FLA y
By ARTHUR J. OGAAED

Flax is a crop especially ad-
apted to our climatic conditions
and the relatively new lands up
on which we are cropping. The
weed infested and flax sick soils
of the older states to the east,
produce poor crops of flax. Pop
ular opinion has it that flax is
injurious to the soil when the
fact is that flax in realty takes
out less plant feed than any OF
the other cereal crops. One of
the chief troubles with flax has
been isolated by the N. ID. Sta
ton as flax wilt. Practical COM
batting of this disease lies IN
treatment of the seed with for
maldehyde, rotation of crops and
the growing Of resistant varle-
ties on lands known to be intec-
ted with wilt Investigations as
to the best rotations for flax are
at present being conducted at
this station. Aside from the or
dinary cropping of flax on new
breaking. clean corn stubble pre-
pared by double disking is Civ
ing good results. Flax is a poor
weed fighter. Therefore clean
ground and preparation of the
soil such that the weeds do not
get a start of the flax are abso-
lutely necessary. Flax should be
sown at the rate Of about 20
pounds per acre. While flax has
been too often treated as a catch
crop to be planted otter every

Price Of Tulip.

In Holland the tulip became about
the middle of the seventeenth century
the object of trade unparalleled in
the history of commercial speculations.
From 1884 to 1887 all classes in all
the great cities of Holland became in
fected with tulipomania. A single root
of a particular species called the vice
roy" was exchanged in the true Dutch
taste for the following articles: Two
lasts of wheat. four of rye. four fat
oxen. three fat swine, twelve fat
sheep, two hogsheads of wine. four
tuns Of beer, two tuns of butter. 1000
pounds Of cheese, complete bed, a
suit of clothes and a silver beaker, the
whole being worth $500 forms.

schools began serving hot lunches to
the children who stay at the school
house for dinner and the idea gained
favor with the school board soon after
the experiment was tried in Morris.
Hot cocoa or soup is served at one
cent per cup. Children who bring
milk or soup may have it heated at
noon free. All children who bring
lunch will eat in the domestic science
room which will be in charge of mem
bers of the domestic science class.
The purpose of this move is to do
away with the cold lunch which is
harmful and in no wise enjoyable.
The school lunch was tried out in
Morris early last fall and has proven
popular with the children. Milk,
sandwiches, soups and other dishes
are served at small cost and are
prepared by the girls of the domestic
science class. At first only few
lunches were served but as cold
weather came the demand increased
and when the holiday vacation came
a large number of those who had been
in, the habit of bringing their lunches
had ceased and were regular diners at
the school cafeteria room.

Eagerness to Read Best Paper in
County Gives Tribune a Big
Boost on New Year

Subscription payments to the Tri-
bune have been coming so fast the
past two weeks that the young lady
who has charge of the mailing depart
ment has been obliged to work over
time. The Tribune goes out this
week with large number of new
names on the list and the largest part
of the increase is made right here in
Morris. Many of those who have
taken occasion to become new readers
of the Tribune have bestowed some
fiattering compliments for the editor
and his force, all of which has been
highly gratifying since the remarks
have come unsolicited and accompanied
by the stuff that keeps the patches
from becoming larger on the editorial
pantaloons. The Tribune has many
changes and improvements on the list
for the coming year which will be of
advantage to readers and advertisers
alike. The Tribune is forging right
ahead and is more than pleased with
the patronage it receives at home.
The Tribune is the paper that is read
carefully in every home by over
twelve hundred people who look for it
every week and who pay their sub
scription price regularly.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT
UNDER CAR TRUCKS
Popular Benson Young Man well
Known in Morris Meets Hor-
rible Death Jan. 1st

