CREATED A PANIC
Paynesville Man Declared That He
Had a Bad Attack of the
New Disease.

Minneapolis, Jan. 1S.-"I've got
anphylaxsis," announced Magnus
Amor of Paynesville as he entered
the marriage license bureau today.
There was scattering of the half
dozen prospective brides and bride
grooms, who feared infection from
the terrible malady, whatever is was,
but Magnus only smiled and the smile
became as infectious as the anaphy-
laxsis.
"You see my case has been dag
nosed by telegraph from Chicago"
Magnus explained. "No less a person
than DR.. Richard J. Tivnen made the
diagnosis. 1 am in the same class as
DR.. John F.. Golden, chief of DR.. J. B.
Murphy's staff, who is to be married
next week, and whose friends gave
him the gridiron eugenic X-ray at a
banquet.
Anaphaylaxis is a condition of
lack of resistance DIR. Tivnen said,
and when women are in question men
are in chronic condition of anaphy-
laxsis. Love, like measles creates a
condition of future immunity out fall
ling in love is more serious, and is
properly diagnosed as anaphlaxsis,
and that is some Sickness"
CDR" Clarence Williams, clerk in
charge, prescribed marriage license
and Magnus went away with a smile.
He said he would return.

POPULAR ILLUSIONS,

A somewhat popular illusion exists
that because certain breed of cows
give milk of medium or low fat test
therefore they are not large cream or
butterfat producers, when in fact all
recent history shows that breed to be
by far the largest butterfat producer
of any of the breeds.
In the Wisconsin COW competition of
whose fairness no one complains, 1853
Holstein cows and 157 Guernseys, 80
Jerseys and some grade cows Compel
ed for prizes awarded for yearly pro-
auctions. These cows were in the
hands of experienced breeders scat
tered quite widely over our state and
supposedly all were fed to do their
best. The average production for the
Holstein was 500 pounds of butter fat;
421 for the Guernseys and 1853 for the
Jerseys. The net returns after feed
were $73, $50 and $50 respectfully for
the three breeds mentioned.
For given amount of feed con-
sumed the net returns from the large,
vigorous Holstein breed is in excess
of either of the small breeds, thereby
establishing their supremacy as the
most economical producers as we'll as
the breed giving the largest net re-
turns.
Comparing the grade cows, it is
found that the grade Holsteins pro-
duce on an average $50 pounds of but
ter, the grade Guernseys $50 pounds
and the Jerseys 426 pounds.
It seems a singular incide mt that the
lead of 100 pounds of butter that the
grade Holsteins have over their COM
petitors is almost identical with that
made by the pure bred cows, and 100
pounds of butter is big, big lead. In
common language it might be spoken
of as walk away.
What better way is there for farm
ers to dispose of their skim milk, oats
barley, clover hay, alfalfa and silage
than in rearing some fine dairy stock?
There are plenty of registered, well
bred sires of the different breeds in
the country, so all our dairymen can
avail themselves il, they will, of oppor-
tunities to grade up their herds. Good
grade cows are worth nearly as much
as good horses and stockgrowing is a
much easier system of farming than
the selling off of grain and hay crops.
One enriches the soil and its owner;
the latter is system of fertility
wasting, of putting in practice of the
verse in the Bible which says, "Let US
eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow
we die" or the more recent version of
the same thought expressed by one of
our noted men in "Let the people be
damned" Geo. F. Comings, Eau

der this law the board cannot receive
money from individuals sending the
child to school, but the district in
which the child resides must pay. The
school officers have taken ali oath of
office to abide by and enforce the laws
regulating the educational affairs of
the state. The business of the law is
debatable one, but the law is there
there's the rub. AS the Herald views
the matter there is no alternative for
the board. They must do either one or
two things-enforce the law or run a
strong chance of having some dissat-
isfied taxpayer in the district prefer
charges against them for malfesance
in office.
The Herald does not criticize the
districts affected for being put out
over the matter, but the thing to do
to remedy existing conditions is to
have the law amended SO thatthe in
dividual instead of the district should
pay the tuition. 1t should be speedily
attended to. A bill introduced early
in the session of the legislature stands
a much better chance of passage than
one delayed until the first or the mid
die of March. Many meritorious meas
ures are smothered in the last days of
the legislature.
There is a rumor current in some
quarters that the business men of
Sank Centre are arrayed against the
farmers in this matter. Nothing could
be farther from the facts in the case.
The business men realize full well
that they have much in common with
the tiller of the soil and that anything
affecting their welfare is bound to re-
act on the city and it's material well
fare.
In the last analysis it is a condition,
not a theory that the local board is
up against. The law was not placed
on the statute books by them, and it
cannot be evaded. In the remedying
of conditions the Herald is quite con-
WINGED that the Sank Centre citizens
will give the farmers what assistance
they can.
In this Connection the Herald under
stands that the educational commits
sion authorized by the legislature of
two years ago for the purpose of re-
organizing the educational system of
the state have taken up this feature
in their report and that they will
cause bill to be introduced which will
change this very Objectionable manner
of collecting tuition.
The prosperity of both town and
country demands that the farmer and
business man work hand in hand.
Their interests are identical.-A. M.

