Demand for Professors Sery-
ices-To Instruct Farmers.

merly of the University Of Minnesota
who is lecturing in the northwest on
live stock for the First National bank,

in the Northwest.
On his first trip Professor Smith

ton. s. D., and Beardsley, MINI. He
addressed large gathering of farmers
and business men in Hastings.
Professor Smith will go to Browns
Valley and Kenyon. He will be at
Sleepy Eye Saturday.
Professor Smith Will meet the bank
ers in the vicinity OF Hannaford, N. D.,
March 10, and the remaining days OF
the week will instruct the farmers
there on how to raise, iced and finance
live stock.
Services In Demand.
So urgent is the demand for Pro-
lessor Smiths services that speaking
dates have been arranged for him as
then.
THE country banker is more than
a BANKER" said Professor Smith, "for
he is the adviser of the farmers. 1t
Is hard to tell whether the bankers or
the farmers are the more interested
in the live stock developments. Great
benefit is bound to be derived from
Mr.. Hills plan and as direct result
of it, there will be many new herds
of breeding stock in the Northwest
before the end of the year.
More corn will be grown than ever
before and farmers and bankers have
come to realize what live stock means
to them. The Northwest will be prob
ably the great live stock section in the
world.
Il have an invitation to address all
the group meetings of the Bankers
association of North Dakota this year
so it can easily been seen what enthus,
iasm and interest already has been
created"
Professor Smith is preparing sew
eral magazine articles which have
been requested from the east and the
west.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
ST. PAUL MAN KILLED IN WAR
Gordon Travis Dies Fighting for Eng
Iish--EnIisted With Canadian
Troops at Regina.

St. Paul.-Gordon Travis, 25 years
old, son of Mrs. Edith F. Travis, 253
Baker street, is the first st. Paul man
to meet death on the battlefields of
Europe. A brief cablegram, which
came to Rev. A. G. Pinkham, rector of
the Episcopal Church of the Ascension,
brought the news of his death. The
manner, place or date was not given
Young Travis, who spent most of
the last years of his life with his
aunt, Mrs. w. M. Graham, in Regina,
Sask., Can, enlisted in Company No.
2, Fifth battalion, second brigade of
the First Canadian contingent, and
landed in the war zone only q short
time ago.
The message was received by his
sister, Mrs. Gordon Graham of Winni-
peg, and was forwarded to Rev. Mr..
Pinkham, who carried the word to the
young mans mother.
His mother received a letter from
him Friday dated February Is, and
written on board the transport which
carried the contingent from Salisbury
Plain to the continent.
Ctjn't Know Destination.
In 1t he told Of being in sight of a
very pretty port, and said he had been
told that there is where they are to
land, although he said that he did not
know where it was, owing to the Sc
crecy with which the movements of
the troops are safeguarded.
He wrote of meeting some old
friends of the family, whom he visited
while on leave from the barracks, and
facetiously remarked that he would
not mind getting slightly wounded so
he could go back and enjoy their hos
pitality again.
Before enlisting in the army Mr..
Travis had been employed In the Bank
of Montreal and also in the realty
business at Winnipeg and Regina.
Young Travis father died when he
was small and he had lived with his
aunt in Canada most of his life, spend
ing little time in St. Paul. Besides
his mother and Mrs. Graham he is
survived by three brothers, w. S., A.
E., and P. S. Travis, and sister, Miss
Mabel Travis, all of ST. Paul

The general was distributing medals
for special valor. Summoning Private
Bumptious to step forward, much to
the general surprise of the ranks, he
Numbered out:
Men, look upon this hero, and imi-

long night he stood firm at his sen
tinel's post, although completely sur
rounded by the enemy. and there he
remained calmly"
Private Bumptious turned deadly
pale. But before he fell in faint to
the ground, he gasped out:
Then they were enemies! thought
they were our own troops"

TOWN HAS WOMAN POLICEMAN
Hutchinson City Council Appoints
Female Guardian of the Peace
Will Chaperone Dances

Observation-Disclosures has the
distinction OF being the only town in
Minnesota aside from the large cities
that has a woman policeman. Mrs.
Florence Clement, wife of John Gle.
ment, a well known citizen, has been
appointed to that position by the city
council and has been sworn in and
wears policemans star.
The appointment does not signify
that social conditions in Hutchinson,
a town of splendid schools and numer-
Gus churches, are in any particular
need of such an official, but the coun-
Gil has observed that at public dances
and celebrations where many unchap-
eroned young people assemble, there
is often need of woman vested with
authority to give counsel and direct
with friendly but firm hand.
This Mrs. Clement will do, it is said,
and more, if occasion requires, for she
has the courage to arrest the biggest
bully running loose.

farmers WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor. than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided sure future. They have COM
Portable homes and all their surround
ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1903 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought quarter sec,
