APRIL HONOR ROLL.
Names Of New Subscribers, and Of 9th
erS Who Paid Subscription During
The IlOnth Of April.

Habits of people change. Es-
pecially in business matters. The
young men of to-day are more
successful than their fathers.
They are more methodical. Slip
shod methods won't 90. They
are afraid of unpaid bills. This
is very noticeable in newspaper
subscriptions. Most people find
it easier to pay for their paper in
advance. Very few let it run a
year. This method makes it cas-
ier for the subscriber. 1t is so
much better for the publisher.
If the publisher loses a dollar on
a bad-pay subscriber, he loses
the profits on twenty prompt
payers. To those who paid dur
ing the past month, here's a
good big THANK YOU, and may
good luck and plenty of it be
yours during the whole of the
coming years. You will be in
terested in looking over the list
and seeing the names of the per-
sons who read and appreciate the

BEAVERS SAVING THE TROUT.

AUGUSTA, Me-, April II. Members of
the Inland Fish and Game Commission
are coming to the opinion that one of the
valuable aids to fish propagation and
conservation is the beaver.
In 1898 there was law passed making
close time on beaver. AT that time only
few were left. Protected by law,
however, beaver rapidly increased and
today are quite numerous in many sec
tions of the State. Hundreds of small
streams are damned and millions of gal
Ions of water are held in storage. Pools
are made which form the natural home
of trout and many stream which would
otherwise go dry early in the season has
plenty of water, this saving thousands of
small trout. 1t is realized that in some
sections beavers do considerable damage
to standing timber, but when compared
with the benefit of additional water
storage, the damage is looked upon as
negligible.
These animals are of great interest to
the summer people and some of the ponds
they have created have furnished good
supply of ice for neighboring farmers.

GERMANY MUST BEHAVE.
The President Addresses Congress. The
Note to Germany.

Note to Germany.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Representa-
tives of all the allied countries filled the
diplomatic galleries of the House today
when President Wilson addressed the
joint session of Congress. Women ruled
in the public galleries, less than 20 men
finding places in the 600 seats. Mrs.
Wilson was in the executive gallery.
The President began his address speak
ing slowly and distinctly. His voice was
heard throughout the chamber.
AS the President began the review of
the German submarine campaign there
was no demonstration to interrupt his
recital OF the sacrifice of American lives.
Not a sound was heard above the Presi-
dents voice as he spoke the name Lusi-
tania.
Every head bent forward as the Presi-
dent indicated that he was approaching
the announcement of the course he will
pursue. His declaration that Germany
had made it plain she intended to con-
tlnue indiscriminate warfare in defiance
OF international law and the protests of
the United States, was followed by the
statement that this determination had
LETT but one course open to the United
States.
When he pronounced the words of the
ultimatum, declaring that unless Ger
many should Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment of indiscriminate
submarine warfare this government
would have no choice but to sever din
lomatic relations, there was still no de-
monstration, only tense silence, re-
Election of the gravity of his words.
When he concluded his expression of
hope that Germany would so act as to
avert a break with this government, the
assembly broke into cheers
1t was LA when the President con-
cluded. He had spoken just Is minutes.
Applause started from the Democratic
side and the Republican members then
joined. Democrats began rising to their
their feet, and soon the entire assemblage
was standing. The applause lasted per
haps minute and then, as the President
passed out of the chamber, died away.
Speaker Clark declared the joint SEES
sion at an end, ana the Senators filed out.
Speaker Clark referred the address to
the foreign affairs committee and the
House resumed its regular business.
The American note to Germany, signed
by Secretary Lansing and addressed to
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, declares
that 'unless the Imperial government
should now Immediately declare and effect
en- abandonment of its present methods
of submarine warfare against passenger
nd freight carrying vessels, the govern
ment of the United States can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic relations
with the German Empire altogether.

ANOTHER VIEW

The Brown County Journal
(New Ulm) refers to the presi-
dental primary election to be
held in March for the first time
in the history of Minnesota, as
"a new privilege for Minnesota
voters" The Journal evidently
has a peculiar idea as to what
constitutes privilege" Under
the presidential primary law, in
stead of having privileges" the
people are, figuratively speaking,
put into a sack and informed
that their rights have been ex-
tended. An evidence of this con-
dition was found in the expert
ence of Thos. Tonnesson of this
city who last week filed as a
candidate to become a delegate
to the Republican National Con-
vention, and who, when he pre-
sented his papers for filing, with
Hughes named as his preference,
was informed by the Secretary
Of State that his filing could not
be accepted with Hughes named
as his preference, because, for
soOth, Mr.. Hughes had not filed

to let them manage the garden
and buy the vegetables from
them.
Plants require fresh (not cold)
air. Do not try to grow them
