WILL GRADUATE
FROM c. N. C.
John Wilson, Polk Co.
Boy, to receive
His Diploma
Jefferson City, Tenn,
May 4th, 1914.


While reading in the paper
for April Both, the report of the
commencement exercises of the
High School and of the ones
who graduated, the success and
good record that was made by
the school this year, | wondered
if there ever had been a native
of Polk county who graduated
from college of liberal arts,
getting a Bachelors degree. SO
far as my knowledge goes, there
has not been one. If there has
it must have been sometime
back and he has left the county.
Will not someone who is author
ity on this let us know whether
this is true or not?
If 1T is true it will not be long
for John W. Wilson, a Polk
county boy from FIVE miles north
of Benton, belongs to the class
Of 1914 III Carson Newman Col
lege, the class that graduates
this year, and on the 20 Of this.
month ~ viii receive bis diplQ-
aia wTi1Is Will Wiwe him u
degree of Bachelor of Arts.
He is a young man yet, being
Just in the twenties, and de-
serves much credit for what he
has achieved. Entering in the
preparatory department here in
the Spring of 1910, he has been
ia regular attendance with the
exception Of one term that he
was out, teaching, and in eight
terms, four years, he has done
twelve terms or six years work;
aud in addition has taken a
business course this term, also
two more studies Than those re-
auired for him 10 graduate.
He has made most of the
money that his college course
has cost him, teaching and doing
other work during vacation. He
is a worker and a sucker, and
when it comes to reading he
apparently devours the contents
of a book with more ease and
pleasure than a hog devours an
ear Of corn. While in conver'
sation with him some stime ago
I asked him: 'Now that you are
a Senior and will soon receive
your diploma, is there any one
thing or person, more than an
other, to which you attribute
your getting college educa-
tion?" He relied "No, nothing
only that | took d little of the
much good advice that was
given me by all of nv teachers. "
He has several offers OF high
school positions, but has not
accepted any yet. Surely, with
the ability he has shown while
here in college, he can succeed
wherever he may go.
And may there be many more
of Polk's boys follow the path
which he has blazed out, even to
tue top, and then on across!

Look Out for White Grubs.

White Agrubs are getting ready to
wage war son Minnesota's farm crops
next year. Apparently word has gone
out from their "war lord" to the ef-
feet that Minnesota's fields yield
good forage. The only thing for
Minnesota's farmers to do is to pre-
pare their defenses now. Fall plow-
ing time is the time to weaken next
summers attack by the grubs.
William Moore, head of the section
of truck crop and greenhouse insects,
division ct entomology, University
Farm, summons the farmers to ac-
tivity in the following:
''Next year, from all indications,
white grubs will be abundant. As it
is impossible to destroy the grubs
under field conditions, when they are
causing injury, farmers should do all
in their power to preevnt an attack.
"The first preventive measure to be
adopted Is the fall-plowing of all
fields which have been in clover,
small grain, or sod this year. It
would be well also to turn hogs into
such fields, as they will destroy large
numbers of the grubs.
in planting fields next year, the
farmer should plan his work so as
not to put corn, potatoes, strawber-
ries, or other similar susceptible
plants in laIr, winch has been in sod
or clover this year unless the fields
have been fall plowed. Clover, al
falfa, buckwheat, wheat, rye or oats
can be planted in such fields as have
not been fsll ploWed. Corn can be
niantea in Land where there hss beer
some wei-cuitivatea crop this year
as the beetles do not lay eggssin wei
cultivated land. Farmers should
watch, when plowing, as they ca.
easily determine which fields art
most severely infested, by the mum
ber Of grubs turned over when ploW

WAS A SWINDLER.

One day last week Persian or Sy-
rian came into our office and unfolded
formidable looking paper with a
batch of testimonials attached, same
purporting to be an authorization for
him to collect money for some kind of
benevolent institution in his home
land, an orphanage, we believe. We
gave him a small amount and we
learn that large number of our cit
liens gave him larger or smaller
sums OF money. Now we learn that
the .. S. authorities are looking for
the man and that he is nothing more
nor less than common swindler, he
himself being the orphan for whom
ne was begging. Most of us are too
easily duped by begging strangers.

COMMITS SUICIDE.

In a fit of despondency caused by
poor health and the infrmities of old
age, John Bren, retired farmer,
aged 86, living at the farm home of
his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Filipi, near
Angus, took his own life by shooting
himself with 12-guage shot gun on
Tuesday night last week The un-
fortunate man had left his room dur
ing the night and gone to spot near
the machinery building on the farm
and there fired the fatal shot. DR..
Nelson, the coroner, of Crookston,
was summoned, but no inquest was
deemed necessary. Deceased was a
respected pioneer of this valley and
the rash deed which is attributable to
failing health solely, is much regret
ted by his many friends.

Water Bodies That Flow Two Ways.
IN nort1hern Minnesota, there IS =
great area 81 land SO fiat that its
waters sometimes flow into Hudson

northern outlet carrying water thru
Red River or Rainy River to Lake
Winnipeg and thence to Hudson Bay,
while the southern outlet carries wa

He watched her closely as he put
the question. She was holding up q

smile on her lips. It must have been
her favorite gown. The smile faded
away. The hand that dangled the gar
