Blessing of Diversified Farming.

It has come to be accepted that
the wheat crop of Minnesota and the
Dakotas, as a whole, will be relative-
,ly light in quantity and low in
grade. Weather conditions of the
past three weeks have been 50 un:
+fasorable that the wheat, speaking
generally, was damaged beyond the
possibility of repair by the rains OF
the week end. =.
In such crop emergency the dis
position is to, minimize the damage
until the threshing machines have
told the: exact truth, so it is fair to
assume that all of the current re-
ports have done the situation no III
justice. y, -.
With the prospect of reduced
wheat crop before us, it is interest
ing. and. gratifying to observe that
there is not an intimation of an un-
favorable effect upon the genera!
business outlook Of the Northwest.
Why? In a word, because the
Northwest no longer is one-crop
section. The time was when a fail
ure of the wheat crop spelled dis
aster; when, if the farmer marketed
no wheat, he had nothing else to
market. That condition is but a
memory to-day. Diversified farming
has solved the problem and saved
the farmer. His losses in one crop
are met by his gains in another.
This year he will more than recoup
himself in alfalfa, corn and cattle.
A big wheat crop, in view Of
foreign conditions, would have been
source Of great wealth to the
Northwest. But the price of wheat,
in spite of speculative manipulation,
SO is regulated by the law of supply
and demand, that the short crop Of
this year may bring as large returns
to the grower as heavier crop un-
der different conditions.-St. Paul

WHEAT TAKES A JUMP
OF ELEVEN CENTS

Wheat took a jump of eleven
cents to-day, the price at Warren
being now $1.38. The unfavorable
crop reports in regard to this cereal
from all parts Of the country are
responsible for this phenomenal ad-
vance. The government estimate
shows a decrease of 1O5,OOO,OOO
from the forecast reported in July.
Corn, oats, barley, rye, flax, potatoes
and. apples show heavy declines of
former estimates. The whole United
States and to a large extent the
whole world faces a lean year, it
would seem.

Visit Pine and Lake Region.

A. E. and Adolph w. Mattson
represented the Sheaf at the North
ern Minnesota Editorial outing held
at Cass Lake, Saturday and Sunday.
There were over 100 scribes present
at the outing and the entertainment
provided them by the generous citi-
zens of the village was of a very
high order. Nothing was left un-
done by the Cass Lakers to make
the outing of the editorial party the
great success that it proved to be.
Cass Lake is a city with a popu-
.lation OF about the same as Warren
and is situated on the shores of
beautiful #Cass Lake.. This lake is a
large body of water, being about 8
miles long and Z miles in width.
The lake is dotted with several is
lands, the most interesting of which
is Star island. This island has Al an
area of about 10000 acres and has
IN it's center an inland lake, which
has neither an inlet nor an outlet.
The island has miles of sandy beach
and is the summer home of some
SOU people. To: the east of j" Cass
Lake city is the national forest, re-
serve of about 100000 acres and
which includes the entire area of
Star Island. The purpose of this re-
serve is to keep in existence the
thousands of virgin pine which grow
within2its borders. =.
The forms of entertainment pro-
vlded for the editors were boat rides
to different parts of the lake and to
Star Island. Each ride was featured
by splendid dinner served at the
noon hour. An automobile ride thru
the magnificent forest reserve was
one of the most enjoyable features
of the entire outing.
After attending the editorial out
ing the writer and A. E. Mattson
spent Monday forenoon at Grand
Rapids, where they went thru the
large paper mill. Here we saw the
method by which print paper is
manufactured. The Sheaf receives
it's entire supply of paper from this
mill. - =
The afternoon was spent in the
city of Bemidji, one of the most
beautiful summer resorts in the state
OF Minnesota. Hundreds of people
from distant states make Bemidji
their summer home.
In the evening we boarded the
train for Crookston and arrived in
Warren Tuesday morning.

