Irving, an expert rubber grower

sail for Brazil in charge of a
party of rubber tappers. who
will teach the natives the meth

Corn GROWING Contest.

IN an endeavor to encourage the
growing of corn in Minnesota. the
Minnesota State Bankers association
has promised $500 in cash prizes in a
boys and girls acre~yield corn-grow-
ing contest. The contest will be
similar to the one conducted by the
extension division of the state agri-
cultural college and will be supervised
by experts from that institution,
Twin city bankers will contribute
the larger part of the none y and the
rest will be contributed by country
bankers in all parts of the state.
Circulars are being sent out to all
members of the bankers association,
nearly 1000 in number, urging that
active support be given the move
ment, especially in the raising of
local prizes in addition to the $500.
Within few weeks pamphlets ex-
planning the contest in detail will be
sent out to the 5000 rural schools of
the state and the country boys and
girls everywhere will be asked to Join
the movement.

A Practical ORGANIZATION.

1t is pleasure to learn of the or
ganization of the West Central Min
nesota Development association on a
basis of practical profit to the terri
tory it aims to serve. This associa-
tion has the go-it-alone spirit. It
does not want to lean on the state,
unless and until it shows that it's
members have had the faith to put
up their own money, and have dem
onstrated the practicability of it's
plans.
This association is doing things,
not merely talking about them. Its
plan of organization is widely copied
in. other states because of two facts
One, that it excludes politics; the
other, that it maintains minimum
scale of dues. These two facts insure
the stability and usefulness of the
organization.
West Central Minnesota is practi-
cally out of the colony business. Its
problem now is to keep it's own boys
on the farm, and to bring in new
settlers to develop farms still to be
had. The first problem puzzles the
best wits. 1t runs counter to the
yearning of the American boy to do
something different from what the

father did. It can be solved only on
evolutionary lines. Natural selection
of those boys who are adapted to
farm life is the first consideration.
There is, after that, the development
of the profits of the farm to a point
where they will be attractive, and
there is, third, the improvement of
home life to the point where it's joys

Tramway Built by w. L. Hatch Burns

A letter from Guy Cordiner, who
is now located at Juneau, Alaska, to
his mother in Princeton contained
the following newspaper clipping:
' "a dispatch from Cofdova, dated
January %, reads as follows: The
loading station at the Bonanza mine
caught fire from an overheated stove,
destroying the building and putting
the tramway out of business. The
tram with ten towers which support
ed it became loosened by the burning
of one of the towers and the whole
system crashed into the gulch below,
where it is now piled up in broken
confusion. The tram alone cost
thirty five Thousand dollars and the
loss, which includes the buildings
and Contents, is not less than fifty
thousand dollars. Until the tram is
rebuilt there can be no more ship
ments of copper ore from the famous
Bonanza mine.''
This story is of local interest. from
the fact that w. L. Hatch of Prince
ton was, the superintendent of con-
struction on the tram and that Guv
Cordiner was also employed on the
work.

Home Comforts.

1t is the common idea that country
life is Isolated, but since the advent
of better roads, telephones and free
delivery of mail, nothing could be
farther from the truth. Social in
tercourse is often more restricted in
the city than in the country, the
city woman often not knowing even
her next-door neighbor.
The real secret in bettering coun-
try life and building up country soci-
ability is to give woman a better
chance. She is now too much of

The Approaching Village Election.

Already considerable interest is

the approaching village election.
The village is heavily in debt and
the question that vitality concerns
every taxpayer is, have the affairs of
the village been faithfully and

the past twelve months? If SO then
the sensible thing to do is to con-
tinue the present village officers in
office for another year. If, on the
other hand, no substantial reduction
in the village indebtedness has been
effected during the year, then a
change in the officers may be desira-
