Union. provides literally for pub
lie education and offers every
educational opportunity for its
children. 1t is the custom of the
communities to build rural schools
in different localities in their town
ship. Consolidated schools are
rapidly taking place of rural
schools, giving the pupils the adj
vantage of high school education
without having to leave home, as
is usually the case. 1t is not un-
common to see a school building
costing 500, 100000 in town with
population of 5000.
The feature of the system dwells
on such education that is worth
while and fits the pupil for the
struggle which awaits him after
leaving the class room. An agri-
cultural course is maintained, as
we'll as domestic science, to fit the
girls for the home.
St. Louis County is settling very
rapidly and becoming dotted with
live towns and villages. Every
social and educational advantage
of the older settled counties are
present. The land is easily clear
ed and few acres under cultiva-
ton will keep a large family, while
the rest of the land will support a
large herd of mich cows, which
are constant source of wealth.
The people of Minnesota are not
going elsewhere in search of oppor-
tunities, they find that the best
opportunities prevail in the lake
region of Northern Minnesota.
Not long ago we heard nothing but
irrigation and dry farming of the
west, now it is about the fertile
lands of St. Louis County. Dur
ing the past year Us Minnesota
people bought from forty to 12O-
acre tracts each, in St. Louis Coun-
ty, from one railroad company's
holdings alone. This proves the
above statement.
Prosperous communities are
springing up and creameries, fac
tories and other activities all tend
to enrich this county.
Hundreds who have been toiling
in the cities in mills and factories
are among the many who are TAX
ing advantage of St. Louis County's
wonderful advantages. The pres
emit land values cannot hold for
long; many come as representatives
of several families, others write in
to take advantage of the rush that
the county is now having.
If the agricultural possibilities
that lie at the door of St. Louis
County are fully developed. as they
will be some day, it will be found
that this section of the state has
higher adoption for dairying than
Holland, the greatest dairy country
of its size in Europe.
Years ago when certain men who
had the interests of St. Louis
County at heart, said that some
day Northern Minnesota would be
the finest and greatest agricultural
district in the United States. They
prophesied correctly, as observa-
lions show. On the whole, taking
everything into consideration, a
person can make no mistake in
making a future farm home in ST..
Louis County.

NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY

Where is the man, woman OF
child who does not read daily
newspaper? Not every one can
afford the luxury of travel by
train or trolley, to read adver-
Using there. Home keeping
folks don't tramp aimlessly up
and down the broad highways
after dark to read street signs.
When they do so they have an
objective point and are usually
on pleasure bent, and such pleas
ure costs considerable money.
But who is too poor to buy a
paper? Indeed, who can afford
to be without one?
The newspaper is an advertis-
ing medium of the first class, be-
cause it carries more in number
and greater variety of announ-
cements than any other and at
less cost. 1t gives greater value
for its cost than any other me-
dunn.
The newspaper is the litera-
ture of the masses and is often
their Bible at the same time.
Local and national advertisers
can reach more people through
the newspaper than through any
other known medium of public
ity and can get quicker, more
immediate and lasting results by
its use than by any other means.
The newspaper advertiser
reaches all who read anything,
and his constituency is practi-
cally unlimited. All who read
news-and who does not?-read
advertisements for the simple
reason that they cannot help do
ing so. Indeed, the daily news
paper is, as has been wittily said,
"a small body of literature (on-
ly its volume is underestimated)
entirely surrounded by adver-
tisements."
1t pays to advertise-in the
right medium. And among such
the newspaper is supreme. 1t is
new every day.-The Fourth
Estate.

succession.

OF refer montgomery NOO0O/J,
(sire of the phenominally fast
yearling filly, Montgomery
Belle (I) 2:28H, who was the
first and only yearling that ever
trotted quarter in "a seconds
and half in ITO, as early in
the season as June, and who,
Except for sickness) would
have, in all probability, lowered
the worlds yearling record of
2:15A).
She was not the only fast one
by him for, of his six yearlings in
1913, two others showed phe-
nominal speed and could have
taken records better than 2;3o
had they been trained in early
part of season.
A very noted student of the
science of breeding, Zone who
has made two million dollars in
the business), has this to say:
THE only way to be absolutely
sure of what you are doing, is
to select sire from a family
ALL of whose members show
an ability to trot fast" Peter
Montgomery is a worthy mem
Der of just such family. His
father and mother and all their
children, without a single excep-
ton, have demonstrated their
ability to trot, and trot fast
Three of them have trotted bet
ter than 2:Io, yearling in 2:3o
and a two year old in 1894.
Peter Montgomery as a yearl-
ing showed more speed than
any other in 1908 at the Patchen
Wilkes Farm but, meeting with
an accident was not trained.
However, as a six year old, he
had so far recovered from his
injury as to be able with only
40 days training to show an
ability to trot better than 2:3o.
So soon as he entirely RECEIVERS,
which is only a question of a
year or two, he will be one of,
if not the fastest of his wonder
fully fast family.
Prof. Anderson Of the State
University of Kentucky, has Sc
lected him as his IDEAL trot-
ting horse and sire and has this
to say of him in the text book
to be used in the agricultural
ent of the university:
Figure 4 is Peter w 2 :o8H in
his racing form. Photo taken a
moment after he made his rec
ord on the Lexington track. |
Figure 5 is Peter Montgomery.
In conformation these two sons
of Peter The Great and The
Widow are very much alike.
Both have beautifully turned
withers, graceful neck, and
neat head and ears. Peter
Montgomery is a beautiful
horse in action. His head
and neck are carried in the
most graceful form, his tail ele-
waited in show horse style, and
his trot is square and true and
done without apparent effort.
The only yearling by him train
ed took a record in 1913 of
2 :28H, and a number of his
weanlings are showing unusual
speed. That Peter Montgomery
is, barring accidents, destined 10
become a great one, there can
be no doubt. He has a most
rich inheritance in his sire and
dam, and his produce show that
he can pass that inheritance on.
Speed in the standard bred is
essential, but it is most fortu-
nate TO have beauty of confor-
nation along with it as has
Peter Montgomery"
Peter The Great and George
Wilkes are beyond question the
wo greatest trotting sires that
