HINTS FOR THE LAWN


Most men are too busy to spend
much time ON the care of flowers
and vines around their homes and
for these. Prof, H. c. Stevens, bot
anist at the University of Kansas,
recommends the planting of peren-
malls which do not require atten-
ton each year as do the annual
plants. "Perennials take care of
themselves. Set out perennial and
have it done once for all" Profess
sor Stevens said.
''In Kansas number of perennial
vines and shrubs can be cultivated
with excellent results" he contin-
ued. "Clematic Paniculata blooms
late after other flowers have quit
blooming; it is beautiful and has
an exquisite perfume. Other vines
that can be grown with success are
Halls evergreen honeysnckle, Dor
othy Perkins climbing rose, Chinese
wisteria, and Virginia creeper. These
are adapted to the Kansas climate
and will grow with little attention.
They should be planted at the cor
ners of porches and below the pill
lar they are to climb"

Farmers viii make more money by
separating reasonably thick cream
than a thin cream. Swimming high
test cream leaves more skimmilk on
the farm to feed to hogs, calves and
chickens Skimmilk utilized In this
way has n feeding value of about 35
cents per hundred. while If the milk Is
left in the cream nothing is realized.
The buttermaker usually wants a
cream testing around 30 or 40 per cent
butter fat In the winter II the cream
is above 40 per cent 1t Is rather diff
cult to get the cream all out of one can
into another or into vat. Cream test
ing about 80 per cent in the winter and
40 per cent in the summer is right for
butter making.

SUES TO ESCAPE PAVING TAX
b. l.. Thompson Brings Suit Against
City of Herington

Charging that c. w. Rooms, may
or of the city of Harrington, and
other city officials acted without
loyal authority in ordering paving
and guttering on North B street
from the Missouri Pacific tracks
north to the intersection of Mulber-
ry street, and that four of his five
lots which were assessed, do not
abut on B street, B. L. Thompson
of that city has filed suit in district
court against the city of Herington,
the officials and all who might act
in official capacity for the city at
any future time, to prevent them
from levying assessments against
his property for paving or gutter
ing. On another count of the taxa
ton being illegal, he has taken ac-
ton in the court to declare lots
2-24, inclusive on North c street
not liable to taxation for pavement.
He challenges the validity of the
officials authority in the first in
stance, on the grounds that only 3
of the property owners of real
estate affected by paving on B
street signed a petition favoring
such an improvement. He states in
the petition that the paving and
guttering was ordered in on this
petition.

oiImeaI Better Than cottonseed.

We consider oimeal a little better
feed on the whole. than cottonseed
meal. says Hoard's Dairyman. Oil
meal is not as rich in protein as cot
tonseed meal. but II contains other
properties which give it a preference
This Is especially true If there are no
sllage or roots to feed. Oilmeal has a
good dietetic effect upon the animals
digestion. In other words. 1t tends to
overcome the constlpating effect Of
dry feed. It helps to keep the animals
digestion in good condition.

THE FIRE ANNIVERSARY,

Six years ago, Saturday, Oct. 7,
Baudette, SpOoner and miles of sur
rounding territory were visited by a
fire which left death and destruction
in list path. The forest fire of Oct.
7, 1910, destroyed two villages, hun
dreds of settlers homes, took thirty
four lives as it's toll, and caused un-
told suffering and misery, but it
could not destroy the courage of the
pioneers of the north, says the Bau-
dette Region. With the work of
years destroyed in a few hours and
with nothing but their indominable
pluck remaining, they turned their
backs to the past and their faces to
the future-and they won out against
tremendous odds.
Looking back across those six
years, w. T. Noonan of the Baudette
Region writes that he is prouder
than ever of the stout-hearted opti-
mlstlc men and women who so calmly
faced disaster on that terrible night,
and whose wonderful courage en-
abled them to conquer the many OBJ
stacles that beset their path in the
long months and years that followed.
AS we look at two prosperous vii
lagos, with their cOntented, happy
residents, as we look at the beau
tiful country surrounding them, with
their fields of grain and with the
many evidences of development and
Improvement, we can have only ad-
miration for those who have given
such a splendid illustration of true
American pluck.

to the national campaign, as we'll as
to the history of this nation, is the
classic speech delivered by Elihu
Root, former secretary of state, at
Carnegie Hall, New York.
With compelling logic, lucid il
lustration and unimpassioned oratory
Mr. Root analysed the record of this
administration, showed the estimate
foreign policy, the United States has
come to be held by foreign powers
and the danger which that estimate
involves.
1--WE are told that Mr.. Wilson has
kept the country out of war;" he said
at one point. $50 has every president
for seventy years except Lincoln and
Mckinley. Never since Columbus
sighted San Salvador has there been
a time when it was so easy for Am
erica to keep out Of war by doing
nothing as it has been during the
great conflict now raging in the Old
World. All the great powers of the
world, except ourselves, have had
their hands full with existing enc
mics. They have been straining
every resource to the utmost to avoid
being conquered by the enemies in
arms against them. Our danger is
not now, while the great war is
raging, but later, when peace has
been made and the great armies are
free and governments look about for
ways to repair their losses, and the
great spaces and ill-defended wealth
of the new world looms on the hor-
lion of their DESIRES"
Without bitterness, but with tell
ing force, Mr.. Root traced the course
of the Wilson administration. He
declared that the great safeguard of
a nation was it's reputation for char
acter and manliness and courage and
that with such reputation gone it was
almost certain to be imposed upon by
foreign aggressors as to make war
unacceptable.

AN APOLOGY,

Charles S. Sherman of the St. Paul
Times made mistake. He admits
it and he apologies for it.
Miss E. l.. Calihan of the Bemidji
Townsite & Improvement company
called his attention to his mistake
in regard to Bemidji and the fol-
lowing is Editors Sherman's plea for
clemency:
1--WE have been called down good
and plenty for associating, as we did
last week, the name of 'Bemidji' with
brutal assault on a young school
teacher short time ago. Our fair
correspondent says that it did not
happen in Bemidji, nor in Beltrami
county. 1t was in Grand Rapids,
Itasca county, I believe. Bemidji
brutes- if there are any like the ones
described not permitted to run
about. They lock them up when
they do not behave at Bemidji. No
other use for the Jail at that place.
All of which makes us want to doff
our hat to Bemidji-even at the risk
OF exposing our bald pate-and ask
forgiveness for the mistake. We
feel quite sure that the item which
called forth our indignation said
'Bemidji.' With this plea for Glenn
ency, but not offering it as an excuse
for the blunder, we submit our case
to our fair friend and to the city of
Bemidii"
