EFFORTS TO
BE- COMBINED

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. GA call
has been issued to 5000 land men for
a meeting in Minneapolis on March 4
to arrange for an organization having
for its object a bigger Minnesota. 1t
is proposed that all shall pull together
and systematic their efforts particu-
larly in proper county advertising in
Minnesota as we'll as outside, backing
I'D the different development assocla-
tons in their publicity work and urge
the state to give more aid to the work.
Following is the call for b meeting:
Although Minnesota has upwards
of 20, 000, 900 acres Of tillable land in
its primeval condition and approx
mately 10000 lakes, we have no sus-
tanned publicity policy.
Money goes out in driblets from
the state immigration department, the
various development associations, the
railroads, real estate men n others,
too little in any n medium to attract
the attention which we should have to
compete with other sections Of the
country.
TO increase Effective Advertising.
"To find means for concentrating
our advertising expenditures and pub
licity efforts, we want you and every
other person who is trying to sell Min
nesota land to meet with us in Min
neapolis March 4. for the purpose of
Ormln an organization or land men
and adopting plans which will, while
reducing the individual expense, very
largely increase the efficiency of the
states advertising campaign.
This meeting should appeal to the
| dealers in every section Of the state,
first, because it should be to the inter
est Of all Minnesota dealers to settle
the vacant lands in the northwest por-
| tions of the state, n again on &C
count of the large numbers of buyers
who are sure to be attracted from the
states east of us for land in the south
ern and central sections Of Minnesota
where farmers coming off land valued
at from 5000 to $500 an acre are more
likely to invest than in the more prim-
tive district farther north.

A Time to Be Quiet.

New York Evening Post: Now, as
we have said many times before, hon.
est men and good men differ in their
interpretations both of facts and Of u
duty, in regard to the Filipinos. 1t Ia
a fair subject for public debate. But
every man who engages in it should
first search his own heart to make sure
that he hasno selfish interest in argu-
ing for a continued holding of the is
landers in subsection. We can listen
with patience, If not with agreement
to ex-President Taft, for no n sup
poses that he Is speaking aught but his
sincere belief, uncolored by any
thought Of private advantage. But the
case may be different with men who
are avowedly engaged in enterprise to
make money out of the Philippines,
and who desire that American control
be indefinitely prolonged in order to
further their projects. For such peo-
pie to set themselves up either as III
thorities or as disinterested guides is
a piece Of effrontery. They may be
right in their opinion, but they at least
ought to have the grace to keep still,
when it is SO evident that they are
arguing for their OWE pockets. High
reasoning on destiny and International
relations is certain to fall to the
| ground with a thud when it is known
that the high ~reasoners are intent upon
capitalizing their convictions. and
turning their opinions into cold cash.

CROOKSTON CLUB
NEARS The GOAL

Crookston, Mimi, Feb. 6. - Closing
the first day of a two days campaign
for membership in the Crookston
Commercial club, the committee OF
forty-six, working in pairs, secured a
total membership of FOL when ina
report was made last evening, leaving
but 299 more to reach the 1000 mark.
This will put the commercial club
on a budget basis, with ample cash
for the various activities the ensuing
year. The budget includes double What
has eve been expended before for
conventions, provides for all charities,
for which business men will no longer
be solicited, provides for a salaried
secretary and an additional steno-
grapher on a yearly salary, and ample
provision for an advertising campaign
for the city.
The regeneration Of Fthe commercial
club is the beginning of q united effort
on the part of Crookston to do bigger
things than ever before attempted.
With a water power plant completed,
making unlimited power available, a
manufacturing site within the city
limits, forty acres bought and paid
for, with agricultural conditions the
most promising in the history of the
Red river valley, and with a Farm
Crops show scheduled for Feb. IS, 10
and 20, which will show the wonderful
progress made along the better farm
plan, it is believed a new era is dawn
ing for northwestern Minnesota.

KNOW Your Children.

From Our Children, by Wells Hast
ings. in The Century: Our trouble is
not that we do not care, but that RAJ
cialIy we are more inclined to act than
to think. There is only one compre-l
hensive rule for bringing up children.
and that is that we must honestly rack
our reluctant minds until they give
us back something of u own forgot
ten emotions: that we must give inI
measure as we expect to receive; that
we must acknowledge the child's mind
and emotions to resemble u own in
scarcely limited counterpart. Subjec-
tive teaching is the only teaching
worth while, and sympathy the only
kind of love which will buy us the
best. Children learn most by example,
and they throw open the doors of their
hearts to those who have shown them
that hearts have doors. The old quar-
rel is the most wasteful and unneces-
sary one. It is human to desire some
friendship, and those OF us who have
children, and in whom the desire is
strong, may really know at least one
or two men and women a decade or sc
from now

CENTENARY OF CON- y
GRESS OF CHATlLLoN
AND FAMOUS ODE.

