brief extracts from that protest will
show where Governor Lister stands in
this crisis of the university of the
state:
When consider the action of
the board of regents of the Uni
versity of Washington in asking
the resignation of President Kane,
and in removing him upon his re-
fusal to resign, the matter, in my
opinion. ought to be considered
purely from standpoint of the
university as great educational
factor in the state. It ought not
to be considered alone from it's
present effect, but also from
standpoint of what the result will
be to the university in the future.
Regardless of what the senti.
ment may be in relation to the
capabilities of Dr. Kane as presi.
dent Of the university, and even
though great many people may
feel that conditions could be i'm.
proved by the selection Of an.
other president, cannot but feel
that those who are interested in
seeing the university develop
along proper lines look upon the
present action as detrimental
rather than beneficial to the uni.
versity.
Instead of using his appointive
power to further his political ambi-
lions, Governor Lister enjoys the dis
tinction of being the first governor
OF the state to ignore political views
in the selection Of university regents.
Two vacancies-not of his creation
have occurred since Ernest Lister
became governor, and his first ap
pointment was Geo. H. Walker, a
political opponent, of Seattle, and
who takes a stand directly opposed
to that Of the governor in the Kane
controversy. The second was that Of
Eldridge Wheeler, of Montesano, who
attended his first meeting when Kane
was ousted, and whose word we have
that he has had no communication
with the governor since his appoint
ment.
The fact is that the inactivity O.
Gov. Lister during his first year. IL
the matter Of making room for part,
friends, stands out in bold relief wher
compared with any former change o

tory of the state, and it will require
more than the lucubrations Of the
2x4 standpat papers to convince the
public that he is about to make a
start in that direction on the state
university.

Signs of the Times.

Signs of the Times.
Within the past week several mat
ters have come to the attention of the
editor which put together indicate
that the farmers of this country are
getting the cooperative spirit and
that the future will see a decided
change in their relations with their
neighbors and between communities
In the town of Grant Valley a
farmers club has been organized with
eighteen charter members. The OBJ
ject OF the club is to furnish a. means
for the exchange of information and
meetings are held once a month at
the homes of different members. In
the summer joint meetings will be
held with other clubs so that the in
formation gathered finally will be
more than local. ..
In the town of Summit four farm
ers have dubbed together and will
buy a high grade bull. They are not
looking for a thoroughbred but one
that comes Of good strain and is a
good individual. Each farmer will
keep the bull three months of the
year, will charge himself and the
other three one dollar for each sery-
ice and will charge the other neigh
bors two. At the end of the year, the
earnings of the bull will be divided
III four shares, each partner getting
his as return on his investment.
In the town of Nebish, three farm
ers have decided to buy a good bull
on the same plan used in Summit and
are waiting until they find the right
fourth. The Nebish men are beliey-
ers in fall calying and plan to have
their cows come fresh sometime after
the first Of September, They are look
ing for a young bull that can berais-
ed for service next year. They plan to
make Nebish the center of a big
cream shipping community and are
after young Guernsey.
Several communities are planning
to organize farmers clubs of twelve
families each. This number appears
to be the most convenient as then the
club can meet with each family once
a month and no family will entertain
oftener than once year. Where
communities are thickly settled two
or more clubs can be formed and in
ter club meetings held during the
summer in nearby groves or in win
ter in convenient school houses. AS
an exchange for experience and in
formation, small farmers club can
not be excelled. Where one subject
is taken for each meeting and every
man in the club is given five min
utes to talk on it, good amount Of
Information can be cleaned in an
evening. @5&zE
The farmers wife in Northern
Minnesota does not have an easy lot.
Her only diversions from her house.
work are going to town once in
while and visiting her neighhors. To
her the club comes as an opportunity
once a month to meet the other wo-
men of her neighborhood and talk
over with them matters of interest
to the women only. The club is as
important to the wife as to the farm
When the country is we'll dotted
with clubs, it will be easy to extend
the cooperation from one neighbor-
hood to another and eventually band
them all in a common club which can
have headquarters in Bemidji. Each
small club can be represented by one
or two members and the representa-
tive club can be made a force Of great
good for both the farmers and the
townspeople.

CHAPTER XVII.
Gu. o, the Fullness Of the Heart.

Out Of the Fullness OF the Heart.
That night II was Berny's turn to
be wakeful In the silence OF the sleep
ing house and the warm darkness or
her curtained room. she lay tossing
on her bed, hearing the clear, musical
striking Of the parlor clock as II
marked the hours. When the nrst
thin streak OF gray painted pale line
between the window curtains she rose
and took a sleeping powder and soon
after fell into a heavy slumber.
This held her in the dead, motion
less Inconsistencies that a drug
brings, through the long morning
hours. Dominick's noiseless departure
hardly disturbed the hushed quiet OF
the little fat. The Chinaman, trained
by his exacting mistress to make no
sound while she slept, went about his
work with stealthy step and cautious
touch, even in the kitchen, shut on by
space and muffling doors, continuing
his care. He had had more than one
experience with the wrath Of Mrs.
Ryan when she had been reused from
late slumbers by a banged door or
dropped pan.
1t was nearly lunch-time when she
awoke, slowly emerging from the
black, unbroken deadness of her sleep
to a momentarily augmenting sense or
depression. She rose, her body SEEM
ing to participate in the oppressed
discomfort of her mind. and. going to
the bedroom window, drew the curtain
and looked out.
The day promised little in the way
of cheering influences. Fog hung
heavy in the air, a gray veil depend
ing from a gray haze Of sky. That
portion Of her neighbours garden which
the window commanded was drenched
with It. the flowers dropping MOSTLY
as IL It weighed on them like heavy
substance under the refssure OF which
they bent and driprss. The stretch
OF wall that she could see cleaned
with dampness. A corner Of stone, on
which a drop regularly formed, hung
and then fell, held her eyes for few
notwithstanding moments. Then she
turned away, muttering to herself:
Good Lord, what a day!"
She was at her lunch when the tele-
phone bell rang. She dropped her
napkin and ran to the instrument
which was in the hall, She did not
know what she expected-or rather
she did not expect anything in par
ticular-but she was In that state of
feverish tension when 1he seemed the
focus of portentous happenings, the
point upon which events Of sinister
menace might, at any moment, bear
down. Bill Cannon might be calling
her up, for what purpose she could not
guess, only for something that would
be disagreeable and r~rturbing.
(To BE CONrTUED.)