Esteemed Young LADY Passes Awav

Esteemed Young Lady Passes Away.
Miss Edith Emelia Olson, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Eric Olson, of town
Of Foldahl, died on August 8, 1876
of inflammation of the brain, after a
three weeks illness, aged Is years,
10 months and 5 days.
r. Deceased was born at Foldahi,
Sept. 2S, 1900. She grew up to be
a I. bright and promising young
woman, dearly beloved in her home,
and held in the highest esteem ny a
large circle Of friends. AS she
budded into won1anhood long life
|. of service and happiness seemingly
opened up before. But God in his
mercy had decreed otherwise. On
the early wings of the morning on
the above mentioned day the i'm
mortal spirit of Edith Emelin was
carried away from the sorrows of
earth to the realms of eternal bliss.
She had attended the Argyle High
School: two years and she was con-
flrmed on Aug. 4, 1912. Four years
later to the day, namely on Aug. 4,
1916, her funeral was held from the
same church, the Norwegian Luther
an church at Alma. The funeral
service was conducted by Rev. G..
Wahlund, assisted by Rev. A. Gil
seth. Many beautiful floral tributes
attested" the love entertained for her
by those with whom her brief life
had come in contact. Her High
School class and the Young Peoples
Society contributed artistically
designed set pieces.
Although firm in the conviction
that the departed daughter and sis
ter has only gone before to the bet
ter :land, yet in the family circle
where she was the center of love
and attention, there is an empty
space, and in hearts of those who
were near and dear to her there is
an aching void that time only can
heal. TO all who mourn the COM
'munity extends most heartfelt
sympathy.

FOX FARM AT TURTLE RIVER.
Animals Brought From Alaska and
Hudson Bay; Worth $1,000 Each.

Bemidji is receiving wide publicity
as game center, the establishment
Of the big game refuge here making
possible the preservation of wild life.
The natural facilities provided here
have appealed to a former Minneap-
oils man, DR.. Pocce, and he is now
operating black fox fur farm near
Turtle River.
DR.. Pocce has five foxes on his
farm at present and has gone to
Hudson Bay to secure two more he
has owned for some time. When he
returns to Bemidji he will place
them on his farm, which is being
taken care Of by a capable man,
and leave Immediately for Alaska
where he has 10 more foxes. It will
take many weeks to bring these
foxes to Bemidji as they are in the
heart Of the undeveloped region OF
Alaska and will have to be placed in
cages and hauled 600 miles on horse
back over the mountains to the sea
coast from where they will be
brought to the western coast of the
United States by steamer. When
these animals are brought to Bemidji
Dr.. Pocce will be ready to begin FOX
farming on a large scale. He will
have II foxes and the worth Of his
farm can be realized from the fact
that the value of the foxes will aver
age more than 81 900 each. -Benidji

FEMINISTS DECLARE
ALIMONY REVOLVING
Radical Leaders Approve Stand
Of Crystal Eastman.

None Of the radical thinking women
Of the city was surprised yesterday that
Crystal Eastman Benedict asked for
no almony when she brought suit for
divorce in Chicago or Tuesday.
"Of course, no one would accept
money from a divorced husband unless
she were p confirmed invalid or had
little children TO support said Mrs.
James Lees Laidlaw yesterday. III
woman cannot stand it TO live with r
man. certainly the touch OF his money
would be intolerable to her. | do not
believe in divorce AZ all unless the
conditions are so revolving that
woman cannot endure them any longer;
in that case the mans money is just as
bad as he is"
This seemed TO be the prevailing
opinion, and only one feminist voice
was raised in defence OF alimony. That
was the voice of Mrs. Marion b. Goth
rem. lawyer and suitragist.
Marriage under present social con-
Gitions robs woman of every oppor-
tunity to develop her own talents" she
said. After few years she is quite
untitled to earn her own living. This
is the fault of the husband, who has
insisted that she devote herself TO him.
II seems 20 me he should be held
financially responsible for his deeds.
We can never abolish alimony until
VIC establish economic independence
for women. After all, il is no more
humliating for a woman 70 accept
money from man after divorce than
before IL"