Of course during the legislative ses-

costs snug sum, but we are con-
WINGED that the feature will justify
the expenditure as one of the means
of keeping the Herald to the front of
the rural weeklies of this great state.

NEEDS OF THE HOME SCHOOL

The Board of Control and Mrs. L.
F., Morse, matron of the Minnesota
Home School for Girls, Sank Centre.
have prepared the budget of the needs
of the institution for the next bien-
NAL period. The total amount asked
for maintenance and improvements
for the coming two years is $27S,S5O
Over half of this amount is for need
ed improvements.
The Minnesota Home School fol-
girls is attracting nation wide atten-
ton and the system inaugurated by
Mrs. Morse is generally Endorsed by
those who have made a careful study
of the care of delinquent girls. In the
Minnesota institution the Home life
of the girls is made as healthful, prac-
tical and happy as is possible. The
girls are taught the practical work Of
home making and each has her owl
responsibility in caring for the home
of which she is an active part. The
privileges she enjoys are entirely
within her own keeping. If she is
amenable to the honor system of dis
cipline she will find much joy in liv-
ing and will be greatly benefited fol-
the life of wife, mother and home
maker after leaving the institution.
The institution at Sank Centre is
still in the making. The site is ad-
mirablv located on the shores of d
beautiful lake, but it cannot be COM
r'eted in day or year. The popula-
ton at the school grows each month
and more room is constantly needed
to properly house the girls. Two new
cottages ordered nv the LEGISLATURE 9
years ago are filled TO overflowinp
and more land is needed to carry out
the practical plan Mrs. Morse has in
mind for WIDENING of the scope and
efficiency of the School.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are being spent each year for the re-
claiming of waste lands of the state
This is right and Droper Tt certainly
more essential that the institutions for
the retaining of the delinouent girl
should be treated literally nv the leg
islature, and the Herald believes that
the lawmakers will take this view Of
the situation.
Anv legislative committee or BODY
of citizens who will carefully investi-
gate the work ACCOMPLISHED. the heal
thy environment, the simple life. and
the practical experiences gained by
the girls, cannot HELM but marvel at
the work ACCOMPLISHED by Mrs. Morse
and her corps of assistants, under the
guiding hand of the Board of Control
with somewhat Inadequate facilities
in the few wears since the school was
located at Sank Centre. The plant is
new and in the very nature of things
the outlay will necessarily be quite
heavy for several years to come.
The Home School will ask the leg
islature for the needed appropriations
solely upon the merit of the work ac-
complished and the necessity of future
development.-A.M M. W.

Early Trails.

Long before the white mans era
dawned in the region now called Min
nesota, even long before the Red Man
had tracked the forests and prairies
into a network of trails and piled his
busy paddle on almost countless lakes
and streams, the Mound Builder was
constructing his curiously interesting
earthworks and was making his path
ways to and from his home and hunt
ing grounds.
The mounds of Minnesota contain
considerable quantities of pipestone
implements, shell ornaments and cop
per implements and ornaments. For
the pipestone it was necessary to jour-
ney to the southwest corner of the
state. Some of the shells found in
the Mckinstry mounds. Itasca county,
belong to the general Natica and Mar
ginella, and most have been brought
from the Gulf of Mexico or the coast
of California. But the most interest
ing suggestion concerning the trans
portation of materials buried in the
mounds of Minnesota is found in the
copper utensils and ornaments. Stray
pieces of copper found in the glacial
drift doubtless furnished the mound
builders with some of their material
but there is evidence that these early
people early learned to extract the
metal from the Lake Superior copper
deposits. Therefore, journeys had to
be made over trail and waterway to
northern Michigan. 1t is more than
probable that these aboriginies, in
their migrations and in their quest for
food fur, pipestone, copper and other
desired materials, became the origin
al trail-seekers in Minnesota, and
these prehistoric people in measure
prepared the paths for the historic
Red Men.
Nor were the Red Men alone in
their time in the making of trails and
pathways. They were given no little
assistance during the warmer months
of the year by the heavy-hoofed
American buffaloes.
These animals, in migrating from one
region to another and in going from
their ranges to their wallowing
grounds, passed in single file and
made deep tracks or paths which the
Indians often used as trails, especially
when their objective point lay in the
same direction as the buffalo's wal
lowing or feeding ground.
Roth tho TpJ;on orl l,Holo
trails, generally followed the high
ground because it usually provided the
most even and direct course, was bet
ter drained, safer from fire, less
blocked by winter SHOWS, and the ele-
vations, for the Indian, were vantage
points for lookout and signaling. If
trails turned into low ground and eros
sed streams, it was owing to the fact
that the valleys could not be avoided
in reaching the desired destinations.
The requirements of the typical In
dian are we'll illustrated in the old
Lake Agassiz or Pembina trail, or as
it was called in the days of the Red
River carts, the St. Paul trail. 1t was
known as the Lake Agassiz trail be-
caused it followed beach ridge along
the east shore of Lake Agassiz which,
during part of the glacial period,
covered most of the Red River basin.
When this lake ceased to exist, its
level and fertile bed furnished excel
lent grazing grounds for the buffalo,
and its slightly elevated beach ridges
made by the waves and currents along
its ancient shores offered ideal ground

