Work of Glaciers
In Minnesota
E. nj. Lehnerts of State Univer-
sity Gives Account of Geo]Ogi-
cal History of State

About twenty thousand years
ago, only yesterday in the geo.
logical record of time, vast ice
fields came down from the north
and covered every part of Min
nesota except the extreme south
east corner. These glaciers
brought large quantities of rock
and soil, mixed the imported ma
terials with the local rocks and
soils of Minnesota, ground the
mixture into particles more or
less fine, and deposited a great
mantle of glacial drift varying
widely in thickness, arrangement
and composition.
North of Lake Superior, the
drift over some areas is thin. It's
average depth is probably less
than SO feet. But in the west
ern four-fifths of the State the
drift is from 100 to $50 feet in
thickness, and the bedrock is al
most everywhere completely con-
cealed.
Terminal MOraines
Along the front of the ice
fields, whenever the glaciers
temporarily halted, great guam

Of the legislation completed has
been of an unimportant charac-
ter, on one side, or of very
bizarre character on the other.
But the real record of the ses-
sion is yet to be made. Most of
the important measures are yet
to be disposed of. Of these there
are many that are constructive
and a few that are destructive.

rain water and to help regulate
stream flow. Likewise, the great
mantle of drift itself served as
a vast reservoir, absorbing and
holding the rain water for the
gradual supply of wells and
springs. And lastly, and most
important of all, the soils of
Minnesota were diversified,
deepened and enriched.
Brought Freight of Fertility
When the ice fields crossed
Manitoba, Ontario and Wiscon-
sin, they picked up the soils,
rocks and minerals of those reg
ions and transported them into
Minnesota, thus adding great
quantities and varieties of min
eral plant foods to lands already
rich in soil fertility. Instead Of
originating from any single kind
of rock, Minnesota's soils were
made by the pulverizing of a
great variety of rocks. This is
the reason why the farm lands
of Minnesota are unsurpassed in
fertility by those of any other
state or country in the world.
In the extreme southeastern
portion Of the State, especially
in Houson, Fillmore and Winona
counties, there lies beautiful
and picturesque region cut by
numerous deep valleys with
winding streams, steep lock,
bluffs and turreted cliffs. This
is a part of the Driftless Area,
so called because it was left I'M
touched by the ice fiels of the
glacial period. Here the prevail
ing soil is clayey loan, light
yellow or rusty in color, and con-
sisting of fine dust-lifle particles.
This is a loose loan of great fer
tility whose origin has not been
definitely determined. It may
have been a rock-flour manufac-
tured by the glacial grinding
and distributed by the winds of
those times over the adjacent
driftless region.
Ancient Lake Agassiz
In the Red River Valley lies
the great lake-bottom plain of
ancient Lake Agassiz. Towards
the close of the glacial period,
about ten thousand years ago,
the retreating ice field served as
a dam across the valley and
blocked the northward drainage
of the streams. AS the ice wall
retreated to the north, the lake
increased in size until finally it
found an open outlet into Hud-
son Bay. It was truly great
lake, since it's area, 10000

titles of drift were piled up into
ridges, knobs and hills, forming
belts of rough lands called term
inal moraines. These ridges and
hills commonly range from 25
to Is feet in height. But they
occasionally attain much greater
attitudes, as in the Leaf Hills of
Ottertail County, which rise
from 100 to $50 feet above the
surrounding country. Most of
the rough lands in the State,
and most of the hills, except in
the northeastern and southeast
ern corners, had their origin in
glacial times. They are termi-
nal moraines of the Great Ice
Age.
On the whole, glaciation bene-
flied Minnesota. Hills were worn
down and valleys filled; and, al
though the surface was rough
ened here and there by morainic
hills and ridges, the general lev
ell of the State was made some
what more uniform. Thus the
arabic acreage was increased,
and the construction of wagon
roads and railroads made easier.
Bed rock was left exposed in
places to furnish valuable build
ing stones. Clay, sand and gravel
were deposited for the manufac-
ture of brick, tile and concrete.
Hundreds of waterfalls and thou
sands of lakes were formed. CIV

