A LAND FRAGMENT
TEXT

THE man who rents a farm works
half his time for the benefit of an
other man" #.@.
There ars/thousands of men in
southern Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
and i1 all of the older agricultural
SECTIONS of the country that are rent
1g and paying So to $40 per acre for
land that is worth from 5000 to $500
Der acre, or are giving half the crop
for the use of the land and furnish
ing everything. These men never
stop to think that the half they give
or the rent they pay would purchase
an equally good farm in western-cen-
trail Minnesota in few years.
When a man owns his farm he is
his own master; no landlord has the
right to come around and kick because
he does not plow deep enough or too
deep to suit him, does not harrow ac-
cording to the way he thinks land ought
to be narrowed, because his corn
rows are crooked or any other farm
detail. No one has the right to "jaw"
him but his wife and she has that
right on rented farm. A rented
farm is not home but only tenn
porary stopping place and the renter
is the servant Of the rentor. >'@
The highest development in every
line of human endeavor, moral, social,
intellectual, financial and political,
has always been attained in those
lands that have four seasons, spring,
summer, autumn and winter, each
calendar year. The wise man in Sc
lecting a new location will not be
deluded by glittering fairy tales of a
life of perpetual ease in lands of eter-
nal, shimmering summer. but will To-
cate in a region where they have four
seasons each year. INSTRUMENTAL
Minnesota has four seasons, each
more glorious than the other.
Conditions essential to successful
farming are. fertile soil, abundance
of pure water, favorable climate, good
and easily accessible markets and
land with a workable surface. All
these conditions are ideally existent
in Western-central Minnesota.
A "One Crop" country is not a
good place in which to carry on sue
cessful farm operations. The farmer
who diyersifies is the one who is the
most prosperous. The shsewd agri-
cvlturist will locate where the best
opportunities for Investigation pres
emit themselves. In this respect west.
ern-central Minnesota stands unparal-
lelled. Twenty-seven different lines
Of farm husbandry can, have been
and are now being carried on in this
region "
The. most prosperous farm commu-
mites are those where farming is car
ried on under natural conditions.
Men make money farming in irri- !
gated districts. if they are good ones,

to be Progressive in Minnesota.

and Champ clark kind,

Underwood and Champ Clark kind,
who are Democrats in victory and
Democrats in defeat, who are Demo
Gratis in Democratic communities and |
Democrats in Republican localities
who favor Democratic legislation
when it favors their interests and who
favor Democratic Legislation when it
is adverse thereto.
Oscar Underwood is one of the
largest stockholders in the Birming-
ham Iron and Steel mills, yet he in
troduced and vigorously supported a |
measure that will materially reduce
the profits on the output Of that con-
Germ. because such measure was in
conformity with Democratic doctrine
and he believed was for the benefit
of the people.
Hundreds of protests came up from
the stock-raisers and butter-makers in
Champ Clark's Missouri district pro-
testing vigorously against certain pro-
visions of the Underwood bill but he
manfully stood by his party because
he believed it was the best thing for
the nation at large. But the Herald
has no time for pocket Democrats
like Foss of Massachusetts, who are
Democrats when Democracy means
Office, honors and emoluments, but
when Democracy proposes legislation
that reduces the profits of their mills
and factories incontinently desert the
party, nor of the Manahan stripe, who
vote and act with the Democrats in
Washington, but who file as Repub-
leans in their own bailiwick in Or
der to secure an election.
The Herald has no criticism to Of
fer Of Progressives like William Hen
ry Hinnebaugh of the Streator, Hi
nois district, who never hides his
Progressiveness under a. bushel, but
fights like tiger for his party in
Washington and when he comes home
files as Progressive for the nomina-
ton and on the election ballot has
Progressive printed after his name.
The Herald has no time for en-
vironment Progressives like Poindex-
ter, who was bourbon Democrat in
Virginia, where the environment was
of that political shade, but when he
removed to Washington state became
the standpatiest kind of a stand
pat Republican until Progressiveness
swept that state, when he projected
himself into that party with the We
locity of shot out of a 14-inch, high
pressure cannon; nor for the Clapp
and Lindbergh policy breed who talk
Progressiveness 1854 days out of the
year and on the 365th go into the
secretary of states Office and with
uplifted hand make solemn affidavit
that they are Republicans knowing
full well that they cannot be elected
in any other way. The Herald pro-
foundry believes that men should
talk and swear in the same political
language. +.