One hundred years 81 Feb. 4, 1914,
a congress was opened at Chatillon, on
the Seine in France. at which the rep
resentatives of England, Prussia, Rus
STA and Austria discussed terms OF
peace with Napoleon. The negotia-
tons, which continued until March 10,
varied according to the success or fail
ure Of the armies in the field. Ma
poleon had reached a point where he
would gladly have accepted the terms
offered in 1913. but the allies refused,
to renew that proposal. They decreed.
that France must come down to hen
limits Of 1889. What" cried Napoleon,
leave France smaller than / found
her? Never!" he swore, and fought
on against tremendous odds.
At the Chatillon congress Napoleon
was represented by Caulaincourt. With
his imperial master in the field. shut
off from quick communication. and
with the allies steadily closing in upon
Paris, Caulaincourt played from the
first a losing game. A man OF no great
ability, he was pitted against such dip
lomats as Metternich, representing
Austria; Castlereagh. the English
plenipotentiary: Stein and William
Won Humboldt, acting for the German
states and Prussia, and Rasumovski
and Pozzo di Borgo, who looked after
Russian interests.
FROM the DaCIlSreld Napoleon SenI
contradictory messages to his agent.
After winning a victory he was jubilant
and instructed C~aulaincourt to remain
firm. Then, when the frightful com
bination of forces again began to close
in on him with deadly and %ferocious
precision, he frantically appealed to
| Caulain~ourt to obtain peace at any
price. The terms Of the allies grew
more exacting as their armies pene-
trated further into France. The Gear
Alexander Of Russia, although not In
attendance at the congress, was near
by. and in his determination t O wipe
out the humiliation Of Moscow by a
triumphal entrance into Paris he OPP
posed all attempts to bring about g
peace. The final proposal, calling fol
a reduction of the empire to the orig
inal limits Of France, was agreed upor
during IL game of whist. The Corsic.
an rejected this offer with scorn, char.
acterizing it as not a proposal but 6
c~apitulation, dishonorable to France
Thus nothing came of the congress
and Napoleon stood at bay against tn

ROBBER
ESCAPED AT RUGBY

Rugby, ". d., Feb. 6.-Joe Humes'
found guilty in district court OF ROB"
berry in the first degree, and who was
in the county Jail awaiting his SEN
tence, walked out the open door of the
Jail and completely vanished, no trace
having been found Of the man.
His partner, Rob Baker, an alleged
accomplice in the silk theft, was clear
ed of the charge to a great extent,
through the generosity OF Humes, who
made a confession following his con-
viction, in which he took all the blame
for the thefts, stating that Baker was
an outside man and he alone did the
actual stealing and store breaking. b..
In the light Of the more recent
event, therefore, it is surmised by the
officials that this pretty scheme was

started. ,.s

Evening Grain letter,

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Wheat: Prices
started sharply higher on the very low
temperatures west. Despite the fact
that snow preceded the cold wav and
protected the plant greatly, sentiment
became bullish and additional buying
by the leading longs resulted In a gain
at the close of % to u. Further sales
to Chicago Of hard wheat were re-
corded but offsetting this was the fact
that seaboard had bought in past few
days literally of this wheat and bids
for more were slightly under the mar
ket. Higher cables and claims of a
stronger foreign situation increased
bull fever considerably. 1t will take
several days to determine whether the
wheat plant has suffered any damage.
Corn-Held strong and steady clos
ing with a gain of nc for the day.
The cold weather and the blizzard
which preceded it expected to increase
consumptive demand and interfere
| with movement. On the opening local
shorts and professionals covered free
ly with offerings light and prices
quickly advanced under this stimulus.
Country advices do not show any in
crease in country movement and farm
: ers even with the advent of cold
weather do not appear anxious to sell
their corn. Until country movement
assumes normal proportions short
sales Of May corn do not appear at
I tractive.
Oats-The news has been more fay.
orable for holders than at any time In
weeks. The cold wave experienced
over night has swept down into Texas
endangering the winter sown oats
which comprised X of their crop. AS
these oats range from jointing tt
headed, 1t Is needless to say that zero
temperatures will have a disastrou:
effect.
