GOVERNOR TO SPEAK
AT STOCK SHOW

The fourth annual stock show will
be held on the Normal school cam
pus Friday, June 2. Stores of the
city will be closed from noon until 4
D. m. for the occasion. The agree
ment to close the stores was the re-
suit Of a canvass made by the Com
mercial club.
Each successive year the
stock exhibits have increased in
quantity and improved in quality.
The plans for this year guarantee a
big advance over anything before at
tempted, every department being
greatly enlarged and made more at
tractive and more valuable.
An invitation has sheen sent to Gov
ernor Philip to speak here on that
date and the committee feels assured
Of his acceptance.
The feature of these shows, in the
past, has been the explanations CIV
en- by the judges concerning their
rating Of the exhibits. This feature
is interesting and highly instructive
and is given the closest attention.
1t has proven an invaluable aid to
farmer patrons Of the show who are
making efforts to improve their
stock. This year the committee has
been especially fortunate in the Sc
lection Of judges. Mr.. w. S. Mos
crif Of Lake Elmo, Mimi, will judge
the dairy cattle. Beside being one
Of the Northwest's leading breeders
Of Holstein cattle, his ability has so
far been recognized that he was
chosen to judge at several national
shows, including the worlds fair at
San Francisco last year. 1t will be
worth great deal to cattle men to
receive expert advice first hand
from Mr.. Moscrift.
Professor C. C. Humphrey of Wis
consin university will again be judge
of the horses and beef cattle. His
work has been leading feature of
the past shows here and he needs no
further introduction.
This year, for the first time, cash
prizes are to be awarded to the win
ners Of first, second and third places.
Next weeks local papers will con-
tain the entire program. Watch for

MEANS OF PROFIT

Nearly every farmer could well af-
ford to take advertising in the home
paper, says w. P. KirkWood, editor
Of publications, University Farm, St.
Paul. Rarely does one find a man in
a rural district who realizes the saw
ing in time and trouble of letting
everyone in the county know that he
has something to sell or would like
to buy something, Mr.. Kirkwood
says.
Here are some of the things fire.
quently sold that lend themselves
readily to advertising: Pure-bred
stock; selected seeds; seed corn; spe-
cial plants, as strawberries, sweet
potato slips, cabbages; eggs from
pure-bred fowls; seeds of unusual
crops, as sweet clover, rape, alfalfa;
honey and bee products; supplies of
lumber, fence posts or wood; facili-
ties for doing farm work, as tanning
grain, testing corn, planting, feed
chopping or harvesting; used farm
implements. There are a hundred
other things that might be added.
Of course, he continues, there are
some things that do not lend them
selves to being advertised. Cream,
butter, ordinary eggs, meats, ordi-
nary chickens-things for which
there is market at some town with
in few miles of the farm-are best
disposed of by taking them to town
and selling them locally. But many
dozens of other things can be sold
more quickly and at a higher price
by spending a few minutes in writ
ing an advertisement.
Buying things needed may also be
made easier by newspaper space. 81

says, who rode day after day try

'ad' that would have cost him 81
would have saved $40 worth of
time"

A REGULAR ARMY
OF 175,OOO Men

A regular army of $1,000 men to
be increased in case of emergency by
the President to 218,O0O, and a ma
tional guard of 100000 men who
will take the oath of allegiance to the
National Government is the force to
be provided by Congress in all prob
ability. 1t is also substantially the
authorized army predicted by these
letters two months ago. Under the
short enlistment provision it will
provide force of active and reserve
men in both branches of approx
mately one million men in five
years, provided and that is a big
word-men can be found to reserve.
The present law authorizes some
thing like 1900 but a press report
says the total force now reaches only
u, 900 men, including 5000 in round
numbers who have been enlisted
during the past 60 days. In order
to maintain an army of It's, 900 men
it will be necessary to double the
present rate of enlistments and these
have been kept at high pressure
lately, caused by the Mexican situa-
ton. 1t is not law but men that we
need.
The National Guard promises to be
strong arm Of defense under this
bill, as it always has benin the past
A few regular army men and a few
expert writer's unfamiliar with
difficulties in recruiting have scout
ed at the National Guard but in the
writer's judgment it is and always
will be the strongest nucleus for a
volunteer army in case of sudden
emergency. In times of peace, it
will be difficult to maintain the reg
ular army at figures proposed which
reach a maximum of about three
times the total force now in service,
including recent enlistments.
Recently a second vote occurred
in the House which indirectly relat-
ed to the size of the army. 1t arose
when the conferees asked for fur
Their instructions on three Senate
amenments. The last amendment
voted upon was the old familiar
Southern waterpoWer fertilizer pro-
posal carrying SIS, 100000 to manu-
facture nitrates in time Of war. 1t
has been stricken out of different
bills repeatedly but with a strong
lobby on the ground was presented
in new garb.
A line up on all Senate amend
ments was brought about by the
nitrate" amendment which, how
ever, carried by four votes after
hard fight. 1t was the last amend
ment offered and the only one to
carry. AS amended it has some safe
guards that were not asked for by
the lobby. On a straight vote reg
ular army proposal Of 100000 men
or probably more. would have been
voted. This is more than has been
asked for by the President or the
Adjutant General and far more than
can be kept recruited. The all i'm
portant proposition over which no
controversy arises is the readiness Of
Congress to provide all men and
money that can be used whenever
called upon to do so. This has al
ways been forthcoming when re-
quested by any President.