square miles, exceeds the COM
bined areas of the five Great
Lakes of the St. Lawrence sys-
tenn of today.
At first, Lake AgassI over
flowed the divide at the southern
end of Lake Traverse and dis
charged it's waters through the
present valley of the Minnesota.
The river of that time has been
called the glacial River Warren.
1t was powerful stream of
great volume, and it widened
and deepende it's bed and made
room for the fertile, flood plains
for which the Minnesota River
Valley of today is noted.
Gradually and by stages, first
the southern outlet at Browns
Valley and later the northern
outlet into Hudson Bay cut
themselves deeper, and the lake
waters sank from level to level.
At each halt, beaches were
formed by the shore currents
and by the waves breaking
against the land. These beaches
are today rounded ridges Of
gravel and sand, a few feet high
and about two rods wide, extend
ing great distances along the
ancient shorelines of the lake.
They furnish slightly locations
for many farm homes, and give
to farmers dry cellars and good
wells of pure water. They like
wise furnish excellent road beds
for some of the states best
highways.
Lake Bed Worlds Bread Basket
Large quantities Of silt and
soil were washed into Lake
Agassiz from the melting glac-
iers. These materials were as
sorted and distributed by the
waters Of the lake and were de-
posted in it's bed. Later, when
the lakes waters had subsidized,
luXuriant grasses covered the
former lake bed, and, in time,
furnished food for countless
herds of buffalo. It was during
those times that vegetable hui
mus and abundant organic mat
ter was added to the fine lake
sediments already rich in varied
mineral plant foods. Thus were
formed the fertile soils OF the
Red River Valley which have
earned for that region the title
of "the Bread Basket of the
World"

A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT.

! An interesting demonstration was
recently given in one Of the large
eastern cities OF the new SUMO
light" owned and used by Mr.. w. l..
Swain, to illuminate his huge tented
theatre.
The .Sun-O-Light'' derives Its
name from the fact that it is evolved
from the self-same source as the
natural sunlight, viz: carbon, hidrc-
gen and oxygen in combustion and ).
in consequence, diffuses brilliance
of the same penetration and balance
as the sun.
For many years Mr.. Swain, Of the
w. /. Swain Show Co., known to be
the Oldest, biggest, best equipped and
most fayorabiy known show CT its,
kind in. America, has made a study
Of the vexed question Of producing
a light independent Of local electric
plants (Which are frequently over
taxed and therefore not dependable
when extra demand is made).
The electric, or mercurial light,
even at its best and supplied with
adequate power of generation, dis
penses blush or violet rays and not
Of sufficient penetration.
For such stage effects as morn
ing, . evening cleaning" dawn =
ETC., vari-ca.ored globes are employed
to assist the electric light in shedding
radiance as near like the genuine
as possible.

0ring is unnecessary, the simple turn

sLIDELL HIGH SCHOOL.

We are glad to say that the pupils
who have been sick and absent from
school are able to be back again.
For several weeks there has been
quite number of vacant seats In
each room, but the rooms are begin
ming to be crowded again.
Ex-Gov. ]. Y. Sanders will deliver
the annual address at the commence

81, 1915. !.
The play, Diamonds and Hearts, :
given by the slidell School Improve
ment League, Friday, March 26th,
proved great success. A very neat
sum was realized.
The Slidell High School Band has
been engaged to play Saturday night
at the Airdome Theatre, during the
production Of the picture, Runaway
June"
Misses Baker and Bryson were New
Orleans visitors last Saturday.
A great interest is aroused in the
different rooms in regard to libra
ry. Several of-the rooms have the
money raised already, ana the others
are using various methods to obtain
it. The two first grades are going
to give a benefit picture show at
the Clio Theatre next week. The
sixth grade will sell candy and pea
nuts on that night. The third and
fourth grades will give peanut
hunt" Thursday afternoon for the
benefit of their library. In q few
weeks we expect to see a first class
library in each room.
Last Friday was Spelling Day,
and quite lot of interest and en-
thusiasm was shown among the
teachers and pupils on that day. The
pupils had been working hard with
the words for several weeks. and
they deserve great deal of credit
for the average made. Those max
ing 100 per cent in the contest were:
