SET new RECORD
MINNESOTA is OBJECTIVE OF

SHOWN AT TRANSFER
THOUSANDSWILL COMfYEARLY
NEW RESIDENTS FROM FARM
ING SECTIONS OF ILLINOIS,
INDIANA AND IOWA

Ten thousand and more sturdy cit
liens are coming into Minnesota each
year and are settling in the farming
communities.
Each year Minnesota brings its av-
erage of immigrant movables to a
higher percentage of the total number
OF carloads received, according to fig
ures compiled by Fred d. Sherman,
immigration commissioner. The NOV
ables are handled at the Minnesota
Transfer for the Northwest States
and reports are made each month to
the immigration department.
The department has revealed that
in 1918 a total of $500 cars filled
with the belongings of newcomers
were received at the transfer. The
cars of horses, bedding, farm imple-
ments, household goods or mixtures,
destined for Minnesota points num-
bered 2,343. The percentage of the
total cars Minnesota received that
year was % per cent.
In 1914, 5,277 families in other
states decided to remove to the. fine
farming lands of the Northwest, and
Minnesota received as its share 1850
cars of movables or A per cent.
This increase has been beaten by a
good margin in the first ten months OF
this year. In total of 3,848 cars OF
movables handled at the transfer thus
far, Minnesota was the objective OF
2,053, or So per cent of the cars des-
tined for places in the Northwest.
Most of the immigrants are from
high-priced farming land districts OF
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. They flow
into the state in a continuous stream
which swells to it's broadest proper
lions in the spring.

There is legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves of the tree Immediately shriv-
.eled into needle points and it's bright
green turned dark. The nature of the
tree changed, and it became an ever
green, in all seasons preaching the
story of mans fall through that first
act of disobedience Only on Christ
mas does 1t bloom brightly with lights
and become beautiful with love gifts.
The curse is turned into a blessing by
the coming of the Christ Child, and
thus we have our Christmas tree.
The visits of St Nicholas to the
homes of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out of a
festival in honor of Hertha, Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens, and
an altar of stone was set up at the
end of the hall where the family as
sembled. From Hertha's stone we get
our word "hearthstone." On the
stones so set up were heaped fir
branches. which were set afire, and
through the smoke and fame Hertha
was supposed to descend and influence
the direction of the flames. from which
were predicted the fortunes Of those
present.

My little child comes to my knee
And, tuggipg, pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale beloved SO we'll
A tale my mother told me,
Beginning "Once upon a time"
1t is a tale Of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
OF that great host, serene and white,
The shepherds saw one wintry night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time. -
This story of the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
OF one who prayed alone and wept
While his wearied followers slept
And how his blood and Mary's tears
Commingled, once upon a time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back to me,
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And Of the gentle Christ who died
For sinners once upon time
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones of fluent rime
Like misty shadows fade away,
But this sweet story bides for aye
And, like the stars that sang Of old.
We sing Of "Once upon time"

STANDING TIMBER.
Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-
tents In Board Feet.

Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-
tents In Board Feet.
The contents of trees in board feet
is usually figured by Doyle's rule. This
rule is to deduct four inches from the
small diameter of the log for slab,
squaring enc quarter of the remainder
and multiplying the results by the
length of the log, in feet For example,
to find the contents of a twelve foot
log twenty-four inches in diameter dn-
side the bark at the small end-24
inches minus inches equal 20 inches;
20 inches by "a equal inches; 5 by 5
by II equal 300 board feet
Perhaps an easier way to get at the
same result is to state the rule as fol-
lows: From sixteen foot log deduct
four inches for slab and square the
remainder For longer or shorter logs
the contents would be proportional to
the length. In the above case 1t would
be worked out thus: "a minus equals
20, 20 by 20 equals 400, for sixteen
foot log. But a twelve foot log is
twelve-sixteeRths or three-quarters as
long as a sixteen foot log: therefore
this log contains threa-quarters of 400
board feet. or 800 board feet. If the
log were twenty feet long 1t would
contain one and one-quarter times 400
feet. or 800 feet.
A common way of estimating stand
ing timber is to estimate the length
and the top and bottom diameters and
apply Doyle's rule. using the average
of both diameters and the whole
length of the tree. Rural New Yorker.

Eskimos Taboo Common Towel

The gospel of hygiene and sanitation is being
spread broadcast throughout the world. Time
was when only the elite were shining opponents
now the message has gone even to the Eskinos.
According to the last report of the United States
Public Health Service, teachers, doctors and Off
GERS of the Public Health Service visit the var
ious communities and teach both natives and
whites the methods by which tuberculosis, eye
diseases and other common ailments are spread,
and the way in which they may be prevented
This propaganda has resulted in the abolition of
the roller towel and the common drinking cup by
the natives in general. The report says this re-
form has spread as far as Point Barrow the most
northerly point in North America.
The report sets out that the natives are being
taught how to make war on disease and that the
results are apparent. The mortality rate is be-
ginning to fall among the northern natives and
their general health is improving.
This offers food for reflection. If the natives
of the North take kindly to health reforms, why
should not an educated community such as Rich
mond u.s. make systematic warfare on tubercu-
losis, which exacts frightfu toll of human lives
each year? Why cannot its citizens, guided and
directed by the Health Surveys expert, make
