Society Furnishes Plans
at Small Cost.

Probably one of the most impor-
tant actions taken for the direct ben
eft of the farmer in Minnesota, as
we'll as other states, was that of the
Minnesota State Art Commission Ga
departm ent of the State Government
at a recent meeting held in the Old
Capital, st. Paul
Minnesota farmers, as we'll as
people living outside of the state. may
have the advantage of vast amount
of new information about farm house
building" which his been gathered by
the State Art Commission, at a fee
almost unheard of before.
The "Model Farm House" COM
petition by architects and designers
in Minnesota, instituted last Spring
by the State Art Society, the first
of its kind to have been carried on by
any state in the Union, resulted in
twenty-seven (20 excellent plans.
all pertaining to the immediate needs
of farm conditions. Farmers were
called into consultation and served up
on a jury which made the awards.
All the architects, including the prize
winners, turred their drawings over
to the State of Minnesota for it's i'm
mediate use in meeting farm home
conditions.
1t was voted by the Governing
oG hn 80
that the winning plans and specifca-
tinns of the first prize house should
be placed in the hands of anyone who
wished them, and in order to make
this information available at the least
possible fee, the Governing Board
voted to dispose of this information
as follows:
A replica of the first drawing,
which measures some 20x2S inches,
including perspective sketch of the
house, floor plans, block plan, side
and rear elevation, will be sold FOR
SO cents to anyone who wishes it.
The full size working drawings and
specifications, including the details
for construction, etc., will be issued
to anyone (residing within the State
of Minnesota) for the sum of So. so !;
this same information to be issued TO
anyone living without the State of
Minnesota for the sum of S. 90.
1t will be readily seen that these
fees are unusually low. III fact, the
information is almost free. and the
only purpose of charging fee is to
cover the costs of blue printing and
compiling this information for release.
One of the activities of the State
Art Commission is to promote and
conserve farm life as an economic re-
source in the state. Farm houses are
notably lacking in many respects and
it is believed that this "Model Farm
House" information, which is now
ready for use by anyone who wishes
it, is step toward bettering. not on.
Iy farm life as it exists in Minnesota,
but throughout the country at large.
The Director of the State Art Com
mission, Mr.. Maurice /. Flagg, whose
sffice is in the Old Capital, st. Paul,
Minn., will send information to any
one who make applications concerning
these plans and specifications. No
one will personally profit from the
sale of these plans other than the
person who purchases them. Toe
problem is a state wide campaign of
an educational nature for the better
ment of home conditions upon the
farm.

THAT C. N. LEASE.
No Chance the N. P. VIII Oper.
ate B. v. Line.

For many years the story has been
sprung periodically that the Northern
Pacific owned the Browns Valley line
and was going to take over its opera
tion. On this subject the Starbuck
Times recently said: -
''The Northern Pacific owns the
Morris Browns Valley branch, but
this has been leased to the Great
Northern. This lease, we are told,
is about to expire. The officials of
the Northern Pacific are planning on
operating this branch themselves in
the future. This would then be done
in connection with the Little Falls
Morris branch. That would mean
through trains between Little Falls
and Browns Valley. There has also
been some talk of extending the line
west from Browns Valley to connect
with the main line of the N. p. to
the coast. That would really make
the line through Starbuck a main line
from Duluth to the west coast. This
is as yet mainly rumor, but a spe-
cial went through Starbuck short
time ago with number of N. P. Off
cials aboard, and it was said that
they went out to Morris to inspect
the Morris-Browns Valley branch,
and to investigate the advisability of
putting in service something like
mentioned above"
In commenting on this the Browns
Valley Tribune says
"The above is given as a matter of
news, but there are parts of it that
we doubt very much as being correct.
The Browns Valley branch of railway
from Morris to Browns Valley. was at
une time supposed to be a part of
the Little Falls & Dakota railway, a
line built from Little Falls to Morris.
This road was chartered with the
understanding that it would build the
line from Little Falls to the Dakota
line, and was given land grant
The Great Northern built the B. v.
branch, and the Little Falls & Dakota
did not care to parallel the line, but
in. order to insure its land grant. some
kind of a. deal was made between the
two roads whereby it appeared that
the Little Falls & Dakota, afterwards
a branch of the N. P. had become
the owner of the B. V. branch, ard
afterwa. DIS leased it to the Great
Northern. 1t may be that the terms
of this lease, which was believed to
have been merely trumped-up lease.
have now expired. but if so, the next
move will be the pretended purchase
of the branch by the Great Northern. -
While on the subject of railroad
service, the Browns Valley Tribune
also makes this valuable suggestion,
and it is to be hoped that something
cores Of its

Paint Saves Money.

Why not use little paint OCCASION
ally? It prolongs the life Of the build
ings, adds value to the price Of the
farm and helps to make ''home beau
tiful." Buildings last % to 80 per cent
longer if painted That means that
building which would last fifty to sew
enty-f1ve years unpainted would last
75 to 125 years if painted, It is the
same with fences and farm imple-
ments. It is easy to see that paint
saves money.-Kansas Farmer.
