CLASH ON AT ROCHESTER
Former President Of the City Council
About to Bring
Charges.

Enthusiastically Treasurer Thomas
P. Hall. Street Commissioner and City
Engineer Henry Gebeler and Alderman
William Enke, who is chairman of the
street and alley committee, are to be
named defendants in suit charging
them with incorporation Of city
funds, by Charles Joslyn, former pres
ident of the city couicil.
The action is prompted by the fact
that instead of engaging outside labor,
the city fire department was paid by
the city for cleaning its paved streets.
Rochester has two fire teams, stand
ing idle the greater part of the time,
and it was the belief that it was econ
omy to use the city teams for the pur-
pose instead of hiring others. The
money was then paid to the fire de-
partrnent for the work.
The contention is that under the
charter the officials had no right to
pay the department for the labor when
it is paid by the city for fire protec-
ton purposes, and that under the
charter the city treasurer had no right
to pay the bills or to transfer money
from the general fund to the fire pro-
lection fund. The case will be heard
at the June term of the district court.

MIXED FARMING is TRIED
Story of the Successful Innovations
Of Mr.. r. T. Buck
Ter.

Crookston--R. T. Buckler has been
here eight years and owns $50 acres
Of land. He has just disposed of his
eighth car of livestock from his farm
this winter, one car of hogs, one of
cattle and six of sheep, for little
over $4,000. Eight years ago, when
Mr.. Buckler took possession of his
farm, his wheat yield averaged 10
bushels an acre, oats 25 and barley
10. In 1911 his wheat yield averaged
10 bushels an acre, barley SO and oats
80. In 1912 his average was: wheat,
PIN; barley, As, and oats, 40 to 50.
Mr.. Buckler says that Red River Val
ley land is easily worth 500 an acre,
as estimated by James j. Hill, and that
properly farmed, it will produce more
than any land in the United States at
the price it is held. He raises at least
rs acres Of corn each year and good
acreage of potatoes. He also figures
that potato crop, in the increased
grain yields for the two succeeding
years, is worth $40 an acre. Every
year more farmers are following the
farming methods adopted by Mr..
Buckler. ~

dent; w. E. Day, secretary and treas
urer; Gust Gubrud, vice president; H.

FRACTIONS.
H0MEMAKING is DISCUSSED
Miss olosa Says Women Should be
Taught that Housekeeping 10
No Longer a Drudgery to
Be Summed.

Owatonna-The big corn show
opened in splendid style early Thurs
day, and before noon the armory was
crowded with visitors. The exhibits
OF corn were the finest ever seen in
this section and more than 200 entries
were made. All the corn shown was
Mlnnesota-grown and gave evidence
OF the great strides made in corn cul-
ture in this state the past, decade.
Silver king, white dent, yellow dent
and Uncle Sam corn predominated in
the varieties shown. In the farmers
class Friday an hour was devoted to
picking out the best ears of corn at
sight and giving the reasons. I'm
sect Enemies of Corn and How to Pre-
vent Them" was the subject of lee
ture by Theodore Sexauer. An inter-
estfng discussion on the best modes
of harvesting and storing seed corn
followed
Five hundred farmers crowded the
court house to it's capacity at the
farmers institute and convention held
in connection with the corn show. Pro-
fessor c. S. Cathcart delivered lee
ture on agriculture. George Flynn,
the celebrated raiser of fancy stock,
gave an interesting address. He has
offered prizes amounting to SIS for
the best exhibits at the corn show
Miss Mabel Olson said the vocation
OF homemaking should be made an
art to teach women of the community
that housekeeping is no longer drrdg-
cry, but science, to awaken their in
terests in wider questions of sound
laws, sanitary, artistic dwellings, pure
food and healthful clothing House
keeping is no longer a matter of intui-
ton, but Of trained minds and hands.
The practical side of life must be
given time, study and thought. Home
care of the sick, cookery and santa
ton were subjects considered in the
woman's department of the show, and
200 women attended. Farmers wives
and city society matrons studied side
by side.

.HELP PARENTS" HE SAYS
System of Credits, for Pupils Also,
Proposed by Federal Ed
ucator.

Albert Lea.-Harold Dahlen, county
superintendent of schools, has decided
to act upon suggestion made by the
United States commissioner Of educa-
ton P. P. ClaXton, and start system
Of credits to encourage pupils to help
their parents by performing tasks at
home. The plan has been successful
ly used by Superintendent Alderman
of Oregon, and the United States bur-
eau of education has sent out $4,000
copies of the report on the work to
county superintendent throughout the
country.
The idea is to give so much credit
to pupil who assists with the work
and chores about his home. The time
allowed will go toward holiday, not
more than one of which will be given
month. The time credits are as fol-
lows:
Feeding the chickens, minutes;
gathering eggs, Is minutes; setting the
table, 5 minutes; going to bed before
9 o'clock, 10 minutes; milking cows,
20 minutes; brushing teeth, minutes.
The credits were taken from specific
cases and may vary or be changed to
suit different schools. In booklet is
used the experiments under this sys-
tenn are contained testimonials from
parents, which speak in the highest
terms of the trials given their chill
dren. Parents say that the system
works a remarkable change and that
home tasks were made pleasant to the
boys and girls.
Mr.. Dahlen will begin the plan in
only part of the county schools at
first, but if it proves satisfactory it
will be adopted throughout the county.
