The work of the class IN beef pro-

Phil. S. Jordan instructor of the de-
partment of animal nusbandry took
the twenty two members of the class
to inspect the large stock farm of
Keller and Winget, 10 miles south Of
Chokio last week. Five automobiles
were used to take the class t" the
Keller farm. Tne cars left at 8 A.
M. They arrived at the stock farm
about 10 A. M. The class spent the
morning on tour of inspection of
the large beef producing plant. Mr..
Keller has a large herd of Angus cat
tie, and markets many fat cattle each
year. The class received many sur
prises during the day, but the great
est surprise of all came when they
were invited to the chicken dinner
fixed for them b. Mrs. Keller. Later
in the afternoon Mr.. Jordan took his
class to the farm of Mr. Roland,
six miles south of Mr.. Keeler's
farm. The remainder of the day

Danger from Kitchen Fires

"This is the season of the year
most fatal to children. Not from a
sanitary point of view, as the doctors
would say, but from carelessness in
managing the household heaters and
the kitchen range" says Robert W,
Hargadine, state fire marshal.
"Recent reports received by the
fire marshal's department from in
vestigation of fires show that several
children have lost their lives or have
been disfgured fer life by being left
alone in the house by a'ents.
"In many agricultural communi
ties, where both parents and all other
adult members of the family are alb
sent, the small children left alone in
the house have palyed with the fire in
the kitchen range, and in most cases
fatalities have resulted.
"In one case in Roseau county the
father and mother left two small
children in the house. They played
with the fire with the result that
both were burned to death and the
entire dwelling destroyed.
"Do not take chances. Arrange
matters so that small children are
not left alon? in the house or in a
room where they can play with fire.
By observing a little caution, many
families will be spared the heart
rendering experience of having their
little ones burned to death.

FARMERS GET CASH
FOR QUACK GRASS
Eight Dollars a Ton Being Paid
for Roots by Dealers at
LuVerne

Some time ago an item was picked
up in Iowa by Dan Meyer and sent to
The Tribune to the effect that quack
grass could be marketed for it's medi-
cinal qualities, and this was later fol-
lowed by q statement from CORES
pOndent at the state agricultural COL
lege doubling the authenticity of the
report.
But according to the Luverne Her
aid, dealer in that city is regularly
engaged in buying roots from the
farmers and has a force of pickers at
work sorting out the especial parts of
the root that have a market value. 1t
is not expected that Stevens county
farmers will rush into the business
of raising quack grass, but here is
the item from the Luverne Herald =
"With a force of from fifteen to
twenty men, women, girls and boys
engaged in picking over quack grass
at the old creamery south of the Omaha
tracks, and several other people and
three teams out in the country un
earthing the obnoxious roots, w. c..
Kendall is building up an extensive
business in the sale of quack grass roots
to drug manufacturers, and at the
same time is doing much to rid some
farm lands that are badly infested
with this form of vegetation. At the
present time Mr.. Kendall's pay roll
exceeds 5000 week and he is hand
ling from five to ten tons of quack
grass each week, but, as the only
portion of the roots that is salable is
the whittier shoots or tendrils that are
attached to the main root, there is a
shrinkage of approximately fourffths.
Notwithstanding this big shrinkage,
a number If the pickers are making
exceptionally good wages. On the
other hand there is a demand for
picked-OVer products far in excess of
the supply and the prices obtainable
are consequently very satisfactory.
While Mr.. Kendall has been offering
49, 90 a ton for the roots just as they
are pulled from the ground, he is de-
pending on his own force of men for
his main supply. He has crew of
men and teams on the Gabrielson
farm three miles west of town, which
is operated by Floyd Norton, and here
the yield has been exceptionally good.
A tiye-tOoth quack grass digger, with
from four to six horses attached to
it, is first used to dislodge the roots,
and the ground is then thoroughly
gone over with Scotch chain drag
that rolls the roots up in punches,
so that they may be collected with
a hay rake. Mr. Kendall has also
solved the problem of hauling the
roots to town by attaching three
box wagon to the rear of his auto
mobile. He has thus found it pos
sible to haul loads of roots weighing
from 5000 to 4,8OO pounds at a
much more rapid rate than could be
done with horses

TELLS OF BEAUTY
OF MONTANA HOME
Miss Hudspeth Describes the
Surroundings and Life on
Montana Homestead

Miss Ola Hudspeth, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. o. Hudspeth, form
erly of Synnes, sends The Tribune the
following interesting description of
her present home near Hinsdale,
Mont. -
All around my home is a continual
range of hills. On the south a broad
fiat can be seen and a creek running
down the center of it. The name of
this creek is "Little Snake" so
named on account of its winding in
and out; it cuts its way down among
the hills and runs off down the valley.
About two miles from my home it
joins another creek called "BIg
Snake" which cuts a deeper couIee
among the hills until it runs into Rock
Creek.
Rock Creek is so named on account
of the rocks which are seen in every
direction. 1t has cut its way down
and has made a canyon. This CANYON
is about $3.50 feet deep and it is i'm
possible to get down into it in manv
places even walking or on horseback.
There are few roads leading into
this canyon but they do not 60 far and
are simply used for hauling cedar
from the canyon for fuel.
Up the canyon about four miles

H. S. BASKET BALL
PRACTICE BEGINS
First Workout Held Friday; DR..
Huffman Visits School:
Other Notes

High school athletes were given
their first stiff workout of the basket
ball season, Friday afternoon. Sup
erintendent Siomnds, who is coaching
the team, had the eight men who re-
sponded to the first call busy throwing
goals and passing the ball for the first
hour, and later practice game.
The short football season had not
toughened the players nor given them
sufficient wind or endurance for an
extended workout and accordingly Mr..
Simonds made the practice short
one. The team will practice three
afternoons a week after school and
three nights week. A rigid set of
training rules has been established by
Mr.. Simonds in order to condition the
players for the first game of the sea-
son with Benson, December Is.
The first practice of the girls
basket ball players was held Monday
night. There were fifteen girls out
for positions on the team. The girls
are being coached by Mr.. Simonds.
The boys manual training class have
materially aided the girls team by
constructing lockers for the accomoda-
ton of the gymnastic classes and the
basket ball teams.

from the mouth of Big Snake
is the Barr postoffice, also an old
road house. The scenery is very
beautiful around Barr, and, in fact,
the entire canyon is beautiful, its
massive rock hills, Lcedar clad; the
clear winding stream making music
as it flows over the rocks; the coulees
leading out of the canyon beggar de-
scription-they must be seen to be ap-
preciated. They bring to mind the
word of David "tand around are the
everlasting hills"

from my home is a little new town

About half a mile west from the

half miles west from the school is
the "trenchman, another creek
flowing south from Canada; this creek
has cut another deep canyon. Its
walls are not so steep as Rock Creek
and we find no cedar here. 1t is a
larger stream than Rock Creek and
has more trees along its banks, it is
stream of wonderful beauty; down
this creek about three miles is anoth-
