Farm Gardens Money Makers

A garden on the farm means
an income of at least $50. There
are more than 100000 farms in
Minnesota. The totaI income
from 100000 farm gardens
/ should, therefore, be more than
$7,500,OOO.
The Illinois Experiment Sta
tlon by five years, experiments
with a half-acre garden showed
that the actual income in excess
OF expenses was about S1OO. The
estimate for Minnesota is onlv
half the actual returns in Hi
nois.
A good garden should supply
the family table during the
growing season, fill the store
room for the winter, and give
ample material for canning bv
the cOldpack methods.
The soil should be rich and
free Of weeds. IF the soil is
poor, it may be enriched with
rotted yard-manure. Good seeds
should be obtained and planted
in rows not too far apart. The
soil sould be cultivated to hold
weeds in check. A succession
Of the various vegetables is de-
sirable-sweet corn, lettuce, rad
ishes and carrots.
For 1916 reduce the cost of
living by getting more out Of
the garden-right out of the
soil.

en- is necessarily a nuisance has
passed out Of at least Al fani-
lies n the Madison school uis-
trict. says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. In this school there are Al
h)ys who know how to bake
dcughnuts and cook many 9TH
er things in manner that
would do credit to the cooks of
the school.
The Al boys are members of
the cooking class, and although
they can now take the respon-
sikility Of preparing a course
dinner, they are continuing the
studies to become experts. Some
Of them expect to be cafe chefs
some day, and some Of them
are just counting on a bachelor
life or wave of Women's rights.
Cooking is taken seriously by
these boys. It has to be taken
that way, for the boys have to
eat what they cook, and a
scorched pudding or underdone
doughnut is not the greatest
delicacy that a schoolboy may
wish.
The boys declare they are
learning cooking because they
like to cook, believing it con-
venient way to become prof.
cient at useful trade.
The lessons are put into prac-
tice in the homes, many of the
boys preparing Sunday dinners,
it is said.

May 5 Is
Made CIean-upD Day
Fire Marshal Urges Team Work
to Get Rid of
Rubbish

This Department is again
calling attention to Spring
lean Up Day in Minnesota
which has been set for May 9Th,
by Governor J. A. A. Burnquist,
is preparing a proclamation to
h2t effect: says Robert w. Har-
gadine, State Fire Marshal.
Reports received from depu-
ties throughout Minnesota show
that there is special need this
year for extra efforts to elimi-
nate rubbish piles. This is due
to the unusually heavy snow of
the past season. In many PLACES,
especially in the larger towns
and cities, the refuse piles have
been allowed to accumulate close
to wooden structures, because
Of the inability of most folks to
go far from the house.
Waste paper, pasteboard box
es, oily clothes, empty oil cans
and other refuse combine to
make a dangerous heap of rub
bish. 1t is suggested that ev-
cry citizen Of Minnesota lend a
hand and spend at least an hour
on May 9Th to clean up their
premises.
Work together. Reduce the
fire hazard and make Minneso-
ia fireproof, is the only request
made by the State Fire Mar
shal's Department. The coop
Grafton of the newspapers
throughout Minnesota in this
campaign is appreciated by this
Department and the aid is espe-
cially asked this year because
of the unusual need of team
work" on the part of everybody.
The Fire Marshaps Depart
ment has sent notices to Mayors
and Fire Chiefs in all the towns
III the state urging cooperation
on their part. In addition pos
ters are being distributed for
the benefit Of everybody, advis-
ing Of the need of what should
be done to Cleanup"

Yes. think it a very beneficial

articles on Steeyer's work in Wyom-
ing high schools. 1t never fails to
interest and atatract the eternal
feminine. That factor should be
used for its full beneficial value and

girls to the system?
Am not prepared to offer any spec
ial remark, in that, but Lieutenant
Steever's work in Wyoming develop
ed this feature

Yes and no. Some do, some don't.
But in general, the great majority
who feign dislike, are not really OPP
posed to it. The net result in my
experience is that majority like it.

HIGHLAND WANTS AUTO
ROUTE LENGTHENEO

Richland wants her mail earlier in
the morning, and looking towards this
she is making an effort to have the
present early morning Plains to Amer
icus automobile route extended to her
thriving city. The Richland News Of
this week has the following article
Since the Seaboard took off the night
trains through this city a couple of
years ago, Richland has been deprived
OF the early morning mail and caused
to wait until the noon hour to receive
the mail which would reach here early
in the day, but if the plans now being
pushed by Postmaster Jas. ]. Gordy
are carried out our epople may expect
the morning mails on time again at
some early Gate. Recently, the Gov
eminent instituted an auto mail SER
vice bringing mail out to Plains from
Americas each morning and it is the
purpose Of the local postmaster TO
have this service extended through
Plains to this city if possible. Just
what the outcome of the undertaking
will be is not yet known but the peo-
PIE throughout this city and on all the
rural routes from here are anxiously
hoping for a favorable report on the
undertaking of Postmaster Gordy. A
report may be made on the request at
an early date and again the affair may
be indefinitely tabled by higher post
Office officials in Washington.

