The rural life conference, to open

terest than the conference Of last

from rural clergymen, educators,
bankers, farmers club presidents,
and others. AS result of the varied
attendance the discussions are likely
to bring out valuable points of view.
"These conferences" says Dean A.
F. Woods, of the Minnesota College of
Agriculture, "are big with possibili?:
ties and should exercise large in
f1uence in the development of Min
nesota's rural life. AS their value
becomes better known, they should
bring together annually all classes
Of men and women holding positions
of leadership in town and country.
Such getting-together would be Of
inestimable value" =
The program of the first day Of the
conference includes several features
of special interest. Among these
will. be an address of welcome by
Dean Woods, which will review con-
ditions in the state and point out the

The Value of Social Life.

Bemidji has won wide recognition
as q progressive, enterprising, beauti-
full, healthful and attractive little
city. 1t is now to gain added fame
as one of the Northwest's leading
summer resorts. But even with the
business men at all times working in
an effort to aid the city's steady
growth and to take advantage of the
many opportunities which point, to-
wards prosperity it must not be for
gotten that the social life of a COM
munity has much to do with itss at
tractiveness as place of abode.
Visitors are always accorded a
tsmest cordial welcome in coming to
s5Bemidji, in fact in this respect this
city, has but few equals. Our visitors
like Bemidji, and they are always
anxious to return. But do our young
'-people.play their part?
If there is always "something do
Ing" plenty of variety, outdoor sports
and indoors gatherings, home be-
comes real home and there is little
incentive for young men to stray, in
stoaforeign fields. The home town is
attractive to them and they become
solid citizens, and as time progresses
they do their utmost to improve local
5conditions. The, population increases
and prosperity moves steadily on
ward.
But, when the town is dull,- life is
thessame humdrum: day. by day., and
social gatherings. are few and slow,
sthe hilbbling spirit of youth demands

the larger cities. .

HORSES IN WARFARE
Animals Carefully Trained for
the Service.
Perfect Understanding Established Be
tween Rider and Steed Before
They Are Allowed 20 Enter
Into Active Operations.

The almost human instinct possessed
by trained cavalry and artillery horses
provides a striking illustration 90
equine intelligence. They understand
the words OF command quite as we'll
as their riders and drivers and will
answer TO the regular calls in the most
perfect manner. One has only TO
watch cavalry executing turning
movement TO realize how perfect the
understanding is between the horses
and the men. and after a few lessons
in charging the horses will prick up
their ears the moment they hear the
word and throw themselves into the
rush as whole-heartedly as the riders.
OF course the animals have TO go
through a strict course OF training be
fore they reach this pitch OF perfec-
ton. AS a rule. they are bought as
raw colts. and after the preliminary
breaking in-getting used to bit. saddle
and rider-they are taught to jump
and lie down When this part OF the
training is satisfactorily accomplished
the horse is taught TO halt sharply at
the word of command. To pull up in
its own length. even when galloping.
and TO walk. trot and gallop in line
This last is a very essential part of
his education. because when a charge
is ordered in battle it is essential tfai
all the horses should be kept in A
mass.
A very important part OF the train
ing is 10 teach a horse TO stand fire
AT first the horses are terrified when
they hear the thunder OF artillery and
the crack of rifles. They get restless
and "whinny" with fright After hav-