L. C. Simonson, cashier at the
Great Northern depot in Benson and
for some time an express messenger
on the Watertown branch, met a
tragic fate on New Years day when
he fell under the wheels of a moving
freight train which blocked the street
crossing near the Benson depot. Sim
onson was we'll known to many Morris
people. He was a friend of J. A.
Johnson, clerk at the Merchants hotel,
who speaks very highly of the young
man. Johnson says the story of
Simonson's presence in Morris and
that he had taken the wrong train
home on the day of his death is
absolutely false.
An account of the accident taken
from the columns Of the Benson Mon
itor reveals the following facts:
1.-The mangled remains of Leonard
C. Simonson, the cashier of the local
depot, were found on the track this
side of Murdoch on Sunday morning
about eight o'clock by the section
foreman. How he met with his death
we have been unable to learn, as no
one saw the accident. He was last
seen alive leaving the depot about
II as Saturday forenoon to deliver an
order to an eastbound extra freight,
which had been sidetracked to allow
another train to go ahead of it. AS
this freight was going east he was
seen on the top of the cars walking
towards the front end, presumably
making his way to deliver the order
to the engineer. 1t is therefore sup
posed that in getting off one of the
cars he must have slipped and his
clothing got caught to something
and was dragged under the wheels.
The accident must have happened
near the stockyards here for part of
his skull was found there Wednesday
night. 1t has been reported that he
had gone up to Morris Saturday af-
ternoon and met with his death while
returning home. We are informed
that this report is entirely without
any foundation.
1.-The remains were brought to this
city on Monday and the funeral SER
vices were held from the Synod church
on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Rev. Chr Peterson officiating. The
interment took place in the Synod
cemetery east of town.
The deceased was born in this city
on February Is, 1893, and was the
oldest son of Mrs. Solve Simonson.
He graduated from the Benson high
school in 1910 and entered the service
of the Great Northern.

In these days of initiative, referen-

note the explanation given by a we'll

Mr. Man goes home and announces
that he is going downtown after sup
per to meet friend. That's the initia-
tive. The wife of the house says, Are

seems to walk over the roof of her
nerves. That's the referendum. Then
Mr.. Man sits down and reads his pa
per. That's the recall. And that's all
there is to it. Understand it now,

Perfumes In Ancient DAYS,

Old as the history of the world itself
is that of the queen of flowers. The
ancient Greeks and Romans reveled in
roses. They were used lavishly at their
feasts. In the time Of the republic the
people had their cups of Falernian
wine swimming with blooms, and the
Spartan soldiers after the battle Of
Cirrha refused to drink any wine that
was not perfumed with roses, while at
the regatta of Baiae the whole surface
Of the Lucrine lake was strewn with
flowers.

THE PROTECTING FOREST.
Important Part Trees Play, In Prevent
ing Serious Floods.


1t has been shown that forests pre-
vent the rapid melting of ice and snow
and thus avert or modify floods in the
spring: Mountains also play an impor-
tant part with regard to floods. By in
tercepting drifting currents of moisture
laden air mountains are active agents
in precipitating rainfall. and unless
they are protected by forests the wa.
tiers pour down into the valley in de-
structive torrents. The evergreen
trees, particularly the spruces, are es-
pecially useful in controlling these tor
rents. Under all spruce forests there is
a large deposit Of what woodsmen call
duff" This is composed of partially
decayed trees. bark. needles, cones and
MOSES.
This duff varies from one to six feet
in thickness and has the power of alb
sorbing and holding water like q
sponge. During the heavy spring rains
it becomes thoroughly saturated with
water, which gradually oozes down the
mountain sides into the streams in
summer. The trees also protect the
snowfall from the rapid action of the
sun in spring, thus restraining floods
from that source also.
The protection of the forests there
fore is the surest and safest way in
which to prevent destructive inunda-
tons. They are really natural storage
reservoirs, not holding back great
masses of water in bulk. which may be
released by the breaking of some dam
and carry terrible destruction before
them, but storing it in the capillaries
of the spongy soil and yielding it gen
tly and continuously during the season
when most needed.-LondOn Standard
