''The phenomena occur when the
density in the strata of the air they
pass through. When luminous ray
penetrates from less dense into a
more dense medium, it undergoes a
deviation which bends it nearer to
the line perpendicular to the boun-
daries of the two surfaces; and when
it passes from a more dense to a less
dense medium, it suffers deviation
bending it from the perpendicular.
The mirage is phenomenon of total
reflection.

very accurate eyesight, but must al

certain regions the mirage is so
plainly evident that it arrests the

plains of Arabia and Egypt, and the
Great Plains of the United States.

Flood Danger Averted.

The present cool weather has re-
tarded the melting Of the deep snow
all over the valley and has thereby
prevented serious flood. High
water is reported along Red River at
Fargo and Moorhead and at Grand
Forks, and if the cool weather had
not interfered Red River as we'll as
all other streams in this county
would have been over their banks by
this time. Much water has already
run off, but considerable snow yet
remains on the ground. It will be at
least a week or perhaps ten days
before any seeding can be done in
this locality. One consolation is that
the plowing is all done and it will
not take long to put the seed in the
ground, when the spring work does
commence.

ARB0R DAY
PROCLAMATION
Governor Burnquist Wisely Defers
Annual Tree Planting Until
April %.

The season of the year has again
arrived when every home in Mime
sofa can be beautifed by the plant
ing Of trees, shrubbery and flowers,
and when in our schools special
study of arboreal life should be en-
couraged by fitting exercises and all
of our citizens by proper activity be
made to realize more fully the prac-
tical and aesthetic value of plant
culture and tree life.
1t is remarkable what difference
the manifestation Of even a little
community interest in the promotion
of arboriculture makes in the ap-
pearance Of the grounds of our
schools and public building and of
our farms and municipalities. An
illustration of the combination of
beauty and utility is the present day
practice On the part of many en-
ployers Of labor Of making surround
lngs Of those working for them
pleasant by having contiguous to
their factories and shops grassy
plots and lawns ON which have been
planted shade '.>trees, vines and
flowers. This custom cannot be too
highly commended, and with very
little expense and work could be
adopted by a much larger number in
our different communities and in all
walks of life, whereby many places
that are now eyesores would be
transformed into spots of health and
beauty
Closely associated with the care
and growth of trees and plants is
the protection of bird life. The
hostility and Indifference of man.
kind to the feathered creatures of
the woods should be eliminated and
all possible efforts advanced to save
from determination these friends
and companions Of man, who not
only gladden. him with their charm
and the melodies they pour forth,
but who are of practical value in
destroying many Of the enemies Of
trees and crops.
In order to set apart a certain dav
for the observing Of which, wherever
convenient, appropriate ceremonies
may be held, !, J. A. A. Burnquist,
Governor Of the State of Minnesota.
do hereby designate and proclaim
Friday. April %, 1916, to be Arbor
and Bird day.

Crookston Farmer Has Invention

N. P. johnson, the man who origi-
mated the Great Northern dent corn,
has again come to the front with an
invention which promises to be a
boon to farmers. He has invented
and patented new make Of drag
which he guarantees will entirely
eradicate quack gress as well as be-
ing sub soil drag, bringing up new
ground and turning the old soil un-
der. He has had one built according
to his specifications by local shop
and as soon as the weather is favor
able will give it a trial near the
city. The drag is triangular in shape
and is drawn by four horses.

cry concerns are negotiating with Mr.

firm having offered him $45,000 fol

PROHIBITION NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN ST. PAUL

The National Convention of the
Prohibition Party, to be held in ST.
Paul July 1921, will probably be the
largest convention of the kind ever
held. In addition to the regular con-
vention business of making a plat
form, nominating candidates for
president and vice president, and
forming a new National Committee
there will be a great "dry" parade
participated in by drys from all over
the United States. Many Minnesota
counties are arranging displays and
floats for this event. It is expected
that no less than a thousand auto
mobile parties, from various sections
Of the country, will come to the con-
vention. The program will contain
the names Of the most notable pro-
hibition speakers in the United
States. This convention meets only
once each four years, and when it
does meet it marks a notable event
in the history of the prohibition
movement. It has never been held
west of Chicago, and since it's first
gathering in 1869 most of the meet
ingss have been in the east. The 1912
convention was held in Atlantic City
N. ]. About 1000 regular delegates
in addition to alternates and visitors
will be in attendance, and it is ex-
rected that the total attendance at
the gathering may reach 10000.

The fact that farmers in the i'm

able to furnish buyers from a dis

wanted in the line of pedigreed
stock, is evidence of the great de-
velopment made in stock raising here
during the past ten years. In

Nemetz says, the cattle ranges are

introduced.
