TO PUSH MINNESOTA. APPLES.

The Agricultural Extension Divis-

planning to push the apple growing
industry in Minnesota. The 1913 crop
showed possibilities in development
in apple growing and it is believed
that the crop of 1915 will be as large
as that of 1918, or even larger. The
aim of the Extension Division is to
see that apple growers get the largest
possible returns from the good crop
in prospect. By means of press ar
ticles, circulars, lectures, and demon
strations, growers will be encouraged
to follow the best methods in prun-
ing, spraying, thinning, picking and

TEMPERANCE DAY IN CAVETTS

Temperance Day was appropriately
celebrated last Sunday in the Cavett's

Mrs. Mary O'Keeffe was present,
and made an address, which our cor

Sluss, who is the leading and moving
spirit of this school, made talk on

heretofore to sign the pledge. A mo-

other appropriate songs were render
ed by the school, and good time gen.
orally was had. This is the only re-
port of Temperance Day services re-
ported from the schools in the county.

MORE ABOUT TOLL GATES.

The question of toll gates is being
widely discussed in the county, and it
appears that majority of the peo-
pie favor them. Others oppose, unwil-
ling, they say, to put up barriers to
keep people away from the town and
county. But it is contended that auto
mobilists will not object to paying
small toll, which would be spent
really for their benefit. The same with
farmers and others using the roads.
The roads must be kept in repair, and
somebody must pay the bills. The
taxpayers have paid their money to
build the roads, and they, along with
all others who use the roads, must
keep them in repair. To even things up
a small tax in the shape of toll can be
levied upon everybody alike and equal
ly. 1t is hardly fair, it is stated, for
one party to be taxed for another
party's benefit. The whole matter is,
of course, up to the Board of Super
visors of the county.

WILSON Names
new SECRETARY Y
Former Counselor For The State
Department Will be Premier
in Presidents Official Fam
ily.-Country Satisfied.

Robert Lansing, who, as counselor
of the state department, has advised
President Wilson in law and precedent
i'll the policy pursued by the United
States toward bcligerent govern
ments since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, was named on Wednesday
MS secretary of state to succeed Will
liam jennings Bryan.
Few appointments in recent years
have given such widespread satisfac-
tion in the national capital. Mr.. Ian
sing is lifelong Democrat but has
devoted his time to international law
and diplomacy and is us popular with
former Republican officials as with
his colleagues. Close friends of the
president advised the selection and MIR.
Bryan himself, although not consult
ed, is understood to have hoped for
the promotion of Mr.. Lansing.
One of the peculiar circumstances
in connection with Mr.. Lansing's ap-
pointmcnt is the fact that he per-
sonally has no political backing or
influence. Succeeding William Jen-
nings Bryan, foremost among leaders
of the Democratic party II compara-
lively unknown quantity in the polit-
ical world has been ushered into the
premiership of the cabinet.
This very fact commended itself to
the presidents advisers as n reason
for the appointment of man of Mr..
Lansing's experience and ability, the
argument being advanced that at so
critical time in the nations history
the people of the United States wished
all political considerations subordinat-
ed.
Mr.. Lansing is graduate of Am
herst College, is fifty-one years old,
and is descended from the family of
John Lansing of New York, who rep
resented that state in the constitution
nj convention of 1887 at Philadelphia,
and later was Chancellor of the state
of New York. After graduation, Mr..
Lansing entered the profession of his
ancestors, the law, and continued in
private practice except when retained
by the American government or for
cign nations in important cases.
For number of years he has been
closely associated with the officials at
Washington, and his diplomatic cx-
perience is wide, not, however, being
confined to the United States alone,
as his services have often been requir-
by European nations.
Mr.. Lansing's successor as coun-
selor of the state department has not
as yet been selected, and it is very
probable that the president will leave
this selection to Mr.. Lansing himself

This paper had brief notice in

which was being harvested. What the
party saw was Il surprise and de-

needed no further proof that this
splendid grass can be successfully
grown in this county, but found it not
an easy matter to convince the doubt

it tried on a regular farm, in regu-

The trouble is, to get a stand. IL

all, not more so than any other fine
crop. Henry Bowen sowed this alfalfa
on land that had grown crop of

double plows, the land thoroughly null

lbs. of good seed per acre sown. and
that was all. No cred tape" no inocu-