story the fellow had a chance to nerve
himself to the task which he had al
ready attempted times without num-
Der. Just before the lights went out
he blurted out: When the lights fade
l am going to kiss you. Will you call
for help?" To which the girl replied,
"No, not if you think you can manage
it alone" Just then the darkness hid
his bushes.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

The question of compelling outside
districts to pay tuition for children at
tending the Sank Centre school is
causing some trouble and dissatisfac-
ton among the farmers living in the
districts affected, of which there are
% in number.

ministrators of "a state law enacted by
the Minnesota legislature. The aggre-

convicted of white slavery, and did
not tell the club women of st. Paul.
MIR. Vasaly has probably learned as a
result that it might be well to make
public the parole of any character as
notorious as was McNabb. OF the
other paroled prisoners, it can be said
that they are better off without the
publicity.

fare Of their children. They wonder
if this great new toy will benefit Will
lie or Mary and make either Of them
more competent to meet the Bullets
of the world.
If better teachers make for better
pupils and they surely should do so,
then the commission aims to help
Willie and Mary. Under the COM
mission plan aid would be apportioned
partly on the basis of teachers salar-
les. No school employing teachers at
less than $400 year would be allow
ed state aid under this plan. Attend
ance is another feature that will en-
ter into the apportionment of state
aid if the commissions plan goes
through. Half of it would be distrib-
uted on a basis of 100 days attend
ance instead of 40 as at present.
The public utilities question, over
which so much discussion was stirred
up in the state in the fall of 1918,
when former Governor Eberhart re-
called his suggestion that a special
| legislative session convene, is in the
fire at the present session. The Nolan
bill, sponsored by Senator w. A.
Campbell Of Minneapolis, was drop
ped into the Senate hopper last week.
1t looks like the important measures
were being got under way early, does
it not?
When the governor in October 1913
decided against calling a special SEES
sion, it was thought the public util-
tiles question would be a big issue in
the last general election campaign
But there was little heard of the
measure at that time. 1t is now up to
the solons to reflect the will Of the
people by heir vote on such measures
as the Nolan bill. A bystander was
heard to remark last week that the
state control of public utilities has
about as much chance of passing as
one armed man has of hammering his
thumb.
If you are seeker after state
lands, here's. your chance.
This year ]. A. o. Preus, state aud
itor, will place on sale $4,000 acres
of land in Koochiching, Beltrami,
Cass, Roseau, Aitkin, St. Louis and
ltasca counties. The average prices
paid for state lands in the last four
years follow: 1911, Sc. rs; 1912, $6.46
1913, $7.39 and 1914, $7.25. The
sales will be held each month begin
ming in March and ending in Novem-
Der.
The northern part of the state is
probably overjoyed to think that H.
A. Rider has been deposed as execu-
tive agent of the Game and Fish
Commission by Carlos Avery of
Hutchinson. Former Gov. Eberhart
stuck to Rider and re-appointed him
in spite of opposition 1t was charg-
ed that Rider would not listen to the
pleadings of the sportsmen's clubs
for consideration by the commission.
Well, they have not rid themselves
altogether of Mr.. Rider. He is still
on the commission. 1t was expected
that he would resign upon being
dropped from office, but Harry refus-
ed to desert the ship.
