ailing only about weeks time and
Left here for Grand Forks a week pre-

telegram stating that her husband was
in critical condition and that her
presence was demanded at once at

found necessary to have another op-

Some people in other states have
heiidea that the winters Of Northern

ingsweather which we usually do have
atsshis season of the year, they would

qllIte cold here, but it is seldom that
tAss Thermometer registers more than
tWehty below and the average is gen
,eraAy much less than that even fo1
our coldest month, January. And %
OF even 80 below in our dry atmo.
sphere is not near as disagreeable as
at;or slightly above the freezing point
ina more damp atmosphere further
south. People who have gone south
to spend the winters say they suffer
more from colds in thedamp, change
able climate in the south than in the
dry equable climate which we have
here, And we have another big ad.
4 vantage in having NO, mud or slush to
wade around in during the winter
months, causing wet feet, colds and
other bodily discomforts. There is
lesa sickness here during the winter
MONTHS than at any other season Of
the year. Our people can travel
about with pleasure ali winter and the
roads are generally good Surely our
Northern Minnesota winter is ideal

WINTER WHEAT is A SUCCESS

:.
Mr.. G. L. Short, one of the success
full farmers near Angus, has made a
big success raising winter wheat.
Two years ago his crop averaged 40
bushels per acre and last year about
25. The method which Mr.. Short has
followed is to drill in the grain on the
s1ubble field without plowing, thus
leaving part of the stubble to catch
the snow in the winter and protect
from injury by frost Whether this
method will be found the correct one
every year, further experiments may
have to determine, but at any rate
Mr.. Short has demonstrated that win
ter wheat can be grown here with
marked success. IS

CORN A PROFITABLE CROP

More corn is being raised in Mar
shall county with every passing year.
Farmers are beginning to realize that
it is one of the most profitable crops
that can be raised on the farm. A
ten acre plot of ground will produce
more feed for stock than 100 acres in
tame grasses will in most years. Many
farmers have built silos and they
say that silage is the cheapest feed
that can be found, and when fed to-
gether with clover hay will produce
a we'll balanced ration. For milch
cows there can be nothing better, and
the creamery tickets will show it. In
the future corn is bound to add great
ly to the wealth Of Marshall county.

: JUVENILE BosToNlANs, FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY., JAN. 17-1s Il.

The present is Al ear of theatrical
revivals and in this respect the .Juye-
nile Bostonianss are fully abreast the
time, their patronage having been
given to the famous French composer
Edmond Audran, whose splendid Co
mic operas, the best Of which are la
Mascotte" and "Olivette", were the
rage ofs5the early sos. Both these
are being presented on the present
tour and are tremendously popular.
On Friday evening they present the
Dream Girl. Saturday evening, coli
vette"
z "Olivette," it will be recalled, is the
droll and interesting narrative of Gu
pid's interference with q lovely young
lnaiden's commitment to a convent.
The story itself holds enough interest
to Justify staging and with the gem
studded score of Audran it is irresisti-
bic. It's music never can grow old,
and If musical comedy composer Of
to-day could equal the scoge
tune would .be made. 81 = ''sass
Audran's la .Mascotte' was wors
thy successor Of his "olivette" just
as Gilbert & Sullivans "Mikado"
crowned the triumph "Pinafore" had
won. OF all the Audran works LA
Mascotte" is the brightest and most
extravagantly staged, it's feeting ac.
tion time and again jumping from
one scene to another of totally differ
ent environment. A pretty love story
and the comedy complications arising
from a masquerade provide the main
interest of the plot, but despite the
attractiveness Of the story, it is al
most lost in appreciation of the rich
Interpolation of song and orchestral
effects.

Mcintosh, a Negro himself, was

based on faulty instructions by

question.
The appellant had contended
that Negroes were barred from the
jury panel, although there were
10000 to 1900 in the county.
Judge Furman held that the trial
court should have given the de-
fendant an opportunity to prove
that the Negroes were kept off be-
cause of color alone. He held al

voter was qualified for jury ser,

OIL AND GAS
IN OKLAHOMA

The recent report of the U. S.

lahoma is forging to the front
ranks in the production of oil and
gas. In 1906 the famous Glenn
pool was discovered and many
persons reaped a fortune from the
oil in that pool. The Henryetta
pool and the Schulter pool bid
fair to equal the Glenn pool and
we look for many fortunes to come
from investments in these fields

1T the Negro had oue-tenth as
much interest in living as he has
in dying he could publish a great
daily newspaper in every large
city. If he looked for reward on
earth as hopefully as he looks for
it in heaven, he would find his re-
ward in doing a hundred good
things while OH earth that might
not conflict with his religion.
Religion, education, wealth and
health all combine to beautify and
adorn man into Gods image, but
the image of living God. A
dead Negro going to heaven isn't
any good for our material world,
only as he rapidly crumbles back
into dust.
The great daily newspaper is as
much one of the very pressing
needs of the race as the church,
the college or the farm. A pro-
gressive race cannot we'll afford to
dispense with any element of
strength that can be welded into
our racial structure.
Look at the potency and infu-
ence of our weekly papers dealing
almost wholly with race news only.
And yet only a small fraction of
race news, for as yet no incentive
has stimulated the race along the
line of newsgatheripg. Imagine
what a great and beautiful world
would open up to the Negro in
the realm of daily journalism.
Necessity would in truth become
the mother of invention, and if ev-
er it were possible to attain reci-
procity in journalism, the Negro
would find greater facilities in get
ting favorable race news printed i'll
the metropolitan press of the coun-
try, and he would have also some
influence in having unfavorable
news and scarce headlines proder-
ly censored or withheld altogether.
Until the Negro shall have mar
shaled his forces in the world of
thought, and built up for himself
a real fortress, viz, the daily news
paper propaganda, he will not be
taken seriously, and a very large
per cent. of race effort along every
avenue of race development will
lag, and drag, and much will be
disregarded for lack of impetus,
while a great deal will but poorly
be supported. 1t is no vain
speech to say that for the most
part the vast majority of Negroes
who have become generally known
owe it to such papers as the In
dianapolis Freeman, the New
York Age, the Southwestern Chris
tian Advocate, the Bee, the Color

Oakland, Cal, Dec. 30-A call
has been issued to the Pullman
porters of the country by p. L.
Saulter, Oakland, Cal in an effort
to get them to come together in an
organized union. In his letter he
refers to the advantages taken of
the porters by the officials over
them, the way in which their mon
ey is deducted for so-called short
ages, the oppressive actions of il
literate and ignorant conductors,
the subserviency which they are
obliged to show to anybody who is
able to buy accommodations on
their cars, and declares that it is
necessary for self protection that
some kind of an organization be
formed by means of which these
wrongs can be stopped. Expen-
ses of the proposed organization
will be met by Mr.. Saulter himself
and the porters will not be called
on to bear any part of it. The
company will be asked 10 increase
wages, give better treatment and IA
number of other concessions will
be asked for. The porters are re-
quested to sign the lists which Mr..
Saulter has had prepared and
which he has sent out to various
parts of the country.