that out. 1t is not at all general and
occurs only in cases here and there.
Sense of worth and proper belief in
ones individual importance are neces-
sary and a most desirable asset OF
character in any person. 1t is not my
observation that cadet officers, as a
class, are at all set up, by the fact Of
their commission, in any exaggerated
sense.
10. Does it produce the form OF
obedience without developing the
spirit of obedience?
l think it is impossible TO have the
form without some of the spirit. "
The question of how much of the spirit
is instilled, is hard to answer. The
character of principal, commandant
and of all officers, contribute to the
sum total of how much spirit is incul-
Gated. Human institutions to a very
large extent are the frightening shad-
ows of some one man.
Extent to Be Used.
II. Should it be used only where
the military system can be in force in
the buildings and On the field all the
time?
No. Drill and military instruction
can be successfully carried on where
there is no other discipline. 1t makes
fine contrast. The petty ignobleness
OF lack of discipline is brought into
sharp relief, to see for an hour day,
even, what change can be brought. OF
course, only the greatest success is
achieved where all ideas of discipline,
instruction and training are in har-
mony.
u. Can it be used successfully as a
rart of dual system giving military
instruction and having military control
on the field and having the reglar sys-
tenn in force in the class and dormitor-
les?
There are no dormitories with high
schools, so that feature is left out, but
| have seen the wholesome leaven of
military discipline permeate whole
school, till even men and women,
teachers, wholly opposed to the mill
itary feature, gradually took on some
and precision, and intolerance of late
Of its features. Promptness, decision
ness and laxness. They could see and
initiate only the forms; they could
not see or understand the spirit.
10. VIII the regular system seem
weak or the military system irksome
under double system?
Nothing better shows how weak and
inadequate the ordinary system is,
than to introduce military drill into
one of the ordinary type high schools.
1t quickens and electrifes the whole
life of the school. To some boys, the
military system will be irksome; they

A Study In The Schools Of
Military Instruction Made

Principal c. NJ. Hale, of the Ameri
Gus High School, has furnished thC
Recorder with an article OF
military instruction in the schools BY
Capt. w. B. Burt, OF the Goth U. S
Infantry, sometime a director of the
work of the cadets in the California
High Schools. 1t is published in a re-
cent book of Col. L. r. Gignilliat on
"Arms and the Boy" The article
which should prove very interesting to
all the people Of Americas because OF
the new course in the high schools:
Its Value as Instruction.
/. What Value Has It?
(al Mentally. 1t causes better CO.
ordination of mind and body than any
kind of athletics. Inculcates irmness
and decision to the character.
o. Physically. causes more erect
carriage of the body. Gives strength
and directness to all movements.
10 AS a preparation for military
service. Real military work for men
can be completed in one-third the time
necessary to instruct raw material.
Witness the Swiss systems of school
work first, then short service.
2. What special qualities of mind
and tody does it produce?
Obedience to law and authority.
CaImness and decision in character
Quick thinking and alertness of
mind; strength, directness and precis-
ion Of omvement.
9. Can these be obtained only from
military instruction or are there other
methods by which these results can be
secured? For instance, physical ex-
ercises for physical benefits
l know of no other way. Athletics
and physical training help certain
muscles. Once in while we see an
all round athlete developed physically.
He is usually Gym Fiend' and may
or may not be a good student The
chances are he devotes too much time
to physical training.
4. Do the records show that stud
ents so trained join the militia?
No, not in as great numbers as they
should. This is due to their youth, |
objections Of parents, and to the fact
they go away to college. Also, SER
vice in the militia is not made as at
tractive for them in some cases as it |
should be. However, some of the
most promising companies in the mill
itia have all the high-schooi students
in them that are permitted by their
parents to join, It is very promising
material for officers of the militia. If
officers of the militia were appointiye
and not elected by the men, think a
large number of these school cadets
could be got into the militia In fact,

ten,
Mo-its AS a Sys:erl Of Discipline.
5. what advantage does it have over
the va a. stem employed in school?
l Go net believe there is any com
parieon between the two It's advant-
age ls that there is at the bottom of all
military instruction, the basic idea or
obedience to law and constituted au-
thcrity. The modern school idea is
that the reason embryonic in boys of
highschool age) is supposed to guide
them. 1t doesn't. Military discipline
substitutes for the boys reason, the
combined and coordinated rules and