Commercial Club Committee Trying
to Arrange Transportation to
Cass Lake for Thursday.
WILL HEAR, THIS AFTERNOON
(('OuyriGI,i.


T. A. Mccain, who has charge of
the Cass Lake Commercial club trip,
reported this morning that an effort
is being made to get "a special train
to take the Bemidji club over Thurs
day night and back the same eve
ming. Commercial clubs Of cities on
the Mississippi are to meet with the
Cass Lake club Thursday to discuss
matters pertaining to the develop
ment of the Mississippi.
Mr.. McCann took up the matter
with superintendent Knebel of the
Great Northern and Mr.. Knebel said
that train could be furnished for
about SIS. Mr.. Mccain suggested
that the Melrose-Bemidji train be
turned but as that is not in Mr.. Kne-
bells division, the matter was re-
ferred to General Agent Nobel. 1t
is said that the Melrose division men
could not run the train to Cass Lake
and back in their time limit.
If a train service can be arranged
so that the Bemidji men can get to
Cass Lake and come back the same
evening, it is considered probable
that thirty or forty members will
take the trip.

PLAY GRAND RAPIDS FRIDAY

A basket ball game has been
scheduled between the Bemidji High
team and the Grand Rapids High for
next Friday night. The game will
be played on the local floor and root
ers expect to see one of the best
games played in Bemidji this year by
the High school team. Grand Rap
ids defeated the local team at Grand
Rapids two weeks ago but the boys
believe that they can trim them on
the home floor Grand Rapids has
always been Bemidji's biggest athle-
tic opponent and to win from that
team is the local teams highest am
bition. On one occasion the slogan
BEAT Grand Rapids or Bust" was
adopted and other minor incidentals
prove that tie keenest rivalry exists
between the two teams.

FROZEN TO DEATH
ON OPEN PRAIRIE

Rapid City, S. d., March IT,
Huddled in the rear end of a wagon
box and enshrOuded in a mantle of
snow that drifted higher and higher,
about them with each succeeding
gust of wind. A. T. Perry, his wife
and three little children were found
frozen to death by searching party
late Saturday. They had lost their
way on the open prairie in the blind
ing snow. --'..-
The rigid bodies of the father and
mother formed shelter for the pro-
lection of the little ones. The par
ents had utilized every blanket and
all available clothing; which was
bundled around their children, even
sacrificing some of their own gar
ments in. vain attempt to keep them
alive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perry were going
from their home, nine miles west of
Rapid City, to the Holcomb ranch,
east of here, where they intended
spending the summer. Night over
took them and they lost their way.
Perry freed the horses, but he him
self fell PROSTATE and died.
The horses wandered into the cor
raj of Milton Frease, early Saturday,
blind-folded with, gunny sacks. By
following their tracks backward the
bodies of the Perry's were found. One
son, who was found wandering about
the prairie dazed from his effort to
find his parents, lies in a local hos
pital in a precarious condition and
another brother and two men who
searched for the Perry's are miss
ing.

POTATOES MAY GO UP

D. E. Willard, development agent
of the Northern Pacific road, pre-
diets that potatoes, now selling on
the local market for thirty-fve and
forty cents a bushel, will demand
$1.25 bushe1 and even higher with
in the next four weeks, as the result
of what he terms ''powdery dry rot. :"
This rot will not be discovered, he
says, until the merchants open their
storage cellars to supply the spring
demand.
Reports have been received of the
rot from Colorado, Idaho and Nevada
where storage bins are opened earl
Ter than in Minnesota. Mr.. Willard
has received a letter from Prof. E. H.
Grub, potato expert, stating that
a considerable portion of the potatoes
have been affected by the rot.

