An Appropriate Gift.

When you cannot find the right
kind of a Christmas gift to send to
your friend who resides out Of town,
we suggest that you send them a
years subscription to the Sheaf. In
all modesty we can truthfully say
that there are many who appreciate
and enjoy it fully as much as they
would some token that would cost
many times more than the paper.
Take, for instance, your friends or
relatives in distant state who once
lived in or near Warren and who re-.
tain a fondness for old acquaintances.
Don't you think they would find much
satisfaction and get a great deal of
pleasure out of reading copy of the
Sheaf once a week during the coming
year? And wouldn't they, be CRATE
full to the person who was thoughtful
enought to send them the paper?
J. # you want to make a gift that
will be enjoyed during the entire.
twelve months Of the year, a sub sub
scription to the Sheaf is the thing.
And then, too, it is not expensive.

The "Bemidje Game Refuge" is the

new law passed last winter. This
was established by order Of the COM
missioner after a public hearing at
Bemidji on August "a, 1915. No OBJ
lection was raised at the hearing to
the establishment of the refuge, ex-.
cept that it was not large enough,
and petitions have been since re-.
ceived to enlarge it's boundaries. AS
originally established the refuge in
cludes twenty sections of land and
water, embracing the north end Of
Lake Bemidji. The people residing
in the district have formed an organi-
zation for the purpose Of securing
enforcement of the regulations and
have posted signs marking it's bound

A Merry Christmas!

At this joyous time of the year,
the Sheaf desires to extend the greet
ings of the season to all it's readers.
patrons and friends. Merry Christ
mas, to you all! May the coming
Yule-tide be the brightest, the best
and the happiest that has ever been
experienced in the lives Of each and
every one. May good cheer, the JOY
that comes from the communion OF
friends and loved ones, and that peace
which surpasses understanding, abide
in every heart.
Providence has dealt kindly with
the people of this community, this
state and the nation, during the year
now drawing to a close. We have
been spared the horrors of war
which are now devasting Europe,
The husband-man has been permitted
to cultivate his fields and harvest his
crops without risk Of having them
tramped down by marching armies.
Abundant yields have crowned the
efforts of the farmers and the prices
on all agricultural products have, in
the main, been satisfactory. There is
more general prosperity in the Red
River Valley now than ever before.
Christmas is prominently the fes-
tival of the home. At Christmas
time every dweller away from home,
tries to visit again the dear spot and
gather with loved ones around the
family Christmas tree. The sweetest
memories of life cluster around the
celebrations Of Christmas in the
home. To the children the Christmas
festival is always an event that is
looked forward to with ecstacy Of
joy. May only pleasant memories be
associated with the Christmas of
1915.
Christmas is the season for gifts.
The value of a gift does not always
depend upon it's intrinsic money val
ue, but upon the spirit in which it is
given. The most beautiful gifts are
the ones that are given to the poor,
the sick and needy. If any such
there be in our respective communi-
ties, let the coming Christmas not
pass away without remembering
them. A kind deed is pleasing in the
sight of the Lord. Let us scatter
sunshine while we may. By so doing
we will show that we have grasped
the true Christmas spirit.

Farmstead Improvement.

The size Of farm business is not
necessarily measured or limited by
the number of acres in farm. One
of the field men of the department.,
engaged in farm survey work, re-
ports the case Of Wisconsin farmer,
so situated as to make it impossible
for him to buy or rent land, who SOL
we'd the problem of small acreage by
speeding up the 80 acres that he
had.
This farmers first move was to
dispose of his scrub cows and to re-
place them with grades and pure
breds; next, without great expense,
he improved the sanitary condition of
his barns. He established cropping
system based on corn and alfalfa,
choosing the latter rather than clo-
yer because on his farm it produces
at least so per cent more feed per
acre than does clover, and is much
more dependable.
Pastures have now entirely disap-
peared from his farm, because it's
owner has demonstrated that l. acre
Of corn and ] +. Of alfalfa together
furnish him with more feed than do
5 acres Of pasture. His improved,
well-fed herd, housed in clean, we'll
lighted, and thoroughly ventilated
barn, is yielding him more than
double the milk he formerly got from
his scrub herd. Furthermore, the
quality of the milk has improved, and
he demands and gets the price of a
first-class article.
The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives from
the sale of milk and Of purebred
cattle is based on the comparatively
small changes in his type Of farming,
which have augmented his business
without entailing any increase in the
size Of his farm.
A comparison Of this farm with
other dairy farms recently studied
by the department. indicates that the
example Of this Wisconsin man might
well be followed, in general, by any
dairy farmer who lives where dairy
products are high priced and who has
"a lowgrade herd, provided he has suf-
ficient knowledge Of cattle to give
high-class dairy cows the care that
they demand.

With all the improvements that
have been made in the public schools
and progress in educational methods
and ideals, we believe there is one
important phase in education that is
being lamentably neglected in this
country, and that is the physical
training of the boys and girls. Our
educators seem entirely to have for
gotten that children have bodies and
that these bodies require some atten-
ton in the school room during the
period Of growth Much thought and
attention is given to courses Of study
and means whereby the minds Of the
pupils may be trained and developed,
filled to the brim, with morsels of
tknowledge-but little is being done to
promote the health and physical we'll
being of the child. It may be argued
by some that nature alone will take
care Of the growth of the body and
that all that is needed is to let nature
take it's course. But is this reasoning
sound? One may as we'll claim that
the mind of the child will develop and
grow strong without the aid of the
school. In this day no one will dis
credit the value of mental training.
But is not physical training just
as important. A sound mind, one
capable of exertion and the highest
achievement, can dwell only in a
sound body. Children's bodies as we'll
as minds grow by exercise of the
right kind. In most schools no in
'struction or drill is ever given tend
ing to develop muscle or strengthen
an organ. Pupils are not taught to
sit, walk, breathe or talk properly.
Sanitary care of the teeth is not en-
forced and no provision made for re-
pair Of decayed teeth. 1t seems to
us that the mission of the school
should be to prepare a race physically
fit as well as mentally and morally
fit. In the European schools, espec-
tally those in the Scandinavian coun-
tries, much stress is laid on light
gymnastics according to the famous
Ling system and notifications there
of. Physical training is part of the
curriculum of every good school. The
object is not to develop stars in the
athletic field, but all around athletes,
and for that reason all the children
must take part. The drills are given
in the open air as much as possible.
They are in no sense a part of the
military training that young men,
after reaching maturity, is required
to take, generally against their will.
But the gymnastic drills in the
schools are great aid to- the exact
ing military preparation, and by
helping to make the men physically
fit, do even a greater service for the
security of the state than all the
n1ilitarism Of the country. If Pres
ident Wilson, instead of launching
upon his military program, had re-
commended more efficient physical
education in the schools, he would
have done the cause of "prepar-
edness" and the rising generation a
greater service than by the course
he has adopted.

On the very day that President
Wilson sent his preparedness mes
sage to congress, Count Okuna, the
Japanese premier addressed the diet
urging an increase in the navy, de-
claring that mot a day can be lost
in carrying out the PLAN. This looks
like a reply to Wilson'S challenge in
his message which bristled all over
with guns and flashes of powder, and
bears out the assertion that when
one nation begins to prepare, others
will follow suit and at last comes
the clash Of arms What is this war