be made more irksome to that class.
IA. Should it be
(a) Absolutely, or
(b) Semi-compulsory with excuse on
request from parents?
OF course it may be difficult not tc
excuse some upon request of parents
But every excuse is a dead weight and
they should be as few as possible
Nothing is better than to have any
system Of instruction equal and uni
Tersal upon all.
Co Voluntary?
Never The words voluntary" and
military" cannot possibly exist side by
side. They ought not to be in the same
dictionary.
Is. At what grade in school can
military instruction adyantageously be
begun?
The first year of the high school.
IS. At what time of day can mill
itary instruction be best given?
(a) In school hours?
Always during school hours, pre-
ferably in the middle of the day. For
ore single hour-the most satisfac-
tory is from eleven to twelve.
(b) After school hours?
Never after nor before. For the
reason that advantage is taken to be
late or to omit it altogether. 1t
should be so arranged as to make a
grateful outdoor recess in the midst
of classroom work This refers, OF
course, to the ordinary public high
school.
It's Other Advantages and Disad-
Vantages.
II. What is the effect On the init
iative of students?
My observation is that ii increases
the initiative of all students who take
any interest in the work. have
talked with numbers of instructors
who assured me that they knew it
benefited the young men and boys
under them.
IS. What is tae effect on athletics :;
1t is better than any form of ath-
letics on account of the fact that it
reaches all.
10. Is it substitute for athletics?
1t is not a substitute, because it
does not take the place of the games
by teams. 1t supplements the work Of
individuals on the teams. 1t is the
best form of athletic training, if
proper attention is paid to athletic
work in connection with the drill.
For boys, great deal more work
in what might be termed Military
Gymnastics should be done and less
o. formal drill, and thus bring out
the gymnastic value rather that the
formal military values.
20. Does it work we'll in co-educa-

regulations for his conduct, based on
! the reason of the older and experience
ed teachers, officers and instructors.
So long as a boy exhibits all the
characteristics of young animal do
not believe it is safe to trust him to his
own devices. On the other hand / do
not believe in the blind obedience
caused by fear of such dire punish
ments that the will to think for ones
self is broken. l believe there is a
very great difference between whole
some respect for the law and author
ity with complete obedience to proper
superiors, and the blindness of compli
ance with unreasonable rules and
orders.
6. For an ordinary school it is bet
ter than a system which tries to train
its students to act with reason as al
basis rather than unquestioning obed
fence?
1t is. in my opinion, the only method
for training youth into habits of re-
spect for law and authority. 1 am sure
anarchy, violent socialism, riotous as
semblages and individual acts of viol-
ence are directly traceable to the sub
of individuals reason for
regulated and systematized habit of
respect for the law and authority in
in youth.
Z. Does it produce the feeling of re-
striction among students and cause
them to break violently away from re-
straint when out of its control?
| do not think so. 1t is my opinion
that incubation of a right soldierly
spirit along the military discipline will |
obviate any such thing.
My observation leads me to say that
schools and assemblages of
students not accustomed to military
control and discipline, when entirely
free from restraint are far more law
less and inclined to far more invasions
II private rights than the same num-
Der of cadets and youths accustomed
o military control.
s. Is it true military trained men do
not readily submit to less vigorous
control and that they poorly obey civil
aw?
If you mean that soldier has less
jatience with the laws delays, and
hat he moves with directness upon |
lis object, and that he looks with
lisdain upon weakness, yacilliation.

IN the contrary, will be found to be its

DALEY REJOENS
 RUNNING MATE IN RANKS OF POLICE.
Connecticut Go. Loses Both Members of Local Trol-
 ley Crew.

The dreams of one of the crews of the Connecticut Co.'S trolley cars were realized last evening when Patrick Daley, 33 years of age, a conductor, living at 91 Wells street. was ap- pointed to the police department to succeed James B. Heneghan, one of the 70 recently appointed. who tender ed his resignation.
 Daley was the conductor on one of the cars of which Patrick O'Neill was motorman. Both had aspirations to serve the city guardians of the flaw, both were certain that they would be appointed with the batch of TO named May 15. But the plans miscarried and Daley did not receive his appointment.
 There was much isappointment because the two Pats were not both among the select for O'Neill had been appointed and Daley was left out in the cold.
 Last evening Heneghan sent in his 1 resignation because his wife is i'll and did not want him to be away at night. Daley was appointed to succeed him and after President John c. Stanley had given him the oath, Commission CT Lyddy took him up to the city court room to introduce him to the other appointees, who had gathered for their first lesson in police work. Great was the joy of Daley and O'NeiH when they held reunion af- ter the lesson was over.
 Charges were preferred against Policeman Alexander Coughlin by Michael Gerrity of 1175 North avenue for using abusive language to him and his wife on March II. Both fam flies reside in the same house and had a quarrel which resulted in Coughlin arresting Gerrity, but the case was nolled in the city court. The charges were referred to the commit tee discipline.
 Frank T. Saunders of 60 North avenue was appointed a special police man and will do duty at the Ashcroft Manufacturing Go.
 A report from Electrician Thomas Williams was received suggesting that some old electrical apparatus be dis posed of to the GamewelI Go. and certain new appliances obtained. The matter was referred to Commissioner Lyddy with power to act.