CONSIDERED SAFE
Legislators Believe House Will Agree
to Senate Amendments Through T.
Fear of Losing Another Vote.
JOHNSON MADE BIG FIGHT
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
: St. Paul, March 17.-Reappor-
portionment is considered safe since
1t has passed the senate. Its be-
lieved that the house members of the
conference committee will agree to
the bill as amended as they are
afraid that it will not pass if re-
turned to the senate with the amend
ments refused. The conference COM
mittee will meet this week.
The spunk displayed by Sen. V. l..
Johnson during the fight on the re-
apportionment measure was sur
prise to all. The senator is of retir-
ing disposition, seldom getting into
an argument, and inclined to remain
in the background. He did not mince
words with the senators from South
ern Minnesota, however, when he
said to them:
'For sixteen years the First and
Third districts have been over-rep-
resented in the legislature. We know
we cannot compel you to give up this
over-representation We must come
and kneel before you in humble sup
plication and beg for what is justly
due U.S."
Much of the credit for passing the
reapportionment bill in the senate is
due to Senator Johnson. AS chair.
man of the reapportionment com.
mittee he saw that every senator
with grievance or suggestion haG
hearing. 1t was at his suggestion
that the First and Third districts
were given an additional senator
each, over the house bill allotment
After this concession he had reason
to believe that the members from
these districts were satisfied. 1t i:
no wonder that he was bit rileC
when he found they were not.
The eastman bill has been slum
bering for week or two. It will be
revived Wednesday when it is a spec
ial order in the house. The friends
of the bill, however, have not been
asleep. H. H. Dunn, Albert Lea, will
lead the, fight for the measure and
the odds seem to be in favor of its
passing -..~.z II. -. =.

Drunken Soldiers Feared.
Our greatest fear was from the
soldiers of both sides. Many of them
were drunk and could not tell for
eigner from a Mexican and visa
versa We feared they would loot
every house in town and rape the wo-
men. I stood guard over a house
full Of women next to where I stayed
for four nights, Sleeping only an
hour or so each night. I only had a
six shooter but l was scared enough
to shoot the first man that molested
me in any way.
There were over 10000 men fight
ing day and night. The roar Of the
cannon, machine guns and rifles has
left me almost deaf. The shells and
shrapnel caused the greatest fear as
the gunners were most reckless with
them. They burst in hundreds Of
houses far out of the line Of fire.
The Americans here behaved
bravely although they were just as
helpless as the women. believe war
would not be so bad but to be in the
position of a non-comba blatant where
you can't fire on any one and still be
fired at is certainly nerve racking
because of ones absolute helpless
ness. I've made up my mind If the
i. S. A. ever has war that I'll vol
unteer. I'd like to get rife and
make some one else as uncomforta Bile
as | was during the fight here.
Briggs and l crossed the firing
line twice in the dead of night to
get provisions. We raided private
house four or five blocks from the
first house in which we stopped. We
had several narrow escapes but got
what we went after. When the
fighting started Pringle and I tried
to get to the Pearson building, which
was we'll prepared for such a revo-
luton, but to get there we had to

DREAD DISEASE IS
 DECREASING SAYS DOCTOR

PARIS, April 24-Lecturing be- fore the Lyceum club of France, Professor Metchnikoff declared that tuberculosis was decreasing, and had been doing so steadily, for the last 40 years.
 This satisfactory state of affairs was particularly noticeable in Lon- don, Boston, Copenhagen and Ham burg, the professor said. In the last named city the number of cases has dropped from 24 to 13 per 10000 in- habitants in eleven years. Prof. Met chnikoff believes that the unconcious absorption of attenuated virus has a great deal to do with the immun- ity noticed among persons living in constant contact with centers of in- lection. Tuberculosis, will probably disappear, he said, in the same way as leprosy, which has long ceased to be contagious. That day, however, is a long way off yet, and there is still much work to be done by scien- lists in the laboratory and physicians in the sick-room.
