That Minnesota is a great agricul-

OF :ron. the most useful metal known
to man. Since 1906 over ESQ mil

of the Minnesota tax commission
there are / .4O7,21S,914 tons of mer-

Vermillion and II ,085,440 on the Gu

mines Of the state have turned into
the state treasury the sum of 81, 1885,

What with the happy hustle and

which Christmas brings, there is real
danger that the deepest significance Of
the day may be overlooked. Superb

Claus. Of feasting and of the giving.
and receiving Of presents But if that
is all that it is it is not enough.
] The heart OF Christmas the meaning
that vitalizes all the observances and
perpetuates the festival throughout the
centuries is a rude manger in an
oriental khan. wherein lay the Babe.

The Farm Boy Who Can Dream

1t is a good thing for the farmer
boy to have an imagination. It is a
good thing for him to "dream dreams
and see visions" It takes the dream
err ito see the transformation that in
telligent effort will bring to pass on
the old place. It. takes the dreamer
to see how much more desirable that
place will be ten years hence than a
job in dry goods store. It is the boy
who dreams who sees a field of
thrifty alfalfa where the stunted yell
low corn is growing on the timber
forty. It is the boy who dreams who
sees those hungry looking. cows with
burs in their tails replaced by herd
of dairy matrons that tax the capaci-
tN Of the milk can at their milking.
It is the boy who dreams that sees a
waving cornfeld where the cattails
are growing, and who sees a woven
wire fence in, place of the old hedge
and new barn where the tcrH shed
is falling to pieces. We need more
dreamers on the farm. Prairie

The Value of Agricultural Training.

Prof. T. N. Carver states that
when superior knowledge of agri-
cultural science is added to the pos
session of adequate capital, the pos
sibilities that lie in farming are
greatly increased. 1t is also true
that with training in agriculture it
will be easier and more certain that
the necessary capital required will be
earned. Either way demands the
trained farmer-the man who knows
the soil; the problems that come thru
insect pests and through plant dis
eases; the problems of farm bust
ness, including bookkeeping, market
ing and management. No one can
say that the farmer must not be we'll
trained. The state has made am
pic provision for this training believ-
ing that good farming will return
many times the cost of schools that
are established. The farmers are
showing their appreciation and many
a farm home enjoys the experience of
Someone who has studied the prob
lens to be met. At numerous schools
every year hundreds of students
come for the regular or one Of the
short courses to get this training
The Agricultural School at Crooks
tell specializes in this practical work
and offers opportunities no one can
afford to let slip by.

President Wilson in his message
to congress yesterday pleads for
peace and against any unnatural and
spasmodic increase in the army and
navy. No anxiety need be felt by
any as to the sufficiency of our ma
tional defense. 1t will always be
kept strong enough to cope with any
exigency that may arise. He also
advocates extension of our Central
and South American trade, the up
building of our merchant marine,
conservation, self-government for the
Philippines, rural vredits and ma
tional economy. He stated verbally
that his administration was practic-
ally thru with legislation for the reg
ulation of business, the party pro-
gram evidently being to engage in
watchful waiting to see what fruit
the legislation already enacted may
bring forth.

International Game Preservation.

International Game Preservation.
Speaking Of game, is it not posi-
bic to come to some international un-
derstanding as to the open seasons
The dignity Of neither Canada or the
U. S. would suffer if some big wild
animal or wild bird loving man came
forward and suggested plan to get
the Minnesota, Manitoba; North Da-
kota, Saskatchewan and Montana
Sportsmen together. In the neigh
boring state Of Minnesota the deer
shooting season has been open for
some time. Deer have been numerous
this season and the number killed in
Minnesota will run into many thou
sands. Then as to chickens and even
ducks Saskatchewan sportsmen are
banging away sooner and later than
cur nimrods in Manitoba. So far as
prairie chickens are concerned, the
birds, excepting the square tails, are
not migratory, and coveys range
within a, comparatively limited area,
nevertheless there would be a great
profit from annual interchange Of
ideas between the sportsmen Of tho

The Heart of Christmas.

Christmas is birthday celebra-
ton. With some people it seems a
good deal like their second cousins.
TO whom they drop postcard or send
a messenger boy with holly wreath.
Similarly they feel that they have
done the occasion due honor, if the
small boy is sent to the Sunday
school Christmas tree entertainment,
to receive his bag of candy and pop
corn.
Rather it ought to be the annivers-
! airy of some one inexpressibly dear,
as if Of your own mother, father, or
child. Under all the jollity of the
home Christmas tree, the sparkle of
candles and chorus of happy greet
ings, there is the deep sense of thank
fulness that the loved one is here and
near and we'll. So at the church.
It is an occasion for merriment, for
sunshiny child faces, and the peal of
child laughter. At the same time,
forgetting the Lord and Master of US
all at this birthday celebration is
something like loafing around the
street when your father and mother
celebrate their golden wedding.
